Oh, I remember the glass,,,,,,, maybe it will be useful for oil, sucks for wine!

QOTD: not too much experience with oil, but give me a good English Stilton,,, maybe 3 days on the counter,,, nice and creamy/stinky,,, some crackers and a vintage port!! talk about sporting wood!!!!

While in Ann Arbor for grad school, I was spoiled by the cheese selection at Zingerman’s Deli (and the free samples). My current favorite would probably be Remeker…
I haven’t experimented much with olive oil (yet).

Gary, I had to pause your episode and rush into my fridge and find a cheese to eat along…I am not much of an expert and I like all cheeses, especially Gouda’s and goat cheese based ones…What I do not understand on this episode is how could you resist tasting wine along?!! Cheers.

Ohh, cheeses: my current obsession is Delice d’Argental, a triple creme french thing that is out of this world. (and even better than d’Affinois or Delice de Bourgogne)

Olive Oil: last one that made my eyes bug out because of its goodness:
Tenuta de Capezzana by Conte Contini Bonacossi, ‘06 harvest.

hey GV: how about pairing some wines with those cheeses? I’d even be into seeing food+wine matches… just an idea…

Gary – I like cheese. I go to Vt to buy cheese. I don’t watch WL to learn about frickin’ cheese. No wine, no questions, no napkins??? Dude, get a grip. That was really, really lame. Sorry – somebody has to be honest with you. “Interesting episode” – these people are pulling your *&^(. Think Ellen will have you back to do a cheese segment. Get real. OK, take the weekend off and relax. Next week we want 5 shows focusing on WINE. thx

QOTD: swiss, muenster. *shrug* Lots of olive oils that I like and experiment with (I cook with lots of olive oil). Incidentally, I like to make my own olive oil blends; I usually infuse mine with herbs, always a bit of fresh ground chipotle and a touch of fresh ground black pepper, maybe some cilantro, usually some diced scallions & garlic, and then whatever else strikes me, maybe basil or rosemary (or both). Gotta have that nice smooky red chipotle in there though.

Vaynerchuk-E-Cheese(icouldntresist) I wish cheese liked me as much as I like it. Some things are better left to other people. But it’s Friday and I’m kicking it with a bottle of Pinot and one of the best NY steaks I’ve tasted in years. Enjoy London with those Claret chugging blokes.

QOTD:
I do like 4 and 6 year old Canadian Black Diamond Cheddar but since I just returned from Burgundy I have developed a fondness for Epoisses de Bourgogne AOC.

Fantastic stuff, Gary. Glad to see you follow up the pizza from yesterday with some cheese (since you took it off the pie!) Your vlog helped inspire me to do a podcast for my own website. Watch your shows every night. Keep up the great work.

Great idea for an episode.

QOTD: My favorite cheese is taleggio, nice and stinky yet mild in flavor. As for olive oil its kind of like mustards for me it depends heavily on the situation.

Just wanted to let you guys know that the quicktime version does not work right now. The quicktime link as well as itunes will not download the video. It says that a password is needed.

*Goes back to lurking*

Good show. Very cool.
QOTD: I’m a cheese-whore, and do it all. My wife loves a french cheese called Dauphin. I tend to be a rich-and-creamy-and-stinky kind of guy if I’m eating it straight. But unlike you, I like the crappy mozza on pizza too. Olive oil: Bardi from Tuscany for the goods, and Borges [Spanish] for cooking.

Really liked the show. I love cheeses too and fortunately a great wine and cheese shop opened by me about a year ago. So I have definately been exploring more artisan cheese this year. Gary, you went up one more notch in my book today as I too love port and cheese. My friends think I am crazy but it is one of my great pleasures.

QOTD: Stilton, Pt Reyes Blue, cave aged gruyere, parmagiano reggiano, triple cream anything and goats milk torte just to name a few.

QOTD: Fave cheese is a lavender white cheddar that I pick up from our local wine/cheese merchant. Fave olive oil is anything from Sciabica’s.

I really don’t have a palette for cheese Everything exotic that I’ve ever tried seemed way too strong and harsh for me. I guess I’m more of a mozzarella and “cheese-string” fan.
