    FYI: ‘St. Laurent wine shares a silky Pinot Noir texture, what Janis Robinson calls “juicy fruit and relatively low natural grape tannins”. The debate has raged for years about whether St. Lauren and Pinot Noir are related. Through genetic studies done in Austria, it is now known that, like Chardonnay, Gamay, Auxerrois, Aligote, Melon and a host of other varieties, St. Laurent IS the offspring of Pinot Noir and a reviled white variety call Gouais in France or Heunisch in the German speaking countries. (Zweigelt, a variety finding favour in Niagara, was the result of a 1922 cross of St. Laurent and Blaufrankisch or Limberger)’

  • The other weekend I brought an Austrian Zweigelt (the ’05 Nigl Blauer Zweigelt) along with me on a trip to Santa Barbara County wine country. While my companions were getting drunk off the Pinots, Syrahs and Chards from the area, I was tasting & spitting. At the end of the day we dined at the Hitching Post II in Buellton, and I committed the ultimate sacrilege of opening the Zweigelt for dinner, screwcap & all, instead of a local wine… it went great with dinner, and blew a few minds!

    Great episode… QOTD: have you ever had a vin jaune from the Jura, and if so, what would you most want to pair it with?

  • I wish I had half of your energy. I’m exhausted watching you so a bespeckled Sir Gary may have left me sleeping. Good show.

    I have always been partial to Austria (love Vienna, Salzburg and, of course, Mozart) and now I have some reds to try.

    My QOTD: What should you name the Vayniac Cab and with whom and where will you open the first bottle? I guess that’s the trifecta QOTD.

    Cheers!

    Valiant and intrepid effort at plunging into the minefield of German pronunciation. The DNA is working overtime. The wines sound very worth exploring. Hard to find here, but I’ll keep my eyes open.

    This was a fantastic show, Gary! There is rarely an episode that I am disappointed in, and I often give shows a thumbs up… but this was really seriously passionate. To boot, I think there is great potential for more shows like this!

    QOTD: If tomorrow never comes, what and with whom would you drink?
