    I agree that Gavi is underrated. It can pass muster even with committed red-only wine drinkers!

    QOTD: common sense and imagination

    I think German and Austrian wines are underrated. But it is often hard to get good ones here.

    Good episode. Thank you for the information.

    So many things are underrated.

    Fighting evil is underrated, honesty is underrated, true friends are underrated.

    Sorry to be so negative. Bad week at work.

    Yeah!
    Gavi is a completely new varietal to me. Never even heard of it. But now I’ll probably see it everywhere.

    Gary, I have no idea where you get the asparagus in the Villa Sparina, but I totally agree with your overall evaluation of the structure and quality. I have been a fan of this wine for several vintages (though I think there might have been one in there that wasn’t as good) and the ’07 has made me just as happy as I expected. I thought it was hilarious that you made up your own fruit for a descriptor. I have come to expect that kind of thing from you (purple paint?), but, frankly, I don’t think it helps anyone else to understand your thoughts of the wine. I appreciated your heartfelt thanks at the end of the episode. Thank you for providing so many shows that are so interesting to me, and even for those few that are not.

    qotd: chenin blanc from the Loire valley — I am drinking a fantastic Savennieres right now and am thinking about the range of styles (bone dry to dessert with plenty in between) from several appelations that are so underappreciated. I guess I’m glad in a way that only a few of these wines, and mostly the sweet ones, have received enough attention from the major press to ask for high prices.

    Love the Gavi! Probably the first white wine to capture my interest early on in my wine drinking life. I’m still not sure there’s a white I goto more often. Even when it’s mediocre it seems to be highly drinkable.

    QOTD: Underrated? Our national soccer team and soccer in general in the US.

    The caption under the video says “Gary Vaynerchuk tries 3 Gavi?s…” Since when is an apostrophe used to make a non-possessive plural?

    QOTD: Grammar is underrated.
