I’d like to recommend that Gary adopt the Thundercat’s method of tasting wine.

Love the way she diss’d the JETS… must be a Giants fan!

Gee…… i don’t think Sophie was to enamored wit’ Ya when Ya gave
her Rose a 88-89 score….She was NOOOOOT HAPPY wit’ You!!! 🙂

QOTD: I know Switzerland has Beautiful Mountains, Gooooorgeous
Woman….Got me bags packed & ready to go !!!!

Sophie, Thank you so much for being on the show. Really enjoyed listening to you talk about Swiss wines. I would like to say I have had a Swiss wine but I think the closest I have gotten is Austrian.

Thanks Gary for having Sophie on the show. One of the best interviews so far. Very informative.

QOTD: I have had the fortunate pleasure of visiting your fine country with my family. My daughter loves Switzerland and Austria and cannot wait to return. What I think of when I think of Switzerland is; the longest tunnels I have ever been through; crisp, cold, alpine air; majestic mountains; some of the most picturesque vistas; soft alpine tundra; the music of cow bells; waterfalls; tiny cottages perched high on mountainsides; Sherlock Holmes.

Here is a good reason why they are expensive. Dezaley is perhaps its best vineyard… Try working in this. No machines possible.

Oh Yeeaaah…….
Dat Thunder Cat at da end of da Show was a Kick-in-da-Ass!!! 🙂
You’re Tooooo Much, Gee…… 🙂 🙂

Awesome episode GV, what a hip lady too, yeah it would have been super funney if you pretended to just hate one passionatly, and have her feel uncomfortable, then you reveal you were just joking around. great episode. i think i am going to try some rose.

QOTD: this episode!!!

I think the Swiss neutrality might be infectious, but you both made it look glamorous. Good clean fun!

QOTD: fondue

Careful Gary: What Europeans call a lime tree, we call a linden tree, i.e. not the same tree.

Very fun and educational episode. Thanks for spending your time with us, Sophia!

QOTD: I was lucky enough to take a short trip through Switzerland when I was a teenager. Traveled through the Alps, and ended up spending a few days in the Lake Geneva area. It is perhaps the most romantic, beautiful place I’ve ever visited. Gorgeous setting, wonderful food, and the very first place I ever had a sip of wine! I don’t know what kind of wine it was, other than being white (was only 16, so what did I know about anything???). I have always wanted to go back, and someday I’m sure to visit. Next time, I’ll know what wines to try. 🙂

Dude…that kicks ass, I love this show!!!

Nice episode!
I am curious about swiss wine and I might try some in the future.
QOTD: I’d like to go there because of the landscape, I love mountains!

QOTD: If you are like Gary, and like the funky stuff. Go to the Swiss Alps wear you will have razor sharp crisp air and step in the cow dung I have visited Switzerland several times (4). My little brother lives in Zurich he married a Swiss girl.

Great show, I will definitely look for the rose. Just so you know, some Chaselese is grown in the Puget Sound appellation of Washington State. Mount Baker Vineyards. It is tolerant of the cool, wet climate up here.

Gar

Good espisode – it can’t be easy getting Swiss wines across, but Sophia, with little bit of you, totaly whet our appetitie. Congratulations to Sophie for getting more than a couple of words in over the great Vaynerchuck!

Now you know you’ve gotta adopt the Thundcat tasting method in one of your (more crazy) episodes! C’mon you know it’s gotta be done!

QOTD: Learnt to ski in Switzerland, lovely villages beautiful mountains, unfortunately I wasn’t into wine then (being just 17), but I’m going back to ski again – This time I’ll definately be checking out the vin.

Great show, Gary and Sophia, although like the other Vayniacs I am jealous that I can’t taste those wines as well!

When you mentioned “Oeil de Perdrix”, it made me remember my visit to Napa a couple of years ago. We stopped by Trinchero/Sutter Home and they had one of the original white zin bottles there and guess what they called it? Oeil de Perdrix! No kidding! The guy at the tasting counter said that the name was too intimidating so they changed it. Crazy, huh?

QOTD: I’ve been to Switzerland twice and loved it, but never tasted any Swiss wines while there. It is a beautiful country though!

good show, informative and pleasant guest. PA actually sells the Neuchatel.

QOTD: I know that the swiss may by a referendum of 100k revise their constitution, they didn’t let women vote till 1971, they get a new leader every year, and they also grow some gamay merlot and riesling/sylvaner….

I enjoyed lots of Swiss wine last time I was in Zurichâ?¦ thanks for reminding me of some great times, guys! I definitely want to go back.

Switzerland is one of the most beautiful places in the world bar none. That being said it is expensive but if one can afford it one should go. The wines I had there were incredible and in comparison were not that expensive. Certainly not Spanish or Portuguese prices but well worth the price.

Sophia was so cool, she kept right up with you!

QOTD: When I think of Switzerland I think of upscale quality, and beautiful scenery.

Great show…we’ll have to look for Swiss wines. Thank you Sophia and Gary.

QOTD: Well, Carl’s been to Switzerland…spent some time in Montreux and Geneva. He didn’t drink wine though. I know very little.

Grande exposition avec un invité bien informé et d’amusement.

QOTD : J’ai entendu tant de choses merveilleuses au sujet de la Suisse ; le paysage, la nourriture, et particulièrement les personnes ainsi moi doivent la mettre sur ma liste courte d’endroits à la visite en Europe.

Merci infiniment de partager vos vins avec nous.

Cheers!

P.S. Go Giants!

Great show,I like the way she swirls over your swoshing.
We are going to Switzerland this summer,will have to try these wines.
Still waiting for BC wines
