The year the Rockets beat the Knicks was the only championship Houston had in any sport. That was a good year to live in Houston. Starks was overrated anyways.

Excellent – I visited Texas wine country about a decade ago.
Hope it’s improved since then!

Texas?

Classic rinse there at the end, lovin’ it! I am really glad that you had a viognier on the show today. I had my first viognier last night and it was great. Light citrus taste dominated mostly by pineapple though, mmmm. I’m a big red wine drinker, but the whites have definitely grown on me since I’ve been watching WLTV.

QOTD: To be completely honest, I don’t know that I’ve tried any U.S. wines that weren’t from those areas. I’m really glad you asked this question because now I am going to go out and get a few wines outside the “norm”. Thanks!

Great show, keep bringing the thunder!

This is the earliest I’ve ever posted, and I’m pretty excited about it!

First, I find it hard to believe that Sasha would allow you to review wines from George W’s home state 🙂 He obviously has lost all control of you.

QOTD: Never have had one other than a Catawba Pink from Ohio in my youth and a San Sebastion from Florida that was a joke.

QOTD: I visited the Fredericksburg area which is where the Becker vineyards is and we found a place called Sister Creek that put out a pretty good old worldish Cab and Merlot. Not sure if they are my favorite but they were very nice for sure. The gentleman at the vineyard for our tour and tasting was super nice too.

Texas…makes wine? Good show GV…not sure if Texas brings the thunder but it was something different. QOTD: I don’t think I ever had a wine made from any other state than the ones you mentioned.

None, with no interest in trying any.

No realy WTF Texas? Where in Texas do you get any kind of day night temperature swing that would make you think you could grow wine grapes ?
And the humidity, yuck !
QOTD …?

I live in Dallas now. I moved here a year ago from San Francisco. I am originally from Michigan. I used to visit wineries in Napa and Sonoma quite often. Obviously, California can make great wine. I went to a bunch of wineries in Michigan. I think that Michigan can make killer Riesling. Right next to Detroit, in Canada, is Lake Erie North Shore. They can make a terribly seductive Pinot Noir and Cab Franc. Missouri wineries also impressed me.

I have now been to at least ten wineries in Texas. I can’t believe the poor quality of the wine here. In Texas, the bud break in March and the grapes are harvested in July. Texas provides the warm days that grapes love, but the nights are also hot. Michigan and California have cool nights. In Texas, it will be 97 during the day in July, but only 75 at night. By contrast, when the grapes are harvested in September in Michigan, the nights are in the 50s. The grapes don’t have a chance to build up the acid they need.

Texas makes very little attempt to plant to the land. Rather than trying to grow what grows well here, they think, “I like Cabernet. I think I’ll grow Cabernet.” And their Cabernet winds up tasting like the Claret Gary just tasted. They even grow Riesling here. Blech!

Many Viogniers from Virginia. I have some good wines from Llano Estacado and La Diosa from Lubbock area. Still trying to like Texas hill country wines but many have been thin. I think they are just going for the wrong varietals. I have had Tempranillo from West Texas that was great so it can be done. More Spanish and Portuguese varietals will help. Still didn’t get an answer of how to leave a review on I-tunes since that is the current contest. I-Tunes don’t really have any help on that.

I can’t believe I’m not at the Philly book signing!! I’m with the kids. They are taking their piano lessons.

I’ve never had a wine from Texas.

Loved the show. Glad to see you do Texas wines. There are very few great wineries in Texas but one of the ones close to where I live (Houston) actually grows grapes that thrive in Humidity (blanc du bois and the Spanish Red). He imports all the rest of his grapes but grows those two types. I for one am glad to see the texas wine industry growing…it’s a challange and I really wonder where it will head.
