Whatever the subject tomorrow, an appearance by Sascha would be great.

Never had a bad day, Gary? A really bad day?

QOTD: No ice wine.
QOTD2: Tina Fey. Clearly you two are the most It Celebrities of 2008, so it makes sense. (Don’t let it go to your head!)

Panthers should have won last night. Sorry, Mott, but only the wind saved y’all this time.

QOTD1: Not yet.

2: Family/Friends episode.

QOTD #2: I dunno man, but it better be epic, it may be the first episode my girlfriend sees, I’m going to be visiting her starting tomorrow 😀

I’m a Dolphins fan but I was also very disappointed that the Jets blew that one. That would have set up an amazing match in NY next week.

Q1. My favourite ice wine would have to be Jost Ortega IceWine from Nova Scotia Canada. Another notable mention is Jost’s Maple Wine which is fantastic for those with a sweet tooth.

Q2. Perhaps high-end wine tasting?

What does viscus mean? I goggled it and checked the dictionary and it’s apparently an internal organ. So I am thinking it’s not the same in Wineland, NJ

QOTD2: Wine.

QOTD: We’ve had a local ice wine. OK, but the price!

QOTD2: Family oriented. Hopefully we’ll be treated to seeing your dad again?

1: Dr. Wolfgang Unger, Riesling Eiswein. Also Henry of Pelham.

2: Blind tasting of Bordeaux first growths.

(Some input: for 601-699, how about a bit more focus on food pairings?)

QOTD: Best ice wine I’ve ever had is Gewurztraminer from Andrew Rich Winery in Oregon.

QOTD: Best ice wine I’ve ever had is Gewurztraminer from Andrew Rich Winery in Oregon.

QoTD1: None
QOTD2: Wine tasting with MOTT!?!?!!1!!111!one!!!

Inniskillin is a very nice ice wine. Niagara on the Lake in Ontario. Nice winery. Nice people. Nice wine.

Go Bills! Gary, you think your heart was broken by the Jets. Try watching Losman the week before as a Bills fan.

You should do Episode #600 at the Superbowl! Maybe get some players to help you taste test 🙂

no. NOOOOOOOOOO. bubbles and snow was perfect, damn haters.

benmarl sweet sarah. hudson valley NY get your bunz up here! no foolin.

benmarl sweet sarah. hudson valley NY get your bunz up here! no foolin.

QOTD 1: I only find Inniskillin here in Monterrey, so it’s the only one I’ve tasted. ( although I have had tokaji but I don’t think it counts as ice-wine. )

QOTD 2: I couldn’t know waht the show would be about, maybe a recap of the best WLTV moments or a resumed “wines to watch out for in 2009” presentation.

SIDENOTE: Cheer Up, the Jets don’t hold the secrets of the universe, and the players can always be replaced, I agree, “EFF” the Jets.

QOTD: Always pass up the opportunity to taste or buy an IceWine. I prefer Port or Sherry or sweet muscat.

You will wait till Christmas Eve to do the #600 episode. The Christmas Secret Pack and the importance of family. You will probably make an announcement of some sort, but I hope it isn’t about being the final episode. We still haven’t done Mexican and Baja CA wines. And the cheese–there’s always the cheese.

QOTD: Inniskillin Riesling

2nd QOTD: Brandy

A consolation:

At the winery I work, the 1948 Tucker upstairs is YOUNGER than the last time my Cardinals hosted a playoff game. So, you see? It can be worse.

Saw episode #500 live in San Francisco. Keep up the outstanding work.

Happy #600!

First of all Gary, thanks for the big shout out at the 16 minute mark, that had me grinning like a cheshire cat. I’ve been toasting the big 47 with some Henriques & Henriques 10 Year Old Boal madeira, which is superb – and I still hope and pray you will do a madeira episode down the road. My guess is for tomorrow you will do a blind tasting of top drawer Bordeaux cru classes, something outrageous. GV rock the house! 🙂

Secondly this ice wine episode was very well organized and executed, it was good to see different regions and styles contrasted. I also love the Kiona ice wine and some of the late harvest style dessert wines from the Tri Cities area of Washington. Personally I think the champagne worked just as well last Friday as the ice wine would have in the same circumstances, no hindsight errors in judgement there. As usual, GV’s palette is all-world class.

QOTD – For a qpr point, although it technically does not qualify, I am a big fan of the Cooper Mountain Vineyards (from Oregon) vin de glace Pinot Gris – where the grapes are thrown in the freezer. It is not very expensive and delivers quite a wallop of flavour.

Thanks again for the shout out!
Ray

qotd#1: renwood zinfandel ice wine. a good alternative to port / sherry.
qotd#2: family? friends? cheese? bordeaux tasting?

Boy, the Jets were so disappointing yesterday – what a waste! who was that stranger wearing #4 and underthrowing everybody?

Really hope tomorrow isn’t the last show – that would be sad. Especially cause that would mean the Mott-Cam would never come to be.

QOTD – just tasted ice wine, but never bought a bottle… (do have the seleks from the book, but not opened yet)

QOTD2 – i think tomorrow’s show will be about budget/value sparkling wines (in celebration, and timely for the coming holidays). seeing shasha would be fun too!

Please do a Mott Cam!

Actually, I’ve had and enjoyed the Kiona icewine … apart from its viscosity, the thing that stands out about it is the Windex nose. Good stuff though.

Charming ep.

QOTD: Ep 600? Maybe a visit with your family, Liz and Sasha at the very least.

QOTD: Tomorrow’s show? About the number 600.

Sorry, haven’t had any ice wines yet. I hope to fix that this Christmas.
