Hmm… all-time favorite pairing? Thats a tough one ’cause I’ve had a number of good ones and a number of bad ones. I’ll just say Breyers ice cream with the dessert wine I had this weekend poured over it: http://corkd.com/wine/view/44595-Alvear_Pedro_Ximenez_Solera_1927

Also, Gary – still not loving the mic. Just doesn’t sound as good when you’re in the office.

Dont know why this worked so well but these small pigs in a blanket *get them from Costco* and some Rock Hollow chardonnay worked awesome together

Tawny port, roasted walnuts and stilton cheese is an amazing combo. So too was a roasted pork loin with an orange glaze paired with a Churchill red out of Portugal.

I had a baked goat cheese with sauted mushrooms paired with a french red wine that freaking killed me. I have never been able to duplicate it because I could not remember the damn wine. The wine was very earthy w/little poop smell but oh boy was it smooth! Loved it so much I told friends to go to this place and try for the same experience…

The mic still isn’t necessary. I like the shirt, though. Don’t know what’s going on there, but I like it.

Cassoulet and Madiran, pizza and Chinon, steak and Gigondas. Oysters and Sancerre sound wonderful but when you’re 1200 miles from the ocean you can’t raise your oyster expectations too high.

Yeah I agree. That microphone is really KILLING THE THUNDER! Instead of getting into the episode, it was kind of like I was watching a boring lecture.

Seriously. I know that may seem extreme or whatever, but something about the “formal” sound really took away from the energy you usually bring. Maybe you were toning it down cause you were worried about blowing the mic?

No more Lavalier Mic!!

Great, great show for this time of season. I have been pounding the NZ SBs (as I am right now) but Sancerre is creme de la creme when it comes to the SB.

QOTD: Goood question. Can I have a couple of them? The easy one is Pacific NW salmon (wild not farm-raised) with an Oregon Pinot followed by a scrumptious seafood paella I make paired with a Spanish Albarino and finally a deep-dish cheesy pizza with a Haywood Zin. My trifecta.

And yes, the new wristband is totally rad. I want one. Your shipping dept is so quick they were not able to get a wristband into my latest order. I guess I need to order some Sancerre.

Have a great trip to Bordeaux and finally to SanFran.

I’ll be watching #500 tripped out on Percoset on Friday since I have “sports hernia” surgery at noon. Your show will bring a smile to my face an ease the pain.

Kudos to 498!

Cheers!
Dom

P.S. Can you get me any ‘05 Reignac?

Finally done lurking. You have invaded my dreams and daydreams. You are a threat to my self employed day. I probably need to spend more time working than running into wine stores, tasting every day, and watching archived episodes. Nonetheless, love what you are doing and glad to be going beyond my old paltry knowledge of wine. It is a delicious problem to have. Congrats on the upcoming 500th show!

QOTD: This time of year, sitting on my roof in the still hot evening, eating a scallop salad with bitter field greens – lots of endive and frisse – with a warmed tart orange dijon dressing paired with a crisp white or rosÃ©. I love a good Bandol rosÃ© when it gets a tiny bit cooler and then I throw some bacon in the salad. So easy to put together and yummmmm.

As always, great show. I like red wine and red meat. I don’t think you can beat a cab with a big steak.

It’s a tossup: Steamed mussels with vinho verde, OR barbera with a simple meal of crackers & salami, prosciutto & gruyere cheese.

Sancerre is such a fickle wine for me. I’ve had too much that I paid too much for w/little satisfaction that I’m a bit discouraged by it.

QOTD: While we’re on Sancerre…how’s about a salad of Asparagus w/a mayo vinnagarette & chopped boiled egg whites. Or, Thanksgiving dinners w/either a nice chewy Zin or a very earthy pinot. Or, or, veggy pizza and a kick-azz cab franc. Or, or, or..a well balanced and not to oaky chard w/some scallops. I could go on and on and on.
