I’d say #3 was not only the most handsome man I’ve ever seen in my life, but his video also happened to be the best.
Great competition guys. May the best spoof win!

“Good Deliciousness” Hilarious! I’ve never laughed out loud to WLTV before, but this did it for me.

G, Been lurkin’ for bout a month now…WOW on the Tecmo Bowl. Challenge? Don’t tell me you pass every down. Chacoa Taco, WOW again! Just brought that old school back the other night, was dyin for one, but was no where in sight.

Question of my day for you is, give me 2 wines. 1 with complete balance and 1 with no balance in the same variety. I’m really trying to taste the differences. Keep dooin your thing man, It Rocks!!!! completely. I’m a huge Chargers fan so bringin the “Thunder” works for me.

# 3 by a mile!! Great video. Super creative and hillarious!

Welcome back… Dark Knight was great!

QOTD – assign people in group to wine descriptions. Someone drinks if you mention some fruits, another for veggies, another for spices, candy, chocolate, someone from HS – break it into enough descriptive categories so that everyone has good coverage.

Gotta check out the Gigondas! Loved the cork in the lens at the end, nice touch!

My vote #1 #1 #1! and here’s why…it was creative!!! #2 was disjointed like Joe Thiesman’s leg, and #3 had Patriots’ crap in it which lost my vote immediately!

QOTD: Game name: Bring the Thunder, Rule one: if Gary tastes wood everyone eats a handful of Grape Nuts. Rule two: if Gary dosen’t spit in the Jets bucket everyone finishes what’s in thier glass, Rule three: if Gary asks Mott to taste the wine, everyone trades glasses.

Loved Number 3, “2004 Tardieu Laurent Gigondas Vv”. Although the guy is a little creepy, like dracula creepy. I vote 3.

GV-QOTD-I have forever wanted to make a mini video series of “wine bottle tears”. Often times after a pour, a wine drips a drop across the label and it’s beautiful. If at all possible, when this occurs, I suggest that you include this in the drinking game. Never heard of Gigondas, but thanks for another great show!
