The weather brings back memories of a dismal June. Catching up several weeks later.
QOTD1 – I am not a radish or cucumber fan, i could see celery as a replacement for me. However, I would NOT like this after dessert.

QOTD2 – Chocolate chip.

Fun show, like the change of scenery. We had a fun drive up through Anderson Valley on our way to Mendocino (mini-honeymoon after our Napa wedding). A pinot noir from Navarro brought us up there. Lots of good places I’m sure, we only had time for a few.

QOTD: COFFEE ice cream FTW! Hate coffee, love coffee ice cream…go figure.

Wonderful show. Being in Asia there isn’t much access to Anderson Valley, but I’ll be keeping a look out.

QOTD2 – Jasmine tea or Ben and Jerry’s Fairtrade Vanilla.

I agree with you on Anderson Valley. I enjoy the cooler climate wines they make there.

Fave flavor of ice cream has got to be Ben & Jerry’s Oatmeal Cookie crunch! I think it’s fairly new (about a year old or so) but it blows me away every time!

I’m not into sweets either, but do love the tart flavors of gelato. If you’re ever in the Phoenix area, stop by Gelato 64 for their wine flavored gelato: http://www.gelato64.com/

Loved the episode Gary. I can’t believe I didn’t make it out to Anderson Valley when I lived in the East Bay for two years. I did, however, get to visit Hess Vineyards in Napa. If you like both Art and Wine there is no better winery there as they have both a vineyard and an art gallery.

QOTD – Ben & Jerry’s Chubby Hubby. How can you go wrong with fudge covered pretzel nuggets, filled with Peanut Butter, in Vanilla Ice Cream swirled with Fudge and Peanut butter throughout. A perfect mix of sweet and salty… YUM!
