nice idea for a programme…the sauternes are great most of the time, but why not try other sweet white wines like Jurançon?
favourite dessert : belgian chocolate mousse, what else for a Belgian? )

Isn’t Michele Chiarlo pronounced like “zucchini” with the “ch” having a k sound….more like “Mee-KEH-leh Kee-AHR-low”??

Can someone help me out with this one!!

Thanks.

Nice idea for a show…. I had a feeling the Sauternes was going to take the crown. Of course I am biased because I love Sauternes. QOTD: Flourless chocolate cake paired with a 20 year port or better. Thats just heaven to me.

my moms really rich chocolate moose cake. so rich that I probably gain a pound after eating a slice.

mascato d’asti is really popular in my circles.

Just watched the show, as usual, great show. My wife loves Moscato. It the only she will drink.

QOTD- I like a few chocolate chip cookies after dinner. Just something simple and sweet.

QOTD: My favorite dessert…I think it depends on the time of year, but I generally like pies. Key Lime in warm months, pecan pie with brandied whipped cream in cool months. Throw in some of grandma’s Christmas cookies, a derby pie, rice pudding, and I think I’ve got the dessert bases covered.

For AM

I am not Gary, but I would say, any wine that tastes like it would be a good topping on the cheesecake would be a good wine to drink with it. Berries? Milk chocolate? What turns your crank?

QOTD
favorite dessert is a small and very intense chocolate truffle (see vosges).

I’m too lazy to scroll through all the comments, but i’ve always thought plummy wines were a good compliment to ginger. More of an old world guy than new world but still, they all have their place. Anyone?

Hey Gary…first off I think you are totally CRAZY! in a good way of course. I have been watching you for a while, actually February of this year and this is my first comment. I love that you are incredibly knowledgeable of wines and I did want to you ask you a question. My favorite dessert is new york cheesecake…no frills plain new york cheesecake. I was wondering what is a wine that you would recommend for that. I just finished watching this episode and I know you love the CHateau Rabaud Promis but are there any others that you would pair with cheesecake? Thanks.
