Kissed my co-worker, but that is a completely different story, hahaha. Great show, keep it up, now I want to try a washington traminer (partial spelling?)

Qotd- I was just drinking an Evesham Wood Pinot Gris – Gewurtz blend while watching the show. Good with the cheese! I am anxious to try a J Christopher unoaked, no malo, Chardonnay from Oregon that I just bought today. He is so cutting edge. His $17 Oregon Pinot called Zoot Allures is kicking up quite a storm out here in the Oregon Territory.

Emailed my daughter to finalize plans to visit this weekend. She said she is an alternate delegate for King Co. WA for Obama! Dad is a staunch GOP guy, but I am still so proud of her.

I sent my girlfriend two txt msgs telling her i loved her before i watched the show… i was petting my cat too… that counts right?

Demand of the day: Hugged mom…
QOTD: My new favorite White wine is a Beringer 2006 White Zinfandel California!
Great show GV!!! Family is awesome!

Viognier, thanks. My son, two hours late last night but still my little sweetheart.

You are so Right Gary. Family is the most important thing. I called a couple of friends who just had new borns just to check in and say I was thinking about them.

QOTD: Favorite type of white wine is Gewurztraminer

I think one of my favorites is the 2006 Josef Jamek Ried Klaus Riesling. 2006 was an etxraordinary year for Riesling in the Wachau, Austria.

Just emailed my husband to say “I Love You” and I will kiss him as soon as I get home from work.

Gary, thanks so much for using the Gosh word instead of a “bad word”…

Teresa

QOTD: Loved the late-harvest Australian riesling GV recommended a while back.

My parents introduced me to wine when I was a teen in the 1960s. I’ve helped educate my own kids about wine, and now that there’s a grandchildren, the tradition will continue. We are bound within the love we share at our tables.

Gary each night my wife and i sit down and watch the show and try a new wine ..
And i never let a day go by without saying ”i love you” to my wife and kids ..Family is the most important……..

Gary’s orange box cutters make the world go round…

i had a sylvaner that rocked a while back but haven’t been able to find it in many places. i’m usually a gewurz fan.

you are right, gary. even a crazy family is important.

DOTD: I went and snuck a kiss on my boyfriend (we work together so i had to be sneaky), and I sent my brothers and my parents valentine’s cards telling them i miss them and love them.

QOTD: my fave new white wine is Albarino. I’ve had it twice recently out at restaurants and I loved it both times!

Great show today Gary!

QOTD: New favorite white: Albarino. Really enjoyed the Agnusdei from the Rias Baixas region of Spain.

Come on Vayner-beast, break down and chill those whites! Sometimes enjoying wine isn’t about ‘finding flaws,’ it’s about a great experience! You are definitely heat sensitive, but the Alban Roussanne is too delicous to not cool off a bit in the fridge…Roussanne, in general, doesn’t have enough acidity to be served warm anyway- chill ’em out or they’ll be hot and flabby, give your big whites some help brothah!

DOTD: I will hug my parents and say hello to my little niece. Hug my friends, send an e-kiss to my distant girlfriend…

QOTD: Haven’t had any whites in a while.

Totally agree with your philosophy. Is Pinot Grigio (and not Pinot Gris) the new Chardonnay? Viognier and Marsanne are of course aromatic Cotes du Rhone varietals. For lemony flavor to go with fish try Picpoul de Pinet. A wine that I recently bought that was recommended by Calvert-Woodley called Chateau Calabre from Montravel, France. It is a blend of 60% Sauvignon Blanc and 40% Semillon. It had a balanced profile and nicely layered flavors. The bottle had a stamped phrase at the base of the shoulder “In Monte Revelationem” with a little castle over it. It is imported by Robert Kacher Selections of Washington, DC.

GV, will be calling mom later on today. Will kiss the kids and wife when I get home.

Embrace white wine? I’m making mushroom and asparagus risotto this weekend, I’ll embrace white wine then!! Woohoo!!

QOTD- fav white wine right now is white Chateauneuf du Pape, I will now go find somebody to hug.

DOTD: Sent a hug to my sister on the other side of the pond.
QOTD: at the moment, I’m drinking a wine from Yamanashi Pref in Japan that I will admit to have bought on a bit of a dare. It’s not bad. They use a Japanese grape called koshu.

Kissed and Hugged By Wife and Step-Children, and My Cat..and my picture of Gary Vaynerchuck….(Kidding I don’t roll that way..not that there’s anything wrong with that…LOL) New favorite white varietal…I have 2 Albarino and Torrontes… Old Favorite as a bonus answer…still can’t beat Oregon Pinot Gris and sad that in order to compete with Cali-town they had to beg and overturn the 1977 regulations of only being able to call the grape Pinot Gris in Oregon and now are allowed to label as Pinot Grigio. Don’t sell out Oregon, Don’t reduce yourselves to California Labeling tactics…Pinot Gris. Love Erath Pinot Gris and A-Z Wineworks Pinot Gris..88 and 89 points Wine Spectator 2004 Vintage

My favorite whites are Alsatian Rieslings. Recently I hugged my parents.

every morning..my wife and kids get the kiss and bear hug. It’s funny, my boys are now getting to the age they think it’s not cool but, I still get them and they end up smiling a bit after ward just the same.

Yay for the Ash Hollow gewurz! Delicious stuff, I’m happy to say from experience. Washington state still is — inexplicably — the best-kept secret in the wine world. Fortunately, there are a couple of good online sources for the hard-to-find Washington wines that Wine Library may not carry.
