    Getting ready for Hanukkah, gotta get the K-dog wine (kosher) out there..

    QOTD: The NFL tailgate party for the Jacksonville superbowl that I got to go to a few years ago was a pretty cool meal. The meal was more of a highlight than the game, that’s for sure.

  • Dr T from N. Carolina

    QOTD Mama Rosa’s in the French Quarter — the place needed a renovation, but the food was great, the prices were moderate, the Chinai was good, and it was my honeymoon. what more could I ask for?

    Best meal was this October at Dry Creek Kitchen in Healdburg, CA. My wife and I shared a bottle of De La Montanya Christines Vinyeard Pinot Noir. (Won Best Best of Show at the Somoma County wine and vine Fest this year)Superb!

    QOTD- best meal I ever had was my grandma’s chicken soup and boiled chicken, it’s not what you eat, but the love that goes into the meal.

    Best meal? I would have to say a gorgonzola stuffed ribeye with a port reduction that I made for my gal’s b-day a few years back. Decadence.

    The greatest meal I’ve ever had was probably my 1st time eating at a Mongolian Barbecue Restaurant about 4 years ago, which is funny because that consisted of a bunch of meats and I am a vegetarian now, but it was darn good.

  • chitown_wino

    QOTD- My wife and I were at a restaurant on Tortola on the British Virgin Islands called Brandywine. Pasta course of Tortolini stuffed with some kind of meat filling, I had a Mediterranean sea bass, she had lamb chops and we drank a lagerin (sp? Italian red wine)- perfect.

    More recently though I had BBQ Bison short ribs at Ted’s Montana Grill that I am definitely going back for in the near future!

    Great show GV.. thx for pushing another wine on me that I didn’t need 😉

    QOD: The term meal is intangible, tastes can change, when I think of the best meal I don’t even try to think of what I ate.. it was the experience as a whole that makes it memorable. So, my best meal was on my honeymoon with my wife, her oldest friend, and her fiance. Her oldest friend was her pen-pal from Normandy, yet they have only met in person a handful of times. To welcome us to their hearts they took us to a country farmhouse restaurant in the middle of the day and we ate and talked for hours. Learned alot about both of them that day and that’s why its my best.. hands down!

    David Paul’s restaurant in Lahaina, Maui was hands down the best meal I’ve ever eaten. Mahi Mahi in some sort of rich cream sauce with a cheesy risotto. Amazing.

    Was this a taped episode? No mention of the JETS stomping the Fins. Montana steaks, is there any difference between them and the other gourmet steak sellers? I will gladly participate in their contest.

    QOTD:
    The greatest meal I ever had was at Maestro in D.C. Fabio Trabacchi’s restaurant. He is now at Fiamma in NY. It was a tasting menu paired around a 2000 Pio Cesare Barolo. Everything from Crudo (with aperitifs) to desseert was outstanding.

    QOTD: There are so many components that can fracture into a question like that. Is it time and place, the conversation, the food, the WINE! maybe you forgot about the person and the place and you just remember the wine. Oh well, I will have to dig back. I might have to be a meal I had in NY at Prune. I was with my future gallery dealers, good friends from different parts of my life, and we had a case of wine with us ( it as right before they got their liqueur license). Everything was so good, the fried olives, esoteric aps and a well chosen mixed case. It was a night that was engraved into our collected memory for a long time to come.

    QOTD: Greatest meal I’ve ever had…..it was at our house with the whole family during the holidays. I served a foie gras au torchon appetizer with Brioche (French Laundry style), followed with a mixed green/pears/candied pecans/blue cheese/citrus vinaigrette salad, followed by a Standing Rib Roast Au Jus with Yorkshire Pudding & Creamed Spinach. Served with 2002 St. Clement Orroppas. Everyone was happy and healthy and in good spirits. Can’t beat times like that…now about that $500.00 bottle of vino…………………

  • drydrew

    G thanx! Gary your the man!

    The Lurkers cometh.
    QOTD: How to gauge? Given the experience, the best meal I have ever had was on my honeymoon at Don Alfonso 1980 on the Amalfi Coast. The food was great but the service and the reason for being there made it the best meal in my entire life.

    the greatest meal I ever had was in the U.S. embassy in Moscow, Russia in 1989. We had some reindeer steak, borscht, and Beluga caviar. I don’t remember what wines we drank with the meal, but they were perfectly matched with the courses that were served.

    arrgggh! 1890 not 1980… is there an edit button that I can’t see?

  • cma82

    Nice..I gotta pick me up some of those Ventoux, I love anything CdPish. Can’t say I love screwcaps though, I just like the nostalgia of corks. Although, if everyone went to screwcaps, my corkscrew collection might go up in value!

    QOTD:
    Best meal I’ve eaten has got to be at Daniel last summer. Was there for like 7 hours, pretty hard to beat.

    QOTD: The best meal I’ve had was at The Grape in Dallas; Baked Brie for an appetizer, Scallops over Couscous for the main course, and a chocolate molton cake for dessert. This was also the night that my husband and I got engaged, so I might be biased. 🙂

  • QOTD: The best meal that I have ever had was a home cooked true Italian meal while visiting my godparents in Alba, Italy. I have to say that I am a huge fan of Italian cooking and a full course meal can’t even compare to anything we have in the U.S. The courses just keep comming, the Tiramisu desert is my favorite. The meal was complimented by a wonderful 1979 Barolo from the Piedmonte region of Italy.

  • QOTD: The greatest meal was the one I ate on board the Concorde from JFK to Paris. Not because the food and wine were fabulous (though they were), but because of the overall experience. As they say…it’s 3 hours of great meals, and then you land! Too bad it’s gone.

    QOTD,

    Dinner with my dad in Chamonix, FR (2001). It was a menu of duck breast salad, grilled duck/pork/beef, and an evil lemon Armagnac sorbet – house wine in a carafe. We ate outside as the sun set over the French Alps, Mt. Blanc in the distance.

    Sincerely,
    Gus

    ps – Gary, sorry about the email. There really was no comments link earlier but it popped up on my reload.

    pps – I am a lurker no more!

  • GV – Thanks for continuing to highlight Ventoux/Luberon/Nimes. QOTD – Best meal? Two – Pakistani in Barcelona and Fried Chicken out of a paper boat sitting on a curb during a festival in Central Square, Cambridge MA. 2nd best meals? Anytime my lady cooks…
