qotd…… lindt 70% & black toblerone

Gary mate, i don’t know why on earth you still keep on rating aussie wines like this one….. this is seriously giving bad image to the country…. seems you lost your touch on choosing aussie wines, maybe as you said you may want to go other regions like margaret river, padthaway, clare valley, eden valley, STOP going to mclaren vale for next 6 episodes….. ok??

if you can get your hands on a bottle of Radford Shiraz from eden valley, it may change your view a little….. all the best

Very interesting show. More blinds please.

QOTD: Neuhaus Orangettes

QOTD: For the price, Cacao Reserve by Hershey 65% cacao, with cacao bits, is a surprisingly delicious chocolate bar. The cacao bits add a unique crunch that is a bittersweet treat.

Great show as always!
My all times favourite chocolate is milk chocolate and brownies. This is a chocolate that I could only find in Switzerland. Too bad!

interesting colors that talk a lot ! gary happy V day to you
QOTD from a french point of view “la forêt noire” obviously but made with the french savoir faire or expertise 🙂

QOTD: Twix

Had the Marquis Phillips after another show of yours that said try grenache and it was bad..I agree with you.
QOTD: Dark Chocolate almond joy…yum!

QOTD: Toblerone. I also LOVE NUTELLA!!!

QOTD: Kinder eggs (german white/milk chocolate eggs that are just right)

QOTD: Technically not a ‘chocolate-chocolate’, probably Niedebergger dark chocolate covered marzipan is my favorite chocolate to eat.

Great episode Gary! QOTD: Karl Fazer Blue milk chocolate from Finland, the absolute best! Recommended.

“Ritter Sport” : dark chocolate hazelnut ( well, this week at least )

Anything Belgian, and Valrhona is pretty damn good too. and you cant forget max brenner, nyc is spoiled with great chocolate

Interesting results, fun to watch. My fiancee just watched for the first time. She doesn’t drink wine (or anything…I make up for it!) She is a chocolate lover, and is quite into high end chocolates. So, I will answer for myself, and then she will answer separately.

CBone QOTD: I enjoy Michel Cluizel single source chocolate from the Los Ancones premier cru de plantaion on the island of Santo Domingo. Amadei chololates are also delicious.

N QOTD: I love Michel Cluizel single source chocolate from the Vila Gracinda premier cru de plantation, on the island of Sao Tome. For more available chocolates, I like Ferraro Rocher.

Camino 70% cocoa fair trade organic!

Gary … You dog … Love the enerRrgy, did the WLTv concept, but the facts, man, come on ! As a ‘wine educator’ you should be more careful with how you promote ‘truth’ and ‘facts’ in yer show … Grenache (France) or Garnacha (Spain) or Cannonau (Italy) – all the same grape, mind you – is not the world’s most planted variety. That honor is reserved by the AIREN grape, a green grape planted largely in the Meseta of Central Spain and used primarily for distillation into brandy, although some Airen is made into innocuous still white wine for the local market … Merlot is largely considered the second most planted variety in the world … Grenache? One of the top three? Top five? Maybe … but more than likely somewhere in the top ten … just trying to keep it realistic … Cheers

QOTD – Belgian chocolate is hard to beat. It is especially good when you get it fresh in Belgium.

QOTD: Crunch bars. We always used to go bowling as a family when I was little. We must have gone like once a week. And each time we went, my Dad would always buy me a Crunch bar. There are many things that are better quality that I like, but nothing can beat the Crunch bar for nostalgia.

Happy Valentines Day, Gary & Lizzy !!!

qotd: See’s Dark Chocolate with the fruit fillings. YUUUUUUUMMMMM! 🙂

Sees assorted dark chocolates. Happy Valentines Day to You and Yours, Naples Kathy aka Champagne Lady

Hersheys Symphony milk Chocolate bar
Best bang-for-the-buck in chocolate land

Hmm, dark chocolate milky way or a 100 grand

QOTD: One to mention is Marabou’s DAIM From Sweden! As funny it may seem, you can get it from Ikea, but that doesn’t mean it’s an Ikea brand. It’s because it’s swedish. This is by far my favorite chocolate!

QOTD: Butter Crunch from Jean Louise Chocolates in Spring Lake.

I chose a Copain Syrah over a Copain Grenache Mourvedre for Dinner tonight, but there’ll be no chocolate tonight anyway because I bought two Lindt milk chocolate bars to cover strawberries and the chocolate bars just disappeared. I’m off chocolate for the most part, (just the occasional brownie or chocolate chip cookie) so it wasn’t me. I usually get blocks of Callebaut when I dip strawberries and I wish I would have done so. But the main dessert tonight is lemon pudding cake mousse and naked strawberries will be fine with it. I don’t know what we’ll be drinking by the time we get to dessert. We probably should save some pinot grigio.
