line of the day – ‘this smells like a helium balloon filled with oak chips’

After the previous episode where GV seemed a bit full of himself he’s back to his fantastic best in this one. The fruit machine analogy was pure gold.

    My loveof bacon is the main reason this synagogue going Jew will never keep kosher.
    My love of wine is another. No matter what they say, all kosher wines are terrible.
    I look forward to viewiing the show.

    QOTD: I love Bacon on pizza!

    Do you think you will ever write another book (either wine related or not)?

    Don’t worry about the cholesterol. Bacon’s good for you (better than Tilapia, supposedly). It’s an omega-3/omega-6 thing, or so I’m told.

    Try pairing some bacon with beer! Porters and stouts, or especially a Rauchbier! It’s made with smoked malt, and it tastes EXACTLY like bacon. Yes: moon landings, seedless watermelon, and now bacon-beer. Cash in your chips and tip your bartenders. They’ve done it.

  • QOTD:
    Every year, me and my friends go to the Leeds Music Festival, over here in England.
    Every morning, we wake up, extremely hung over, and cook bacon on cheap disposable BBQ.
    Shove it in some bread, get some ketchup in there. And enjoy it with a warm beer.
    Awesome

    Gary’s QOTD:
    When you choose a cologne, do you stand there in the store for hours smelling and smelling and pointing out all the things you smell?
    I think you could probably do that as a job.

    Awesome pairing… too bad the wines weren’t a little better…

    QOTD for ME: While BBQ dinner, nothing like throwing a few pieces of bacon on the grill and eating it as it gets done… can you say Scooby Snack…?

    QOTD for YOU: Any plans on an extended SoCal trip to meet your GROWING number of West Coast Vayniacks…?

    QOTD: Put as many strips as you can on as many sheet pans as your oven will hold. Bake them for 15 minutes, flip them and bake for an additional 5 minutes. Pile them up on a platter, and without utensils, eat as much as you can in 10 minutes 🙂 Pop a double dose of your cholesterol medication and repeat.
