QOTD: Do I even like dessert? Not, really…but carrot cake is one of my favorites when I swing that way.

QOTD: Ice Cream – Either B&G Cookie Dough or Strawberry.

OH, I tell ya, I really miss the coconut lemon cake at the Silver Grill diner in Atlanta, GA. I lived in the area for 10 years in the decade of the 90s and that dessert was just like old fashioned Southern cooking, comfort food. If I had a Southern Grandma, that’s how she would have done it.

QOTD: A chocolate shake made with quality ice cream (aka Taylors, Haagen Dazs..)

The local bakery makes something called a Raspberry Devil Dog, that is out of this world. There is a layer of chocolate devils food cake with a large dollop of raspberry moose covered in a hard shell dark chocolate. And when paired with a nice red wine it can’t be beat.

QOTD: Since chocolate is a sweet I will say homemade fruit pies or cobblers ala mode.

GV loving the head to wine tasting very cool.

uh head to head that is…….

QOTD – Apple Cobbler!

QOTD: Cannoli! Nothing is better than a good cannoli. The fact that they are becoming increasingly elusive outside the NYC area makes them all the more special when you find them. In the south its like hunting down Big Foot. You would be lucky to find a bakery.

QOTD: Apfelstrudel – but in the end any quality sweet wine and/or a cheese plate will do.

Thats easy, Cherry Pie in general. And, a restaurant I love to visit in Chicago makes an awesome raspberry pie.

QOTD: Cheesecake… yum.

QOTD: Honey. Yes, I said it. Nothing tackles your sweet tooth and makes it beg for mercy more than drinking (I did say drinking) some Buckwheat Honey. Gross you say? I say, “Have You Tried It?”

GV- Had the Punto Final 2005 RESERVE and it rocked…I think it is about $15 a bottle…white label.

QOTD – PECAN PIE

QOTD: blueberries
Looking forward to the 2006 Posta del Vinatero Cocina

QOTD: Dried fruit -figs, apricots, dates, strawberries (yes, strawberries)- dipped in dark Callebaut chocolate. Or the jam-filled molasses cookies I make from my mom’s recipe.

Sign me up for cheesecake all the way, unless you have a cannoli handy

QOTD: Ice cream, pretty much any flavor

QOTD: Cherry pie and blue moon ice cream, but not together.

Hey GV, Why did you select such cheap malbecs?…….(8 bones)…. hard to believe you’d get a quality product at that level (given the cheap dollar)…..

holy grapevines batman – I’m driving home from work and thinking “man, Gary should do a battle royal between Malbecs” as France is where the malbec grape was traditionally used in blending to soften a wine, and Argentina is known most famously for growing malbecs – and whad-do-ya-know, he pulls out the match of matches – great job and great wines think alike (i mean ‘minds’)
