    Small restaurant, La Cantinetta in Barolo owned by my friend, Maurilio. Last time there, 2004, we had some fine pasta for warmups with a 1997 Bricco Pio Cesare; Barbaresco (devine). But to answer the QOTD,we enjoyed Osso Buco with a 1998 Barolo Case Nere by Enzo Boglietti, which I described as “intense floral, tarry-leather nose and power on the palate that would not end”.

    Hi Gary, You seem to have a good time! I always hear those exotic birds during your show. You are filming from the amazonas, right? Btw. I had canned crocodile once. It tastes like chicken, just dryer. From my experience I can recommend big ass shiraz from Australia for crocodile. Once again the old wisdom holds true that you should drink wine from where the food you eat comes from. Hey viewers, has anyonentasted snake? How does it taste like? Which wine to accompany that food? Is snake recommended as a healthy diet where you also lose some extra kilo and have all the vitamines and trace elements at the same time? Each and every comment is well appreciated.

    Massolino has become my favorite Barolo producer. QOTD: My favorite Italian meal? It is a tie between veal saltimbocca and mushroom risotto - pair either with Barolo or perhaps a nice Amarone.

    First time I ever saw your show -really impressed. I think you are going to help me move from newbie wine drinker to knowledgable wine drinker. Thanks.

    Gary — Hello. Great episode. We are going to try the 2000 Massolino Barolo for sure. A few questions: (1) How long should Barolos breathe? and (2) How long should Barolos age before drinking (your recommendation)? Let me know if you want to open a Manhattan location… I’d love to work for you guys!! Take care and travel safe, jen

    Stellar.

    AOTD: I wish I knew. I had a sort of clam spaghetti at a little restaurant in Venice, paired with a glass of some white. It was wonderful. One of the clams never opened so we pocketed him (or her) out and returned her (or him) to the canal. So this meal comes with a story!

    Thanks for taking care of us while you are on the road. This episode encourages me to try a couple of older barolos that I brought back from Italy. I hope to try more in Italy in the not too distant future. All Italian food is good.

    Never had a Barolo but I have some in my cellar that I can’t wait to drink.

    QOTD: Beef in Barolo - last time I made it I had an amazing Barbara by Massolino (and of course I didn’t use a bottle of Barolo to cook the beef)

    holy CRAP, there are a ton of comments on this episode!

    I REALLY want to try some Barolo now. It seems like the list of varietals I want to explore is always getting longer. I just bought a bunch of rieslings because I’m moving past my dark red and purple comfort zone. Maybe on the next order I’ll get to brown.

    QOTD: My favorite Italian dish is a seafood linguini that my girlfriend makes. I’m also a big fan of spinach ravioli w/ pesto. The best wine I’ve had w/ the linguini was the ‘05 Demeter “V” Furmint. Delicious!

    Two questions for you: 1) Gary, does the picture on Cork’d have to be OF ME? 2)What’s up with the WLTV cameraman? …Did you say that he doesn’t like wine? I guess you’ve been referring to this for a while now, but I’ve never really gotten the joke before now.

    I AM NOT A LURKER!!!! (anymore)

    QOTD: I’m not a fan of most tomato based sauces. I prefer alfredo and other cream sauces. I love tortellini with pepperoni and alfredo sauce. Don’t have enough wine experience to select a wine to go with it. I’ll have to try some. ;>)

    QOTD - Osso Buco with cheezy polenta and one of those Barolo’s you were tasting - HAS to be snowing outside with a fire in the fireplace.

    “shut up and do a keg stand….” classic.

    Gary, I know there are a few american grown nebiolo wines. Can you squeeze some into an episode when you get back?

    Enjoy your trip.

    Have always loved that Barolos are earthy and complex without being over the top. Recently had the 2000 Renato Ratti “Roche” at a restaurant’s half price wine night, and really enjoyed.

    Great episode. Only had a few of Barolo and Barbarescos so far but I really like the nebbiolo grape.
    QOTD. Italian food is great period. It’s tough to choose a favourite. So I’ll choose one of my favourites. Spaghetti alla carbonara. Went great with the Valpolicella I had.
    I just got back from holidays and got the Vayniac wristband in the mail. Sweet! Picture to come soon.
