Gotta head to the wine store and check out that Mollet.
QOTD: A good, aged 2 inch thick salt and herb seasoned ribeye seared on a 700 degree grill with a HEAVY/SPICY tuscan or or a BIG cab that can stand up to that kind of flavor. runner up: rare mint/herb crusted rack o lamb with a spicy chianti. -Lots of ying and yang there on that one.

Easy QOTD! Chalk dry blanc de blancs- like Guy Charlemagne- with sushi. The flower bottle PJ (friend got it when he quit a bar job) rocked it with the raw fish and vinegar rice, too.

Also, tapas and sherry. My mom tried sherry for the first time in her life this spring and loved it. She can be finicky about wine but she took to it right away.

QOTD: Most memorable was a Boone’s Farm and Big Mac’s
in the back of my chevy van with Suzy Clarke in 1975.
More recently though I go with pizza and petite Syrah.

QOTD: This summer, I have been really enjoying vinho verde with grilled lemon/garlic shrimp. Light and refreshing. Perfect on the deck.

QOTD- I am of the opinion that Italian wines go extremely well with Italian food almost without fail.

I’m glad you did Sancerres. Pretty reliable wine.
Pleased to hear about Panama – I was born in the Canal Zone.
QOTD: I’ve been to many wine and food tastings, but have never found a really great pairing. At home and at restaurants I usually just eat what I want to eat and drink what I want to drink. I haven’t yet had that fabulous experience of a food and wine pairing that enhance each other so much as to raise the meal to a different level.

QOTD: This is a pretty baisic one, but i spent time in spain in the summer of 2005, when i just turned 21, so my pallete was still very young, i fell in love with the pairing of manchego cheese and rioja. the subtle dry/nuttyness with a underlieing creaminess of the cheese was a nice ballance to the fruitiness and tanic back end to the riojas i tried while there.

Recently, I made Ostrich (rare of course) with Broccoli rabe and Escarole, finished it off with a great porcini sauce… I chose a Syrah (JC Cellars Estate wine)from Frediani Vineyard’s in Napa (06). The alcohol was a little on the heavy side (16.2%), decanted it for 3 hours. WOW! Outstanding. Lots of forward black fruits, and lingering to the end! On the mid palate, the wine was a little leathery, but it was a great pairing.

QOTD: Zin and rich fudgy chocolate cake. As a backup, classic Cali Cab and marinated grilled thin sliced flank steak.

QOTD: I love a good steak and Australian Shiraz, but my all time favourite is a dessert wine like Sauternes and a creamy blue cheese. YUM!

QOTD: There’s too many combinations for me to pick just one. I am a huge fan of Sancerre and think it works with most shellfish. I do love Chateau Montelena’s Reisling with grilled halibut. Have fun at the Chateau, it’s one of my favorite wineries.

hmm, I think a really good pizza with a zinfandel has been a consistent winner for me. also a fan of thai food with any alsatian white.

Been a lurker for a while, and decided to post my first WLTV comment today. Great show – looking forward to episodes 499 and 500. When you gave some love to Panama in this episode, I thought you were going to be giving big ups to old-school Van Halen! Anyway, QOTD: my favorite wine & food combo would probably be rather unimaginative: steak (new york strip) and a cab or zinfandel. Keep up the thunderous work!
