Interesting oddball episode. Shame there weren’t any candy bars from the UK as we all know that’s where the best ones all come from. My personal favourite is too close to call. A tie between Topic, Double Decker, Toffee Crisp, and possibly the daddy of them all, Munchies. Worst by a long way are Reeses…nasty.

    Gary – I also thought the Broncos were faking injuries, although with the number of real injuries they’ve had this season, who knows…
    I just wish they could play all their games on the road now though, they seem to do much better away from Mile High (which is weird)

    Hi Gary,

    Coincidentally actually met Alberto Guadagnini (owner of Casalli di Bibianno) just last week in Costa Rica, he was down visiting, divides his time between Italy and Philadelphia, where he now lives part time.

    I loved the Argante (scored it 92 blind) and you should check out the all cabernet (Ginesio) and their other sangiovese blend at low price is good (Casalone).

    Sorry bout your Jets, we’re gonna catch you next week…

    QOTD: good ‘ol Snickers…

    Great Episode!
    I totally get this show. I love dark chocolate with Cabs and milk chocolates with Pinot Noirs.
    QOTD – My all time favorite is Chunky; I have never tried it with wine, but come to think of it the raisins in it would probably hit it out of the park!

    Fantastic show, Sir. Excellent idea to pair with candy bars on the show!

    QOTD: As a kid, Baby Ruth took the cake for me., then I actually liked Almond Joy (chocolate and nut combinations are my weakness).
    But NOW I LOVE super dark chocolate bars, 70+% cacao, and if you toss in some chile I’m sold.

    Thanks GV! QOTD, I would have to say the 100 Grand as well. Rarely do I have one (Halloween fun size once a year maybe) but it has always been my favorite. Think the wife will go for me “cooking” tonight???

    I’m not that big on candy bars, but Reese’s Sticks are bomb. They have the wafers like a Kit Kat, but with Reese’s peanut butter and chocolate. Kinder Buenos are really good, too. They have hazelnut flavored chocolate in the middle. Like a Ferrer Rocher (all-time fave, but technically not a candy bar).

    This show reminded me of an old George Carlin bit where he poses the eternal question: “What kind of wine goes with Cap’n Crunch? I often have a hard time selecting a wine early in the morning.”

    Perhaps the great GV could do a breakfast cereal show in honor of the late, great GC. Would love to see you douse a bowl of Fruit Loops with a big, fruit bomb Shiraz and dig in. C’mon, Gary, it’d be great!

    Gary the greatest wine for a candy bar or any chocolate is from MAS CAL DEMOURA – 2006 Feu Sacré it is made from 95% old grenache vines and I had the pleasure of tasting it at the SALON DES VIGNERONS INDEPENDANT in Paris this past week…. exceptional wine for chocolate!

    They also have a great website/packaging/labels…etc (for a french vinyard)

    http://caldemoura.sps-demo.com/en/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=29&Itemid=39

    They are even using youtube.com as a method of getting their wines out there.

    oh yeah QOTD – Milkyway
