Must admit, Chenin Blanc ignorance (virgin). I’m going for it now though. Good energy today GV. Thanks for that!

dont lock me out, never had a c.b.

QOTD: Actually, I was having a Chenin Blanc (’07 fairview from South Africa) when I began watching tonight’s show.

On another note, I bought 6 copies of your book and being an internetz guru, nothing beats the printed word. ANYBODY can write a blog or post a message but who actually gets published?

Two out-of-the-box observations: 1) our gravatars are gone, why? and 2) Mott: when Gary hands you a wine glass, please pick it up by the stem instead of the bowl. 🙂

Cheers!

QOTD-Pine Ridge at some crappy thai food place. It wasnt bad and worked good with the food.

Nice show. What is the highest score you have given a wine?

Gary, QOTD: has to be from the Loire- Vouvray during my WSET advance certification training. Thank God this varietal was not on the tasting exams as I have found it to very elusive to pin point as you have shown in the wines today. I plan to get more expeience with this grape. It makes very interesting wines. Thanks for the covering it in the show

Loves me some CB. However, I find myself always going back to Vouvray or Savennieres to get my fix of bigger, more interesting & complex ones. Pricier, yes. Worth it, most of the time. Great outdoor BBQ wines.

QOTD: Oddly enough, my last CB was the Dry Creek. I think you went 1 or 2 pts higher than me. Good in the mouth, bleh on the finish. If there was one.

Again…kudos and congrats on the book.

QOTD: I’ve had the 2005 Dry Creek. The last Chenin Blanc I had was a Ken Forrester’s (also South African), good stuff.

QOTD: Havn’t had any yet. I do have a couple downstairs…

You should do a show on scotch!

Here is my get to watch for free comments

QOTD: None, Nada, Never….had no reason to but maybe I will now.

Gary who is the peoples walking by you wave etc to….wondering.

Great show, makes me want to go out and try Chenin Blanc again.

QOTD: Last Chenin Blanc I had? I honestly can’t remember. I do remember that it was cheap, and it was nassssty.

First! No? Oh.

I’ve had the Touraine!

Sadly, I have never had a Chenin Blanc, but I am thinking about going and buying one today. I am all about trying new wines.

Late last summer, my boss opened what I think was a Washington State “Kiona” (2005?). Big pear taste, and very crisp…glad summer is coming to Ohio soon..time to track down some of the bargains today!

You are a horse of many colors!!! Can change at any time-for any situation!!

QOTD: I just had one at a big tasting but did not enjoy it so I blocked it out of my mind, but I know if I ever saw it again I would remember not to buy it. Not a big fan of that grape. Reminds me of my early wine experience with alot of spritzer added!

Whew! Glad I got in to see Thurs ep!! 🙂

Good episode!

Actually a little embarrassed to say I liked the CA chenin blanc, columbard, chablis during the 70’s, but got away from them when I discovered riesling. I guess it’s time to go back in time.

QOTD: Had a wonderful one from Vouvray as made by Domaine des Aubrisies, the best one’s I’ve had have all been from that area of France. I’ll have to try more from elsewhere!

The last chenin blanc I had was a dry 2000 California (Monterey) Chenin Blanc

QOTD: I am not a huge white wine person so I have never had a Chinon Blanc BUT!!! after watching you taste them I will try one!

QOTD: Man Vinters, South Africa, Chenin Blanc. Didn’t like it.

Sorry I didn’t pay attention to my spelling on my last comment.

QOTD: A 1992 Moulin Touchais Coteaux du Layon (dessert wine) and Les Genêts from Damien Laureau Savennières 2004. Awesome stuff! Chenin Blanc is totally underappreciated!

QOTD: This was the first wiine I actually remember tasting. On my last day at college in San Luis Obispo, we toured all of the wineries in the county, all Four of them. Yes, there were only four wineries in SLO in 1980 that I remember. Have not had CB since then.
