    Nice show, last NY wines – Bedell Merlot, 95 vintage I think. Very nice.

  • CuriousInStLouis

    Gary, you always make the Gewurztraminer sound so good!!

    QOTD 1: Had some of the Duboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau 2007. I found it better than the KJ Pinot but bland compared to a Chateau Lascombe that I had a few weeks ago. Had my first Sauterne. Stunning! Drank the whole 750 in about three days!

    QOTD 2: New York wines? Don’t recall any. Unless you count New York “Champagne”. LOL!

    QOTD: I actually had this Reisling a few months ago and I gave it an 89.
    The finger lake wines are actually good and this Reisling was better
    than I expected.

    Gary…too many Rieslings out there between the ones from Alsace, Australia, California and New York. So far the ones I have enjoyed most come from Alsace. It would be intersting to compare them side by side. QOTD#1- Wines from SW France…really good and all under $25! QOTD#2- Went to a wine shop in Greenwich Village over the holiday that only poured NY wines, tasted through many and unfortunatley enjoyed none.

    Last NY wine was a 2003 Cab Sauv from La Comtesse Therese, Long Island. At 25 bones (would that be b25 / 25b?) it’s a bit expensive, but the winemaker’s father is one of my philosophy professors in college, so I snagged it for free.

  • Dr T from N. Carolina

    Yeah! The first wine region I visited extensively (if decades ago). But no Catawba Pink? I don’t know if I’ve had any Finger Lakes wine since grad school, 20+ years ago

    QOTD — I intend to get to the century varietal mark this year — was at 85 three weeks ago. Up to 90, 10 more to try, so that’s expansion!

    Hey Gary – you must be reading my palate. I just finished two wines from Long Island. One was Potato Barn Rose which was not too good. The other was the Paumanok Vineyard 2001 Riesling. The Paumanok was really great. I think you’d like it too, as it had a nice funkiness to it.

    QODD1 – Trying new stuff on a regular basis. Actually been getting more into Spain recently.
    QOTD2 – Went to college in the Finger Lake region, so I have been to many of the wineries up there. Most recent I can remember was a Dr. Konstantin Frank Riesling that was not too bad.
