QOTD: YES! That is my goal this year to expand my pal!!
Tasted a wonderful Merlot/Cab Franc the other night believe it or not and I’m not a big Merlot fan at all! Also an Albarino and a dry Reisling from Isreal. At least it was Kosher!!

Last wine I had from NY was an Eiswein Wine from Nigara Falls area – long time ago though haven’t ventured in that territory in awhile.

Liked the shirt all the way tucked in…half and half makes you look like you don’t give a damn….old fashioned I guess!!

I have NEVER had a NY wine! This edpisode might be a decent place to start but I don’t drink a ton of white at this time of the year (and being from Seattle, have a lot of choices locally).

I’ve been expanding my pallet as much as I can. I’m heading like 40 miles this weekend to try a Cote Rotie as part of a tasting just because I’ve wanted to try one for so long and I’ve not been able to (a true Cote Rotie, not an Australian Shiraz/Viognier blend). I’ve also tried Bonarda, Semillion, and Barbera d’Asti recently.

NY wines hard to find in VEGAS!

There is nothing wrong with a pre-emptive rinsy rinse. And yews I have been trying wines that were normally outside my box.

I always would prefer Californian taste of wine 🙂

Have you tried Blue Newt Wine from the Red Newt Cellars? It’s interesting on the nose, sweet and simple. I drank it when I was in Schenectady, NY. Here’s a link to purchase it: http://tinyurl.com/28alzx Their main site is http://rednewt.com/web/

Enjoy. Keep up the good episodes!

Hi Gary,

You probably noticed that I haven’t been leaving comments as much but my grandmother recently passed away so I had to see to that. I haven’t had any New York wines as I am not from N.Y. but next time I will check for some at the S.A.Q., I am not sure we have them in Montreal but it’s good that you brought to our attention wines that go well with thai and or spicy food as our generation seems to be into that these days, keep it up ! 🙂

QOTD #1: Yes I have been making a weekly effort to expand my palate. I tried a Sicilian white last night- blend of Insolia and Chard. I have been tring to get a little more info on Insolia (sometimes spelled Inzolia) but haven’t had much luck. Any info from you?

QOTD #2: I visited several Finger Lakes wineries on our annual NC reunion trip in 2003. I had a wine that was a life changer (maybe a little delayed) Dr. Konstantin Frank’s Rkatsiteli. It was like lemon meets strawberry starburst explosion with a finish that seriously lasted >5 minutes! Alas,
I haven’t had a NY state wine since that experience, gotta break that streak!

QOTD: Always expanding and trying new things! In fact, this weekend we had a Georgian wine for the very first time. Quite good — N.V. Kindzmarauli JSC Alazanis Valley Kindzmarauli.

QOTD#2: I don’t think I’ve ever had a NY wine. I’d love to try one and have been keeping my eyes open for Finger Lake area wines, but so far no luck out here on the west coast. 🙁

I’ve expanded my pallette lately by trying my first Alsace Gewurtz. It was pretty good! I am planning on trying more.

QOTD: I had a Dolce Bianco from a NY Finger Lake Winery and it was really good; Nice pinapple undertones!

Don’t remember ever having any wines from New York State.

QOTD1: Ya got me explorin’ da Old World Wines of France (Bordeaux,
Burgundy, Provence, Languedoc, etc.) again.

QOTD2: Had one, maybe two, NY wines about a Gazillion (+/- a decade)
years ago……….Dat Gewurtz sounded pretty good…………..

Great episode!!!

QOTD 2: I love Casa Larga Vineyards Wine. They had an ice wine that’d blow your mind. I went to school at the Rochester Institute of Technology and they were down the road.

GV,
We have a cottage in Western NY around Chautauqua Lake. I have always wanted to try a good wine from the region, but did not know which one to try. I now know I have to try the Gewurz. Thanks!

Yes, I’m on a mission to expand my pallet. Thank you Gary for often pointing out wines I’ve never heard from. I recently went on a white wine kick. I started out just wanting to drink something lighter, but after awhile I had a hard time going back to reds. On this same note, I was very surprised to see how many people hadn’t tried Pinot Noirs a few episodes back. I would’ve thought that would be in regular heavy rotation for almost everyone. Especially if you live in Washington or California.

Hey Gary, lay off the Mottman! As someone who shares that last name, I can confirm that we’ve heard “hey applesauce” more times than you’ve done shows.

Good show,

QOTD have never had a NY wine.

qotd: never had a ny wine

Gary,

Since you said no matter how long after the episode you read the posts, I’ll leave this one. I’ve had a number of NYS wines, going back as far as 1980. Have had Dr. Frank’s wines, Heron Hill – good whites, Bully Hill and others. Most recently I drank a Cab Franc from Anthony Road Winery in NYS. I had bought it at the Union Square Farmers Market in NYC several months ago, but popped it after watching your WLTV episode on CFs. Even from NYS, that CF had all the characteristics you talked about. NYS has come a long way since 1980 and is worth checking out.

QOTD: Sorry GV, never had a NY wine, though I have had some Northern PA wines, erie area. Nothing that has ever wowed me, but decent.

GV – Just got back from the Fingers so I’ve just had a bunch! Juliana and I go every year – and the whites are getting better, slowly. The reds still have a long way to go – but I was actually surprised by some Cab Franc this year (and haven’t in the past). Concentrated on Seneca Lake this year – with the standouts being Standing Stone, Red Newt and Atwater. Ice Wines were good as well.

Channing Daughters’ Cuvee Tropical is one of my favorite summer whites, especially with any spicy food.
