Good show. I love bacon pretty much any way I can get it. Being raised in the Southern U.S. it was always a part of breakfast but mom would even have it for dinner sometimes along with fried cabbage, fried potatoes, and cornmeal gravy, talk about amazing!

QOTD: pt. 1- Other than by itself, there’s nothing much better than a perfectly made BLT.
pt. 2- Will you please, please, please!!! do another show for all the CKC’s out there. I’m still getting into wine and rarely have more than ten bucks to spend on a bottle so I need some major value plays if I’m going to keep expanding my palate (if it’s not too much to ask throw in the Bodegas Borsao Campo de Borja Vina Borgia, 2005).

Bacon is the only food I think I can smell through my laptop screen….
QOTD:Grilled cheese with bacon followed by a quart of milk.

QOTD2:What is the biggest mistake you ever made at Wine Library?

QOTD … nice and cripsy with scrambled eggs on the side

QOTD for u … what’s up with April 16th? Confirmed or not?

QOTD 1: I love some bacon with pancakes, where a bit of syrup gets on the bacon. Sweet and salty together really does it for me.

QOTD 2: What’s your favorite thing to eat at a diner? Does it involve bacon?

Crispy! Gary, if you could create a wine blend, what grapes and % would you use?

That was a fun one G-sauce!

QOTD: My SO and I both like soft chewy bacon, I think we are the only ones who like it not crispy and burnt.

QFYOTD: Are we ever going to see the WLTV recorded from your kitchen last night? I love the random flipcam shows!

Question for you: How do I get the drool out of my keyboard? Seriously two more hours before I close the shop and the saliva dam just busted wide open!

I haven’t had a Conundrum the past couple of years, sounds like time to revisit it and will definitely seek out the Paradis

QOTD: I like my bacon with breakfast and something sweet, jelly or syrup that salty meets sweet play rocks my socks off, Sauternes and Bleu cheese anyone?

QOTD: I love bacon all around. How could one possibly not like pork + fat + salt??? Many possibilities and I can’t say I have an all time favorite but one of the contenders is without a doubt freshly fried bacon, crumbled over a cobb salad that’s loaded with hard-boiled egg, fresh gorgonzola, blue cheese dressing, maybe some fresh avocado, and well whatever other heart attack catalyst can be found.

QOTD for Gary: Have you ever drank Cain from St. Helena? Whether the NV series or Concept, or well Cain Five for that matter. I’m a big Cain believer and love the NV series. And what about wine from Jura??? Especially Vin de Paille!!! I’m dying to see you taste both of them on the Thunder Show.

QOTD: Raw bacon is awesome. I think I’m gonna get me one right now. With mustard and bread and Alibernet 06

QOTD for you: Why don’t you try some eastern european wines. like Alibernet, Neronet, Cabernet Moravia, Muller Thurgau…?

When I will have time I will try to send you some:)

Hi Gary,

I really like a penne or spaghetti carbonara with a lot of grated pecorino or parmigiano on top.

Question for Gary: Will the wayner-baby be Sasha’s first grand child?

QotD: I like my bacon with egg & cheese in a croissant or english muffin… Damn that’s tastey..

When you do your scoring, is price a considerable influence, or is it mostly about the taste with minor points added or deducted for price?

QOTD: On a grilled cheese sandwich! And on EVERYTHING ELSE. Bacon makes EVERYTHING better!

Great show Gary! My vegetarian girlfriend made me bacon for the first time about 2 weeks ago. I just proposed to her on Monday — no, not because of the bacon. We are both big fans of the show. I love you Trudy!

QOTD: Love the bacon thickly sliced and crispy.

GV- QOD…I like bacon over grilled romaine, blue cheese, red onion and bacon grease for the dressing!

Any plans for a Seattle visit, Taste WA this year? I’m finally going to be in a city worth visiting! Part 2 wouldn’t you say you’re due for another WALLA WALLA show and shout out!? Look into Still Water Creek Vineyard for Syrah…i’ll call it right now!

QOTD: Depends. If it’s sliced thin, I like it floppy, but it it’s thick, I want it nice and crisp. Really though, I’d eat a bacon steak cooked anywhere from rare to well done.

QOTD for GV: Are you heading out this way for the Taste of Washington? I don’t think I’m going to go because I don’t want to shell out that kind of cash but I was hoping for another Vayniac get together at Seattle Wine Storage. That event was awesome. Haven’t seen anything yet but it would make for a great birthday night. (4/4, no big deal). If not, suggestions for what I should seek out to pop on the big night?

Awesome show. I’m going to have some bacon tonight.

I like bacon fried – pure – simple and ohhhhh so good.
Gary – what is the best wine you have tasted – price not withstanding

QOTD: Bacon in a sandwich, crispy with freshly cracked tellicherry black peppercorns.

I’ve heard of Deep Fried Bacon and I thought…only in America.

MY QOTD For Gary: Have you ever had deep fried bacon? ***WATCH OUT*** 2 parter…..What kind of wine could possibly be paired with French Fries?

Question for the Fans: Have you ever had deep fried bacon and where?

QOTD: I enjoy bacon most with fried egg and cheese on an English muffin. I also really enjoy the smile on my wife’s face when I make bacon for her, or when she smells bacon, or when she talks about bacon…she really likes bacon – maybe as much as the dog on that commercial for the bacon-flavored dog snacks, “Bacon, bacon, bacon, IT’S BACON!!!”

I like my bacon in pasta carbonara with a nice pinot grigio.

On a BLT with the first tomato from the garden – I can’t wait!
