QOTD: What winery/chateau do you most want to visit?

QOTD: Why San Fran for the 500th episode?

QOTD: “many of you may not have had a red Austrian red wine before, but have you had a red Austrian white wine? :P”

Definitely gonna try these two – you piqued my interest.

I am hijacking the question of the day just because I want to know the answer to this one. My question of the day would be What wine goes well with super strong and tasty Indian food. I have recently started riding the Indian wave and can’t get enough tasty Indian food!!!

Really engaging show Gary – thanks

You are very lucky in the US with the ride range of wine available – alongside a healthy local wine industry you also seem to have a great selection of imports. As I am in Hong Kong now the duty on wine imports has been dropped. Drinking international wines somewhere like Australia is a very difficult thing to do as high taxes on imports mean selection and value just aren’t there and thus the vast majority of the time only local wine is drunk (as it is in France, Italy, Germany, Japan, South Africa etc).

As an outsider looking in the only thing that really seems to infringe on a full blown enjoyment of wine in the US is the outdated attitude towards drinking. The rest of the world looks on in wander that in many parts of the US you can drive a car at 16, yet not drink to 21 – the whole societal attitude towards alcohol seems to be one of fear and terror. In most parts of the world people are drinking legally at 18, but drinking social with their parents and family well before this. A society were people grow up experiencing and enjoying alcohol is one where enjoying a glass of wine or a beer is the norm and the impression I get reading the comments here is that many, many people haven’t grown up with this kind of familiarity to alcohol.

What’s your favourite breed of dog? And why do you think that, with the odd notable exception, that vlogging hasn’t really taken off?

QOTD: What is the cheapest wine you ever drank and what did you think about it at the time?

Little over the top, Gary! so much passion, so little time to share, ugh? smile.

Good show, again. These wines sound wonderful, just checked online, none locally. dang. There are times, Gary, I almost…. almost wished I lived in New Jersey. AHHH. Did I say that?

QOTD – If your PAL could be characterized as an action figure past or present, who would it be, and why?

Cool, GV getting into Açaí (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Açaí).

You can get in a few forms. But in Rio it’s usually like a sorbet. Sometimes you’ll get a little bit of granola with it.

GV,

Here is my question of the day:

When snow melts, where does the ‘white’ go?

Regards,

Jim Cantore

I spent my vacation in Germany and Austria in May and was surprised how many red wines they both have. Even Germany had a number of good reds from the Mosel and Rhein areas that I was not aware of. Thanks for introducing us to more of these wines. QOTD – Why haven’t you tried an Austrian red wine yet or again?

G- good show….very informative….thank you

Great job pronouncing those names of the grapes.
Quite the tongue twisters.

QOTD; If you where to go away to a place of isolation for 1 year, what would be the last thing you would say and to who?

This was a great episode. New flavors, new wines and great content.

QOTD: What was your most memorable bottle of wine and who did you consume it with?

Austrian reds, never had one, need to find some. Great show GV!

Q-Who are you voting for in November?

How many of you tryed making your own wine?

Super duper Show! QOTD: What interesting thing did you do today?

GV – Fun stuff. QOTD – What’s the cheapest bottle of wine you’ve bought and the most expensive.
