95/100

Lines of the day, Mott, ‘That’s just Awful.’ GV, ‘That’s just like you and I became New Teenage Ninja Turtles, picked up the manhole, went down there and it was like sewer city.’

Hilarious episode full of different ways to describe stinkiness (including ‘a rhino just farted’)

Also notable for a rare swear word having to be bleeped out

Great stuff

    Nice show. I’m a real Bordeaux drinker but since a while I’m looking for less alcohol bombs. 14.5° is in my opinion to high. And Pinot Noir is the grape I’m looking for.

    QOTD. That’s a difficult one. There are plenty of places I would love to be right now. But just one place?
    For the moment it’s noon here, so that makes it easy.

    Restaurant Pierre Gagnaire in Paris.

    That’s annoying.

    You can’t go to Paris without a visit to the restaurant of Pierre Gagnaire., Rue Balzac. Awesome.

    This may go to Mott or whoever the wonderful person who uploads the videos to YouTube. Is there any chance you could upload episode 609. I’m pretty sure it’s not there and there are a few things I’d like some people to see from that episode.

    Thank you very much.

    Yours,

    B.S.

    Hey Gary – well said, well commented. Actually hardly anything to add to this. Burgundy lives of the many little “unknown” Winemakers, who do not need a big vineyard name behind them. The only problem with Burgundy is, that you cannot always taste the wines before you buy them. I am sure – quite a number of “big” names would stay on the shelf …. Or as Michael Broadbent once said : “…Burgundy is a minefield…”

    QOTD : Mine would be the Prekestolen on the Lysefjorden in Norway

    Like this as always 😉 Need to get into the wines more!

    Place in the world would be Vals in the southern Switzerland region of Graubünden to stay in the beautiful Spa and walk to the little village and have dinner with good local wines that have surprised me the last time… (Oh dear, I sound like an old man..;)

    How about doing a show with dry German Riesling, I know they are still hard to find here in the States and not yet so popular, but there is a new Generation of winemakers working on some awesome stuff for the past 10-20 years… like Battenfeld-Spanier, who works beautifully with the Rheinhessen terroir, Friedrich Becker and and and, it will also be funny to hear you say Rheinhessen, Pfalz, grosses Gewächs and so on 😉

    Great Ep. Gary!

    Glad to see that the clouds are lifting, even if only a little, from a couple of episodes ago..

    I will most definitely try a bottle of the Dubois in the near future! (It’s in my price range, lol ;-P)

    Now, if I had to choose ONE place to visit… It would probably be the Angel Falls in Venezuela. My mom’s side is from Venezuela and I’ve never had the chance to visit. We have the tallest waterfall in the world! (What,what?!)

    But that is a bit intense, haha! So I would probably like to visit Dinant, in Belgium, and sit at the top of the huge stone/mountain thing towering over the city and take in the sights of, inventor of the saxophone, Adolf Sax’s beloved home, which always fueled his accomplished life!

    Gary, have you ever done a show on vinho verde from Portugal? I am curious about this wine type, which I just learned about a week ago.

    The high bluff overlooking the sea at Lindbergh’s grave, Maui.

  • Wanna be in Paris, Telex 17 cafe, in front of the Post Office rue Poncelet, drinking a cheap cotes du rhone at the counter with my best friend
    Great show, love Burgundy. Bouchard great producer for Beaune love his stuff. Corton just north of Beane makes some sick wine too.

  • QOTD: I’d wanna be in the car with my wife and sick 2yr old son, while they drive back to me right now.

    Don’t get to drink too much Beaune, maybe i should change that.

    Good episode. QOTD- Singapore Flyer worlds largest Ferris wheel.

    GV – Great show and oddly enough, I’ve been ready to dive into Burgundy! We will see what happens…

    QOTD: The first thing that came to my mind was Winterland and San Fran…I would have liked to see “The Last Waltz” or the Grateful Dead play! Lot of history at that joint!

    Good show; I’m still a little fuzzy on Burgundy, only had a few still not real comfortable knowing what to look for. Beaune seems like a good jumping off point. I want to be in Madison Square Garden for the Eastern Conf. finals to see my Flyers dismantel the Rangers.

  • Great show, enjoyed the nerd-factor.

    QOTD: The International Space Station, and not just to visit but to work there. I know, that’s not on earth, but I think it’s a legit place.

    I love Coopers Hawk! Their wines are good and I have been back many times, mainly the ones in Burr Ridge and Orland Park. Did you know they make their wines in a warehouse in Countryside?;)

    Thanks for the shout out along with sheep butt. Beaune’s are in my wine cabinet always though my wife doesn’t like them. They are great with wild birds like pheasant and turkey. The one place I have wanted to go and may never get to because they are closed for now is el Bulli near Barcelona. Tried the last two times in Spain and could not get a reservation. French Laundry for me was expensive and only OK. Per Sae the same. Also want to go to Hong Kong for Dim Sum.

    Mott, link it up! The RSS media link to download episode 975 seems to be missing. Thanks guys, love the show!

    QOTD: Gambero Rosso, one of the world’s best restaurants in San Vicenzo, ITA. They don’t answer the phone, respond to emails or faxes or answer letters. Virtually impossible reservation unless you know a regular customer. I’ve tried for several years to get a rez.

  • Both were amazing. Eating spherical olives and drinking Cava during the sunset overlooking that little cove in Roses was ridiculously beautiful.

  • I’m with you on this one.

  • Great show… as I’m drinking Pinot a lot right now, time to expand to Les Beaune!!!

    QOTD: But as my passion is Right Bank, a 2-3 day event (or more!) with Christian Moueix, drinking Petrus, Dominus, and all other wines he produces, along with the food necessary to compliment his vision…

  • Excellent choice.

  • Love it.

  • Descriptors, descriptors, descriptors! I was LMAO for sure. I had a couple wines from Beaune when I was in Montreal with my wife…she enjoys them as well.

    QOTD: Aside from the beer destinations mentioned by other commenters, I would like to see many cities I haven’t been to yet like Shanghai, Tokyo, and Cairo. I wouldn’t mind a seat at Mini Bar either.

    Just saw the show for the first time via link on the inc.com site. Love it. I’m a big wine dork from Pittsburgh (sorry about this weekend, my house on the north side was rockin).

    Great show on Beanue though. Proposed to my wife a couple years ago outside of Beaune on a vineyard overlooking Pernand Vergelesses. This is an amazing area. Morey St Denis wines would have be tops for me. Producer is key to a good Burgundy of course though.

    One thing when I was speaking to people there that was of big concern was the changing climates recently in the area. As you know Pinot Noir is an insanely finicky grape and is of course the only red grown in the area. They are so steeped in tradition that it would seem unthinkable to some, but do you think introduction of different grapes could ever happen? It is something that seems to be in serious discussion there. I don’t see it happening any time soon, but I also don’t see them jeopardizing their production and quality standards.

    Just a thought though. But love the show, you have a new fan here.

    oh and anyone who describes a wine with sheep’s butt and rhino farts is the man

    I was fortunate enough to stumble across that place in 09 when I was around that area. Do not blink when you get close, you will miss it. I have been able to find a few places that carry their beer, and it brought me back to the definition of an old school brewery. It is a living relic, good luck on your quest!

    I guess without giving it too much thought, a wonderful place to be would be on the bluff over looking the ocean in a Sandal’s millionaire suite in St. Lucia and of course drinking some wonderful Burgundy.

    I would be afraid of being shat on in order to experience this descriptor for myself. Not to mention being gored by a Rhino horn! Although, I have heard it?s a aphrodisiac in some places, if I lived to tell the tail (ha, tail pun) I might actually enjoy it!

    Excellent show and, obviously, excellent wines. While I like Burgundies, I just haven’t ever really gotten into them on any sort of in depth or regular basis – although I’m not sure why. Sure, price has something to do with it and the various Crus and such are somewhat complicated and I haven’t taken the time to get educated, but still, this is definitely a category I need to dive into more.

    QOTD: I’ve always wanted to see the Sphinx and the Great Pyramid in Egypt. I’ve also always thought that going on a safari would be really cool.

    We know Gary likes the Riesling, but so do these folks:
    http://www.germanwinesociety.org
    I just joined my local chapter in SF late last year and I’m getting to try some amazing stuff. The people are so nice and as passionate about Riesling as I am. Yeah!

    Great episode, not a Burgundy fan myself but nevertheless it was fun to watch..

    QOTD: I don’t know…. The Half Dome in Yosemite perhaps?

    I wasn’t sure myself…had to Google it. 🙂

    Very nice breakdown of a specific area within Burgundy, super informative. More please. Thanks!

    QOTD: Ok, first thought, the Lawspeaker’s Rock at Thingvellr in Iceland.
    Very important spiritual nexus point. On my *Bucket List* for sure.

    As far as Food & Wine destinations, I think I’d be torn between hanging around with Alex, (a really cool German gal who knows a lot of great “you’d never get this one in the States” local wines) and going to Canitina Valle in Alto Adige and having the 2006 “Aristos” Kerner at Isarco, which was my “epiphany” wine.
