    Carmenere!!!!-this grape just doesn’t excite me at all. I can go on a malbec kick, and rah-rah for south america, but carmenere? Its like smoking a red pack and drinking cheap zin.

    QOTD: okay so its straight up chocolate, but packaged as a bar: Hachez 77% Dark Chocolate. Yes it is the stuff dreams are made of.

    Today’s episode would have made an AWESOME Secret Pack! Imagine getting four red wines in the mail with a bunch of candy bars to taste along with GV! That would ROCK!

    Great idea and great show!

    Favorite candy bars: Violet Crumble. Gary, trust me on this one, especially if you love honey. This is an Australian candy bar and might be a bit harder to find here in the States, but it’s definitely worth it. People seem to either love this bar or hate it.

    Other favorites: Baby Ruth, Whatchamacallit, Heath, 100 Grand, Twix, and Butterfinger. Top 7, right? :) Alright, if I’m on a desert island or stuck in Detroit and can only have one candy bar, I’m going Baby Ruth… easier to find than Whatchamacallit.

    Think the Lions will go 0-16? I think so, but I hope not… that’s just bad. Jets defense let me down in fantasy, though Barton has been playing like a beast! See ya on twitter: http://www.twitter.com/suedecrush

    Thanks for another great episode. I must mention again that I think it’s time for a Madeira episode with a good vintage Madeira at the end. Please?
    qotd: nutrageous. I love most of the peanut butter/chocolate combinations.

    My 16 year old is psyched to watch this episode! Dinner first, however.

    JudeMurphy- Callebaut chocolate out of Canada is phenomenal and is used in at least one american companies’ chocolates that I know of. (Belgium should never have sent the founder away!)…

    HAHA I love the ending there Gary lol….those wines all sound great….I need to start drinking more wines to clear out my cellar so I can start buying more :)

    QOTD:
    -I am going to go with any quality bar that is 70% cacao or more and I usually will digg it….I like the bitter dark chocolates yummm :)

    Awesome episode! When I taste wine, I drink the same bottle over a course of 3-4 days. Since I generally cook different food each night, I try the same wine in 3-4 different contexts. It’s great! One of the contexts I like to try for each wine is with a candy bar – just like this episode!

    QOTD: Reeses. I know it’s not really a candy bar, but it’s just so good.

    Great show GV, although you’ve lost all credibility with my wife, doing an entire show on candy bar pairings… :) … No matter, she’s not a wine drinker anywho…

    QOTD: Coffee Crisp all the way baby!!

    How can you eat all of those candy bars?

    QOTD: Hershey with almonds

    Really really good show, Gary, an absolute classic!! I really enjoyed it.
    Unfortunately in my experience all american chocolate is disgusting! You’ve got to get some proper European Choccy quick! ; )
    My favorite bar is Bournville and I eat it with wine all the time!

    QOTD: Cadbury or Chunky fruit and nut if I ate candy bars which I don’t.

    Kind of a bait and switch with the beard.
