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.

    QoTD – Ritter Sport White Choc. w/ Hazelnuts.

    Funny that your fave was the 100,000 Bar. They’re saying it’s a pale version of my childhod fave, the Peter Paul Caravelle.

  • My favorite candy bar with wine is just a hersheys bar. I think it brings out the notes of my favorite cheap wine.LOL

    The BIG question I have is…..

    How the heck do you keep your teeth white after drinking a great red wine! I joke a lot about purple lips and teeth the morning after a fab wine night.

    Just a dorky question cuz I refuse to adapt myself to white wine.YUCK!

    Awesome show. Nice change of pace!

    QOTD: Used to love Marathon Bars (but they discontinued them 🙁 )
    By far. . . Snickers is the best (even the ice cream Snickers bars that you can get during the summer months!)

    QOTD: Yes! 100 Grand is also my favorite candy bar and I think it is extremely underrated. This show was awesome, it was really fun to watch. I also liked the date idea, maybe keep stuff like that coming?

  • GV, with your cholesterol issues you have no business eating this many candy bars. Some good dark chocolate in a small amount OK but candy bars contain products that raise cholesterol levels considerably.

  • As far as regular candy bars go, I guess I like Almond Joy. No, not Mounds. I must have the nuts in there for the textural appeal. Otherwise it’s too mushy.
    GV – I’m sorry you had to go all the way to Denver to watch the Jets lose in the rain. That’s a bummer. You are a true fan.

    I’ve always been partial to Mounds and Butter Fingers. Although more recently I’ve really been getting in to really dark chocolate.

    QOTD: Cadbury Dairy Milk, baby…not the one you buy in the US stores, but the one you import from the UK. Creamy, chocolaty, waxless goodness.

    Love Carms…

    I like to get Double Chocolate Malted milk balls with them, and a lot of other wines…

    IF you can get the ones you buy at high end grocery stores in bulk, about the size of a golf ball… DO IT!

    I was very surprised the Dolcetto was that strong. Sounds like the other three wines are excellent at their price points and well work getting. Pretty novel show.

    QOTD – None.

    this episode inspired me to drink a Dolcetto tomorrow night. Giacomo Fennocio is the producer. Not as bone dry as the Sottimano.

    QOTD: current favorite candy bar is the Heath Bar! Infact i’ll eat one now.

    Great show as always GV

    I have always liked the “HEATH” bar. So good they made ice cream out of it.

    I’m drinking a Saint Jean Du Barroux, L’Oligocene 04. Some darker chocolate with almonds is working pretty well. But a almond joy would be nice.

    Nice little show today. I hope Gary didn’t upset his tummy with all those combos.

    What about doing desserts some time with a guest chef? Flourless chocolate tort and some late harvest zin or a port,…Yummm!
