really good episode – back to the roots of WLTV! love me sum St E!!! on a day with just cheese it is my favorite Bordeaux region.

good movies that go bad – “A History of Violence” is one from last year.

love that you canned Rol and Peby when everyone else is on their knees for these two. rock on.

Best snack.. Extra sharp cheddar,, the aged crumbly kind, with Stoned Wheat Thins.
how was London? Also lets put things in perspective. At $37 its certainly not expensive for good bordeaux,, but any wine over $30 dollars a bottle should be somethin at least slightly special..
Hey, were not all millionaires, so for us regular joes, this is a pricey bottle.. and should be considered a special occasion wine.

Cool episode, I’m always learning!

QOTD: Pepperidge Farm GOLDFISH!!!

-Nico

Gary, Indulge me with dark chocolate and I’m snacked for life.PS How on earth do I get to try these wines downunder?

G,
Timely episode !
The 2/28/07 WSJ has an article on Chateau Valandraud of St. Em. and grooming a wine ambassador to china.

QOTD: Olives�.any type really�stuffed preferably�cheese�jalapeño�

OH SNAPS you done brought it out didn’t you! Favorite snack? Oh shoot. Well let me break it down internationally for all you heads back home. Jyaga riko, that’s right. It’s a little potato stick, chippy, mixed salad flavored, crunchy, addicting snacks over here in Japan. Also, Triscuits (Original, what’s up with low sodium and thin and wedgey crap…no sir, only the big ol’ fat, cut your mouth up with the hard edges, dehydrate your whole body with one cracker style). Triscuits and Sauternes. How about that for a pairing? You know you all love it!
OK so who wants some jyaga riko, triscuits and sauternes?

Great episode Gary.

QODT: raw ramen noodles, especially the oriental flavor.

Thanks for the ep, Gary! As a Bordeaux newbie, anything you can tell us to demystify this region is much appreciated! Will definitely seek out the Chateau Larmande!

QOTD: Cheese & fruit (good, sharp cheddar w/ apples, blue cheese w/ pears, etc) – or, if I’m spending an evening watching junky TV & really want to go all out, tortilla chips w/ Tostito’s salsa con queso (gotta love that fake orange cheese color – YUM!)

Question for you (or for any other commenters): I have a 2000 St Emilion Grand Cru (Prier des Jacobins) that I got as a gift. When should I open it? If I open it now, how long to decant?

Thanks!

Great episode Gary. I have yet to taste a Bordeaux however I will soon. I dont know the Mario question but I do love nintendo lol. I voted for you on the vlog looks award you handsome devil you LOL. You were way in the lead so you should be good to go.

QOTD: Cheese and Wine. Next Best would be Cheez-It’s

It’s a close race between kettle cooked jalepeno chips and sharp provolone or manchego and dried meats. I only say that because i can make a meal out of the cheese and meats.

Gary- St-Emilion has always been the fave in our house. Something about the merlot/cab franc combo.

QOTD- Wisconsin sharp cheddar cheese and salted cashew nuts.

Gar-
I had to work
lllllllllllllllooooooooooooooonnnngggggggggggg
hours yesterday
sssoooooooooooooooooooooo…….
I just saw the viral vid.
Fabulous, funny and good.
Glad to see another good vid of you
and
voted also.
p.s. no contest on the vote- you are miles ahead!
🙂

Great ep. Appreciate you honesty.
My favorite snack is probably fig newtons.

I can’t believe that little wine-gremlin has such control over me that I actually went to some site and voted for which dude I thought was best-looking. If the boys at work find out about this I’m doomed…

QOTD: Beef Jerky time!

60% of the vote and going strong!!!!!

Pecorino and fig jelly, damn straight!

QOTD – Blue Bell Cake Batter Ice Cream. Seek it out.

I’ve never had a Saint Emilion…Looking forward to trying it. I’m off to put the Chat Larmonde in my shopping cart.

QOTD:
Gouda cheese on Triscuits.

Or queso: a can of Rotel tomatoes melted with a pound of Velveeta, served with tortilla chips. I don’t know how widely available Rotel is, but it is a staple food here in south Texas.

Gary, what happened to your hair? 😉

I love a variety of cheeses with wine. When I’m not drinking wine I turn into somewhat of a cookie monster for chocholate chip cookies. However….

CHOCHOLATE CHIP COOKIES AND LBV PORT ROCK!!!!

I love St. Emilion wines. Monbousquet is one of my favorites because it offers great value year-after-year. Your comments about the sand at Larmande reminded me of Sam Kinisonâ??s bit on sand.

QOD: Favorite snack is probably Ritz crackers with Jif Crunchy peanut butter and a big glass of milk. Iâ??ll go thorough a whole sleeve of crackers and several glasses of milk in the same sitting. Another favorite, and this sounds a bit odd, is Triscuit crackers with peanut butter on them and sharp cheddar cheese melted on top of the peanut butter. Try it sometime and I bet youâ??ll like it!! Oreo cookies or my wife’s homemade chocolate chip cookies dunked in milk is another great one.

Gary, I think you are going to have a hard time beating that Greg Rose guy!!

What is a Bordeaux? Is that some type of wine or something?

QOTD: creamed corn with A1 Steaksauce.

“she’s into pinot…perfect.”

Gary,

Your starting to see through Mr. P…I like that.

miniQOTD – Apolalypse Now has the worst, most incoherent ending of any movie that started great.

QOTD – White Cheddar Natural CHEETOS

QOD: Cereal is the best snack ever! I could eat it for every meal. Gary are there any wines out there that are a perfect match with cereal? I’d be in heaven!!!!

Nice St. Emillion episode. I just drank the 2005 Chateau Teyssier last night. Best $10 bordeaux I ‘ve had. What a steal.

Hey Gary enjoyed the show and I have already voted for you so I hope you win. It appears at this point that you have a sizeable lead on your competitors.

QOTD: Chips and salsa

Ken B.
