I love Cheese!!!! I love Burgundy!!!! I love Christmas!!!! #2

DUUUUUUUUUDE!!!!

That was an aMaazing show Gary! I can’t wait for gourmetlibrary.com to get up and running, I would be ordering slabs of that gooey goodness right now.

QOD: To tell the truth it was a wine/cheese pairing that got me into wine in the first place… I don’t remember the wine label but I do remember the cheese 🙂 This past summer I went to Normandy with my wife for a french country wedding. 1AM after dinner (cause the sun set at 11pm) the couple brought out a selection of norman cheeses to be served with some Bordeaux. The cheese selection with the heaviest nose, Pont Eveque, hit me right away. Tremendous stuff.

I’m very glad you carry it btw 😉

Oh.. and thx for posting the episode early today

Does anyone know what number episode is the ‘wine/gift basket’ tasting? Can’t seem to find it…thanks in advance!

Gary —

QOD: Lancer’s Sparkling Rose & a baggie of Velveeta cubes. That’s lip-smackin’ snackin’!

Very funny, I had a glass of Nero and a plate of cheese at Otto’s toda for lunch

Have never intentionally paired certain wines with specific cheeses but after todays episode and purchases I’ll look forward to these matings and experimenting with others. Got my schwag–one happy guy!!

My pairing is sort of boring, but oh so good. Excellent white Vermont cheddar that’s been sitting out all day and the Alto Almanzora Este. It’s rustic and delicious.

35th???

Joyce,
That was an email video. No episode is associated with it.

Just ordered a couple of bottles on the Longo (try some new varietals). As much as I like good Nero d’A, I managed to pass on that one today. Tell Tom C he’s changing the wine world! Speaking of N d’A, Morgante Don Antonio is a winner, but I’ve heard good things about something that sounds similar to Donna Fugatta ‘Sedara’, but unavailable down here.

Fred Savage giving a shout out to fellow washed up star Mario Lopez. Nice!

Cambozola and a rosso di montalcino. Awesome. And St. Pats from Cowgirl Creamery and Sauvingnon Blanc.

Gary, I am happy to see that you had the experience that I often have when pairing wine and cheese — that being that the flavor of the wine often changes for the worse after having a bite of cheese. It doesn’t happen all the time, but it happens more often than I like. I can’t give you a great cheese pairing outside of the well known Stilton with Port, because that is the only cheese pairing I actually found to accentuate the flavor of the wine.

Gary-
I could go on and on but…
I love cheese!
I went to The Wisconsin Dells as a child
and visited several large cheese factorys.
I have
LOVED
cheese ever since!
🙂

I must have sailed into the Bermuda Triangle!
WOW!
🙂

Hard to get really funky cheese out in the sticks, so I don’t really do a whole lot of that. I think the last one I remember was Gamay + Manchego, which wasn’t bad at all, but usually I stick to whites if there’s cheese involved.

Love Tom’s terroir blog, too.

Emmitt Dancing With the Stars?!? Maybe b/t Larry Allen and Nate Newton, but not with A.C. Slater…and everyone knows Thurmal was the back of the 90’s, regardless…

Take a stick sized piece of imported Asiago and drape in a paper thin shaved piece of Proscuitto di Parma and cap it off with a calamata type olive. Then drink a nice Brunello and call me in the morning…AHHHHH, che buona vita. Reminds me of the years I summered when I was a child with Grandpa on his farm in Abruzzi. Oh well, back to work…

Susan…what is up with you tonight?

great episode! absolutely luv cheese with wine. my favorite pairing so far is a late harvest or spatlese riesling with goat cheese.
