    QOTD: depending on what I can get my hands on … but a Corton-Charlemagne would be nice. But it will probably be the newly released 2005 Joseph Roty Bougogne Blanc, since it has almost 90% pinot blanc in it this year…WHAT NOT CHARD? I know, he’s kind of a rebel that way. I’m super curious.

    GARVEE: QOTD for you: What do YOU think of Joseph Roty’s wines? and which are your favorites?

    Great show GV. I have to say that I am not a bif fan of Chards, as the affordable ones always tend to be disappointing!! I’ll give a try the Chablis Domaine Millet 2005 (available in Quebec’s SAQ at 22$)!
    Cheers

    Great show loved it but hey no changing scores in the middle of the show… go with your first instinct…

    QOTD – in Hawaii finding white burgandy is like finding diamonds on diamond head. very rare but I will look around.

    QOTD: I don’t drink burgundy, burgundy sucks……Oh, wait, I’ve been screaming for more burgundy shows :). My next white burg will probably be the Amiot St Aubin I have, or could be any of a number of white burgs, as I loves me white and red burgs

    Gary,

    Great show, it was nice to see you Bring the Thunder and bring a little of the OAK MONSTER.

    QOTD – Denis Dutron Macon 2004 will be the very next white burgundy for me and only 13 US dollars.

    Great Show!!!

    QOTD: My next white burgandy will probably be a Louis Jadot wine due to the fact that they are a bit more affordable and more widely available.

  • Gary (and mostly Mott)- thanks for the B-day shout out. I missed the QOTD because I was so stoked about the B-day shout out.

    QOTD (after watching again): I haven’t had a white burg, not rolling deep enough but I am looking for the right “play” in that market.

  • Just had a few white burgundis…it’s not killing me. At least, you get a lot of oak for the money 😉

  • good golly I wish I had enough dough to buy those last two wines. I’m sitting here drinking a Rosso Pinot Grigio (? Coppola stuff), which is palatable for $8/bottle, but… C’mon! I want the good shit!

    QOTD: Shocked to realize that I don’t have a bottle of white burgandy lined up.
    I did order a copy of your book. If you give me the address of your third grade teacher I’ll send her one too.

    QOTD: I have to admit I have not had a white burgundy. Years of drinking mostly reds is making me feel like I have been missing out, especially after these last 2 episodes. Although I did pick up a South African Chenin Blanc today.

    I really like it when you let Mott taste, give us viewers a little extra opinion. Love the white Burgundy.

    QOTD: gotta go with a different vintage of a producer I love, Domaine Veronique De Macmahon. Bio-wine, great wine, will be interesting to see if an older vintage has the same peanuttiness that the 04 and 05 had.

  • Next white bourgogne? Not sure. I recently got a bottle of the ’05 Louis Jadot Domaine du Duc de Magenta (the Morgeot Clos de la Chapelle vineyard) Chassagne-Montrachet, but I think I won’t open that one for a few years… So the next one will probably be some nice chablis on the patio outside with some food. Or a bourgogne aligoté – I got a 2000 bottle that’s way overdue.

    Huh for some reaons, the rest of my post got cut off.
    Anyway, as I was saying, I’ve had excellent luck with under $20 bottles.
    A favorite is the Saint Bris from Domaine Goisot. Refreshing minerality with luscious pear top notes in a medium bodied wine. Check it out. It’s about $15 at pJs.
