Gary great episode I like cheese more than wine too lol. I dont know of any specialty cheese shop in my area all we have is bevmo 🙁

QOTD:
-Trader Joes makes a good olive oil believe it or not. I like a lot of brea cheeses.

Fantastic stuff, Gary. Glad to see you follow up the pizza from yesterday with some cheese (since you took it off the pie!) Your vlog helped inspire me to do a podcast for my own website. Watch your shows every night. Keep up the great work.

QOTD: d’Affinois for cheese… or Aged Goat Gouda
No fave oil yet!

QOTD:
I do like 4 and 6 year old Canadian Black Diamond Cheddar but since I just returned from Burgundy I have developed a fondness for Epoisses de Bourgogne AOC.

Vaynerchuk-E-Cheese(icouldntresist) I wish cheese liked me as much as I like it. Some things are better left to other people. But it’s Friday and I’m kicking it with a bottle of Pinot and one of the best NY steaks I’ve tasted in years. Enjoy London with those Claret chugging blokes.

QOTD: swiss, muenster. *shrug* Lots of olive oils that I like and experiment with (I cook with lots of olive oil). Incidentally, I like to make my own olive oil blends; I usually infuse mine with herbs, always a bit of fresh ground chipotle and a touch of fresh ground black pepper, maybe some cilantro, usually some diced scallions & garlic, and then whatever else strikes me, maybe basil or rosemary (or both). Gotta have that nice smooky red chipotle in there though.

Gary – I like cheese. I go to Vt to buy cheese. I don’t watch WL to learn about frickin’ cheese. No wine, no questions, no napkins??? Dude, get a grip. That was really, really lame. Sorry – somebody has to be honest with you. “Interesting episode” – these people are pulling your *&^(. Think Ellen will have you back to do a cheese segment. Get real. OK, take the weekend off and relax. Next week we want 5 shows focusing on WINE. thx

Hey Gary,My cheese is Feta on pizza with pepperoni and peppers(burp)
My favorite Olive oyl is Popeyes girlfriend AGAGAGAGA.
Sorry abouts that Olive.
What about BC wines!!!!!!

gorgonzola dolce is amazing blue cheese

Ohh, cheeses: my current obsession is Delice d’Argental, a triple creme french thing that is out of this world. (and even better than d’Affinois or Delice de Bourgogne)

Olive Oil: last one that made my eyes bug out because of its goodness:
Tenuta de Capezzana by Conte Contini Bonacossi, ’06 harvest.

hey GV: how about pairing some wines with those cheeses? I’d even be into seeing food+wine matches… just an idea…

QOTD: Cheese is life!! Love Langres, Affidelice, Roomano (yes that’s correct!), just had a cabicou tonight that my wife adored., piave, bleu de basque.. I could go on for days…..

Gary, I had to pause your episode and rush into my fridge and find a cheese to eat along…I am not much of an expert and I like all cheeses, especially Gouda’s and goat cheese based ones…What I do not understand on this episode is how could you resist tasting wine along?!! Cheers.

While in Ann Arbor for grad school, I was spoiled by the cheese selection at Zingerman’s Deli (and the free samples). My current favorite would probably be Remeker…
I haven’t experimented much with olive oil (yet).

🙂 Oh, I remember the glass,,,,,,, maybe it will be useful for oil, sucks for wine!

QOTD: not too much experience with oil, but give me a good English Stilton,,, maybe 3 days on the counter,,, nice and creamy/stinky,,, some crackers and a vintage port!! talk about sporting wood!!!!

😉

Speaking of ashie goat cheese, my favorite, most definitely would be Humboldt Fog! Cypress Grove cheese in Cali does some awesome work!!

Loved the show. The cheese that I like the best is not made I am told. Ledicrance (sp) was my favorite cheese. Like the smelly ones.

I love the stinky cheese-

Stinky cheese on a litely toasted baquette- spread your cheese and slice some figs and layer then drizzle a tits hair of honey over it- heaven

RATE THE CHEESE!
QOTD: Roquefort and bleu cheese in general….. I also love gruyere and acidic goat cheese 🙂 mmmm olive oil… I get the same brand always 🙁 SORRYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SEE YA MONDAY!

QOTD: I’m a big fan of unpasturized Camembert (sadly we cannot get it here in the US) but if you get some Jort is by far my favorite. I also enjoy Shropshire for it’s blend of blue spice with the sharp cheddar taste and I love how the chestnut leaf has it’s way with a Banon. Fantastic.

I am a big fan of French Olive Oil from south of the Rhone region, almost in Provence.

I personally like the peppery olive oils myself- Oliver & Co has great selections of Olive Oils were you can try many-

Though they do not compare to what you can bring home from the farmhouses across the pond-

Greek and Spanish olive oils are very nice also-

QOTD: Parm Regg and anything stinky and soft- gorganzole, Goat cheese, Aged Gouda- ok all of it

I love St. Andre triple cream brie, I also love McAdam New York Sharp Cheddar, Gruyere in all forms (when done well), and Trader Joe’s is carrying a wonderful double cream gouda that is a great value (in CA at least) right now. As for olive oils, I like different things for different dishes. There is no point, in my mind, on spending loads of money for an olive oil that will be combined with vinegar, dijon mustard, shallots and fresh black pepper for a a classic salad dressing (that’s like making margs with Patron!). However, a great estate grown olive oil with lots of citrus components is worth spending money on for dipping. And, with the market what it is these days (again, at least here in Los Angeles), great boutique olive oil choices abound – no point in picking out a favorite. I get to enjoy a new one each week!

Another pesky lurker here–this is my first comment.

Absolutely love the blog, and this show stood out for me. I’m with you on cheeses; for me, dollar for dollar, good cheese probably tops wine in terms of value and overall gastronomic pleasure (though they’re completely different beasts, and my budget laments the fact that I love both). Given how much you love cheese, you should definitely do more cheese shows.

Love what you’re doing for wine, man. The show has inspired me (a 25 year-old whippersnapper with a Bordeaux collection) to stick to my guns at tastings with my WLTV-esque flavor descriptions. An aged un-oaked chardonnay from this evening was like “scooping up a piece of walnut-covered lemon square with a seashell”. Everyone agreed 100%.

Keep up the awesome work. The wine world needs it. Badly.

QOTD
Cheese: Humboldt Fog, Olive Oil: Trianna
