    The old Red Devils – Manchester United. And yes, I have been to Manchester, which is the great witty question when someone “outs” themselves as a fan. The season starts Saturday, bring it on! Good show, shame the Vouvray is already sold out…..ho hum

    QOTD: Big Sac Kings fan, but now that I’m in Memphis, it’s hard to keep up with them.
    Enjoy watching Memphis Tigers basketball.

    OK – I’ve been a lurker! This episode compelled me to leave a comment. Have been drinking Sancerre and Cheverny. I’ll definitely look for the Pinon Vouvray, and Vouvray in general! Sorry about the American Merlot show (Yes, a lurker).

  • Steve

    Big Fan! I just happened to be drinking Chenin Blanc (although from S. Africa) while watching this episode. Loved the episode and I’ve been digging this wine for the last few months. I definitely see this as a great sushi pairing (if it would only catch on). I have one general question, are there other names to look for when trying to find this varietal other than Chenin Blanc and Vouvray? Following up on your question of the episode…I grew up in D.C. and I’m a Redskins fan. It’s painful at times, but I’m hopeful almost every season, so I’m excited about this season (at this time). For the record, I’m bitter against my friends I grew up with in D.C. that are Cowboy fans. Can you relate??

    Favorite team would be the Mets. That’s why I’m drinking more wine this season.

    Hey Gary, how about featuring more Loire Valley wines on the e-mails and in store tastings (for us locals) and forget about the ratings game.

  • A dumb Rhine king

    Wow. Toned down, two reneges, and 3 wines over 90, all in one ep. This is one in … well, 700 🙂

    QOTD: Really not a sports fan, not because there’s anything wrong with sports, it just doesn’t interest me. I like to play, but not watch. So fav teams would have to be the only ones that I’m exposed to more often, home teams: Twins (yea I know they’re sucking it up right now), Vikings, and the Wild.

    I think I’ve had Vouvray maybe 1 – 5 times within the six years I’ve been drinking wine and going to wine tastings. I couldn’t even name one in the local liquor store.
