QOTD: SWISS WINE!! Well, if the US dollar wasn’t so WEAK right now, I think I would’ve already had some wine from Switzerland. As of now, I know about their bank accounts, their perpetually “neutral” status in international conflicts, and the fact that they like to ski.

I bet AJ is hungover!
🙂
Great episode, very informative..thanks Gary & Sophia.

Awesome episode. May never find Swiss wine, but I have a better understanding 🙂

QOTD: Interesting you ask that, just after i read an article in Conde Nast Traveler “Dollar Power” about where the dollar goes furthest. The Euro has strengthened alot against the Dollar, but Switzerland never switched and still uses the Swiss Franc, which has not run up as much against the Dollar. Thus making Switzerland a nice place to visit, when compared to other places in Europe.

Great episode GV!!! You know I am down with the Swiss, especially after just spending 3 months there. I drank a ton of Swiss wines while over there, including chasselas, dole, merlot, etc. Great episode!!!

Come on Gang. We need more comments than 154. This is such a great episode for comments. Excellent material.

How about Gary almost getting dissed on the handshake. She gave Gary a subtle look of Horror, like he was reaching out with a gapping blood drenched claw….

Excellent video as always! I’ll definitely be sharing as some friends didn’t believe me when I returned from a trip, the Swiss actually do have some fabulous wines!

I made a point out of trying Swiss wines. I have had the Château D’Auvernier Neuchâtel 2005, the Bonvin Dôle du Valais 2005, and the Bonvin Humagne Rouge 2005. Swizerland is more than just Roger Federer, although he’s fun to watch.

QOTD: I don’t know much about the Swiss except they have mountains and beautiful women…. and the’re smart! Way to step away from the Jets trap Sophia.Well done.

Great show.
Never been to Switzerland or had the wines.
So many places to go and wines to drink. Looking forward to trying as much in ’08 as possible.

Haven’t hear much about Swiss wines, but look forward to finding and trying some!

Visited Switzerland on our honeymoon. Champery, Montreux and the Matterhorn specifically. Didn’t have any wine while we were there. 🙁 Definitely a goal to go back and see more of the spectacular country and get to know the culture. I will be seeking out the Rose featured on the show, for sure.

Great episode. I love Sophia’s accent. It’s very pleasant.

I loved the bit at the end too… hilarious.

What a treat Gary and Sophia!
You continue to amaze with these high quality shows Gary. What a class act. Sophia!!!!XXXXX …You’re a real doll and winemaker too! I’ve been trying to find some Swiss wines but…no. Thanks for coming onto WLTV, you were a real treat.

QOTD: I wanted to go there because of the people, culture and terrain and I went. It was better than I could have ever imagined. Swissair hired me. Your culture, civilizion, geography and tradition is the best.

This show really hit home for me, my wife and I went there, and my son was born there…..he, Jubal,…Zurich, 1971. BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY and Beautiful people!!!

Excellent episode, a Baroness wow! Sophia is sharp, and what a great heritage!

I havenâ??t had a lot of Swiss wines, but these sound like wines that I will definitely have to seek out.

QOTD: Switzerland is one of those places I have always wanted to visit. It is on my bucket list.

QOTD. Switzerland is so pretty. I really enjoyed my time there. I’ve actually never tried one of their wines. It’s probably because I’ve always seen them as too expensive and mainly whites. But I understand that it’s very difficult (read expensive) for them to work the vineyard. I guess I’ll try to find one now.

Sophie was great. These multicultural European countries produce such talented young people!

Cool episode! Her English is amazing, and she must speak French and German fluently (seeing as she’s from Switzerland), I feel humble and small 🙂
I would love to sniffy-sniff and taste that rose, too.

Great episode guys, Sophia was awesome.

QOTD: I know there are Alps, bank accounts, and good hot chocolate.

Great episode… glad WLTV will continue on beyond the 400 mark so we can enjoy many more like this one! I live in Munich, Germany (just over an hour from the Swiss border) and Swiss wines aren’t very common here either so I always make it a point to purchase the ones I can get my dirty little paws on. Definitely a region worth covering. Keep up the great work!

Good show! I actually went to Switzerland this past summer since my brother and his family were living there for a while. Zurich is a beautiful city…wish I could afford it.

QOTD: The wines aren’t bad at all, but they are expensive compared to what you get here for the same price. However, I’m still always willing to give them a try because (a) Switzerland is BEAUTIFUL, (b) their winemaking history is pretty extensive, even if most of us don’t know that much about it, and (c) a couple of their really great winemakers are working in New Zealand, making some awesome wines there. Oh, and the fondue and raclette are all seriously tasty.

Bonjour la suisse ! gary i’ve got the eye of the partridge (perdreau in french and perdrix when female)cause had a vine shoot going into my eyes while pruning today in the trellises 🙂
QOTD : switzerland is too small military planes are obliged to cross the french sky 🙂

Wow, another great show for the record books. Thank you Sophia. I had no idea
Switzerland was producing wine. I have never seen any in the retail shops or restaraunts here in NC. I would definetly seek out and try them if they become available. Any chance Wine Library will be carrying some in the future??

Also, great finish to the show. Thanks Mark E.

QOTD: I’ve seen Swiss wines at a few shops in Cologne – will definitely give them a try after watching the show.

Thunder Cat was the 2nd best guest host of the day!
