qotd: I gotta go w day boat sea scallops, w raw oysters a close 2nd when it comes to mollusc's and lobster or crab when it comes to crustaceans. But that's a really tough question since I love all shellfish.

Love Madiran, haven't had the one by Laplace, but I have had their Pacherenc du Vic-Bilh Sec

    If you need a song to tell you your not an alcoholic, then you probably are. Great show today! I’m loving the Portuguese wines and hopefully I’ll be able to get into the Southwestern France wines. Don’t know about the stuff from Cote-de-Provence and the Southeast area (had some of their unfined/unfiltered stuff and was repulsed by the crap) but I’m not totally turned off yet. Now I want to see the new Winelibrary, I think that’s a great idea giving these regions more floorspace. This is going to be a special chapter in WLTV, I can feel it!!

    Great episode today, I have a feeling the next 400 episodes are going to be great.
    QOTD- Snow Crab, I think it is the best of the crabs even though it is spiney and sometimes painful to open up.

    and maybe….people don’t leave the show after 10 secs because they don’t like the yelling…Maybe they leave because they ONLY like the yelling…Maybe you should do an entire show in the same voice you open it up Gary…just something to think about

  • The Fanjestic

    Good Episode – interested in trying the CARM – and I really thought the song was cool too.

    Peace out! http://www.spreadthethunder.com

    QOTD – Split between King Crab and Maine Lobster with melted (and extra salt added) butter. Mud bugs (craw daddies) are a CLOSE second! Oysters are a not-so-distant third….

    QOTD: mussels, no doubt. In lemon, butter and garlic. Yum!

  • Jahlove

    QOTD: That’s a tough one. Would have to say scallops.

    Sarah sounds like she could have written the Juno soundtrack single-handedly.

    QOTD: Spicy shrimp and sun-dried tomato cream sauce over fresh homemade fettuccine. A bit hard to pair with wine though.

    Great show! Really focused except for the football rant. I can’t wait for the draft. I love lobster, would love to try the Brittany lobster. Raw or slightly barbequed Tomales Bay oysters with ice cold Pacifico. Mmmmmmm. Raw live scallop with a little lemon and sea salt.

    Really enjoyed today’s show, though I’ll have to write a new song now that someone else has already written one so similar, and I’m not one to infringe on any copyrights. Or maybe I’ll just do a punk version of that one like Me First and the Gimme Gimmes.

    QOTD: I’m big into sushi, and a couple days ago, I tried surf clam (“Hokkigai”) sushi for the first time and loved it. It was very sweet, briny, and had a rose petal-y flavor that was awesome. Don’t know if that’s my all-time favorite though. This is a big toss-up between that, Maine lobster, king crab, and sea scallops. Or mussels. Crap, I love shellfish!

  • Jerry the 2thdr

    QOTD: Lobster-goes great with Champagne

  • QOTD: Soft shell crab by the pound, grilled squid, crawfish, oysters at the bar, mussels, crab of any sort……..is there a type that isn’t my favorite?

  • That is an interesting region of France, I recently read about it in “The Wine Bible”. The 2005 vintage could be a gold mine if you can come across some of those hidden secrets.
