That was cool, great to see my old hometown state on WLTV.
QOTD; don’t really due desert wines,I’m more Port.

Fabulous ep! Love when you go in the trenches + visit!

QOTD: Sauternes are my fav! 🙂

QOTD: I don’t drink much dessert wine, but I really liked a Vinho Verde I had with apple pie a couple of weeks ago.

You were really nice to them and yet also were honest. Nice tightrope.

Does that lady know anything about her own wine? She seemed more unsure than anything. Gary had to work for every comment.
QOTD: Reisling?

I agree w/ Herm – a highpoint is Mr. Gary V.’s inclusion and exposure of the smallest little guy winery out there, and his ability to find, view, and express their positive attributes in simple, honest (imaginative!) terms and not appear condescending or patronizing, let alone embarrassing or humiliating. The bonding and fellowship he brings to wine novices is as powerful as it is important. At the same time, he lambasts those of the industry and world who exploit even their own consumer base with mediocrity and price gouging. I appreciate that.

GV – continue to bring thunder, and tell us how you REALLY feel!

QotD – Dessert wine’s delicious, but just ok. Not a big sweet tooth. I eat dessert about twice a year, and typically prefer fresh fruit at other times of the day, every day.

Thanks Gary for continuing to explore and expose the other 46. These, to me, are the most interesting shows.

Yo G, I’m sure glad Ya didn’t rag on that last vino (the Kiss).
That Lady was much tooo nice to have all her vinos dissed…..
Yooouuzzz a Gooooood Boooooooy !!! 🙂

qotd: I’ve been known ta knock-down a Sauternes, Late Harvest Riesling,
Late Harvest Gewurtztraminer, Tokai, Ice Wine, etc., now & then…… 🙂

QOTD: Nope. I love the desert wines, but they’re not my favorite wine.

Nice to see a show with other 46 wines that Gary didn’t pan. Shows potential. I’d like to see him come do some Connecticut wineries.

Hi Gary: I love the Russian Grandma anecdotes always; do you have any Grandpa anecdotes as well? Keep having fun you lucky bastard! Luvya.
Smell it first. TR

Nice show, but kind of dissapointing to see she wasnt completely in the know of her own wines though. At least overall it was a positive showing for a “other 46” state. QOTD: Im ALL about dessert wines, but Im training my palate for the reds…. slowly but surely.

Nice woman. Nice hostess. QOTD: almost always. love them. Need to find Eagle Rock!

qotd: Really well made Ice wines (Okanagan Rieslings or a late harvest red) with that nice acid or a Sauternes

Nice eppisode. Im excited to see other east coast wineries mixing vinafera with labrusca. I mean its about time, Barack Obama is our president now, the the harsh and unjust barriers of grapism shall fall; yes we can. lets us blend our Seyval with Reisling, our Merlot with our Baco.

what’s going on there. The wine marker doesn’t even know the blend?? what??
ok..even if she isn’t the viognier, as a manager, she has to know something about her wines. I will never buy anything from this winery. They are not dedicated to their wine.

QOTD: I LOVE Sauternes, but lately I’m into Howell Mtn Cabs.

Good to see this episode up. We were there that night for the tasting. Had a fun time talking with Gary and the other Locals.

The lady didn’t seem to know too much about her own wine. Uncomfortable to watch. But you kept it going GV and you earned your keep today.
QOTD: Sauternes

QOTD: I don’t really like sweets in general and so it has to be an amazing dessert wine with LOADS of acid and not much sweetness which kinda makes it technically not a dessert wine. I like good reds, whites, sparklings, etc.

Expanding my horizons.

I disagree w/a comment above. I think you told us what you thought. Maybe you did add a point or two to be nice. but the comments were what I heard.

Love that they make all sorts of weird blends. she did seem sweet but do agree she should have known a bit more about the wines.

comment part 2: read in your book how dessert wines always seem to score 92, 93, 94++
Now that you mention it…
QOTD: diabetic but can’t stay away from sauternes. dr loosen wehlener sonnenuhr auslese is a good tweener wine, sweet but w/ good acidity. most recent yrs 06, 07 delicious and versatile.

Gary — you are one likable dude. Tell it like it is and they still loved you. A real class act

Thanks guys

QOTD: No! In Australia and Hong Kong they’re probably not as popular as in the US, but I do enjoy them.

Cheers
Andrew

No, Last time I had a dessert wine was at Kanu Wine Estate in “sord-of” Stellenbosch area. Same people that do Mulderbosch. Don’t know if they still make it.

Wanted to thank Gary and all of you!!! Nerves and a very long day did enter into the interview, so I apologize for that. If you know me, you know better.
Also, Kiss is definitely on the list for sale. Cheers!!!!

GV – Not a big fan of the other 46 wines, however it is part of the wine world.

QOTD – I would not say that I am a big fan of dessert wines, but they can be really good – Ice wines, Pacherenc du Vic Bihl, Auslese.

QOTD: The East Coast does make some delicious dessert wines. I am on my way to Alba Winery in the Dirty Jerz to pick up a few bottles of their Apple wine made from Tewksbury apples—and I’m not a big fan of dessert wine.
