As a child I enjoyed Mom’s Cherry pie more than anything.

Now is it is Key Lime Pie but Mom’s pie runs a very close second.

Am intrugied by the wine of the month, will be contacting your staff. Thanks as always.

Wow, I always wanted to try a Tokai but now I really might try a Sauterne first. Great show but what you should really compare this with is a self-baked ginger bread house. They retain more of their original tasty flavour.

QOTD: Tiramisu

Excellent idea. I love making gingerbread houses.

Just came across your site by chance and watched this show. I saved this site to my Fav’s even before the show finished. Outstanding!!

By the way…some gingerbread houses are not meant to be eaten…nearly fell on the floor when you punched it though…LOL!!!

Gary, fun show,creme brulee can be great when it’s not like custard,Mcconnells vanilla bean ice cream out of Santa Barbara is easily the best I’ve had(our home-made with a White Mountain hand crank is a distant second)and my wife’s apple pie is not only a beautiful work of art but an orgy of butter,cinnamon and fresh green apples with a golden crust made from scratch. How about a show with a variety of potato chips such as Kettle Brand Spicy Tai and Backyard Barbaque or whatever. I very much enjoyed the Bordeaux segments, I could tell mister Rolland was a little threatend and intimidated.(as the great Ron Burgundy says “don’t try to act like your not impressed”)

Go Tomasallo wines! Their Cranberry wine makes an awesome Cosmopolitan!
Challenging show – what goes with Gingerbread? man… milk? haha.

How about a breads and wine tasting? French, raisin cinnamon, Hawaiian sweet bread, and bread sticks from Domino’s. smile. haha.

How about a chef make 3 seafood appetizers – and you compare to whites.

How about a cigar and wine tasting (outdoors) show.

How about a

Gary,
We like the Tomasello Rasberry wine much better than the blueberry (which I won’t even buy, ever). The Rasberry would have made a much better pairing with a gingerbread but it would have been best with a creme brulee.

I love creme brulee and tiramisu.

Hello from the UK!

The Thunder Show rocks! Even if I can’t get hold of most of the wines here in Europe it’s inspirational to watch.

Suggestion: A Barolo blind tasting, and/or some value Nebbiolo-based wines (Gattinara etc.)

Happy Holidays!

Definitely hot fudge sunday. Then a glass of warm port… so nice.

I like simple, old school, french stuff like creme brulee and tart au citron. But I recently discovered a recipe for a super old fashioned mid west dessert called vinegar pie which is basically a lemon tart made with apple cider vinegar rather than lemon juice and sprinkled with cinnamon. Sounds kinda gross but is %*$&*# awesome! But just some fresh ripe fruit is good too. Or and old port or Pedro Jimenez Sherry.

QOTD: When at home, believe or not, i’ll have Sauternes or Port.
At a restaurant, i’ll have Ice cream or Creme Brulee, because Sauternes or Vintage Port are very expensive!!!…:)
Nothing beats a Sauternes…i’m piling up on those 2001, 2003 and 2005!!!!

Chocolate Mousse is good, so is a bowl of blackberries with whipped cream.
