I’ll try the merlot, my wife likes that varietal. QOTD: Hershey bar with almonds. Great show, sorry about your Jets losing, my Redskins did as well. Not a good weekend for football.

Wine and candy bars, I love it! Great show. QOD – Butterfinger fer shur, baby. Yum. And even better in ice cream, OMG.

QOTD: Nestle Crunch!

Candy bars: Classic Toblerone.
Chocolate: Lindt intense orange.
Really serious chocolate: artisan 70+% organicly grown chocolates from my local chocolatier

On the sidenote: Manner 60% cooking chocolate has the most amazing texture I have ever encountered. The smoothness is unparalleled even by Lindt. This is simply the texture made in heaven. It has, however that typical, pesky Manner “too fresh” taste I have no Idea where they get it from.

QOTD: Today I will say Twix. My palate changes with candy bars too.

I’m not a fan of chocolate and wine.

AWWWWWSSSSSOOOOOOMMMMMMEEEE show my man!! Loved it!!

QOTD: I am a snickers fan.

QOTD – Endangered Species Dark Chocolate with Espresso chips.

Loved the show – what a great world – wine and chocolate….
M&M peanuts and all the rest….

Good dark chocolate is my fave. But I do have a weakness for Junior Mints and Milk Duds. Perusia chocolate bon bons are fun. It’s too hard to choose.

QOTD: couldn’t possibly choose between Mounds or Sky Bar; Sky Bar is getting hard to find, though, and it only has 4 sections these days—I’m sure it used to have 5 sections in the old days. Great old-fashioned candy bar!
Carmenere is a wonderful varietal, but like many Chilean wines, it’s hit-or-miss. Some bottles/vintages/labels have awesome black fruit and cacao, some are just bland and boring. But I agree that these can be amazing values, and perfect with BBQ, too.

WunderBar is my fave.

I have got to go with Almond Joy second place Cadbury fruit.

As a kid it was Baby Ruth. Now it’s Hershey’s Special Dark chocolate bar.

Now that was one helluva fun show. Never thought to pair wine with candy bars though we come up with tasting notes that reflect candyesque features, i.e. caramel, butter, chocolate, etc.

QOTD: Tough one since I’ve had them all since I used to work at a convenience store when I was a kid and ate my way through the entire candy case. Yes, the wooden ones with glass fronts. Favorite: I get sized for Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups with the “classic” Hershey bar a very close second.

Sorry about the Jets. I was sweating bullets watching the Colts online almost lose to the pathetic, no-count, worthless BROWNS! I would have put a gun to my mouth if we had lost. At least the Broncos are a pretty good team. And yes, you are right about the NY Thugs Giants.

Cheers!

Oh oh! The little woman wants to vote on this one. Though I said it was candy “bar” she told me to vote for Peanut M&Ms. Hey, I’m a wuss and bow to the missus.

Great Show,the other night I was having a glass of wine,malbec and ate a small 3 musketeers bar from halloween,was a great pairing.

QOTD: my number one favorite candy bars are reese’s. i know, not a bar, but chocolate+peanut butter=awesome.

i am sad about the jets loss, and beyond sad for the jets-beard loss.

QOTD: Abba Zabba

QOTD: Aero and EatMore. Both Canadian bars that I grew up with.

Great Show Gary,

Another wonderful educational episode…..Wine and Chocolate…who would have thought?? Not to long ago I tried a chocolate brownie with a Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon…..WOW what an experience!!!
QOTD – Can go past a block of Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate….just superb…

QOTD: That’s a tough one. I would have to say Snickers. Although, I also really like Twix – as a kid I thought that buying a Twix was the best value beacause you got 2 candy bars in one package. I also really like the Big Kit Kat Bar.
