    I’m an overly-affectionate type anyway, so no one around me doubts how much I love them. But I get what you’re getting at. It’s important to show it every day.

    QOTD: Godello.

    Gary, where did the all love-talk come from? Is that an influence of Valentines Day? Speaking of which – what are you planning for the 14th Feb.?

    QOTD: I dont really like Chardonnay and for some time i associated that with a dislike for all white wines, until i found Viognier. Now im getting into other whites like Dry Rieslings. Thanks to your show Gary!

    Celebrated one of my niece’s 2nd birthday yesterday… she was born about 3 months early, and it is amazing to see her doing so well now! It was also great to hang out with the rest of my family…

  • David

    Please don’t say that about Riesling! I am enjoying the extremely high quality to price ratio. I don’t want it to take the same path as Pinot Noir, which is now way too high priced. Riesling was supposed to be our little secret. 😉

  • The nose on the the Ash Hollow is more like canned Nestea with Lemon….I love it myself……we have LOTS of good Gewurztraminer here in the WA….Columbia Winery makes one for under $10 that is great!

    My white wine NEW fave is,,,,,Quady Electra…..my old faves are any well made Muscato D’Asti!

    I called my sister earlier today…and on GV’s recommendation…I called my Mother and Father(just because)….You are right bro…Family is Boss!

  • Mr.Ambassador

    Hey GV,

    I’ve been an Ash Hollow fan since I originally tasted the 2002 Walla Walla Valley Estate Blend and had to run out and purchase a case! Thanks for bringing out their Gewurtzraminer but please fix the link to reflect that this is a Washington (Columbia Valley) wine and not from Oregon!

    I’ve been experiencing a renewed appreciation for white wines recently and have found myself quaffing more whites than reds (for the first time I can remember). Recently I’ve ben enjoying a couple of Oregon whites: 2005 Foris Rogue Valley “Fly Over White” (blend of Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay and Pinot Gris) and the Sokol Blosser “Evolution” (blend of many white varietals). I’m favoring the “food wines” with a nice, crisp finish.

    I’m waiting to make lunch for the folks today and I’ll be certain to provide a GV inspired “Hallmark moment.”

    Thanks again
