Great haircut Gary, you kinda have a Keyser Söze look going on! 🙂

Anyhow thanks for the great match up. I totally agree with you, one great thing about Malbec is the price point where you can still find good malbec for cheap. I’ve been enjoying the Terrazas Alto Malbec from Argentina, a great deal for under $10!

QOTD: My favorite dessert right now is the “warm butter cake” served at Mastro’s steak house. Once you go “warm butter cake”, you never go back! 😛 Seriously though, you have to try it!

GV,
Love the format, and the shorter episodes. Much easier to commit to watching every day.
Favorite dessert: Key Lime pie from Sweete Shoppe Bakery

QOTD: Crusty Italian bread, toasted with a little butter, black currant jelly and bleu cheese on the side. Yum!

hmmmm it is Spring time and it is cadbury carmel egg season…gotta vote for them! Probably go nicely with a 20yr Tawny!

My Ice Cream – Cheesecake Base, Caramel Variegate

QOTD: Tiramasu! Love it when I can find it.

Great show. Enjoy the rest of the FLA trip!

QOTD: Fresh Blueberries.

QOTD: Fresh Blueberries.

QOTD: Have to go with English Toffee Hagen-Dazs. Amazing and easy.

QOTD: homemade Tiramisu made with mascarpone cheese and real Italian ladyfingers.

I really like the new head to head format with two glasses. Maybe you should consider using multiple glasses when you go back to old format as it definitly will save time and you can easily go back and forth between wines.

Love the Pascual Toso Reserve Malbec from Mendoza

QOTD: There is a bakery in my town and they make a crumb cake with a layer of custard in the center, impossible for me to turn a piece down. For something easier it would have to be chocolate cookies with peanut butter chips.

QOTD: My sis made an apple pie from a recipe in (no lie) the new Disney Cookbook — the apple pie came from one of the hotel restaurants in Orlando. This was the BEST apple pie I’ve ever had! Recipe called for caramel in the pie with candied ginger — phenomenal taste and with some vanilla bean ice cream to top it — decadent.

I need to try more Malbecs…

Big G, Wow not even 9 minutes and no Links for the Mottster.

QOTD: Port of course…….

Banana pudding with ‘nilla wafers!

QOTD: Creme Brulee…Just made it this past weekend with fresh fruit on the top.

What’s going on? 62 coments? Thats all? QOTD: Creme Brule.

Gotta go with applepie a la mode.

my kind of battle. both priced for me and my CKC. I actually had the punto final with a few buds and we loved it. maybe our newbie, underdeveloped pals enjoyed the simplicity. QOTD: rich raspberry cheesecake. What’s the wine equivalent to raspberry cheesecake? i should find that out.

QOTD: Panna cotta hands down.

Gary – I am in love with Claim Jumper’s Lemon Bar Brulee. Its a good thing there isn’t a Claim Jumpers in Walla Walla or I’d be in poor physical condition. I liked the Malbec show-down! I’ll need to get my hands on some Malbec since I’m a novice at the moment.

You should try Walla Walla Vintners Malbec (2005) – it’s near perfect. . . for me anyway. And sold out, not distributed. But the Whoopem Up Hollow Cafe still has it on their wine list. LOVELY I have had a few others, namely Lo Tengo, in that

QOTD: generally I’m a cheesecake guy, unless you hit me with a really good chocolate souffle or my mom’s apple pie.

It would be cool if there was this kind of showdown at least once a week.
