GREAT show…and I don’t say that too easily. I love that you added food into the show.

Gary, with this new camera angle can you do a show that shows the rest of the WLTV offices and store? Give us the grand tour and show us where it all happens, who the players are and where the thunder is made.

QOTD – My favorite cheese is St. Agur. It’s super creamy and has a good bite.

Hey Gary, I think its really fun to read a couple comments. I usually read a few pages of them myself. I love the educational shows, esp when they include Italian wines, as they are some of my faves these days.

QOTD: I am not too particular on my pairings, I try to limit them to special occasions anyway as I am trying to keep my heart healthy!

Bellissimo!! That was a great ep. I’ve never seen you rewind before erofeb dniwer rewind before.

Funny you should mention Nero d’Avola, I just picked one up today from a place just outside of the NW metro in MN – huge huge sales every wine is at least 20 – 70% off, seriously if you are in MN find Westside Liquor (don’t worry Gary it’s not competition we can’t buy from outside the state unless it’s from a winery anyway ).

QOTD: I’ve never really tried to pairing wine and cheese.

I’m really enjoying the comment section at the beginning of the show. It’s a great addition. I am an Italian wine fan but I wasn’t really familiar with this region, so I’m looking forward to trying it.

I try to keep the comments focused on wine but since you talked about it, I’ll mention it. I’m glad the Jets are out on TO. I think he is a cancer wherever he goes and I down want him messing with the chemistry. I’ll be at the wine event on Sunday so hopefully we can talk some Jets.

QOTD – I’m a big blue cheese fan. There are a few VT and CT blues I like. I usually like to pair blue cheese with a nice spicy Zin.

QOTD:

I enjoy a dess- strike that. I enjoy the wines formerly known as dessert wine but now known as sweet wine, i.e. sauterne with a stilton or I do enjoy shropshire. I enjoy the sweet/tart combination.

Gary:
I don’t miss your show and really love it. One comment though (and it happened in this show too) when you mention Italian food and wine pairing you tend to mention Italian-American food (e.g. Veal Parmesan) or other more generic descriptions (i.e. pasta). I think that you’d help yourself to get a little more background into true Italian regional cuisine and particularly of the region where the Italian wine you are pairing is from.

Thanks

Great show–as always. I meant to mention this some time ago, but forgot. In the event you spoke about this already please forgive me ’cause I missed that episode of WLTV. I was watching one of your earlier episodes where you went off with praise for the Torbreck Run Rig. During that episode you compared the wine in some respects to the Garretson “The Bulladoir” Syrah. I decided to seek it out and saw where the Garretson winery has closed shop. As I searched around for info I couldn’t help but notice all the good press garnered by the winery over the years….definitely a disappointment that it had to shut down. Anyway, I was wondering if you had a comment or any info regarding what happened. Cheers!!

Great job today. I always like to hear about less known wine, grapes and areas.

QOTD: I go with an obvious pairing: Warre’s Optima 10 yr Port and Stilton.

The Tuma Persa is amazing. Great cheese (and this is from the girl who really doesn’t like it all that much)!

QOTD: Don’t really have a favorite as I don’t like cheese much, but I have to say that the Tuma went well with the 2007 Abbazia di Novacella Kerner (white) and went even better with the 2006 Sierra Salinas Mo (red). Very versatile cheese that’ll even please fickle cheese eaters like myself.

Hey Gary

Loving the return to the traditional WLTV approach! Its good to see you interacting with your peeps again. Sending you an international shout out from PANAMA!
WLTV has pushed me to appreciate wine to greater degree, and most of all expanding my pal! Just the other day I tried a Bulgarian dry red from the Thracian Valley…. its all about learning and going through new expriences and extrapolating a sense of place, and the love behind wines.

QOTD: Albarino (Santiago Ruiz) with cured Manchego

QOTD: I don’t really have one. I am an equal oppurtunity wine and cheese consumer.

QOTD: Although I’ve had many cheeses and wines, especially since my husband and I buy 35 bottles of different wine every couple months from WineLibrary, I always go back to the delicious Beemster Classic cheese and Feital Alvarinho Dorado (from episode #412). Will you ever get the Dorado back in stock again???… or what similar wine do you recommend?

Thanks Gary, you rock!

P.S. Congrats on you and Liz getting pregnant, yay!

QOTD: 2002 Ch. Carbonnieux Blanc with goat gouda, the cat pee aroma, lemony flavors, and lanolin softness of the wine make the savory flavors of the goat’s milk explode in your mouth.

QOTD: A pascal jolivet Pouilly Fume 2004 with a disk of Boucheron goat cheese was awesome.

Gary, I fully agree that tea is an amazing beverage…perhaps one day of TeaLibraryTV? Another thunderous episode (action figures, new camera angle, cool wines..) Thanks for the show!

First time commenter!!! Gary, My wife and I have just started drinking wine about 2 months ago, and have really enjoyed trying a different wine each week. I stumbled upon your video blog while looking for podcast on zune marketplace, and have been hooked ever since. Each night my wife and I drink a glass of wine, we always start off with the “sniffy sniff”!

Neat little exploratory show today! These are some of my favorites (I got hooked on most of the early episodes like this, b/c everything was fresh waaayyyyyy back then)! GV, when the local wine shops only carry the more well-known regions, your tastings and commentary allow me to learn and create an ‘experience’ in my memory, which really helps me to remember the wines (or region).

QOTD: A toughy (mostly b/c I’m poor)!!! Jonesy tawny port & maytag blue cheese always makes my buds twinkle. I like maytag a bit better than stilton b/c it’s a bit creamier (and often less expensive!).

Still having viewing problems! And you switched comments back to the multiple page method, requiring me to hit play every time I finish a page’s comments.

Whenever you ask what cheese is my favorite, my mind breaks. For the simple sake of answering, I could say my fave combos are Chevres, like Banon, with Sauvignon Blanc (from anywhere, but since you don’t dig on the Californians, let’s just keep it REAL, and say Loire Valley. (this instant..).

Or anything with grower/producer Champagne.

Hello Vino
Wow, very cool to see rare Italian wines like Teroldego. Love the Tuma Persa cheese pairing!

QOTD: Absolutely love to pair Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (try 2005 Screw Kappa Napa) with Dubliner Aged Cheddar.

Let’s jump right in to the qotd: Any high quality aged &/or stinky cheeze, with a musty/musky red from anywhere. Smell it first. TR from Reno

My wife was rolling out of her chair when you read about my facebook comment. Great show, liking this “tour of Europe” week.

QOTD: 2005 Chateau Fagueues with some Roqueford……..
BTW: I did friend you on FanPage!

Great show! I didn’t care for Lagrein or Schiava, but you’ve made me want to give Trentino reds another try. And I’m going to order some of that cheese while it’s still cool enough for shipping.

I thought the comment reading was a nice novelty, but maybe not every show–keep us guessing!

QOTD: You wanted specific? Käerei Holtsee aged Tilsiter with ‘92 C.H. Berres Riesling Spätlese, Ürziger Würzgarten. A match made in heaven! Stilton and Port is a classic, but I prefer Amarone–walnuts optional.

QOTD: Dessert wine (whooops! I mean sweet wine such as Port or some sort of sweet white wine) and any brand of Blue Cheese – esp. Rouqefort (sp.?). Great episode Gary – we’ll have to give them a try!

Great show Gary! Reading of the viewer comments brings me back to the early days of WLTV – keep it up.

QOTD: Nothing fancy – fresh mozzarella and a nice Chianti Classico.
