It appears Sir Givvy is colour-blind. Shame, that, given the superior lighting in this episode. Of course, he wouldn’t want to be seen as “sharing” the wine with us, as Gary is wont to do before sticking his nose in the equine anus for a sniffy-sniff!

QOTD Close to 50/50. Whites would be higher were it not for the hideuous Oak Monster.

I am liking the new character.

For me the really funny thing about this video is that compared to the tasting videos on Wine Spectator this has more energy and life and actually makes them feel like watching paint dry.

QOTD: 60% red and 40% white

Dude, you should load up that excellent pipe before you start the show
or maybe you did… rowing your boat in the Himalayas??? ok sure.

QOTD.. I like reds. Probably 85%-90% red. The 15%-10%.. white burgundy, champagne, viognier, reisling…

So enjoy that excellent pipe!! …blah,blah,blah,blah….

Gary,The show was great, but you weren’t there?I/we want you back also here in Finland, because you are the best when you are that a original Gary Vay-ner-chuk, so yourself. And when you taste SA wines again?please,do that soon.

qotd: much like Dominus: more red in winter, more white/rose in summer. I try to drink all across the spectrum, really. I was becoming a red only person there for awhile, but now that I’m back onto whites and roses, reds are for rich foods ONLY! A cab does NOT go with a salad people!!!

You gotta love this! Gary does a parody of Gary. What an utterly pretentious snob! The Anti-Gary!! I can’t believe he stayed in character the whole time. Great job. Must be trying to work up to a Hollywood screen test someday!
QOTD: 90% red, 10% white.

QOTD: 90 red / 10 white. . . almost all champagne.
And by the way Sir Gary, the lighting used for this episode rendered more accuracy in color than anything you’ve done before.

QOTD: 51% red, 44% white, and 5% rose since December of 2006 (per my CellarTracker notes).

Great episode. Feel bad for those people in the comments who didn’t check out garyismad.com.

Sir Gary, Thank you so much for subbing for that loud, unsophisticated Gary. It was an honor and pleasure to hear from someone so totally arrogant and pompous. Tally ho. I drink about 90% red and 10% white.

C DiFranco
75-80% red, 20-25% white
