I find it bogus that you somehow say that if you are getting to be 30 you are somehow less “cool”. Who the hell decided who and what is cool, and why should some club kid be cooler than say a 55 year old English professor.. please don’t fall into the myth of our culture that young is better than old

QotD: I love German wines, the Rieslings and blends I’ve had were excellent and reasonably priced. Trokkenberenausele [sp] is on my wine bucket list.

Watched this before, and finally getting around to leaving a comment.
I LOVE Riesling! It is my favorite grape. I prefer the peach, apricot, honey flavors over the apple ones but don’t care if it is dry or sweet as they are all good. A little kerosene and good minerality make for even better wines. I love the explosive nose, followed by fresh, juicy flavors. Oh Yes! I am in that 3% of Riesling nerds and proud of it! 🙂

The wine queen is the one with the gorgeous nose…
Way better looking than you OR Robert Parker.

In Chile Undurraga has the same bottle style as the Schmitt’s..waiters say that it is easier to pour one handed. I understand that Riesling was big in the US back in the 50’s, got to wonder why it fell out of favor now that it is making a comeback. So versatile, and so reflective of its terroir…we just to have keep trying them. The 2007s are generally really great.

Mott is the man…he can do it all at once.

Excellent show, although it was very difficult to hear your lovely guest, Pity. She has a beautiful smile and seemed quite knowledgeable about her German wines.

QOTD: I like German wines, but admittedly, I don’t drink very much of them or of Riesling. We still lean heavily towards red wines at my house.

Nice & loud show GV!

Lovely guest. (Wine lovers dream girl!) 😉

What was that steam cloud?? Very, very funny! That place is awesome, but looks (and sounds) more a pub than a wine place?

Would so much enjoyed your guest well-lighted with acceptable sound. Pick her up in a wine bar, fine. But invite her back to the Wine Library studio/office so we can see her beauty and hear her wine wisdom.

QOTD: Riesling is wonderfully versatile and delicious; I will drink it in a heartbeat anytime. As I would most German wines. As I would most wines, no matter where they are well made. Especially when poured by a wine princess.

The first bottle I ever had was a Spätbugunder in Germany. I like dry Rieslings, but it almost always ends up taking a backseat to Albariño for me. Still, I’ll always have a soft spot for German wines.

Hi Gary!

Good show.

I wanna do the same…
Look at this way,:for the first time you would actually have proper pronounciation of Portuguese varieties . Wouldnt that be great? 🙂

Saúde!

Great show. Your guest was charming, and had a great knowledge of wine. Be careful…she could replace you on the Thunder Show in a heartbeat!

QOTD: I recently started enjoying German Rieslings. After years of Chateau Ste. Michelle Rieslings (which I like), I was pleasantly surprised at the acidity and balance of the German wines. Riesling can be very complex and us Americans can learn a lot from the Germans.

German wine queen is BEAUTIFUL!!! Sorry Gary but she is easier to look at 🙂

who’s the douche bag in the sleeveless T-shirt that keeps walking by

Sorry Mr. Grieco!!!

QOTD: Love them, esp JJ Prum

always loved your shows

Go Wine Queen! Thanks for the entertainment and vast knowledge!

QOTD: I can only generally find the super sweet wines for a reasonable price, so I rarely buy them. But I love a good dry Riesling!

Hi,

not sure I would call it a serious German wine show – the wines may be a bit expensive in the States, but are quite inexpensive in Europe, making them everyday type of wines. A 10 dollar American wine that sells for 30 dollars in Sweden isn’t very serious, even if 30 dollars is a lot of money. If you are going to get serious, then try the wines in a better venue and go up in price.

Nothing unusual about Bocksbeutel (goat scrotum) – and not an indicator of quality.

Hi Gary,

great show!

@ Roland: first of all you are absolutely right with the arguments mentioned in your comment: but, would you please be quiet and stop telling the world that there is even much more better riesling in Germany… 😉
Sssshh…

Greetings from Germany
Guido

I still want to marry her..

“It’s Juicy”! Yikes!

What an enchanting young lady. Makes me feel very old.

Love German reislings, been drinking them all my life (German heritage) sad that they are no longer so affordable in the U.S.

Going back in the archive, have not been keeping up with WLTV last couple of months. Finally a good looking women as a guest, you are finally, after 700 eps, getting it GV! Have her back anytime!

German Rieslings are among my favorite wines!

I’m totally head over heels in love. I mean I love you GV, but this woman is simply fantastic. Please have her on again in the future…….pleasssse.

I don't like commenting on dead episodes, but this is worth making an exception. She needs to be on the show again before her reign ends, with better lighting. That accent…

QotD: I love German everything. I've had but a couple Rieslingen (ein Kabinett und ein Spätlese). There would have been a third, but it was corked :(. And the women…

qotd: Love German wine, and Riesling, but I don’t like the fact that there are a lot of wines made in Germany besides riesling that you barely ever get to see in the U.S.
