    Thanks for the show, haven’t experimented with Barolo much as the price point is a little high.
    QOTD: Spent 5 months in Sicily and fell in love with all the pasta dishes but have to say the breads were my favorite. I was there in 1986 and oh how I wish I had drank wine back then. Makes me sick to think of all the great wine I could have drank up in the mid 80s when I spent so much time in Spain, Italy and Sicily.

    I love the Italian wines, thanks for shedding light on the Barolos. Glad to have you back in familiar surroundings.

    QOTD: pizza, and if you really want to know. Coccia House pizza… look it up, they ship anywhere in the lower 48. Best pizza around.

    I was very envious to see you tasting these wines… I’ve been looking for good ‘04 Piedmontese wines (… and I’d appreciate you keeping it kinda quiet! There ain’t a lot of ‘em!)

    Favorite Italian food? I like pasta w/ mushrooms, especially porcini.

    Missed a few episodes, World Curling Playdowns.
    QOTD:
    Oh easy question, nobody knows FAT like the Italians.

    Thanks for the Barolo show. I’ve only had 1 before about 4 years ago. Really enjoyed it and had to Google it to find out what it was. Ended up finding out there was another region in Italy other than Tuscany.

    QOTD: Lasagna

    Got to say lately it’s been gnocchi with a brown butter sage sauce. When I was growing up my mother would make us kids whatever we wanted for dinner on our birthday. I always wanted gnocchi, which I’m sure just thrilled mom – it would take her the entire day to make enough for five kids.

    Great show G. How about a Brunello show in the future?
    Well, I love Lasagna!

    QOTD: It’s all so good, but I’ll have to say lasagna.

    QOTD:What else is there besides pasta. I mean really. Fresh Penne Pasta with olive oil, basil, and parmasan. With a nice vinegrette-ized salad.

    Btw, Gary– Silver falls creamery goat cheese. Heaven on earth. Eat it.

    QOTD: By far, lasagne!

    QOTD: Sausage and Meatballs made by an Italian Grandmother… actually anything by an Italian Grandmother!!!!

    Ive been looking at the Barolo’s in my local ever since I first heard them mentioned on the Thunder Show.. but I am afraid that I am going to have to wait till I’m on a pay roll, because they were way too pricey for this CKC to bear!

    Great show, loved the Seattle episodes.

    QOTD: Great question,very hard to answer!! I would have to say Vitello Tonnato (cold poached veal loin with tuna sauce). Good to have you back, loving the Barolo shows!

    I was going to talk about some fantastic food I had in Rome, but in reality my first and last love (Italian food-wise) is pizza.

    QOTD: it’s all good! And so different from north to south.

    Love the Barolos, but still don’t unerstand the difference between Barbaresco and Barolo. Maybe you could address that in a future episode.

    Bruschetta followed by lasagna. It’s all good though.

    Osso buco with risotto Milanese, baby.

    Q: does the ‘04 vintage extend to Barbaresco too?

    Another solid show Gary. Good to have you back in the office for a little while at least.

    QOTD: Gnocchi with brown butter and parm. Yum!
