I don’t know if I have one – but enjoy crackers ( like wheat thins) with cheese or humus (garlic varieties) with just about any wine. Sipping some Argentina wine – La Posta 2006 Cocina Blend blend – Malbec, bonarda(?) & Syrah with the very exotic Wheat Thins….it’s ALL good !! Thanks for expanding my palate GV !!

I am in a wine tasting group that conducted a wine/oyster tasting experiment about a year ago. We had a couple of different varieties of oysters, and tasted them with several different highly regarded wines from: Sancerre, Chablis, Champagne, and Muscadet. To our collective surprise, Champagne was the general concensus as the best combination…and by a substantial margin. The crispness, minerality, acidity, and perhaps most of all the purity and cleaniness of the Champagne made the decisive difference. I love raw oysters, and now my wine of choice with them is Champagne….unless of course, I’m at the gulf coast where beer rules!

QOTD: The best food/wine combination I’ve ever had was Chateau Yquem and Fois Gras.

Dude, you need to lose the microphone. When you are in your office, there is no problem hearing you. When you do the show from the road, wear the microphone. Seriously man, it sounds weird. Lose it.

QOTD: I haven’t had much experience in pairing wine with food, often i am pairing steak with a zin or shiraz. But one night i went out to try this new steakhouse out, and tried a wine that i had not heard of before with my filet mignon and wow, did the two ever go together. I wish i could remember what it was, i’m sure it was a shiraz and boy did it ever have flavor. With the tender juicy steak and the massive flavor of the wine I was in heaven.

About 7 years ago on a cruise I tried a wonderful dessert wine, don’t remember the name but it tasted like apricots, tangerines & oranges. Very Sweet, but oh so good. Had it with a Grand Mariner souffle. Just call me the tooth fairy because I like my wine and dessert SWEET!!!
Gary have you ever thought of hosting a Wine Themed cruise? My husband and I cruise a lot and have taken several wine tasting classes, but we just couldn’t understand the “Wine Snobs” as you call them. Thanks to I Pod I found your web show and have been watching you since July 4th. I have learned more from you than I ever did from those classes. Congrats to you and your staff for 500 shows!!! I love your show and will be watching every day.
