I always feel bad for you when you do shows like this, Gary. It always seems when you try to bring attention to a wine that most of us dont know about all the wines seem to miss the mark. It hurts because I know you care about us and love wine so much and want us to expand our palates. Maybe next time, eh? *wink wink* QOTD: I cant really answer this one. My memory is too foggy on presidents past, and although I feel Clinton did very well in office (sexual scandals aside), I wouldnt put him in my top two. Im also too far out of touch on foreign politics to make a vote for anyone from another country, either.

QOTD: I have to go with Franklin Delano Roosevelt. He was brilliant, a true liberal, he helped to save the world, and he lead our country at a time when we could be justly proud of who we were. WAY more than can be said for the monsters currently ruining our country and our planet. Obama ‘08!

Robert E. Lee. (I know he wasn’t a President, but he should have been). He fought like hell for “his country”, and when he lost, he embraced (& was embraced) by the North. A complete gentleman. I never heard of Gavi, and given my inability to bang out the big bones, I will never hear of it again. Thanks for the insight Gary.

Hey GV,
Second favorite President was probably Thomas Jefferson, who was also the world’s first wine critic and tried to bring noble wines to America. Nice enthusiasm on this show. Sorry it took so long to comment.

The subtitle of this episode should have been “Gary Vaynerchuk takes down the 3 biggest Gaviâ€™s out there today!”. Very interested to try a Gavi, in spite of the episode results. Really appreciate being introduced to new wines. Thanks Gary.

QOTD: No real favorite, so no real second favorite.

Too bad you couldn’t try the Villa Sparina. I really like that one–lots of mineral, floral with lots going on.

To bad on the Gavi’s. Qotd Has to be Ulysses S. Grant because he is on the 50 dollar bill which takes second to Bejamin Franklin on the 100 dollar bill. Thanks Gary and WLTV crew.

QOTD: Boris Yeltzin (sp?). C’mon you know Boris was a Vayniac. That homie loves Gavi too, in fact he likes 7-Up WITH Gavi and anything else that remotely resembles alcohol.

Must seek Gavi.

I found some Gavi today that was in a 375 ml bottle so I guess if it is not to my liking much won’t go to waste. It is Bersano 2003, I will give it a ‘whirl’ after I watch today’s show.

bush, because they are as mass produced as the gavi you tasted and are as bad.

Gary bro - you endear me to you by your butchering of the word “Principessa”. As an opera singer I’m obsessive-compulsively bound to note that the “ci” in Italian diction is pronounced “chih” as opposed to “sih”. Also, the double-consonant is always hesitated on and emphasized. Effectively the word will be (phonetically) “prin-chih-PES-sa”. And please know that I’m totally not hatin’ on you, I’m just here to rock!…the wine world.

QOTD: I’m rather tickled by anyone who says that “we sure could use some of the founding father’s wisdom right about now”. I encourage anyone who puts any stock in that idea to read “A Brilliant Solution” by Prof. Carol Berkin, the leading authority on Revolutionary Women and one of the top minds on Early America. Then they’d realize that if the founding fathers were here today, their brains would explode.

That said, FDR is the man - second only to good ‘ole Teddy.

You’ll have to find some better Gavis…I’m intrigued. But thanks for telling it like it is.

QOTD: JFK (cause FDR was #1)

“Californication” — are you kidding? It can’t even light “Mad Men”’s menthol cigarettes, let alone compete.

QOTD: TR

Dude, Californication — the BEST show on TV right now. I wasn’t sure about it at first since I hate the whole “I’m a depressed writer” bit (’cause I am one and all, I don’t get nearly that much ass, nor do I drive a Porsche), but the show is really going above and beyond that premise and really hitting its stride. Funny enough, just last night I was walking on 7th Avenue, less than 24 hours after having watched the extremely disturbing yet completely hilarious sex scene in the most recent episode, when I passed right by Evan Handler (Charlie the agent), walking the other way! I threw water in his face…just kidding.

lol, I never had a good Gavi either… nor did I try to look
for one. Similar to Prosecco, really.

Very fun and entertaining show today, BTW

Never had a Gavi, and can’t say that this espiode will change that, but I am intrigued and look forward to GV finding the Vayniacs some good ones.

QOTD: Bill Clinton.

Hello everyone,
Is it rude to spit at a wine tasting event?
I’m a wine noob and absolutely love this show. Keep up the good work Gary.

I’ve had my eye on a Gavi at my local wine shop. Thankfully, it’s not one of the one’s tried today.

QOTD: My second favorite president is Polk. Thanks to him the United States spans from the Atlantic to the Pacific! (We should have gone for North and South too. )

Green beans was the best part of this episode, those wines were a big let down BIG let down. Californication is a kick ass show, can’t believe he was on the X files.
QOTD Bill Clinton, what what!!
