    Great Episode!
    I totally get this show. I love dark chocolate with Cabs and milk chocolates with Pinot Noirs.
    QOTD – My all time favorite is Chunky; I have never tried it with wine, but come to think of it the raisins in it would probably hit it out of the park!
    (Going to Walgreens to pick up a bar)

    Where is your beloved whatchamacallit??? my fave is definitely Milky Way Midnight, the dark chocolate variety.

    Good show GV. But where’s the dark chocolate?

    QOTD: Mars bar – where can you find them? Non candy bar: Lindt Excellence – Intense Pear… awesome w/ Carignane.

    QOTD: The ultimate candy bar in my book is 3 Musketeers. Simple works best for me when it comes to a bar of candy.

    Hi Gary,

    Coincidentally actually met Alberto Guadagnini (owner of Casalli di Bibianno) just last week in Costa Rica, he was down visiting, divides his time between Italy and Philadelphia, where he now lives part time.

    I loved the Argante (scored it 92 blind) and you should check out the all cabernet (Ginesio) and their other sangiovese blend at low price is good (Casalone).

    Sorry bout your Jets, we’re gonna catch you next week…

    QOTD: good ‘ol Snickers…

    Gary – I also thought the Broncos were faking injuries, although with the number of real injuries they’ve had this season, who knows…
    I just wish they could play all their games on the road now though, they seem to do much better away from Mile High (which is weird)

    u can eat all that candy & still do a show? i’d like to see the inside of the bucket after this show. QOTD: twix.

    OSCAR FALCON LARA

    QOTD: My favorite candy bar, favorite above all would be a lindt chocolate bar, followed close by by a Kinder chocolate stick ( or chocolate egg )

    Super cool show. We always have chocolates, candied milk balls, nougat rolls and fruit jams when we serve wine, it just sits well.

    Fascinating episode. QOTD: Reeses & nerds (but not together!). Being from Ohio, of course the Buckeye candy is very similar to the Reeses. I think the peanut butter aspect would make for an interesting wine pairing. Any suggestions? I also opened my first zork today! I liked it.

    So I’m thinking that you have never thought of doing this show until you woke up this morning and realized that you were extremely down about the JETS loss. You thought, I don’t want to do the Thunder Show today, I just want to sleep in. Then you thought about just eating chocolate and drinking your sorrows away which led to the pairing of two Comfort Foods, chocalate and alcohol. Brilliant I’ll do the Candy Bar/Wine show. =-)

    Just pickin’ GV! Great show!

    QOTD: 100 Grand

    Definately a tough call, my all time favorite was the short lived cookies and cream twix, but kit kats are pretty close.

    QOTD: There use to be a candybar called Barnone that I loved but never can find them now. Good show!

    QOTD: 3 Musketeers closely followed by Take 5. 3 Musketeers is nice and simple, which I enjoy. Nice job throwing it under the bus there, Gary. Least fav – Butterfinger. The peanut butter stuff always gets stuck in my teeth, very annoying.

    QOTD: Coffee Crisp

    First of all, I’m really jealous that you can eat all that candy and still stay thin! Yikes! Good show; but my favorite wines with chocolate are cabs. Try that some time.
    QOTD: Milkshake (remember those?)

    QOTD:
    Snickers is the best! Go G-men!
