This was such an awesome episode!! I will definitely try this with your under $10 wines. Great lesson here.

QOTD: I don’t just have one favorite candy bar – I’ll have to give you my top three: Twix, 100 Grand, Milky Way. It all depends on what mood I’m in that determines which candy I want to have. Can’t live my life without them.

1st of all, as a Denverite, I have to say GO BRONCOS !! (Sorry GV, had to put that in there)

QOTD: For the standards, I would go 100 grand also. For specialities, I would go Ghiradelli Dark Chocolate bar.

My wife & I commonly do a piece of chocolate or a candy bar for dessert with wine. Almost always a good choice!

Gary, this is why I love your show. I would have NEVER, EVER thought about trying chocolate with wine. I’m tempted to try something like a Lindt Lindor Truffle. Too weird?

Thanks for the fun

Hi Gary!
I was moved to make it a POINT to tune in again… and this episode did not disappoint. It did, however, make me eat the rest of the candybar I was desperately trying to save for tomorrow. 🙂
Oh, I want to say the initial thing that made me realize its been a while was that another of your viewers, known to many as Syd Sonic, the drummer for the Spazmatics, was sporting his WLTV wristband at Friday’s concert. I like to think it made him rock just a little bit harder, if that’s even possible. He’s the awesomest. 🙂
Anyway…
QOTD: Mars Bar (the one with almonds… I think they may have since taken them out… But I also LOVE peanut M&Ms.

To me, candy bars do not go with wine, at all, not even a little bit.

If I were forced at gunpoint to eat a candy bar with wine, it would be a Special Dark, I guess, just because it’s a little bitter, with less sugar added.

I also don’t like chocolate cheesecake — a waste of both chocolate and cheesecake. Chocolate and cheesecake, separate from each other, are two of my favorite things though.

In general, chocolate and anything remotely tart just do not go together — they ruin each other. Each would be better without the other. Definitely a case where the whole is less than the parts.

But that’s probably just me.

Favorite candy bar, Twix.

I hate chocolate with a passion. Although I can’t think of any aroma I love more than real dark chocolate. My wife always gets little cakes and candies and before she eats them I always smell them for a few minutes. Also, if I eat chocolate I get mad mad massive migraines.

So my favorite (if there was one) candy bar would have to be a chips and guacamole bar. That would be amazing.

QOTD-

I have to say #1 in my book would Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, but I’m not sure if that counts since it isn’t in actual bar form. So with that in mind I’m going to go a little obscure and say a Zero bar. If you haven’t had it try it, white chocolate delight! Skor bars are great too.

Barnard Griffin WA state Merlot is killer with chocolate bars….awesome

This is such an easy question of the day!!!!
this is like taking candy from a baby.

Either Kit Kat or Almond Joy.

Why didn’t you spit out the candy bars? haha.
GREAT concept of a show – paring is great! I was amazed no Zin’s, but that is cool.
QOTD: Heath bar. Snicker bar. no no, Peanut M&Ms… no, wait.. it’s

QOTD: Almond Joy (on a budget) Green and Black Milk Chocolate with or without almonds. Don’t know if it’s me, but Hershey Bars don’t seem to taste the same anymore. I used to love to break off each section and let it melt in my mouth. Bought full-size Hershey Bars to hand out for Halloween. Tasted one of the leftovers and it seemed to taste like that inexpensive Palmer brand, or Brach chocolate. Just not good.

Sorry about your Jets. Those fake Bronco injuries were very annoying.

In the Chocolate category I’ll take a “Clark Bar”.
In the International category: “Coffee Crisp” (Canada).
In the Non-Chocolate category its “PAY DAY” all the way.

Outstanding concept! This is fun and informative at its best.

QOTD: The mighty and triangular(and imported)Toblerone. Gotta love a candy bar that is shaped like a triangle.

Gary,
It seems like you’ve been having a lot more fun on the show recently, which makes it a joy to watch. Not to say you weren’t before, but the last couple weeks you’ve been rocking it!

Keep up the good work, and keep having fun

NO CONTEST!?!?! It has to be the SKOR Bar, an obscure little candy bar that has been my fav for years.

Just to vent: The second Denver score was pure robbery, I mean did you see Favre’s face when they called it a TD? I think that really took the wind out of his sails. And don’t even get me started on faking injuries, Shanahan should be called Shinanigan!!!

QoTd
This is a difficult question, since any candybar covered in chocolate is good. I’ve loved Lindt chocolate and Cadbury nuts and fruit, but also the smooth Dove bar! All the ones you mentioned, too, Hershey’s and Ghiradelli are my favorites also.

Well Candy bars and Wine do not mix in my stomach last time I tried something like that I prayed at the porcalin alter
QOTD Frozen Snickers or hershys special dark

Gary,
This was one of my favorite shows ever. I noticed you picked wines from Italy & South America, but all your candy was from the US. Maybe you could do another chocolate show, & feature high end chocolates from around the world?
QOTD:
If it’s American candy bars, Snickers, no contest.
Lindt is amazing, especially their Lindor Truffles.

snickers- america’s bar

Butterfinger and heath bar… a toss-up… great show
