Thank you very much for saluting my country. Panama is a very nice place to visit and to live in. I’m proud to say that my local wine store sells 2005 Chateau Margaux!! The price is $1400. They also carry Chateau Margaux from other vintages at prices like $600, but to know that they carry the ‘05 since about two months ago makes me feel that this country is important. They also sell Petrus, Ch. Haut Brion, Ch. Latour, etc. Should come visit us some day. Thanks Gary.

QOTD: We are big fans of Italian food & wine. Our favorite is my Sunday Gravy with meatballs the size of tennis balls, hot Italian sausage and the key ingredient pork necks bone for unbelievable flavor teamed with a Chianti Reserva.

Still don’t like the new mike arrangement.

QOTD: Castello Banfi Centine and Chicago-style pizza. The Sangiovese/Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot blend just rocks when it meets the tomato sauce topped pizza.

QOTD: Pink Champange with a white fish and blackberry/raspberry glaze… because real men drink pink!

QOTD: Either a crisp Pinot Grigio (say, from Chateau Julien) with shellfish or white fish, ora Bordeaux (or a Claret or anything in that style) with a great medium-rare grass-fed steak. A crisp pinot grigio pairs perfectly with a pan-roasted, lightly-seasoned filet halibut or tilapia, and works wonders with clams, oysters, shrimp, and crab. Yes, Bordeaux and steak is a standard combo, but it’s classic for a reason: it just works.

Of course, there’s always red sangria and tapas . . .

I don’t know about all time but the other day I had a really nice ‘06 Turley Old Vines, which was drinking much softer and fresher than expected and it went really well with a Veal Marsala dish that night.

QOTD: I feel stupid saying it, but I’m so new to wine I’m still trying to establish my palate and what I like…so I don’t have any combinations yet! Not advanced enough! But with your guidance I’ll get there!

QOTD: I’m going to have to go with a Monastrell paired with a thick steak, cooked medium-rare along side some mashed potatoes and garlic-Parmesan green beans. I’m salivating.

QOTD – a grilled Ribeye steak topped with chipoltle butter (homemade and fabulous as it melts over the steak) and 2004 Flora Springs Trilogy

QOTD: Cab and steak, two great tastes that go great together.

Octopi are very intelligent animals. We should all try to rock the octopus salad a little less.

Try some home made Thai Satay sticks (made with fillet steak!), a spicy peanut curry sauce and a bottle of Venaccia di San Gimignano – a delicious crisp Tuscan white.

If you like your steaks rare and unadorned, pair it with a Portuguese Red based on the Baga grape varietal. I like the wines from Luis Pato. Be prepared for a world heavyweight boxing bout though. Both are going to want to rule the show.

Gary…Always great to see you flashin’ the passion’ thanks for a great show…have you thought about trying different types of oysters with the different wines to see how that changes things?

QOTD: Possibly my favorite pairing is MÃ¼ller-Thurgau and Boursin garlic cheese on a thin pretzel cracker with a thin slice of red pepper and cucumber. Thinking about this just makes my mouth water…the acidity of the MÃ¼ller-Thurgau cuts through the soft creaminess of the cheese and it’s so completely addictive.
