Veal marsala…lot’s of garlic

QOTD- PIZZA soooo good. Thin crust thick crust all good. If I could pick just one food to eat the rest of my life it would be pizza.

Gary,
Thanks for the Barolo show. The classic flavors of dried fruits, tobacco and tar and high tannins make me a great fan of these wines. I am hoping the new world does not take over this classic wine.

QOTD: Penne Putanesca

Osakis??? really???? St. Michael mn here… (fyi it’s Oh Say Kiss)

Lovin’ the show!!!

Favorite Italian Food: Pappardelle pasta with truffle sauce from Lil’ Frankies in Manhattan. Un. Be. Leivable.

Favorite Wine to pair with Italian Food: Barbera.

qotd: Just one? I’m sorry that’s just not possible. I wouldn’t mind carciofi alla giudia or carciofi alla romano. Or ravioli with ricotta and sage. Or maybe a wild mushroom risotto. Or homemade lasagna. Where do you stop?

Spaghetti a lla Vongole!

QoTd
Scampi with lots of garlic, Chicken Marsala, Tiramisu, Chicken Alfredo, oh, you said one favorite?

Good to see you back in the ThunderDome aka The Wine Library Command Centre Gary.

QOTD: Favorite italian food…. Hands down Gnocchi with any form of Wild Game Ragu. That combo is MINT in my books

Well, I’ve got to cop out and say pizza, if only for the wonderful variety of styles and methods for making what is otherwise a simple dish.

Good, good show. I have always liked Marchesi di Barolo but am always looking for another to take its place.

QOTD: Hands down, fried stuffed zucchini flowers. Aaaaamazing

Welcome back

Springtime, asparagus in season soon calls for a German Riesling battle royale.

Way to bring the thunder to open up the week.

QOTD: Has to be Seafood Themadore from Sal’s in Williamsburg, VA. Crab, shrimp, scallops over fettuccini with his special cream based sauce. Out of this world. It is one of the few things I miss about the Tidewater area.

QOTD: A giant Chianina beef steak……nothing with it, just enough pure beef to get me totally in touch with my carnivorous side. For quick comfort food, Mario Batali’s recipe for spaghetti carbonara with a fresh raw egg yolk on top.

QOTD: Linguini Carbonara with lots of pancetta!

QOTD: I could really go for some cheese ravioli in a browned butter sauce….MMMMHHHMMM. That or some good eggplant rollatini.

Basil pesto (not the creamy kind). Lots of olive oil, garlic, and parmesan!

Good to see you back in da hizzie. Great job in the northwest though.

QOTD: Beef Bracciole – if I had to choose just one. The quintessential Chianti food.

QOTD – I’m a sucker for classic chicken parm. or gnocchi with marinara (MUST BE TONS O’ GARLIC!!!!!!!)

I just stumbled across your show recently and I love it!

QOTD: Well, I’ve never had an Italian dish that I didn’t like, but a couple of favs are fettuccine alfredo and chicken parmigiana.

QOTD: Linguine con Vongole (in this case, WHITE clam sauce, and do I have a killer recipe!). Enjoyed the episode, and I like the older Barolos, when the tannins have had time to settle down…

QOTD: Fettucine Alfredo with Prociutto, or very thin shaved prociutto with melon or peach. Oh man I’m hungry.

Gnocchi Pasta with red sauce. My grandmother’s, of course.

QOTD: Squid Ink pasta! Oh yeah

And how’s about doing a 2001 Barolo tasting soon, to see how some of these are doing after a few years of age. I know the price points for the 01s are higher, but would be good, considering the vintage similarities..

Also, Twitter me up GarV (or anyone else for that matter)::: (LeifVin)
or roll me down a facebook slope::: (leif sundstrom)

Lets drink together!

QTD: a hunk of parmigiano reggiano is hard to beat.
