It’s a Sauternes and a Barsac. Even if it’s technically from Barsac, you can call it Sauternes (Check the label).

    QOTD: I believe I had a sauterne at a wine tasting class in 1994.

    I couldn’t watch the bouncy video. I scrolled down and listened to the audio. I didn’t want to miss a show.

    Hrmmm, I *know* I’ve had a sauternes, but I can’t say I’ve even the slightest recollection what I’ve thought of them, which means I wasn’t super-impressed — certainly, at least, not nearly so much so as you are with the Doisy! I’ll give it another go, though, so next time I’m downtown (tomorrow, probably) it’s Israel and sauternes!

    Nice, on-site tastings from the book are fantastic. The passion really came through today… and I really like the quick explanation on why we should trust our own palates’, even on a clearly fantastic desert wine.

    QOTD: Haven’t had one, but I just ordered one the other day!!! I don’t roll deep enough (yet!)

    Favorite Sauternes is 2001 Château de Fargues. Great episode Gary, but go to some QPRs from Rousillon or Saumur. I am more convinced than ever that there is great wine from other regions that gives just as much pleasure.

  • Gary, I really like the idea of you tasting the wines in your book live. Great experience for those of us who have the book.

    Hi Gary! Another great show! I was wondering how your top wines were in your book. Great show!

    QOTD: Hm, I’ve bought people Sauternes for presents actually, but never tried one myself. Will have to do that soon!

    QOTD – Still havent had a Sauternes – mostly because the cloying sweetness on many desert wines has turned me off to the catagory – maybe I just need to have a good one to turn that corner

  • KVolk

    QOTD: That would be the first one I will have in the near future….

  • Big baller today Gary and I LIKE it!

    QOTD: I don’t know which brands, but every Sauternes I’ve tried (and there have been at least 5), I’ve loved, which is very different for me, since I don’t usually like the taste of wine. I wish I could be specific, but I guess I’m working in vaugeries today.

    Well, I can say I knew you when… You are getting out of touch with the daily wine drinkers. Still entertaining, but like a window at the mall – no one actually buys or dresses that way. I guess that is normal, the goal is to become a super star and not stay between “internet wonder” and “over the top has been”. Both wines unavailable?? How am I relating to this?

    I have watched 400 or more shows, so don’t think me a snob, newbie, or red neck. smile.
    No one has done what you have – you should be proud. What is next?

    Hmm. is this transferable?

    I will continue to watch and post. Love the Cabs under $20 type shows. Love the French wines to reach to occasionally. You are reaching star-dom and your peebs can’t buy most of your wines tasted. Well, some. I could, but won’t.

    QOTD: Sauternes, yes. I’ve had a few. they are good.

    thanks for the good show.

    QOTD:I’ve had a few, but don’t recall the names. I purchased the Vedrines from this year’s CAS and one or two from previous sales, but gave them as gifts. Not a big fan of dessert wines. Have an Austrian Kracher in the cellar and do enjoy an occasional Port.

    Haven’t had enough Suternes to make a decision. Good Episode, good to be able to watch for a change. 11 Month Old + Pregnant wife = NO free time!!

    I love this show. This is classic GV. Thanks Gary.

    QOTD: I have a tough time with really sweet things. I haven’t had a Sauterne, but I’ll try and seek this one out.

    I sprung for 2 bottles of the 05 Cos. I’ve been good at not getting 1 or 2 more and have instead been seeking out the 04s. You’re not helping matters Gary. 🙂
