You’re wrong about Lito. He’s done. He wasn’t able to start on a very good Eagles defense in 2008.

-your resident Eagles expert.

Nice new set. The “mystery Mott” is kind of cool. Your wine glass seems to be gettng larger–getting close to a fish bowl size!

Any $30 port with any Danish Blue Cheese. You’ll be happy !

Again opening up our palates but the charisma helps!!!!

QOTD: Pecorino/Asiago with Montepulciano d’Abruzo Valle Reale or Cremant de Bourgogne with brie…hmmm getting excited about the weekend!

LOVE the show. Definitely trying to expand my palette. HOWEVER, I am REALLY disappointed that you cannot ship to Las Vegas. When will that change?? Hopefully SOON!

Keep up the GREAT work!

Roccolo with grenache/garnacha e.g. Capçanes Mas Tortó
Cashel Blue with, weirdly, Chianti Classico

love soft cheeses e.g. Wigmore, but hard to pair with red wine

former Tulsa peep here

moved away recently but hope to relocate back in due time

QOTD: i honestly do not know. hard to get fine cheese (and wine for that matter) in remote oiltowns….

QOTD: I agree with all of the port comments especially with the gorganzola and other blue cheese varieties, even stilton. Another favourite is a 15 yr old Brunello, perhaps biondi-santi with some parmaseano reggiano … delicious. I just had the most amazing combo last week it was a 2005 Pouilly-Fuisse Classique by Joseph Burrier and I paired it with a tripple cream brie from Quebec …. WOW! The cheese brought out the minerality of the wine and it even brought out a sharp tin or metallic flavour out of the wine … it was weird but I loved it.

Just watched episode #228. I Love Coffee Ice Cream!

QOTD: Epoisse with Burgundy. Champagne with St. Andre. Port with Stilton. You can’t beat the classics. Then again I like any kind of wine with cheese.

My favorite wine and cheese pairing would be 2004 Da Vinci Chianti with Pecorino cheese. A great post workout meal!

Great show!

QOTD: Red Vacqueyras & Piave for a Franco-Italian double-bill.. and for a white, Viognier with some CHEAP English supermarket cheddar… (which tend to be better than any other cheddar @ $25 a pound in the US.)

Ciao! How bout running on a treadmill and doing a wine tasting review? Let?s keep that cholesterol down shall we!? Rock On!

QOTD: Cabraleles or Valdeon with a sweet sherry, or Epoisse with chablis…oh yeah baby! Don’t talk to me right now.

QOTD: a good pecorino sardo (Sardinian ewe’s milk cheese) (but trim the crust!!!!! and make sure it’s at room temperature) with a good Sicilian Nero d’Avola.

Pretty new to it, but love the show. Trying to catch up by watching some of the older episodes via iTunes podcast.

Gary, I am sometimes concerned about the way you pour (glug, glug, glug). What about a careful pour, label up, as a rule to keep the sediment back? (Realizing, of course, that most young wines and most white wines won’t have sediment.)

hey gary, great show…i just finished watching the cowgirl creamery episode from awhile back. i’m a huge fan of cheese and living in the bay area have come to really appreciate cowgirl creamery!

QOTD: any nice port with any nice stinky cheese

This is going to sound whacked but one of my favorite wine/cheese pairings was
Manchego Cheese with Gato Negro Red. Maybe the fact that I was having an extraordinary day had something to do with it but the fake fruit in the Red just made the cheese pop.

Another good show. I enjoy your featuring lesser known varietals. I will be trying this grape.
QOTD: I don’t have a favorite pairing, but I do love sharp blue cheeses, gorgonzola, Roquefort, etc. Can you do a stinky cheese VS ice wine or VS new/old world chards or VS Muscadine / Chenin Blanc episode?

Oh and a Vinho Verde Episode would be key now that spring is around the corner 😉

roquefort and chateau d’yquem. nuff said.

QOTD: I just have the name of the cheese: manchego. That would make a good party; manchego and several wines.

Lovin’ the new format Gary, and the change of scene is exciting! I wonder where the Thunder Show is goin’ next…

QOTD: A good Late Vintage Bottled Port and some Stilton. I may have to go get some myself this weekend.

Too much rind makes yah blind, that’s what my mama told me.

QOTD: Brovia Dolcetto with Parmigiano Reggiano & brandied cherry’s. And add some soft Tome with truffle honey. yeah

QOTD: Bag of winn-dixie brand shredded cheddar on sale and thunderbird…do it do it!

Hey Gary,

Love the idea of reading comments. Any chance you would you consider a one day delay for those of us who watch on our iPods? I’m guilty of having stopped commenting once I switched over to the iPod. Now you’ve got me inspired again….but only if my comnent has a chance of making it on the air!
