Good ep GV!! QOTD: British Cadbury bars.

I really love the smell of chocolate but hate the taste, weird.

Marquis Philips is completely unknown in Australia and virtually unavailable – it’s another example (ie Yellowtail – which is widely available, but derided) of the Aussies taking the proverbial out of the Yanks by offloading paint-by-numbers wines manufactured for the least discriminating end of the US market.

John P – Melbourne (not an Aussie though)

My fav is Cacao Reserve by Hershey’s Signature Collection Dark Chocolate with or without the cacao nibs with 65% cacao. This chocolate is creamy, not to bitter or sweet, and decadent with red wine.

My favorite chocolate…no question about it, Gary: Hershey bar with almonds.
I wonder how that would have tasted with the 2004 Chat De Tourettes Grenache D?endes?
Loved this episode man!

Snickers!!!!! With Gigondas sounds crazy but it worked for me.

Not sure what is happening lately, but this video and episode #619 do not work on an iPod.

I watch all the episodes on my iPod, through the podcast, and every episode has worked fine.. except these two (and I’ve been watching since about #400).

Would love to get this fixed asap!

I’m having the same problem as innA…last two episodes won’t load onto my iPod. MMMMOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTT!!!!

QOTD: Whichamacallit. But you already asked this question back in the candy pairing episode..

QOTD- The chocolates filled with Spatlese that I get as a Christmas gift from Moselland Winery.

Great episode Gary. Though I have never had Grenache on its on I do thrive on GSMs…I will definately hunt some down in the future.

QOTD: A Cadburys Boost bar

The little hazelnut filled truffles at Sahagun in Portland, OR…….boy are they sinister

Good show. Never would have thought Grenache with chocolate.

QOTD: Snickers!

Host with the Most,

I know Grenache.

John Alban

P.S. Me too.

QOTD: tough call, as I’m not that big on Chocolate… Hershey’s.
I’m really enjoying the Granache when blended with Tempranillo!

Great show

Great wine topic. Grenache is such a great but under appreciated grape.
More Grenache tastings please.

QOTD: Reeses peanut butter cups

Sorry to chime in so late on the QOTD….my “desert island” chocolate choice would have to be Mallomars!!

QOTD: Maybe Valrhona 71% cacao bittersweet by itself, or maybe a reeeeally good chocolate mousse.

QOTD: Domori Porcelana. Criollo rules!

QOTD: Debauve & Gallais, hands down.

But for domestic chocolate, Rick Bristow’s SXUL Chocolate is hard to beat: http://www.austinchronicle.com/gyrobase/Issue/story?oid=oid:258622

In fact, Rick would make a fine guest on WineLibrary TV.

QOTD: Malley’s chocolate from Cleveland Ohio. There simply is none better.

Good episode and good information. I have become a big fan of the “Le Gormand” that you had in a secret pack last year. It goes great with chocolate.

QOTD – Any good quality milk chocolate.

Gotta go with old skool HoHo’s back when they wraped them in real foil. Don’t know what they would have paired well with though besides 1% milk.

Gary,

Little correction. Grenache would be most planted RED grape! I think the most planted grape period is Airén, also in Spain, mostly La Mancha to be used for their bulk wines.

QOTD. I just brought a 70% with coffee bits from Colombia that was pretty awesome!
