    I’m one of the lucky few in the original wristband crew – good times for the old school vayniacs – before you sold out and all 🙂

    QOTD: Medium rare – or ground and raw (yummy steak tartare!) can’t seem to find tartare anywhere in the midwest though – just have to bust out my meat grinder and do it myself!

  • wwave

    QOTD: Raw. There is nothing better than a tartare prepared table-side with all of the accouterments.

  • stevek1510

    QOTD….medium porterhouse with Peter Luger’s sauce

  • Senator

    Well, I voted for Brandon on the interception but I had to laugh when I saw that the name of his team was the Butte Pirates.

    Wrist Band: Got both the ORIGINAL Vayniac wrist band AND the new one!! I tried to bust them both out at the CrushPad event in SF in December when you mentioned only 1 other person had both but you had moved on by the time I had them out. NEXT time at CrushPad I will be sure to rock them both!!

    Great show GV. Nobody wanted to believe me that you can drink a good quality riesling with a nice steak or beef cut. Have done it for a while that way, and the wife and I love it.

    QOTD: Nice Ribeye with the wife’s homemade marinade and grilled to a nice medium pink. If you get a large enough steak you don’t even need potatoes or the salad.

  • QOTD: I like it rare, grilled with black peper, and serving with some potato and grilled tomato. That is it, yeah, I like it.

    The boy is slightly in the lead now, I will put his link on my site. He is a little, hansome.:) Nice episode, because I think I know where to get the 2002 Dâ??arenberg Noble Riesling this time.

  • David M Roberts

    QOTD: Medium rare. Isn’t that the only way?

    No one’s answered “blue” yet.. there must not be any vampires on the Vayniac list.

    I too have the original black wristband!
    QOTD: marinated in my own basil / lime / garlic / pepper / onion / wine marinade, then grilled (medium) over charcoal (not gas!) with plenty of soaked wood chips burnin’ and smokin’ right on the charcoal, under a closed-top grill so that the meat absorbs lots of smoke. Chips are mostly hickory and alder, and maybe a bit of cherry or apple wood chips (but mostly hickery).

    QOTD: Charcoal-fired and peppercorn-laced with a port wine reduction that will melt the glaciers of Greenland … that is how I like my steak.

    And a glass of good Cali Cab to extend the ecstasy just a little longer. Smoke ’em if you got ’em, gentlemen.

  • Loweeel

    Steak — Medium rare if it’s at least 3/4″ thick and the place actually knows that MedR means “lukewarm pink center”; otherwise, RARE, baby.

    I have both the black and the red, and they went to wineries in Israel with me this summer, including Castel before you tasted it :).

    no, really.. La Grange with pizza. It had more to do with the company than anything else. One of my favorite gals had stopped by and we had been partying all afternoon and we ordered pizza from the only place that would deliver to the house and…. I looked around and decided I had to go downstairs to find some better wine so I asked the most beautiful guest in the house to help me pick out something… she kept saying “no..no..save this for a special time…..”..well we opened it and it worked kinda…and then the next afternoon she came back to share the other half of the bottle still in the decanter( we actually had enough sense to wait) and we still had cold leftover pizza to go with.. what a great weekeend what a great friend what a great family
