    Good to see the Loire represent, doesn’t get the love it deserves.

    I rarely come across a Vouvray, but as I recall, I do like them a lot.

    QOTD: I’m not much of a sports fan, but I do know who the Jets are now, and I like ice skating, so whenever there’s a world competition between the USA and Russia I root for both because figure skaters are all so nice and personable.

    QOTD: I’m a bandwagon Sacramento Kings fan; that is, I only really watch them when they’re winning (not much lately). Other than that, I’m not really into team sports.

    Gary, I have to give thumbs up when it is due. Your nose tonite was spot on like a blood hound. This varietal has a not so well know trait. It is the “band aid” or “shower curtain” in the secondary of the nose. This was on the WSET Advance Cert Exam.

    QOTD: call me nuts, A Ohio boy loves the Browns!

    Check it out! The “oak monster” made an appearance on the Wine Spectator’s blog. And it was posted by Dominic Lombard FROM EUROPE! http://www.winespectator.com/blogs/show/id/Some-Call-It-Progress_40452

    Gary — your influence is starting to stretch far and wide. If you read James Suckling’s blog, and if you look at the comments to his blog, you will see that people are starting to think about the issues that Gary has identified over the past few years. Great job!

  • QOTD: Daaaaa Bearsss.

    Where was the intro today? That serious, really? Either way, I still enjoyed the content. My girlfriend and 2 of our friends recently discovered the deliciousness of vouvray. So much so that I barely got at the bottle . . . .

    Vouvray goes on the “must try” list. This is one of the big reasons I watch.

    QOTD: What is this “sports” of which you speak? (Slightly more seriously, Williams F1.)

    Spot on with Louis Dressner Selections! If you want to EYP and get away from over ripe, high alcohol fruit bombs, these are the wines to seek out. Would be nice to have one on a free shipping of the day selection even with a 2-3 bottle limit to allow new/young wine drinkers to try a wine that will EYP.
    QOTD:
    Favorite sport/team; Curling Kevin Martin Alberta

    Great show. LOVE vouvray.

    QOTD – Green Bay Packers baby. Born and raised in WI before moving to the east coast.

    If you had to have one football team represent america in a world wide football game, c’mon, it’d be the packers wouldn’t it? (And please, f the cowboys.)
