That was a fun episode to watch. I got more laughs from it than any other that I have seen.

I have always loved good coffee ice cream!
Flour less chocolate cake is first choice when eating out.

Thanks!

GV you’re the shizzle man! Ginger bread houses and wine! You’ve got to be joking! I love it man. Hey, I just wanted to say this is Thomas out in Arizona (big fan and always at the SF parties) Thanks for the episodes with Erik and Maynard. They are pumping up the AZ wine scene and I really loved the show that day. I wish I would have known you were in town. We would have hooked your ace up with some good eats and tastes at the cellar at Aj’s in Mesa. Love your work man, keep it up! Hope to see you soon.

Great show…and will definately have to hunt down some of the Chateau Rabaud-Promis…though coming from England I must admit I dont know what the relationship between Gingerbread Houses and Christmas is. To be fair Ive never even seen a gingerbread house full stop…odd!

QOTD: Chocolate Fudge Cake and Cream,…….delish!

Mott was born in New Brunswick, alright! Representing central Jersey here!

QOTD: I like a bowl of fresh seasonal berries with marscopone cheese custard on top. Mmmmmmmm, it’s difficult to get this in the winter time though.

QOTD: Cheesecake. No strawberry’s, no blueberry’s no chocolate sauce or whip cream or any other frivolity. Just awesome “New York Cheese Cake” Go Bills:-)

Not big on dessert, ice cream kind of guy. Vanilla mostly. Pretty boring I know.

I like things that are not too sweet. And no berry sauces or nuts!

Or a good scotch.

-Try a Gewurtz with the house- I was at a local winery that paired ginger snap cookies with their gewurtz and it was eye opening. The spices complement each other perfectly. Don’t know how the sweetness of the house would do, though.

-I actually like the “spilly-spill” better than your facial reaction!

-I’ve had the Tomasello cranberry, and it had some interesting nuances for being 100% cranberry- again nothing too complex, but it was a great substitute for the juice in a cosmopolitan!

QOTD: CHEESECAKE!!

I’m gonna try that last one there Homeslice. Looks like you enjoyed that.

Speaking of slices….QOTD: Red Velvet Cake!!! That’s my all time favorite because I make it better than anyone…..yes, even Magnolia or Who Eva!!!

Maybe I’ll make one for you and you can try it on the show.

I like Strawberry Shortcake in the summer when we can get good strawberries and I like Creme Brulee the other nine months of the year.

I love the demolished gingerbread house. That’s the best part of making the gingerbread house is getting to tear it apart.

QOTD: I am a huge fan of cupcakes. Little bit size cakes… and maybe I can even have more than one? Oh so good.

Just had the chance to view the last several shows, and missed the list of your recommended wines. Is the list available somewhere?

May have to try the Sauterne.

QOTD: Blue Bell Ice Cream – Fav flavors are Cookies & Cream or Peaches and Homemade Vanilla. Nothing better!!!

QOTD: Too hard to choose between my two favorites: Red Velvet Cake & Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

Love the Rhubarb, good stuff. Good show, you have us wanting to try the ‘05 Chateau Rabaud Promis, it sounds very good.
