    QOTD: couldn’t possibly choose between Mounds or Sky Bar; Sky Bar is getting hard to find, though, and it only has 4 sections these days—I’m sure it used to have 5 sections in the old days. Great old-fashioned candy bar!
    Carmenere is a wonderful varietal, but like many Chilean wines, it’s hit-or-miss. Some bottles/vintages/labels have awesome black fruit and cacao, some are just bland and boring. But I agree that these can be amazing values, and perfect with BBQ, too.

    Good dark chocolate is my fave. But I do have a weakness for Junior Mints and Milk Duds. Perusia chocolate bon bons are fun. It’s too hard to choose.

    QOTD: Today I will say Twix. My palate changes with candy bars too.

    I’m not a fan of chocolate and wine.

    Candy bars: Classic Toblerone.
    Chocolate: Lindt intense orange.
    Really serious chocolate: artisan 70+% organicly grown chocolates from my local chocolatier

    On the sidenote: Manner 60% cooking chocolate has the most amazing texture I have ever encountered. The smoothness is unparalleled even by Lindt. This is simply the texture made in heaven. It has, however that typical, pesky Manner “too fresh” taste I have no Idea where they get it from.

    Gary’s gonna have a hell of a sugar buzz!

    Personally, I’m not a “candy-bar” lover. I tend to stick to darker chocolates, 78% coco and up. It tends to go very well with Port and/or coffee (black). I must admit however, that I do have a soft spot for Reese’s and Toblerone. I should try pairing them with vino.

    Cheers!

    Sorry about your Jets – nothing worse than sitting out in the cold and rain watching your team get sliced and diced.

    QOTD: Toss up between Hersey’s with Almonds or Chunky.

    Great show. I swear that the moment I logged into the site I was drinking Turnbull 2005 Cabernet with a Dark Chocolate Toblerone. It was delicious and a hilarious coincidence.

    QOTD: Right now I’m really into Green & Black’s chocolate bars. Also, don’t hate on Three Musketeers! It’s simple and delicious.

    QOTD: For regular candy bars I’d go Peanut Butter Kit Kat. But give me the darkest chocolate you can find in one of the fancy expensive Euro bars and I’ll be happy.

    GV, I think you got ‘Battlehorse’ by mixing War Horse and Battle Cat, probably because Ram Man.
