The Iron Sheik was protecting the bucket until Nikolai Volkoff came in to regulate!

Great episode Gary, I like cheese spin.

QOTD: Asiago cheese and Rioja has been pretty cool in the past, but my recent cheese play is Gouda and Beaujolais!

Bonny Doon Muscat Vin Glacier and cowgirl creamery red hawk or Cypress Grove Chevre lamb chopper

OR

Banyuls Grand Cru, Magneres France and Chaource cheese (or if you’re bold something stinky like Livarot).

Thanks for another good show. I’ll have to see if I can find some of that cheese and some Teroldego.

qotd: I have never found a wine and cheese pairing (that I can remember) that really impressed me. Sometimes they can have complementary flavors, but I haven’t found that “magical” combination where each component makes the other taste better as I have found with some wines paired with some other foods. Any cheese seems to limit my palate when it comes to wine.

Hey Gary, thanks for reading my comment out! I have never had a Teroldego and unfortunately suspect it is close to impossible here in Australia where economies of scale make it impossible to import such wines at a reasonable price.

QOTD: Sorry, not enough of a cheese nerd to know. But so far, I’m more into hard cheeses than stinky ones, so it would probably be the classic Italian pairing of hard cheese with a Chianti or Super Tuscan.

I love a really crunchy riesling, minerally and not too sweet, with the classic-parmesano reggiano. Can’t beat it.

Long time vayniac, first time comment. QOTD: 2005 Wrongo Dongo 100% Monastrell from JUMILLA paired with any goat cheese. PERFECT!

QOTD: French Comte cheese and Palo Cortado sherry (1986 was the vintage I had at the time when I tasted). Amazing pairing and worth the try!

I am big fan of Saint Andre’ cheese and just recently disovered the fresh variety of this which is very runny and delicious. It was great with Schramsburg Blanc De Noir.

Oh…you have also gotta ask whether you are pairing the cheese with the wine OR the wine to match the cheese. Lotsa combinations either way

QOTD: Not sure, but I had some Malbec with a sheep milk cheese and it was great.

Great question i hav to say…
A Sauterness/ Port with a good Blue Stilton.
An awesome combination of sweet viscous & thick mouthfeel with the salty creamyness of Stilton. Just stimulates all taste buds and brings thunder on the palate when you add some grapes to give a good acidic tang!

Hey GV

Big old world red fan. Will seek out the Teroldego now. Thank you.

Re the cheese. Bummer. I love the stuff but find it brings on mucus in me and makes me snore like a bull!

Girlfriend said “it’s me or the cheese”. so I gave it up at New Year, not snored since.

So what I’d like to know, now you’ve paired, chocolate, cheese and candy… what else goes well as a ’snack’ with vino.

I love to open a bottle at 7.30pm, watch TV and sip and nibble.

How about olives, cashews and chips (we call them crisps in the UK). Salty stuff. Or even ’salad’ tomatoes, cucumber, pickled onion…

Any ideas?

Cheers

Gary, I never miss an episode of Wine Library TV. Here’s the weird thing though, I don’t even drink wine. I love food, but have never even tasted wine. I just find your show utterly entertaining. Yeah, you’re that good. Keep up the good work.

Another fine show!

QOTD: All I can say as that usually a Sauternes is involved.

Hey Gary! Great show…thanks for teaching me more about Italian wines. I’m finding I’m an “old world” girl. I like the rustic tastes. You got me onto Dolcetto d’Alba…yum!
QOTD: Poderi Aldo Conterno Il Masante 2004 Dolcetto d’Alba and a plate of pasta with olive oil, garlic and red pepper flakes and a snow of parmigano!

QOTD – Enjoy a little Columbia Cellarmaster’s Riesling with some Cracker Barrel Aged Reserve – or any Riesling for that matter….

Enjoy hearing about different pairing ideas – thanks again….

QOTD: Well, since I’m a sucker when it comes to regional pairings, I’d have to say a young Pecorino Abruzzese paired with a Monti “Pignotto” (Montepulciano d’Abruzzo). When I’m in the area and the timing’s right, I can add my 80 year old aunt’s freshly baked bread or focaccia (in an original wood oven) to the scenario, need I say more? Back to the roots, that’s what it’s all about! For me anyway.

I love Elisabetta Foradori’s wines. After meeting her personally, even more so. Man, she’s hot.

Not sure about that El Bulli analogy, Gary. Maybe you want to save that for a wine that’s actually, you know, very unusual and highly sought after, like a Gravner perhaps? (Notice you have one in the store, that’d make a darn interesting show…)

QOTD: I’ve certainly gone back a number of times to the combo of Comte with wacky, somewhat oxidized whites. The classic pairing with a local Savagnin is a bit much even for me (well, I guess the actual classic pairing is with proper vin jaune, but that’s out of my price range), but I’ve had very nice results with a Lopez de Heredia white and a Kalin Semillon (really wild producer, you should check them out if you’re not familiar).

But for simple crowd-pleasingness I’m going to go with a cream sherry and a really gnarly aged Gouda or specifically a Roomano. Obnoxiously delicious.

I’ve been drinking more Italian wine lately, thanks to episodes like this one. I have yet to try a Teroldego, so I’ll be adding it to my shopping list.

QOTD: There are so many great wine and cheese combinations that it’s hard to pick a favorite. For today I’ll go with a Crottin or Selles-sur-Cher goat cheese with a glass of Domaine Daulny Sancerre.
