Where have you BEEN?! Check that. Where have I been? What a sweet discovery the day Mark Morford (SF Gate) pointed me in your direction! and #148 is a classic among classics. Thanks for getting out there and encouraging all to channel our inner Vay.

Alaskan King Crab leg, with the meat taken out of the shell done in tempura with an amazu ponzu sauce.

Great show, definitely going to seek out some Portugal wines.

QTOD: Shimp or Crab

GV – Great show – right up my alley. I’m loving Madiran right now! QOTD – Even this Bostonian can’t do shellfish 🙁

Gary,
I really enjoy crab. Radool song and of course you know music like wine is good for the soul.
Take good care.

Awesome show, I am a novice to the wine life and I had a question. I am old fashion in that I do not have a myspace or facebook, so I am going to paste my question here in hopes of either you (Gary) or someone else will post some recommendations. I wanted to know if you are familiar with the world of Kosher Wines, if so what bottles would you consider to have a unique taste. Thanks for the help and I apologize if this has been covered in a previous show. Once again, I find your show both fascinating and entertaining.

…..Im a moron and just answered my own question by searching it on your site… this last show was really good too

QOTD- Scallops, love the scallops. Got to have them cooked though. I had a scallop the last time my wife and I went out for sushi that almost made me loose the meal. Oysters on the half shell are a very close second- those I prefer raw accompanied by a Chablis.

Great episode today Gary!

I’m all about soft shell crab and shrimp. Those two could duke it out and the only winner would be my stomach. Mmmm… soft shell crab sushi…

I work in the wine industry and about two years ago I discovered Languedoc-Roussillon and funny enough I wasnâ??t even in France ***Insert snare beat dumb joke sound***. Itâ??s been my little secret when people are over at our house. Their so used to drinking wine from the Okanagan, that when I hit them with some serious south of France action its ova. Thanks for the show mang.
QOTD: The best shell fish no question fresh that day Vancouver Island oysters! I eat that bad boy like a harbour seal…. Raw, baked, Fried doesnâ??t matter. and when in Vancouver (Rodneyâ??s Oyster Bar).

Just recently discovered your AWESOME video’s! I absolutely LOVE this show, the love, the passion, the wines…. everything!
I am fairly new to wines. Drank a lot of them already, but never paid too much attention. Your show sparked the interest and now I buy pairs of wines to taste them myself. Thanks to you GV!

QOTD: Gamba’s or Scampi! Don’t know if it counts, but I absolutely adore Escargots (snails)

Great Show! qotd: I love all my shelled little buddies of the sea.

QOTD— Love eastcoast oysters steamed & fried, then westcoast oysters raw on the half shell…. have them with a New Zealand Sauvignon Blac awesome ….. Great ep G , find a food pairing for the Tannat. A little different style of wine and interesting taste.

QOTD: Dungeness Crab by the SF Bay baby! Then again, clams, mussels, oysters & shrimp have a place at my table too.

Liked the ep and the direction WLTV is headed for the next 100.

QOTD: i would have to say, living in Maryland, that it’s gotta be Blue Crab…Blue Crab in Old Bay spice….tossed over a table covered in news-print….
😀

QOTD: My favorite shellfish are Scallops. They’re delicious!

fav shell fish abalone

is that a shell fish

Strong ep. today…love madiran wines…have a couple of bouscasses in my cellar…

QotD : I have to say lobster or kumamoto oysters…

Cheers

qotd: looks like I’m the only one that loves MORTON BAY BUGS! Little hard to get in Chicago, so I eat copious amounts of prawns.

Even though I sometimes feel the shaky buzzing of some kind of once dormant but oyster-awakened nervous system disorder the day after eating them, I still prefer oysters over any shellfish; East Coast, home-shucked, small to medium sized, with a tiny squirt of lemon, chewed a few or many times (remember, you’re eating, not fellating it).

Mussels mariniere would be a close second. A big bowl of them with an outrageously priced baguette makes me feel quite vital and sprightly.

Nice flight of wines that you chose and all represented value. It is often difficult to locate your featured wines here in Maryland, land of the Blue Crab and archaic Blue Laws.

The three tier (producer/wholesale distributor/retailer) marketing approach of wine selling is under attack. Everyone wants to protect their own interests including the States who make big bucks selling wine/liquor/beer. The Supreme Court ruled that it was OK for a winemaker to ship directly to the consumer. The interpretation that retailers such as WLTV should also have that right is now the topic. The distributors give hefty contributions to their legislators and argue that the current system is the most efficient and what if minors were to order wine online? This is a weak argument as most shippers require an adult to sign for the wine. Smaller producers will not get shelf space vs. large scale producer/corporations. Free Gary T-Shirt?

I’m off to look for some Carm….

Maryland Blue Crab. Nothing Better.

Good show, and glad that Douro wines are going to have a bigger place at WL. Bought a case of Churchill’s red table wine just last week. Nice wine.

QOTD: Favorite shellfish is definately FRESH Alaskan King Crab legs!!!!!!

since my wife is ethnic chinese, I by default love shimp, especially when it is cooked with pork
