qtod: well I just made beef pasta, with Oxtail stock and in a Carbanara style, with Pesto (homemade of course) and I had already opened a bottle of NZ Off-dry Sauv Blanc and it paired actually really well.

just re-watching this now in 2008 and see you picked the Giants to go 4-12….missed that one just a bit considering they won the super bowl.

To the “wine expert” below: it would seem you know nothing about wine. Wine is about conviviality. Pleasure. Good times with close friends. It’s not about crashing the party and being a dickhead.

Iâ€™m having my first barolo while rewatch this episode. Itâ€™s a 2003 Rivata Barolo. Itâ€™s not bad, floral nose, serious tannins. It probably needs to breath longer. Barolo isnâ€™t in my price range so I wonâ€™t be doing this too often.

First of all the wine glass you selected is too small and the rim too narrow. Second all the non wine talk is a total waste of my time while the wine talk is an almost total waste of my time. Third the 2000 barolo is the wine of the century so far. Fourth you seem like a beer guy trying to talk wine. Finally you should let a 2000 barolo breath for at least 5 hours.

QOTD: Thats a hard one because I love many Italian dishes, but havent drank a lot of Italian wines. That sort of limits my options so I will have to go with tiramisu and Vin Santo. Would have loved to say a nice homey spaghetti sauce with a Barolo, though.

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)
