    Don’t eat much cheese, but I always keep some ~Asiago~ around to freshly shred onto Italian and Mexican dishes which goes well with the ~Valpolicella~ varieties. Also, that soft white cheese spread with garlic and herbs that comes in those plastic cups is good with Tempranillo.

    QOD: Favorite cheese and wine pairing? Geez! That’s really tough. I love too many cheeses (and the wine part goes without saying). I guess I would have to give you two (I know, cheating): 1) Morbiere and an older classified Bordeaux, and 2) Asiago and Brunello di Montalcino.

    GV,

    Favorite wine and cheese pairings are:

    -Piave vecchio and an easy, jammy Italian red like a montepulciano or a dolcetto
    -Asiago or gruyere with a nice German or Alsatian riesling

    Those are just the ones that immediately come to mind. I love these episodes so definitely do more in the future!

    Ultimate wine and cheese combination? Try Peccorino and matured Champagne - a perfect match!

    I love cheese. I love wine. I loved this episode.

    Perfect wine-cheese pairing? More of a wine-cheese-terroir pairing: a young Manchego cheese with a 1999 Bodega Ysios Reserva @ the AWESOME Calatrava-designed winery near La Guardia in Rioja.

    Gary, yet another great episode. QOTD: LOVE cheese, chocolate and wine. Although most of my favorite Italian cheeses “Dolcelatte, Mascarpone, and Mozzarella” don’t seem to go very well with any wine that I’ve found. Favorite Italian Cheese and Wine pairings would have to be older Castelmagno cheese with a quality Amarone wine, or Asiago cheese with Valpolicella Classico. Also Pecorino di fossi with any well made pinot grigio, as well as a good Refosco. Cheers ~ Jtk

    Kraft Singles with a nice glass of Strawberry Hill (side note: chased with a PBR)

    J/K - I really love a nice soft Brie pared with Honig Souvignon Blanc

    Gary, another great show. Wine and cheese is the perfect combination. I’d like to see you try a real sharp, aged provolone with a Zenato Riserva Amarone.

    What don’t you sip the cheese while chewing it? It may be gross but it does enhance the tasting like sipping with the wine.

    Gary-
    Just caught up on some episodes. I said you should do the Champagne tasting BLIND, not ON CRACK! Great episode regardless.

    today’s episode was also REMARKABLE. Wine and Cheese is fun, PERIOD.

    QOD: Blue cheese and port. Boring, I know, but there is a reason that it is a CLASSIC. It is delicious.

    All of this tasting inspires me to do some tasting of my own for the holidays.

    Upon first sip, oh very quick, extremely forward right from the start. Strong structure in the middle but very explosive on the outer edges. But, boy oh boy does this offering have a lasting finish. Very impressive this is a world class offering. However, this offering my not appeal to everyone’s taste. If your name is Gary and you’re from New York you may find this offering a little off.

    I give this a solid 99!! I love the holidays.

    Final note on this tasting, if you happen to wear the number 10 in the New York area you may be able to taste strong sensations of fresh earth. In a couple of days this should really be evident.

    Excellent show Gary, but the fins pull the spoiler this year.

    Mark it down on the board, 24-10 from Scotty. There is always next year J-E-T-S.

    Excellent episode- love the wine and cheese parings, especially the red wines. Wine library seems so much older than 150+ episodes in one year. Looking forward to a 2007 filled with WLTV.

    Hey,

    Greetings form Austin, TX. Just wanted to lose my “lurker” status.

    Thanks,

    Gary,

    Loved the cheese and wine pairing. I’m going out to get some of the Black Truffle Moliterno for my next bottle of wine.
    Will you stop calling me a lurker now?

    Nice episode Gary.

    I was fortunate to have my wife work for a cheese importer so we were spoiled by having access to some kickass cheeses.

    I would say the best combination that comes to mind was a real French Muenster (no not the deli cheese!) and a nice off-dry reisling.

    Another thing about this episode is that you brought up something I was going to ask you about - the introduction of white grapes into red blends. Would you consider doing an episode on this,looking particularly at the Australian’s take on Cote Rotie?

    Thanks again,

    JohnC
