QOTD: Never had it.

QOTD: Never had it.

Wow you’re spoiled. 😛

QotD: Yes I enjoy Sauternes but haven’t had more than a glass or two.

So I guess we need to play the part of GV today. There are too many things to be happy about to be bummed. Like the fact that your “job” allows you to try $100 bottles of wine and $20 a pound cheese and talk about it! 🙂

Keep up the awesome work, looking forward to many years to come, cya at Bern’s. And oh yeah Go Dolphins…..

Never had a Sauternes yet, I’m well overdue to try one. I love other dessert wines, late harvest vignoles, rieslings, etc… Great stuff. Good show.

Love Sauterne!!! You nailed two important factors that I Educate My Customers about G.V. 1- Foie Gras and Sauterne…a MUST Pairing…the Ultimate Pairing with Foie Gras 2- Blue Veined Cheeses such as The Roquefort, perfect pairing with Sauterne or Late Harvest Wines etc. BTW, you have to have Justin get you some CABRALES from Spain…stronger than Kryptonite and the Most Powerful Blue Veined Cheese on The Planet!!! That is also Perfect With Sautherne.

One Pet Peeve of mine as a Sommelier…is what I call the “D” Word that I never use when speaking about Ice Wines, Late Harvest, Fortified Wines, or Botrytised Wines like Sauterne “D”essert Wines. I prefer the term that was on your Chalkboard…. “Sweet Wines” or “Nectars”. As you can see…you reccommended Foies Gras as the Ultimate Pairing with Sauterne… Not alot of people have Foies Gras as a Dessert… Point Made?? Love Ya GV.. don’t feel bad about the E-Mails… You know those LURKERS!!!

I’ve been a lurker for too long, after hundreds of great shows that have turned me on to all kinds of wine I never knew about – this is my first post!
I love Sauternes – just gave one for a gift a few days ago! From show # 406 – going to buy a Cab Franc fom the Loire Valley today, going to look at Bandols, and have been looking for St. Albain (sp?).
Thanks for all you do!

never had one yet but look foward to trying one.

Hello Gary, never had a Sautern. I would love to see one with free shipping, and not too expensive. We’re having a tasting in my house with the anniversary pack on the weekend after you taste them…

Cheers

Robert

I love sauternes. Have some Reiussec and La Tour Blanche stored away. Although, love the Michele Chiarlo Moscato d’Asti Nivole coming in around 12 bones for half bottle. Perfect size to share for small group.

Dude, you ARE being silly with this down mood thing. You know better than to blame the customers.

QOTD: Completely, absolutely, totally. Perhaps the greatest wine I’ve ever had was a d’Yquem.

Dear Gary,
I stumbled across your show about two months ago and have been a avid follower since. I have told my friends about the show. As I started to watch the show today you appeared somewhat less enthuseastic, mentioning that you were dissappointed you did not get the 1,000 comments you had hoped to get. I may fall in the catagory you identify as lurkers, although I don’t feel like a lurker. There may be many reasons one does not respond but does apperciate and enjoy your show. 1) techniquely challenged 2)age, I am probley near your father’s age, but I don’t look as good 3) it appears to be a young persons format and I enjoy the youth. I do enjoy your show, although I live in Oklahoma and many of the wine’s you review are not available in Oklahoma. Norman

I take partial blame for the low-key show. I was one of the ones who prodded Gary to do a show…on Twitter and Facebook.

QOTD: Haven’t had one. I do like dessert wines like Muscats and ice wines, though.

GV, don’t hang your hat on yesterday. You keep bringing it, bring it sad, bring it mad, bring it in your thunder-awesomeness…we’ll still be watching GV cause we love wine and we love what you teach us.

QOTD Never had the noble rot from France, but I’m going shopping after work GV, and I’m buying one cause you told me to (well you didn’t tell me, but you sure did encourage me to try it!) See Gary…it’s not all bad. Chin up, Super-man.

Sauternes are great, but obviously quite pricey. I but them in the half bottle size.

Never had a Sauternes. Honestly, I’ve never had a dessert wine that I’ve absolutely loved. My pal hasn’t come around to them yet. I do taste dessert wines on a regular basis just to see if I find one that I might like.

Is sauterne like gewurtzaminer or muscat? I don’t care for the super syrup like wines. Perhaps I’ll try one at a restaurant.

Hope you’re feeling better today bro. I was going to buy the anniversary pack but you’re sold out. 🙁

QOTD: I love Sauternes. They’ve rocked my world a few times. Need to buy some more.

QOTD: I have had one, thanks to your suggestion some months ago and it was very nice. BTW-they seem to last a long time after opening as well, so a 1/2 bottle is good and you can sip on it for days:)

Sauternes…I’m not sure I would like it, but you got to give it a shot right? Sweet typically isn’t my thing but the pallet changes so maybe I will have to seek some out this weekend.

QOTD: I’ve never had a Sauternes (or any dessert wine for that matter). They’re usually a little too pricey for me, but hopefully one day I will have the chance to give them a try.

I think I’m gonna cry.

QOTD: I think my bro made me try one ages ago, but back then I wasn’t “into” wine so I can’t be sure. I do remember the syrupy sweetness and that makes me think it was a Sauterne. I like that they are available in “half-bottle” amts, more likely to seek one out that way.

Dude – I CANNOT handle you being so low-key (okay, and maybe a little BRATTY) One of the things that makes your show in my eyes is your over the top energy. I get it though, we can’t always be 1,000%, but don’t let your ‘tude be because the lurkers don’t comment!!!!
