You’ve inspired me to have a head-to-head format for my wine tasting group! Fun stuff.

QOTD: Dessert. We do a lot of crème brulée around here, but really, my favorite, is any proper cheesecake.

Cool ep GV. I love the Malbecs. Argentina is hig on my list of wine tour destinations for the next 5 years.

QOTD – creme brulee

Strawberry shortcake – February, March, July, November, doesnt matter the time of year. Love it.

Good show. I love Malbec and should buy more. We tasted one last weekend that was good–a 2006 Septima.

QOTD: Creme Brulee!!!

QOTD: mmmmmm… fudge brownies with vanilla bean ice cream.

Gary, you do so much work with cheeses and wines, why not an episode of dark and milk chocolates and good red wine counterparts? (Maybe a Merlot?)

I had a 2003 Cohort Malbec that I really enjoyed. It was sort of a poor-man’s Bordeaux in the French restaurant. It was even tasty the next day after opening it. But for $36 in the restaurant, I found it online for $10-12.

Brilliant! Many laughs as usual, but make no mistake, behind that hilarious improvisatory style is solid content! Thanks Gary.

Gary V is one of wine’s most valuable resources.

My favorite dessert? . . . More wine

hi gary,

actually, it is pronounced “origeeeene” since there is an “e” on the end of the word. you should get a french friend to help you with your pronunciations before the show–we can all stand to learn the proper pronunciations of the many languages of wine. i happen to know that this is not a co-op wine, but a private label made by a Cahors producer (origine is the importer), and i’m sure this vigneron would quite enjoy your take as he has a good sense of humor, although he’d say his terroir is a little off the highway. always good to remind us that generally, french wine is best with food–for a wine like this…beef stew or burgers, and if you’re more of a cook, lamb, duck, cassoulet, boar. you’re right, take the other one to the cocktail party and pour half of this into your stew and drink the rest!

Anything Chocolate with a Glass of Port. Also love strong Blue Veined Cheeses With Pedro Ximenez Sherries. On a side note G.V…. just had the 05 Mischief and Mayhem Bourgone Pinot Noir…. and it cracks me up when you read the Winery’s Tasting Notes and then Your Tasting Notes are so much more Dean On than what they say or other nuances that Reviewers Pick Up. No other reviewer would say the Wine Had Aromas of Fart Bombs, Dirt Bombs And Radishes…. and Vayniacs…let me tell you as a Certified Sommelier…that’s exactly what the Wine Had…plus my nose picked up some (Marinara Sauce, Tomato Type Aromas As Well)…Great Wine and as you noted a great way for people to understand what Pinot Noir used to taste like before the Movie Sideways!! Great Job G.V.!!

Was drinking Niara Malbec from Argentine the day before this episode posted. On the same page with WLTV. Awesome.

P.S. Favorite desert right now is this apple crisp in the frozen section at my local Stop & Shop. It’s like crack.

P.P.S. I mispelled the wine I listed…it’s Naiara Malbec…

Typos rule!

Favorite dessert? Good ol’ chocolate cake w/ whipped cream.

I’m digging the new format, though the longer episodes are best for watching with a bottle. Yes, I DO know where the archive link is.

QOTD: Someone already said it best: more wine.

Cheers!

Dessert= tiramisu
Thanks so much for the Malbec show!

QOTD:

New York style cheese cake.

Green Tea Gelato, with a really bitter edge.

I am glad to see you sought out the Argentinian Malbec. When we want an every day wine, value wise and for around 8,00$, we usually get this bottle from Argentina. I recently through it away so next time I will write it here. I found this show for me to be somewhat educational as I am new to Malbec. So will seak them out. Thanks for bringing them to our attention 🙂 For favorite desert or more common would be cheesecake and a fancy desert would have to be creme brulee, have a nice day 🙂

The ganache covered cheesecake in my fridge!!!

I’ve never found a Malbec I truely enjoy… I’ve only tried 4-5 of them, but they all had some funk (sharpness, bitterness, etc.) that I didn’t like! blah.

QOTD: Favorite dessert right now is Chocolate Covered Cherry Cheesecake!

I’ve been on a bit of a cake kick (say that three times fast). Just made devil’s food cake in the form of layer cake and cupcakes. It came out delightfully, but I really need to learn how to make a proper buttercream. Further cakes to be baked in the near future.

I had a Cahors malbec that absolutely blew my mind with the QPR. Eleven bones, I think, but with the punch of a $20-25 bottle. It was quite nice.

QOTD: Pazukis…SP? It is where you have a warm cookie toped with ice cream……but that has only been with in the last few moths…….

I don’t think I’ve had a Straight-up French Malbec. QOTD: Cheesecake (GReg), Carrotcake (Tara)

QOTD: Specialty’s cookies. I have to check the forum now, there is an entire contingent of people there that want to see Cahors stay as far off of the radar as possible. Great episoide.

QOTD: My current favorite dessert is a chocolate souffle. Yum!

chocolate chip cookies
