Hey I love all the ICE wines I can drink… more than Vin Santo… I can’t spell so…

Manana… Christmas i thought…

Dunno…

I might try the yakima…

Thanks…. i hooked you up on Facebook in texas…

QOTD: I ran downstairs to get some Inniskillin 2006 Riesling ice wine leftover from last night to sip with the show, so I guess that’s my favorite. I’m not much for sweet beverages, but I chose it to go with a lemon pudding cake souffle sort of dessert, and lemon pistachio biscotti, as the description said it had some lemon flavors, and indeed it did and it was quite perfect with the desserts. It’s pretty light and not too sweet.

I hope tomorrow’s show is going to be cruise oriented maybe with everyone dressed up as a member of Gilligan’s Island and you would have an umbrella in your glass. A small one. And maybe your top most exciting wines of the year.

QOTD: I always though gerwurzt makes the best ice wine.

I think Vidal is pronounced VEE-Dahl, after the French guy who made the cross. Gotta brush up on your almost totally obscure hybrids.

You said Dirty Jers. That’s what (some) locals call the N.J. kids at the University of Scranton.

Had an ice wine once and was not a fan… That was before I got into wine though.

Tomorrow going to be the day you do some txacolina?

QOTD: Grrr, never had an ice wine before, but have had Tokaji’s. haha, I know those don’t count, but they’re in the sweet catagory.

QOTD 2: Hmmm, I think you will bring out the more expensive wines and have a taste at them. You’re probably decanting them already, aren’t you 😉

QOTD 1: Never had one
QOTD 2: 05 Bordeaux

GV great show, nice to see a Canadian Wine back on the show..

QOTD: Calona Vineyards Ehrenfelser, Private Reserve Ice Wine (2005)

QOTD: I only wish it was on Foch

QOTD: My favourite Ice Wine is the Inniskillin Sparkling Riesling. It will change your world it’s so good! The bubbles give the palate so much lift and refreshment….It’s nearly impossible to get, but if you have any connections, you should work them for a bottle!

By the way GV my daughter was totally impressed that I got the big shout out on your show. It was replayed twice just to make sure we didn’t miss anything. She couldn’t help but notice you were greeting me Happy Birthday while playing with a plastic monkey! Are you ready for primate time Gary? (winking)

Ray (& Alexia)

Another great show.

QOTD: Gehringer Brothers Minus 9 Ehrenfelser Icewine is probably my favorite,
with Inniskillin Sparkling Riesling right up there as a close second.

Happy holidays Gary!

Hey- lurker here and fellow suffering Jets fan. The best thing about Sunday was I finished the rest of my Aries Pecorino!

QOTD: I got some ice wine from relatives in Toronto but I haven’t opened it yet.

QOTD2: I think you’ll bring in a small audience of random customers from the store and your family to spice things up! Maybe, have a live Q&A after the show.

Sorry for your loss. I live in Seattle and still feel sorry for you.
QOTD: Inniskillin Cab Frac Ice Wine! (mmm mmm tasty)

I’ve only tried one ice wine and it wasn’t memorable… I really want to find one now though, gonna have to go a hunt for that Kiona.
Tomorrow, maybe the afforable bubbles you talked about last week?

QOTD= No more QOTD until you will ship to my state or at least me!!

Wow …. great Idea – with the Ice Wines … should you ever make it over … which is as I can see from your travel-list is still “pending” … I should be to glad to organize an Ice Wine tasting …. or one with TBA´s if you like … no problem !! Episode 600 – eh ?? Yeah would be funny to have Mott on the show ! Happy Holidays and another succesfull ( at least ) 400 Episodes !! ;-)))

how fitting ice wines!
who friggin cares about “bottle shock” you NEED to take the vaniacs to see” the wrestler” !!!!!!!!!! hands down 100 % cooler.
have a good holiday
BTW qotd – no, too bad,

QOTD: No doubt, the 1997 KÜnster Hochheimer Hölle Riesling Eiswein!

Great show.

QOTD 1 – Have not tried an Ice Wine just yet, still working on the list.

QOTD 2 – Don’t have a clue. But would enjoy another blind tasting.

Solid show. Can’t wait to see what you’ve got up your sleeve for 600.

Hey Gary,

Just watched this, your best IMHO.

great show!

1st question: i liked an austrian ice wine tasted once, thats all my experience on that!

2nd question: bubbles?

happy holidays!

QOTD1: Ive never had ice wine, usually out of my budget
QOTD2: you mentioned you were gonna do sparklers from around the world with good qpr, whether or not you do that tomorrow, I’m looking forward to it. (and im hoping you do it soon cuz we plan on having a sparkler on xmas)

Last Ice Wine I had ws from a winery in NY on Long Island and it was years ago. Good but not great – just not a fan of the sweet stuff.

Sorry to say you’re right – the Jets season is over. There’s still another NY team in the mix though so how about converting to the “other side” for the remainder of the season??

QOTD: we tried the Thirty Bench Cabernet Icewine http://www.thirtybench.com/ a few weeks ago – also on an icy day, with freezing rain.

UNBELIEVABLE! Strawberry-rhubarb pie, you won’t need dessert, you’d have it in a 3 oz serving.

Picked up a tasting tip: hold icewine in your mouth for ten count, the taste receptors on the side of your tongue give you a chance to experience the full complexity of the wine.

Amazing…once again. Love it and will order shortly…
