If you like oysters, come to the Oyster Festival, in where else…Oyster Bay Long Island. You can Google it, it’s no joke.

QOTD: Any Spumante and a nice piece of Key Lime Pie.

QOTD: Favorite wine food pairing:

2002 R&H Phillips EXP Syrrah with steak and mashed potatoes.

QOTD: Any wine which makes helps pull together the people around the table. It doesn’t even have to be a good wine for that, just interesting together with food so that people start talking about it.

QOTD: Parrillada Argentina and Malbec.

Oregon Jim
Pate and Kestrel’s Columbia Valley Merlot, Osso Buco and most good Barolos, Cuban cigars and LBV Oporto, Aged gouda and Napa Cab, Wild NW Chinook salmon and a Willamette Valley single vineyard Pinot Noir. I could go on with whites and rose. There is no way to pick a best. Wine and food are so intertwined. All I can say is if they make a good wine there, then drink local wines with the food from there.

QOTD: I’ve always had a thing for coco tasting wines when paired with raspberry chocolate truffles. Last night, inspired by the Dolcetto episode, I strolled to the local Liquor Mall and picked up the Grimaldi. On the way back home I stopped into the sweet shoppe and grabbed four beautiful raspberry truffles and headed home to the lady.

It made for a lovely Monday evening.

Is it wrong to just comment without answering the QOTD in hopes of the yellow wristband?

I’m too young to drink… but my parents tend to like Zinfandel with Salmon

QOTD: I don’t have an all-time favorite. Recently I discovered a spicy Caesar salad with calamari and Torrontes

OK, so that pretty yellow wrist band got me to de-lurk…

Lost of pairings get me excited, but there’s something about the intensity of cheese combined with port or sherry that I find compelling, especially if there’s an assortment of nuts, fruit and so forth to go along with a wide variety of cheeses. With that on the table, who needs a main course?

But I did have a nice Sandford Pinot Noir with fresh caught pan fried trout a while back, and it was superb.

QOTD: It’s a tie, same wine which would be a nice Cabernet paired with
either some quality chocolate or a medium rare steak.

Favorite Pairing: Darby’s Mouvedre and Gary V!!!

Ha ha. Just kidding.

I’m kind of partial to blue cheese and port, but that’s just me…had a great night with some pepper jack and a $5 riesling, though!

Favourite wine/food/occasion pairing: Happily, our extended family are all hooked on turkey and riesling. Makes for wonderful holiday and reunion gatherings, happy, happy campers.

so basically your 89pt barrier is all about whether you like it or not. Its always “its a good wine, well made, just not my style/cup of tea/pallet … imma give this baby an 89.” so maybe make 2 score categories; a quality/fidelity/effort/value score, and then your pallet’s score.
