The Table wobble was driving me nuts, I don’t know how Gary put of with it. QOTD: Next time I run across one I am going to try it! Awesome Show!

I can’t wait to see Gary’s reaction to the Jets + Brett Favre! I’m even more pumped to watch the next thunder show.

Great show.
I just purchased both some of the ’05 as well as some of the ’07 futures of vedrines (even though the dollar will probably have rebounded by the time it comes to market). I also bought some of the ’07 Doisy Daene since it was the year my daughter was born and it will be fun to have some of these for her 21st birthday, graduation, wedding day, etc.

QOTD:
I actually had the best Sauternes of my life just last month after dinner at Cryus in Healdsburg: a glass of the 2002 d’Yquem. I don’t even have the words for it. I’ve had some great sauternes but never a d’yquem. Now I know what the big deal is: it has no peer.

I had a dessert wine from Cadillac as one of my wine flights with a meal once. Cadillac is a Bordeaux apellation so, though not technically a Sautern it was probably made with Botrysized Semillion as well. It was quite good not that I was at my peak wine judging prowess having not spit all my previous wine flights. No regrets for that.
Cadillac wines main image problem might be that they sound like something someone might drink after running out of 40’s. I usually go for the bourbon when that happens to me.
FYI the Marquis de Cadillac financed the French expedition that set up the strategic forts over-looking “the straights” (la Detroit in French) between the 2 great lakes and was later immortilised for this by having a gaudy car named for him. Ironic, since he was known to be fond of dressing in cargo pants, flip flops and a black Rush concert T-shirt…yes they have been around that long.

QOTD: I’ve only had Sauternes once at Xmas a few years ago that was just fantastic. I believe it was a Chateau Raymond Lafon 1996. It was really freaking good. But I’m ready to drink some more!

Favorite: Never had one.
What am I waiting for: oh, to turn 21, maybe.

’03 chateau lafaurie peyraguey…so far

qotd: I’m not so sure about the positive QPR on sauternes down here in PHX. You can only really find them in specialty stores and even then they’re 30-40 dollar half bottles. I’d like to try one though.

The 2003 Chateau Rieussec was really delicious. I hope I can find a bottle of the 2005 Doisy Vedrines here in Hawaii–doubtful though. That’s the bummer…no one can ship wines to this state!

QOTD. Well, my answer isn’t very original, but d’Yquem is my favorite. I have had it only a few times, at tastings, and it has always been amazing.

Not the very best, but the most amazing QPR, was 2005 Château des Graves du Tich, at $17/bottle.

QOTD – No joking around, the 1847 Ch. d’Yquem. A once-in-a-lifetime dinner held in Nashville for one of the USA’s most influential collectors. Black as tar and the viscosity of old motor oil. A liquified version of the greatest creme brulee you can imagine. Delicious.

I expect you in full Brett Favre gear next episode!

QOTD: 1) Never had one.
2) I was afraid!

Great Episode, Loved the book once again!

QOTD Not a huge dessert and sauterene drinker, but have a some decent one of late only thing is dont remember what they were

Les exposition de tonnerre! Bravo!

QOTD – not had one, just never got round to it. It’ll happpen eventually.

qotd – 1947 d’Yquem on my dads 60th bday (his birth year wine). absolutely delicious – like sweet apricots and motor oil lol

I had a 1955 Suideraut in december of ’06 that was still kicking like a five year old! It was wicked awesome!

As far as dessert wines go, let’s not forget the great icewines of Germany and Canada, the beernauslese Rieslings of Germany, and the Baume d’vines of France, and the Vino Santo of Italy (sorry about the spelling). that doesn’t touch al the great red dessert wine or sherry which is it’s own class.

THE INTERNET’S MOST PASSIONATE JETS FAN…Gary V! Week two…wait for it, we won’t need a secondary because Favre won’t have three seconds to sling one up with Seymour and Warren bearing down from the outside and MAYO smashing though the middle! The Pats a) are awful human beings and b) get the job done!

QOTD: Never have tried them, but hopefully will soon!

Another great episode!!!

QOTD – I have only had a few Sauternes and do not remember the names. I do have a bottle of 1998 Chateau LaTour Blanche that I brought back from Bordeaux last year. Hopefully it will be wonderful.

I have never had any Saurternes but I have had other dessert wines. I just bought a half bottle of the 05 Doisy Vedrines and can’t wait to try it. Unfortunately they didn’t have any full bottles.

I have had only a few Sauternes and I don’t remember the names.
I do have the 2001 Riussec (sp?) in my cellar.

I am a big fan of Cos D’Estournel. I have has the 1989 and it is spectacular. As you mentioned, it as become pricey.

I have had several dessert wines although I prefer a great port for after dinner. As far as Sauternes goes, La Tour Blanche and Chateau Rieussec. Although for $10 bones anyone at my house that tastes this for after dinner just raves about it….Michele Chiarlo Moscato d’Asti Nivole

QOTD: I have not had any Sauternes yet…………………………………………………………………………………………………..
