First Choice – Cheese: Beehive Cheese’s (Utah…. Yes, Utah! Look them up; they have won national awards two years in a row) Aggiano (their version of a Parmiggiano Reggiano – the name comes from their association with Utah State – the Aggies) and a chardonnay that’s not awash in oak (I’ll bet that the Neyers you recently reviewed would work well). The combination brings out a pineapple flavor that’s impressive.

Second choice, a classic: a tawny port with bleu cheese (have to cheat here and throw in some roasted walnuts too!). Yalumba’s Museum Tawny is always a winner in this pairing, and if you can find some Amana bleu grab it!

Excellent episode, it’s great to see some little known Italian wines make it on. And I hope you do continue to explore the Italians as I think they have so much more diversity than people give the country credit for.

QOTD: parmigiano reggiano and/or pecorino romano cheese with a 1997 or 2000 Rocche dei Manzoni “Vigna d’la Roul” Barolo. Also, for a sangeovese wine, I like most anything from Poggio Amorelli.

You’re allowed to bring some Barolo to your presentation at the Y in 3 days. FYI.

Nice rap, thank goodness for taking a break from people with funny accents. The TEA show? You stole my thunder! I can rap “tea” all day, that’s all I drink, since I was zero. And, back in Italy they got no normal tea, except Lipton. Expanding into the cheese world — excellent idea. We have this crazy street fair in Piedmont, and you get to try like 700 cheeses. There is not an animal they don’t milk! My favorite cheese: pecorino romano from Tuscany (sorry that’s all the details), it is a little crunchy, almost like chewing little crystals of cheese, a little smoke and citrus on the nose, tiny bit of the white truffle stink (not too much), cuts into chunks. Favorite wine paring: Brunello di Montalcino 2003 by Lambardi. http://www.sitoflash.it/lambardi/web/index.cfm?area=2 Big boy cheese with big boy wine. It is almost drug-like.

If I have wine and cheese I’m a happy guy so I don’t get too particular.

Hey Gary, very entertaining show!
I really hope you do more cheese in the coming months, since I’m as big of a fan of cheese as I am of wine. I don’t comment much, but your recent endeavor to read the comments has rekindled my desire to comment, so your gimmick worked!

Another great show. Loved Mont’s stock market comment.

Thanks for the cheeze chuck finale there Gary!

I didn’t taste it, but I definitely saw it fly!

Thunderous!

You seem in an exquisite mood lately. Lots of good vibes. You seem rejuvenated. Whatever the reason, keep riding the wave and bringin’ it.

Never even heard of the Toroldego.

It’s funny that you are doing an Italian show today ’cause up here in Québec, our crown corporation, the SAQ (Société des Alcools du Québec) is having a ‘new arrivals’ festival, welcoming new Italian wine from all over: Tuscanny, Venice, Émilie-Romagne, Sicily. I picked up an interesting Sangiovese, Merlot blend by Umberto Cesari, from Émilie-Romagne which is nice. A little young (2006), but promising. I am enjoying more the Syrah from Bonny Doon called “Le Pousseur”. I have been looking for a Boon product ever since you had Randall on the show. They are hard to come by up here, but I must say, worth the seek. It has got dark fruit and a leather attribute reminiscent of Petit Verdot that I enjoy.
Knowing you are a fan of Petit Verdot, have you ever heard of Mclaren Vale’s Pirramimma, from Australia. I’ve had the 2003 lately and it rocks!

Good to hear that people are leaving more of their thoughts in the comments. Wine is meant to be shared. Your suggestion to the Oklahoma dude was a cool idea. People all over should seek others who share their passion for wine. That is how we discover, by sharing and trading.

Check y’all later!

Gary -

What a cheesetastic show! Bringing the Thunder with grapes and cows milk!

QOTD: I love to dine on cheese and wine (can’t recall anything of the top of my head)!

Good show, although I’m honestly not so into the comment reading. I read them often, but it makes the show too long to watch, and is sorta dull. Just my two cents.
By the way, my friend Pete Hoffmann sent you a couple bottles of his Aum Cellars 2005 Cab yesterday or the day before. Hope you enjoy.
Qotd – A really good pairing recently was the 05 Faiveley Bourgogne (just plain ol burg) with Fleur de Alps, a washed rind stinker. The fruit and funk partied together well.

I’m liking the use of space in this episode, beautiful hint of trees outside the windows behind you Gary.

Tuma Persa Lost Cheese sounds absolutely amazing, beautiful story too.

Jamie Sanford
Gary! You need to do a pairing of vino and some fine NJ cheese.

Yes, there IS fine NJ cheese.

QOTD: Brie combined with a slice of dried fig on a plain water cracker, with a Chateau St. Jean Gewurztraminer (wish I could remember the year) – incredibly delicious.

Cool, thanks Gary

QOTD: I love cheese and love wine so really hard to identify any kind of favourites, but I do like a soft creamy cheeses and for some reason I often find myself drinking sparkling white with it. May as well make it Australian
Clover Hill Vintage Brut and King Island Blue Bree

Cheers
