Monumental 20th episode. I would have liked to see you taste the deuce, bread, motz & pepper combo you mentioned. In other news, I found actual video footage of KittySafe (here called Stuart)- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00okMN9DnjA
Notice the similarity in hairstyle.

Wow! Great episode! Congratulations on your 20th!!!
I LOVE lots of char on my peppers and prefer roasting my own when I can. But I’m going to check out the Boticellis to keep on hand.

Great show..this was my first viewing.. Just wondering if you ever taste tested salsa and a sangria.. my favorites are amazingly Carlo Rossi Sangria and the fontana medium heat in the blue jar for the salsa.. looking forward to a review on that..
admin
Hi Suzanne- None of them in the jar compared to a home roasted but like I said with a little doctoring up they will get the job done- that acidic taste is what takes getting used to
admin
Dumbphase that is classic LMAO!
admin
whats happening Lori! I found an old picture of us from HS- damn if I could find it again- I will look!
Have done salsa’s in the taste test videos and made a few- I am going to do another episode of Salsa so I will try that with the Carlo Rossi- Does Carlo still have the handle built into the jug? We used to drink the Paizanno?
SacramentoCharlie

Hey does this dive have a forum? I have some photoshopped pictures I want to post.

Here’s a tip ya noob, activate the Akismet spam plugin and check “Comment author must have a previously approved comment” and “A comment is held for moderation” in WordPress because I’m sure Mr. How to Make Thousands of Dollars Posting Links on Google is really a legit commenter.

Set the time will you.

Everything is better with a Kahuna head on it.

Your aspect ratio is off or are you really that long?
Mott
Wow, this is liberating.
admin
The aspect ratio makes me look thinner- plus I only have to encode it once! If I only new someone who was good at this stuff! LOL Mott rules
Mott
Does Obama watch this show?
admin
Yes as the Galaxies most popular food and wine show he surely tunes in daily!

Congrats on reaching twenty episodes Pat!!!! BTW- Maybe flank steak has been more expensive over the last couple of years because there are more health conscience people buying more of it.
grape_ape
hey Mott, what’s up with the forums?!? Guess we have to hang out here now…Kahuna, time to install a forum!
Ivan
KAHUNA: Shame on you… no “smelly smell” before tasting the peppers. Haven’t you learned anything by now.
Congrats on the big 20.
TimF
When are the Kahunasfoodandwine forums coming online?
Coupe 60
Hmmm…Mott offers helpful suggestions…then WLTV goes down… I want to see the cameraman for the upcoming episodes….

Hey Luvgrapes- These damn health nuts ruin everything!

what is going on?
AnthonyS
I hope you don’t mind but I’ve started a spreadsheet to keep track of all your episodes. I have also coined the term Kahunaholics.
AnthonyS
By the way, I’m curious to know what my Facebook post was. Something about Bejeweled Blitz I’m guessing.
joe g

Thanks Joe G – can not wait to do some cooking with you-in a kitchen sort of way! Joe G rocks it out cooking-
Kittysafe
Consider linking up “Mott-style” URLS for the foods and wines you taste on the show, would be fantastic.

2005 Bodegas Diaz Bayo Ribera del Duero Nuestro - Spain, Castilla y León, Ribera del Duero (8/15/2010)
very dark in color was a little shocked for some reason - nose attacked with some big blackberry jam and whiff of the 14.5% comes through with a touch of vanilla- The fruit attacks up front and would make you think this is a much younger wine. Great dark fruit - feel to thrown anyone in the description cause they are there. what seperates this from just being a fruit bomb is that it has secondary flavors baking spice and shaved pencil and the oak while present is not overbearing.
There is a bit of a bitterness on the finish and agree this is not a great wine to pair with food in general but I think some smoky bbq or chipotle pork dish at $18 I would re-buy this (90 pts.)
2007 Mockingbird Hill Cabernet Sauvignon - USA, California, Napa Valley (8/12/2010)
very nice cabernet for under $15 - what makes this nice is that the fruit shines through - the nose is a big blueberry pie with a hint of alcohol followed by a beautiful up front fruit attack of cherry with a little pomegranite the mid range of this wine lacks depth and character and the finish rounds out with some tart cassis- what is surprising is that the finish with its in check oak actually lasts a while-going to save some and see if the mid pal rounds out later- nice wine that I would rebuy (87 pts.)
N.V. Ca' Furlan Cuvée Béatrice - Italy, Veneto (7/25/2010)
Really enjoyed this prosecco - color was a light straw color and the nose had some refreshing floral notes and almost a pineapple hint on the nose- I would call the a champagne drinkers prosecco in that is very low on the sweetness scale. This wines starts to change a lot as it warms up and you almost get some of the tropical flavors you would find in a Sauvignon Blanc -nice acidity on the finish- Have had 3 bottles so far and will be getting more for $10 this is a no brainer- Oh and it has a champagne type closure so you do not need a corkscrew like other prosecco's (89 pts.)
2009 Bodegas Ateca / Zabrin Calatayud Garnacha de Fuego Old Vines - Spain, Aragón, Calatayud (7/25/2010)
Another Jorge Ordonez wine that delivers in the sub $10 range- forget sub $10 paid $6.39 for it- I mean come on that is an outright steal - this wine checks in with somenice cherry/rasberry and a hint of the alcohol comes through - there is a pleasant easy drinking nature to this wine that we really enjoyed- the brightness of the fruit was met with a little backbone and its youth is clear on the finish which can show a touch of the 14.5% alcohol. This is a go to wine when you are looking at a Dolcetto or a beaujolais heck if you are a California bright fruit pinot noir drinker and can not find something under $20 to fit you needs for a daily - give this a whirl it may do well for you (86 pts.)
2008 X Winery White X - USA, California, North Coast (7/3/2010)
was very discouraged about the light color of this wine but this really came through with much more flavor than I thought- seems like the extra 4 months in bottle since others have reviewed it have allowed this wine to come together more- I honestly can not see anyone not enjoying this wine- from a wine geek to a novice- I will post my detailed notes a little later but this is a perfect summer party wine for $12 (88 pts.)
2008 Alexander Valley Vineyards Zinfandel Redemption - USA, California, Sonoma County, Dry Creek Valley (7/3/2010)
only had one glass of this and it was very nice - some blueberry/plumb on the nose with a touch of spice- dark berry carried through on the taste and this is some nice cracked pepper notes- a little thin before the finish but that may have rounded out as it breathed a little more- very characteristic of Alexander Valley Vineyards with very vineyard driven wines- light touch by the winemaker- for $16-$17 will try another- (88 pts.)
2003 Toad Hollow Pinot Noir Eye of the Toad - USA, California, Sonoma County (7/20/2010)
Toad Hollow is a great spot to stop in at their tasting room in Healdsburg - fun wines and very easy going staff. Sadly this wine was past its prime - was not aweful but just not very interesting- nose was a little bit of floral and the taste was some muted strawberry- current score is not reflective of what this wine once was- Had a few bottles of this over the years and it was an easy drinking, food friendly wine which checked in at 11.5% alcohol - a once fine Rose' (84 pts.)
2007 Buehler Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon - USA, California, Napa Valley (7/3/2010)
dark fruits on the nose backed by a Hi-C brightness felt like I got a whiff of the alcohol on the nose also- but very vibrant nose- FYI this was in decanter fo 1 hour- taste carried through with the dark cherry, pipe tobacco and a little caramel- oak is clearly present but in balance - the only thing is the alcohol on this wine is way to noticeable on the finish at this point- and that rarely bothers me- the finish is the only thing keeping this from a 90 point wine for me as the fruit is very nice-I think this wine would pair very well with some gorgonzole or blue cheeses - At $20-$22 I would try this again for sure- (88 pts.)
2006 Tenuta Sette Ponti Crognolo Toscana IGT - Italy, Tuscany, Toscana IGT (6/17/2010)
a 375 enjoyed with the wife so only could review based on 1 glass - went very will with grilled pizza-prosciutto topped- really an ideal wine in 375 format some nice cherry on the nose and a little with a hint of cocoa - carried a little earthyness and cherry with a touch of pencil shaving- enjoyed this an was really at 88 but the last few sips it seemed to be opening up a little more-have more bottles and will give some more air time- great food wine (89 pts.)
2006 Marietta Cellars Petite Sirah Alexander Valley - USA, California, Sonoma County, Alexander Valley (7/9/2010)
very dark wine - over ripe plum and blue berry on the nose- enjoyed the fruit of this wine though at times it felt a bit to the Hi-C side had a solid midpallet with a little baking spice mixed- solid tanin - For the price I would try another bottle of this I just felt this bottle was a little to "jammy" to me. This was in the decantor for 45 minutes- If the fruit mellowed this really could become a stellar bottle- next botle will tell if I buy a few to put away-I think many who enjoy big fruit wines will like this a lot- (88 pts.)
