Comment on REVIEW: Auguste Bonhomme Vouvray Demi-Sec La Forcine 2010 by Amanda Paa

Love this post – and you taught me something. I have always like Vouvray, it’s got great weight and some floral notes that are beautiful. But I never knew it was made from Chenin Blanc grapes!

Comment on Better Than Average Pairings: Chardonnay & Hot Dogs by Duncan Shannon

Nice episode guys!

I was surprised that you jumped from just about to taste the dogs to done so quickly! It was a nice length video tho.

oh, one other comment. the white text ‘grilled hot dog with mustard’ and ‘here’s a recipe for a pork loin’ don’t show up in some rss readers (at least not google reader) because it puts the white font on a white background)

ps. reCaptcha is a pain in the ass.

Comment on Great Guest Gifts – How to Thank Your Holiday Hosts by Erik Wait

If only this show was in production… I would suggest adding wine gadgets as gifts as well, including but not limited to… various types of wine cork pullers, bottle stoppers, stemware (wine glasses), subscriptions to wine magazines, wine videos etc. These can be great stocking stuffers and are easier to mail as a gift to a friend.

Thanks for this video!

I’ve become increasingly interested in USA wine regions that offer unique varietal alternatives. The problem is because California, Oregon and Washington tend to dominate the market (at least here on the left coast) I’m never going to find in ANY local store ANY wine from Minnesota, the Finger lakes, Rhode Island, NY etc. or varietals other than the more popular French, Italian or German varetals.

This month marks the anniversary of your final episode, I wish you would revive it… you’d be surprised at how many new viewers you might have!

Probably one of the more humorous episodes… but ice wine is better enjoyed next to a warm fireplace than freezing your wallet off in the snow!

Comment on Wine Words: Acidity & Tannin by Erik Wait

I’m continuing to watch these videos and enjoying them but trying to figure out why it ended without any explanation. I wish I had heard about it when it was still in production, I think you needed to promote it more by getting involved with various social media formats to make it more well known. But, if you were to return to creating videos I think you’d suddenly find that you will have a bigger audience with the absence of Gary V and WLTV.

Cheers!

Great Episode, I’ve been a wine fanatic for years but I’ve yet to try these varietals. I’ll do so ASAP and taste them along with this video.

Comment on Fishy Pairings by Erik Wait

FYI, “Fish on Fridays” was mandated as a church discipline (not church dogma) when beef was considered a luxury. So Roman Catholics would give up this luxury in memory of the day Christ died (Friday) as a form of sacrifice in commemoration of His self sacrifice. But, once beef became common and inexpensive, thus no longer a luxury, the “Fish on Fridays” no longer made any sense. This is why it is no longer required since Second Vatican Council of 1965. Now, Catholics are called to choose to give up Friday whatever may be considered a luxury to them.

BTW, once of the chief characteristic of Sauvignon Blanc is its chalky minerality that can remind you of a clam shell… which is another reason why it paris so well with fish!

I hope you guys bring this show back!

Cheers!
