QOTD; How about a basic GSM with about 3% Pinot Blanc.
I have had a Chamborcin with Vidal Blanc, considering I am not a big fan of Hybrid Varietals, the blend wasn’t too bad.

GREAT episode as usual.
For the mixing qotd bit, I’d like to see the classy Cab Sauv spiked up with an aromatic fruit bomb like a Riesling or a Gewurztraminer (90:10 ratio)…might be scary!!
Cheers

Great episode.

QOTD: Umm…Monastrell and Riesling?

QOTD: Charbono and Viognier, it would taste like smoked fruit. hmmmmm.

Nice ep. today, I will be seeking out the first two. The first one for my wife, and the second one for myself.

Great episode.
Also a Magpie addict here….amazing.
Don’t walk…run.

QOTD:
Of course i would start with the Bartles grape and then add a little Jaymes. Yummy.

Seriously:
Corvina and Riesling

Thanks Gary for this very inspiring episode. I havent noticed before, that Chapoutier was doing something in Australia.
QOTD: better leave this blank – there are better talented guys out there doing the Cuvée-Job 🙂

Enjoyed the ep! Looking forward to trying some of these . . .

QOTD: I agree with Lurkerdog and pick Zin with 5-7% Viongier.

Saludos!

Gary, great show. It was nice to see 4 wines that bring the thunder.
QOTD- Grenache, Reisling, with a hint of Shiraz.

QOTD- how about Sangiovese with Viognier?

Thanks for another great effort, GV.

QOTD: Chenin Blanc + Tempernillo

qotd: Hmm…Syrah and Verdelho maybe

QOTD: Pinot Noir and gerwurtraminer

Great episode.
QOTD:Viognier/Malbec

WPROC stole my thunder – Petite Sirah and a little bit of Chenin Blanc would change the wine world (wouldn’t it?)

G’Day, Thanks for introducing another new act to the stage. I can’t wait to see this one perform. I’m sure it will be a “really big show”. QOTD: Chassella/Tannat

QOTD: MAD DOG / BOONES FARM STRAWBERRY HILLS

Hang on, didn’t Bonny Doon use to make a Madiran that was Tannat with a few percent gros manseng?

You’ve been coming up with real interesting episode ideas lately, Gary. Well done. I enjoy Shiraz-Viogniers too but haven’t had too many.

For all the pinot-gewurztraminer people out there, Marcel Deiss is making those although probably not in the way you’re thinking.

QOTD: Barbera-Gewurztraminer

QOTD:

Pinot Noir & Nebbiolo
Sauv. Blanc & Pinot Blanc
Chenin Blanc & Gewerztraminer

QOTD: I’d like to see Cabernet Franc blended with a white, but I don’t have a good feel for how the different whites would make it taste. That would be a great party – a 1.5 or so of a red and 5 whites – blend your own. I’d like to try Zenaida Cellars Zephyr with zinfandel, syrah, and viognier.

It’s like the Viognier helps tone down the shiraz. Almost like it dilutes the wine.
Nice episode.
If I haven’t said it before, “thank you” gary. I appreciate the effort and work you do. Much appreciated.
all the best,
T.

as for the qotd …. I’d like to see your wine collection blended into my cellar.

Yo Big G! Did I miss it? Have you already told your peeps about Conan O’Brien? I can’t wait. I know you’ll bring the thunder!

I think this show sort of tastes in my mouth what a Cote Rotie might taste like. An interesting blend that catches your attention like an interesting show that comes in like a surprise. Definitley another blend to try soon!

QOTD: Garnacha Tinta/Albarino for an interesting indigenous Spanish blending action. Perhaps this might actually be good?

super informative show. i am really happy that you brought on the chapoutier. i have been sniffing around that bottle. i am going to have to get a bottle soon. also, thanks for the cellaring advice at the end.
QOTD: nebblio & chinan blanc ( franco/ italiano)
