    Can’t pass up a chance at a 6L Silver Oak! So this is my first comment since I lost my lurker virginity at episode 305.

    QOTD: I usually order Medium, but in very good steak restaurants, I will order Medium-Rare. Filet mignon with a charred surface and pink/red middle, that’s my style.

  • Sassodoro

    QOTD. Well done, unless the meat is of amazing quality, in which case medium.

  • JoeyB

    Gary –

    Great show once again…curious to try out the dessert wine with steak…interesting concept.

    QOTD: I like my steak medium rare and marianted over night in olive oil and balsalmic vinegar.

  • Steve

    Rare, rare and did I say…rare?

  • MEDave

    QOTD: medium, super juicy, and melt in your mouth tender.

    Great show, being a “lurker” how can I NOT pass up free awesome wine… w/o losing my “lurker” status. I can’t post for “the children…”

  • habeen

    Medium rare – leaning to rare. Charred on the outside. No sauces thank you.

  • Acousticdoc

    Love steak with a big red. Thanks for the episode.

    QOTD: Rare to Medium Rare. Anything else is ruined!

  • QOTD: I like my steak rare to medium rare. Any more cooked than that just ruins the flavor for me.

    My absolute favorite is a nice, thick, well-marbled cut with lots of butter, salt and pepper.

    I have been known, however to get a really cheap cut from the grocery store and slather it with A1. That’s just how I like to roll sometimes.

    I love my steak with a dry spice rub of salt and pepper over extremely hot coals cooked rare. Less is more GV!

  • Kevin Humphrey

    Always rare, and wine at the right temp as well.

  • Monstrose

    QOTD: Always medium rare, but I like to change up the sauces and cuts. Truffle oil, Tasmanian Pepper Cream Sauce, gorgonzola, herb butter: you can’t have just one favorite.

  • Ricky B.

    QOTD- Medium rare with garlic and pepper.

    QOTD..I like my KC Chiefs/ errr…Strip rare to medium rare. Again GV I ask you What wine do you drink with a Herm Edwards homecoming as the Jets fall to my lowly/ frustrated Chiefs?

  • I got to agree with the last respondent. I like my steak bloody rare with a nice charred sear.

  • Bibbidy Bobby Balls

    Great steak (Ribeye) cooked rare paired with a great wine (red – cabernet)

  • Pardus

    QOTD: I like to season it with salt and pepper and sometimes a bit of cayenne and then pan-fry it in butter and garlic until medium rare.

    On another note I have had the 92 Silver Oak twice. The first time was Thanksgiving weekend 2003. I had it at a the Biltmore Hotel in Pheonix, AZ. The second time was a bottle I hand-carried to Zimbabwe. The wife and I drank it on my birthday (2006) while on safari at the Pamushana resort. The wine was even better than I remembered.

  • bamadog

    Medium rare…dry on the outside, juicy inside with enough pink to know it had been alive fairly recently

  • Jay

    GV,
    As an idea, what if you were to review each wine, slap yer rating on it and THEN refer to all of the other ratings(Parker et al) Perhaps due a summary at the end comparing your ratings with the others (comprised by someone else). Hoping it might create an even MORE unbias approach (I am in NO way suggesting you’re tainted) I think it might bring even more fun to the show, which I love BTW. Merry Christmas…gonna try to get my Dad the secret Christmas pack in time for the big day, should be fun, see you there!

  • Frank LeFevre

    Rare to medium rare. Is there any other way. AKA: the Winefather

    QOTD: I like mine medium rare. I’ll have to look into that desert wine with steak. Sounds great. Can’t wait for a waiter to look at me like I’m nuts.

  • QOTD: I tend to like mine medium, because medium rare at most restaurants these days seems to be what, 7 years ago, would have been called “alive”.
