I’ve had a Chablis here and there; haven’t avoided them but I haven’t sought them out either.
QOTD: I just oppened the 2 Brothers wine last night. Very different and very good (and for a great cause)! Thanks for the tip on that one GV.

P.S. What about the green wrist bands, bro?

Good episode, great information, have not been a great fan of Chardonnay so far but always willing to learn more.

QOTD – My go to wine New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc’s, love the acidity and vibrance. Lately, learning red wine’s, did a comparison of California Pinot Noir (Castlerock) to California Cabernet Sauvingnon (Ambroise Jay Anatole), will do another, comparing French Pinot Noir (Louis Jadot) to California Cabernet Sauvignon (Penny Lane). Study hall was never this much fun.

Gary & Chris, FABULOUS episode!!! LOVE Chablis!!!! Also LOVE white CdP as well…………… 🙂

QOTD: actually lately we’ve been drinking beer and hard cider. Not that much wine. No particular reason, maybe cuz it’s fall. I did have some Bear’s Lair Cab last night. We’ll see what we end up drinking tonight. (I know I should have done the secret pack but it was a little too much for me alone and the people I know either can’t vote (not american) or don’t drink wine.)

GV, thanks for adding a bit of knowledge in with the Chablis. I never had one before and now it kindda gave me an idea of what to look for.

QOTD: I drink Merlot Riserva, Pignolo, and Refosco dal Penduncolo rosso from Friuli Colli Orientali in Italy. Also, some Amarone Grappa lately. Has anyone every had Amarone Grappa before?

Miss you too have not watched much lately. I’m drinking some Ridge wine 🙂 cheers

Gary, Some of us…………………………….NOW I am showing my age 🙁 …………..I am sure I know what YOU meant but….uh, well, some may have been thinking of another type of acid…………LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gary- I know some who were addicted to acid……………………………..sorry, WRONG acid!!! LOL!!!!!!

Great show, thanks

QOTD: Going to try to drink more whites.
Had an Albarino over the weekend that was
quite good.
Petite Syrah is always the “go to” wine.
Like the bold reds but trying to expand.

Good episode, Gary! I don’t think I’ve had Chablis in a long time, but I do recall it coming out of a massive jug!

I am drinking Diet Mountain Dew at the moment.

QOTD: Here is a link to the red that I am currently drinking: http://tv.winelibrary.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=421641#421641

Note to ev: being fairly new to this site I am not sure what its policy is with respect to posting off-topic remarks, even if they are wine-related. Like yourself I also receive the daily decanter.com news alerts (this was today’s lead article), but I would refrain from sending them here unless specifically related to the wine library episode in question.

supplemental answer to QOTD – as a belated celebratory toast to my daughter’s birthday we uncorked a 2004 Schloss Lieser Niederberg Helden Riesling Spatlese – I believe AP #5 (this estate bottled two 2004 Spatlesen from this vineyard). This wine opened up wonderfully after a few minutes in the glass – it perhaps ought to have been decanted. The proprietor Thomas Haag is the brother of Fritz Haag whose Brauneberg Juffer and Juffer-Sonnenuhr are wonderful and highly reputed. My wife and I agreed that yesterday’s wine was a worthy match for the family name.

Yo G & Mott, COOOOOOOOL Episode!!! Moooooochoo Thanx!! Grrreaaat Win
for “Our” JETS over the weekend!! Hopin’ they Run-the-Table!!!

QOTD: What have i been drinkin’ lately?? Anything & Everything….
Alsacian Gewurtztraminer…Calif Pinot Noir…Zinfandel…Chardonnay…
Auzzie Shiraz…Viognier & Viognier Blends…Sauternes…Bubbly…
Minervois…Languedoc…Bordeaux…Rose…Tokaji…BUUUUURRRRRRP… 🙂

QOTD: Lately it’s been a handful of random old vine zins… also stuff from Lodi, CA (especially Michael David Winery).

Love the show, Gary. I always learn something but really love watching because you always make me laugh.

I liked this episode quite a bit. I love the knowledge portion. Big ups to the JETS for an excellent game and a much needed win!!!

QOTD: I’m on a Pinot Grigio kick. Just had an excellent bottle from Duck Walk Vineyards out in the Hamptons, NY. You should do a road show from out there (seriously). Why not represent a little NY in the house?! We are on the same latitude as France, and the Maritime conditions make for some killer wines that I think you would appreciate very much.

QOTD I`m crazy about CF`s from Loire Valley at the moment. Now I have in my glass Couly-Dutheil La Baronnie Madelaine 2001 from Chinon. It is a decent one and perfect for this cold and rainy autumn night in Finland.

Great Show, Gary. Way to drop the knowledge-bomb!

QOTD- Ideally: something new, every time!
Am I a proper “Vayniac” or what? ; )

Gary & Mott for president & vice president! : P

Of Ireland ; )

Dinye? That’s Hungarian for melon as well (Slavic seems to be Dinje).

QOTD – still trying everything, currently sipping on a Cave de Saint-Désirat 2004 Saint-Joseph, heavy on the pepper!

Happy voting, make sure the right one gets in, OK? 🙂

Very nice show on Chablis, has me very interested!!

QOTD: As we speak I am drinking some 2003 Esporao from Alentejo, had it in the decanter since yesterday, was great yesterday but even better today.

Hi! Never had real chablis. Will one day, sans doute! It’s good that you’re so psyched about the Jets. Favre throws a ton of interceptions, but he’s a winner.
QOTD: Bit o this and that. Currently Masciarelli Montepulciano Maria Cvetic 2004.

Loving my Gruner Veltliner right now. Met up with Laurenz Moser today. He’s the guy behind the Laurenz V. Charming, Friendly and Singing Gruner Veltiners.

His grandfather invented a trellising system that many vineyards now have. He worked for Mondavi in Europe for over 8 years.

Awesome wines, just awesome, wines. The wine world is crying out for a new white hero.

I think we’re on the cusp of a new white revolution and GruVee could be it.

I had a chance to try a 1er Cru Chablis this summer – I think I paid 14 euros. It was lemon-popsicle city. I’m a fan.

QOTD: 2000 and 2001 Chateau de La Riviere [Fronsac]. So cheap. So good.

QOTD Trying out a Bernkasteler Badstube riesling spätlese 2001 from Dr. H Thanisch. Still fresh with a nice sugar/acidity balance. Hold on a bit more to those 2001 rieslings (at least the better producers).

Six to eight year old Chablis premier crus from a good vintage are usually excellent (at least based on several such Fèvre Fourchaume 1er cru tried over the last couple of years).
