Commentary for Avodah Zarah 59:4

רבי ינאי בר ישמעאל חלש על לגביה ר' ישמעאל בן זירוד ורבנן לשיולי ביה יתבי וקא מבעיא להו יין מבושל יש בו משום גילוי או אין בו משום גילוי אמר להו ר' ישמעאל בן זירוד הכי אמר רשב"ל משום גברא רבה ומנו ר' חייא יין מבושל אין בו משום גילוי אמרו ליה נסמוך מחוי להו ר' ינאי בר ישמעאל עלי ועל צוארי

R. Yannai b. Ishmael was sick and R. Ishmael b. Zirud and other rabbis came to ask about him. As they sat, the question was asked of them: Does boiled wine become forbidden by being uncovered? To which R. Ishmael b. Zirud replied: Thus said R. Shimon b. Lakish on behalf of a great man — and his name is R. Hiyya: Boiled wine does not become prohibited by being left uncovered. They said, “Shall we rely on it?” R. Jannai b. Ishmael motioned [as if to say], “The responsibility is on me and on my neck.”

Daf Shevui to Avodah Zarah

The halakhah here is the same as above. The real life setting of the discussion is interesting. It shows rabbis learning halakhah while visiting the sick. It also shows some process of reciting a tradition and then asking another sage if it is authoritative.
