“Why would I not drink the wine?” Love it.

Haven’t been top ten for awhile now. Yahoo!

Guys, you’re not supposed to brag about being top 10. In the world of CH its all about who’s “F1RST”

Am I the only one who thought the dude looks like Martin Seargent? Good show. Enjoyed it as a CKC myself.

QOTD1: It would smell and taste nasty.
QOTD2: I’d have to go with one big tooth.
January 30, 2009

*/^_^\*
qotd: spinach
qqotd: def one big tooth…
January 30, 2009

Hipser
Streeter, you’re so cool…
January 30, 2009

WineWoman
Definitely will watch the MTV Show debut!!!!

QOTD 1: I wouldn’t even want to imagine what that scent would be—afraid of destroying my sense of smell forever!!

QOTD 2: Having just visited the dental hygienist and have her scale, scrape, and floss the front, back, and side of every single tooth in my mouth–I might consider one big tooth. Being a piano player-instructor, I definitely need all ten fingers–sometimes more.
January 30, 2009

Mario
QOTD 1: duh… tanins

QOTD 2: No question, 1 big tooth! No more flossing

This is a hilarious episode… totally brings me back to college. My friends are still always sending me links to collegehumor.com… some funny stuff on there. Though, who are these two? What exactly do they do for the site? The TV show? I’d go to your link, but then I’d get fired for viewing collegehumor at work.

Really interesting seeing people who truly know nothing about wine on the show. Haven’t even seen one episode of the show… that’s pretty cool. Fun stuff.

QOTD1: Uhh… I don’t really know?
QOTD2: I think I’d rather have one giant tooth. I like the ability to do things with my fingers, yet from a functionality standpoint, I don’t really think individual teeth are any better than one big tooth. Though, that’d suck if you had to get your one tooth pulled.

One big finger.. I could wear a glove!!!

And.. it would smell like the abuse that Mott takes on a daily basis with that camera of his.. just how many corks has he been hit by?
January 30, 2009

Jaybird76
QOTD… I am going with one finger, it would be considered my middle finger right?
January 30, 2009

John Ratcliffe-Lee
Love the CH guys. Hilarious episode, really great stuff.
January 30, 2009

Dominus
Interesting show. What I would give to be that young and carefree though I believe I knew Portugal was a “country” at that age. We think we have economic problems now . . .

QOTD #1: Fumes would probably kill ya but am guessing it would smell awful.
QOTD #2: Easy one, one big tooth.

TGIF

Cheers!
January 30, 2009

BW
QOTD #1 : An oil refinery
QOTD #2 : I’ll go with the big finger – It would be hard to drink wine with 1 big tooth.

Other than that … I am at a loss for words to describe this show. It was random. I am sure the CKC’s will love it.
January 30, 2009

sam
Very fun show!

It was nice to have two wine dunces on the show. They knew very, very little about wine but got a crap load of laughs outta me.

Sarah’s QOTD: the wine would smell like a latex fun fest…yeah!?

Guy’s QOTD: I can do more with my mouth that with my hands…

I like Sarah’s bangs, she’s kinda cute.

Is this a wine comment?
January 30, 2009

Little Jonny
Wow! I’m a CKC, and this was a bit embarrassing to watch…

QOTD1: Cockshutt (?)
QOTD2: Definitely big tooth. What the hell would I do without fingers? It’s way too great of an evolutionary leap to give up!
January 30, 2009

shawnandlu
QOTD 1: it would smell exactly like two buck chuck. In fact you discovered Trader Joes secret. Run for you life Fred Franzia is after you.

QOTD 2. The giant finger. Finally I could defeat my horrid nose picking problem.
January 30, 2009

urbwes
QOTD:
1. IDK, but it would be lethal.
2. Big tooth (I need my fingers for sweet music making)
January 30, 2009

BlakeW
QOTD 1: Definitely TANNINS!

QOTD 2: One big tooth, one big finger would just be inconvenient.
January 30, 2009

Tom G
Holy crap. Streeter and Sarah with Gary? I think my pants just got messy. Only thing better would have been if Streeter would have come out as Phantom of the Office and Amir made some crazy cameo.
January 30, 2009

QOTD#1: Mcdonalds breakfast.
QOTD#2: One big tooth for sure.
Awesome show, fun guests, thanks!

cute! I want both teeth and fingers(thumb to forefinger opposition) and would never drink latex. Ever.
January 30, 2009

Daniel Kemp
This was a cool episode. I liked how you had wines that were good for beginners.

QOTD’s:
1. Burnt tires.
2. One big finger.
January 30, 2009

great show

Brian Smith
Haha-larious.

QOTD1:Jersey
QOTD2:I would go with the 1 finger, but it would have to be on my left hand.

Great show.
January 30, 2009

AaronB
QOTD1: It would probably smell like helium balloons, plastic, and tires.

QOTD2: The big tooth. Much easier to brush and floss.
January 30, 2009

Steve
I don’t know, Gary, that stoner dude was, I think, seriously questioning you if Portugal was a country! You’re scraping the bottom of the wine barrel in terms of guests. Just go solo, man! These two would be good ganja tasters, but not the grape. Just my opinion.
January 30, 2009

I am so sick of snarky, slouchy hipsters.
January 30, 2009

Hello Vino
More guests! More guests! We love you too, Gary, but the guests push your energy through the roof. Excellent episode!

QOTD 1: It would smell like the Jersey Turnpike.
QOTD 2: One big tooth. No doubt.
January 30, 2009

Jay
Totally a throw-away show for the serious wine folks but hopefully they stuck it out to catch that awesome Portuguese thundermaker.

QOTD#1: It would smell like ass.

QOTD#2: Definitely one big tooth – so much easier to maintain
January 30, 2009

Genghis Philip
Loved this ep so much.

QOTD: I presume it would smell like condoms, with the latex and rubber and all (esp. if it’s been melted down to wine consistency and cooled so there’s no direct “burning” smell”).

QOTD, the sequal: One big tooth, because not having thumbs is for suckers.
January 30, 2009

Gary Vaynerchuk
These guys are really nice people and I really enjoyed it, when u do 5 a week it’s fun to mix it up, I hope peeps caught that Portugal wine too, cause that was a HUGE WINNER!
January 30, 2009

tclwood
loved it, loved it, loved it. I would definitively take the big ole finger.
January 30, 2009

DirtWineKen
Funniest goddamn show yet!!
QOTD1: Melted Plastic, of course. (why is it chicks don’t like red wine anyway!?!?)
QOTD2: One big finger; but only if I can have one big toe as well.
January 30, 2009

liz
whoa, funniest ep ever.

qotd: it would smell like cancer
qotd: one big tooth – cause typing w/ one finger = hard to do.
January 30, 2009

Ryan
Best episode ever! hahaha

QOTD1: Poop
QOTD2: One big tooth for sure.
January 30, 2009

Couves
I don’t get any oak or creme brule on the Palestra, although it is smooth. What I love is its upfront acidity –great for food (and, of course, incredible value). The 2007 is great too. Thankfully, the oak monster doesn’t know where Portugal is. Palestra smells like Church insense – now she’s just playing to the Portuguese crowd! Anyway, this is the best value I’ve found in Portuguese wine – and cheaper than good beer.

QOTD1: What you just tasted, I think.
QOTD2: One Big Tooth – I have already perfected the toothless grin.
January 30, 2009

Dr T in NC
well, GV seems to be enjoying himself!
January 30, 2009

Vintage59
Crazy funny show!. Like 2 Blind Mice!

BTW- the was 61 Cheval Blanc, St Emilion . All Cab Franc but a thimble full of Merlot in this Classic. Bonehead Movie producers did not do their home work.
January 30, 2009

Jeff T
Great show. Unexpectedly funny. Answer to question of the day: One big tooth is better, otherwise it’d be tough to play the piano.
January 30, 2009

A dumb Rhine king
You forgot to have him drink the bucket.

QOTD: I think Genghis Philip hit it on the nose! I would add that it would smell like old used ones though, like when you forget to take out your trash and there’s one on top for a while.

QOTD2: I would say one big tooth. You’d never have anything stuck in your teeth again. The other way would make getting to 2nd base more like getting to 5th.
January 30, 2009

Donzell
Gary,

I love this episode. Every once in a while it is good to be silly, and this show was silly & hilarious.

QOTD #1 – It would smell like my Papa Jones auto body shop.

QOTD #2 – I would rather have one big finger with one big fingernail. Too many people from up north think us southerners have only one tooth anyway. Why add to the stereotype?

Donzell
January 30, 2009

OSCAR FALCON LARA
HA HA HA That Was so Much Fun !! Laughs like you wouldn’t believe.

QOTD1: It would probably smell like the shop at a bus depot.

QOTD2: I would rather have one large tooth.

January 30, 2009

bill wrollcia
classic gv, i laughed for the entire time, reminds me of college, fifteeen years back, you to im sure,
QOTD1? it would smell like gv on his mongoose peeling out in his high school parking lot, cause we all know he was to cool to take the bus.lol,

QOTD2, no doubt , giant tooth, enough said, lol. thanks for the laugh, enjoy your vacation
January 30, 2009

Baytenders
This episode really sucked me in. It ended up being a good change of pace. The best part was watching GV manage both of them, keep on track with the wine, and still bang out a excellent show. Superb.
January 30, 2009

i laughed out loud and woke the family, bring them back

it would smell like your brain cells dying. id rather have regular hands and one tooth; i dont smile much any how.
January 30, 2009

A great effort by all and very entertaining! Can I invite them to my next party?

Who says Beavis and Butthead are no more!?!
January 30, 2009

Heather W
What a great segue to a Friday night. I feel like I should be going to a house party or something now. I was cracking up the whole time. Good luck with the show on MTV!

QOTD1: like a clown riding a unicycle that’s on fire, or that icewine

QOTD2: Giant finger, i guess, or if possible could i substitute for a giant toe. I love my multiple teeth and multiple fingers.

I do not understand how one could predict the hangover effect of an alcohol tyoe of which one has never had.
January 30, 2009

Heather W
Ok, wait I want to amend my QOTD1 answer…I have never watched college humor before, so I check it out, and now I think that it would smell like a 5′8″ anatomically correct Sarah Schneider (insert expletive here)robot made out of latex and titanium. ahahaaha, i loved that shiz.
January 30, 2009

Yvettew
hahaha, that was a great show!

QOTD 1: Pineapples

QOTD 2: the finger of course
January 30, 2009

Justin L. Ove
That was hilarious, thank you.

QOTD: Lunch meat, and switch my belly button with my nose. You so crazy.

I must be have finally reached a point in my life where I have been out of college too long (and I had a blast in college and thought I was still in that mold!)… this one didn’t grab my attention like it seems to have done for many other peeps above.
January 30, 2009

Richard Ritter
BoBo….nuff said.

QOTD#1: Probably like wine.
QOTD#2: One big tooth, (with a grill piece on it).

Out!
January 30, 2009

Durango Friend
QOTD 2: Definitely one giant fingernail on the left side, with the right hand being a normal 5 fingers. You lose your “one” big tooth and it’s over, but at least you could still drink wine. Also can you imagine the toothache!

Can’t wait to try the Portugese pick. Thanks, Gary and College Humor cast. Fun show.
January 30, 2009

Harry
Wow, Streeter said “the church incest”.
January 31, 2009

Melissa
I have so much to say about this episode.

Firstly, I’m a HUGE NFL fan and can’t imagine a Super Bowl party without lots of red wine. Lots of white and bubbly too! P.S. I’m a Jet’s fan too, Gary!

Secondly, in the novel “Sideways” Miles’ ex-wife loved Merlot, that’s why he didn’t want to drink Merlot!

Thirdly, the questions of the day:

#1: Tar
#2: I’ll take the big finger. I like to smile, so the one big tooth would be way too noticeable. Plus, it would be really easy to give someone the finger if they pissed me off!
January 31, 2009

Ryan R
Better hope that big curvy tooth didn’t fall out, or you’d be fu*ked!
(I think part of that is a Mitch Hedberg joke, but whatever)
January 31, 2009

Matthew Loop
My spleen is hurting from laughing so hard! Awesome show. I’d go with the 1 big finger. Definitely best question of the year… haha!
January 31, 2009

Goncasurus-Rex
TREMENDOUS show Gary V. I have to give a shout out to your guests, very hardcore, I guess Im saying it was not bobo. anyway:
QOTD #1- I guess everything you just listed, but more liquidy
QOTD #2- totally the tooth dude, no cavities inbetween the teeth, yea I definatly need the use of my fingers as well
January 31, 2009

JS
This definitely didn’t do it for me like it did for the others. It was a 31 minute reminder of all of the stoners who lived in my apartment building junior and senior years. But to your guest’s credit: all of the stoners were avid readers of collegehumor.
January 31, 2009

MikeyK
I wouldn’t and couldn’t finish this episode. I go to this site for education on wine. i hated this episode. I will recommend this 1 through 614 but skip this one. I will still vote for K Rose though. DIGG! DIGGNATION! TRS! Guys on WLTV

MrJCG1
Pay no mind to the haters Gary. This was a fun episode. Probably not for everyday consumption but a nice change of pace.

BTW, sorry MikeyK, most of us come for the education, true, but you can get that anywhere. No one, I repeat, no one, educates all the while ENTERTAINING, as much as OUR Gary.

Just go take a look at some of the vids from that OTHER Gary. YOU KNOW WHO!!!

QOTD 1: You would have a 100 point Sauternes you opened 20 years too early.
QOTD 2: Tough one…one tooth causes problems similar to having a TV/VCR combo…One breaks you gotta bring the whole thing in for repair. But, how would I pick my nose with one big finger? THIS QUESTION IS BLOWING MY MIND!!!
January 31, 2009

Bennett A. Joseph
Ha, that was blast.

Gotta choose huge tooth over huge finger. Gotta be able to type.

College Itinerary with Professor Vaynerchuk throwing mad game with WINE APPRECIATION 101…More like blowing a .101…JK! Gary, this episode although is disjointed, THIS IS WHAT YOU’RE ALL ABOUT! Great job! I’m excited about the 09′ for you. I want more in depth episodes to “get in the know” being in the industry for 10 years, but f’n love episodes like this with college humor to speed the seed of wine interest.
January 31, 2009

jfletch
GREAT episode. Its always interesting to hear how beginners taste wine. I remember tasting wine as a young chap and saying alot of the same things…”it tastes like wine”.
It looked like you had fun filming.
Id rather have one tooth….that would make the dentist trips a breeze.
January 31, 2009

rimarfish
Hillarious show!
QOTD #2: the tooth
January 31, 2009

apj_bobswineguy
Open your mind as well as your palate.
I thought about bailing on this episode for several minutes. But…as a somm at a “serious” place I am so glad I stuck around for one of the best 1/2 hrs.
First, oh to be 20-something again and be funny cocky. (i’m neither now).
2nd-tannins. I use that a lot and finally someone stopped me the other day and said WTF is that! I’ve gotten to be one of those “200″ wine geeks. It was great to hear them say things like “oh i can use non-food descriptors.”
This show was educational!!!! Not everyone cares about being exactly like the WS or RP prototype.
Gary — you are “changing the wine world” I love this episode.

Seemed like the High Times of WLTV. Thats cool though miss those times!

This was a fun show for us younger wine drinkers. Thanks Gary.
January 31, 2009

Rembrant Q Einstein
Best episode EVER!

QOTD: The bangs are hot
QOTD 2: The giant tooth (no loss of functionality)

And bobo is an awesome word, and Michael Jackson’s monkey. Brings these guys back soon Gary it was a killer show!
January 31, 2009

Rani Haykal
Interesting Show

While I did laugh my ass off for most of the show, those two stoners seemed to be overdoing it a bit (as in they didnt seem natural or it seemed as if they were trying too hard to fit what they thought people wanted them to be).
Overall, I did enjoy the show though and love seeing douro wines still showing well.

Jocelyn
Why all the hate for Sarah and Streeter? I wouldn’t call them stoners OR hipsters, but I suppose as a Collegehumor fan, I’m more immune…

Anyway, I thought Gary was the annoying one. Not offensively, but after hearing “sniffity-sniff” a few times, I’ll be really pleased if I never hear it again ever.

Sarah’s QQ: The Chicago River in July
Streeter’s QQ: I was going to say finger, but the tooth people have made a good argument, so I’m going to have to go with that.
January 31, 2009

BobbyTiger
As previously commented……”Why would I not drink the wine”?, set the tone for the show.
QOTD. #1 Standing next to a lady on the metro with heavy perfume on.
#2 The former. [talking about giving the finger........].

Great Episode.

QOTD 1:I couldn’t imagine what it would smell like

QOTD 2: I’d prefer one big tooth, easier to clean in the mornings.
January 31, 2009

Rich W
Truly annoying episode, unhelpful, not very entertaining. The kids tried too hard to be entertaining and failed. What’s the point of this show? Are you plugging some dumb show? Ok, it was a commercial…or something. I don’t think you need to get 20 somethings on the show to get a younger audience if that’s what you were trying. I didn’t think they cared to learn about wine. Now, if you had two college age students that wanted to drink wine and learn more about it and still be silly that would have been fine.

I’m dissappointed in you Gary. This was all over the place, no value to the viewer at all. Unless you like crappy, forced humor.
January 31, 2009

Beau Mitall
I cant believe I just watched that whole thing. That being said I would rather have one big tooth as it would be easier to rinse the red wine stains.
January 31, 2009

Dr. Lance
Hilarious episode! Reminds me of my brain in college mode.
QOTD 1: N2O (nitrous oxide)! Yay!
QOTD 2: One big tooth–to cut the foil off of wine bottles.
January 31, 2009

Pierre
That was an amazing show. I love getting the perspective from the every-man.

QOTD 1: It would smell like post-coital sadness
QOTD 2: Tooth definitely. The one giant fingernail thing is just too creepy.
January 31, 2009

Johnnyutah
QOTD: One finger, but it would have to be the middle finger so i could flip someone off from 200 yards out.
January 31, 2009

ex-lurkdawg
I almost didn’t make it through this one. It looked like it was much more fun for you guys than it was for me. That’s okay, though.
qotd1: ??? It looks like your bangs get in your eyes a lot. (you asked)
qotd2: The big tooth. I think it would be easier to deal with.
January 31, 2009

QOTD1: burnt
QOTD2: tooth

Invite them back for a beer tasting show.
January 31, 2009

Chris Lotz
totally radool episode. i totally hate cottonmouth too, but from dry red wine, i dont mind so much.
qotd1 it would probably smell like a 50 year old white zin, and i like the bangs
qotd2 tooth, but id rather have one huge eye
January 31, 2009

Vinacull
Entertaining fer sure. QOTD1: When we were kids we used to buy kits where you would cut designs out of plastic sheets, paint them with a special paint, and then bake them in the oven. This was before the days when anyone was concerned about brain damage from toxic poisonous gases, and probably accounts for why I am a Vayniac. Anyway, take one of those baked plastic pieces, squirt some airplane glue on it, light it on fire, blow out the flame, and then taste. Yummy. QOTD2: A tooth, but only if I can have a gold cap on it.
January 31, 2009

Ryan Tabora
Awesome episode! Sometimes I feel just like the CH kids on the show…I can’t make out what flavors are in the wine! I guess its comforting to see other people struggle so hard haha. Seriously though great episode Loved it
January 31, 2009

Vinacull
Although it seems to work a reference to describing the crappy economy, “Bobo” is not a new coined word. Its most famous use comes from the “Bobo The Doll” experiments conducted by psychologist Bandura in the early to mid 1960’s.
Also thank you to Vintage59 for the clarification regarding the ‘61 Cheval Blanc (not ‘47) in the movie Sideways, and the fact that the wine is largely Cab Franc. That was my favorite scene of the movie, when he’s eating the burger and drinking the ‘61 CB out of the cup.

The two guests were incredibly annoying. They had nothing to say. They mean nothing and most likely never will. You took a big gamble inviting these dopes on your show Gary. Looking through the comments it didn’t pay off. College Humour is the Internet’s toilet roll. Some people like to wipe their asses with it while others jerk off to it, but it almost always gets flushed away…

Dad-to-be,

Here are a few random thoughts after watching this episode:

1. Are these two known as ‘College Humor’ in the same way tall guys are nicknamed ‘Shorty’ or fat guys are nicknamed ‘Tiny’?

b. These two are about as funny as a compound fracture.

3. If new AG Eric Holder has defined waterboarding as torture, how would he classify Episode 615?

d. Please, please, PLEASE don’t let these two procreate – least of all with each other!

5. If these two are examples of this country’s future, WE ARE DOOMED!!!

Regards,

Andy Rooney

bobo = bohemian bourgeois; see author David Brooks, probably a good read to understand the audience of winelibrary tv

QOTD 1: Tannins, totally tannins!

QOTD 2: One big tooth, but my wife’s profession would suffer… so I’ll go with a single digit

Enjoyed the CH years, but glad to be a DINK.

“Andy Rooney’s” comment above is fantastic and I concur with every word.

Looking through the comments it looks like people really liked this episode. I have to be honest though, I thought it sucked. Worst guests ever on the show. Guess you had to be there!?

Fun show, im gonna look at the Portuguese section my next trip to the wine store.

I enjoyed the episode. I’ll definitely have to try the Portuguese wine!

Actually, Andy Rooney’s comment was mean. The real Andy Rooney would never be that mean. You guys are mean.

P.S. I like Boone’s Farm.

Best episode in a while. These commenters just need to get their heads out of their asses. You can be a wine aficionado and not an arrogant, boring bastard at the same time.

This is the first episode I’ve seen and I only came across the site thanks to Streeter’s blog (which I creepily check too often). But I can say that I’m glad I did find it. After watching, I went out in hopes of getting a bottle of the Portuguese, but my local liquor store only carries three Portuguese wines – none of which are the Palestra Douro. I got the only red Portuguese they had – Loios 2007 Vinho Regional Alentejiano. $11 and not bad. (I also picked up a Spanish Cab Sav that I’m pretty excited about.)

The owner of the store was saying that different states have different imports so they don’t get too many from Portugal. I guess NY got the shaft. I miss Jersey.

EPISODE #45: you scored the San Felipe Cab 89 points, and it cost 6.99
I just watched that episode and was shocked to see such a similarity in score and price. You should revisit the San Felipe to see how it is these days.
Thanks GV!

I’ve been so super busy “crushing it” that I haven’t watched much WLTV in the last few weeks. I tuned into this episode to check out the CH peeps intending only to watch a few minutes and it was so crazy I ended up watching the whole thing!! Great episode! And you know I had to go out and get a couple of bottles of the 2006 Palestra Douro for my Superbowl party! Thanks for the tip. I’ll @garyvee you my thoughts after the game!!

A big finger on one hand would be a great punching tool. Although you would inevitably stub it on something, get fucking painful hangnails, and clippers would suck balls with it. One giant tooth, just one, great for dominating cheerios.

Watching this episode after watching the episode with a James Beard Awarded Chef I feel that my IQ has lowered quite a bit…no offense, guys. I was your age once and I remember what it was like but, I just can’t identify at this point in life…

That being said:

QOTD2: I would take the one big tooth. You definitely wouldn’t have to worry about all the others…just replace the one when you need to. AWESOME!!!

This was painful to watch… an appalling episode. It had nothing to do with wine…
Normally I’m a big fan of the guest-episodes, but this was meaningless.

I thought this episode totally sucked! Those were 2 of the most annoying guests and I give you credit for getting through it.
It was almost impossible to get through it and when it was over, I was pissed that I had wasted 31 minutes of my life.
Gary, love what you do but leave the kiddies home!

I’ve never seen this show before and just watched because of Streeter and Sarah, but I thought it was great. I don’t know a thing about wine either, so it was entertaining for me. I’m excited to keep watching… who know learning about wine could be so much fun!
February 1, 2009

College Humor? More like Pathetic Donkeys. This is the first episode of WLTV I haven’t been able to watch all the way through. Please Gary, give wanker guests like this a major pazzzzzz in the future.
February 1, 2009

Dan-o
GV – decent how. I actually thouht that your guests were witty. I did not learn much about wine, which is OK.

QOTD(s) – I like her bangs, I would prefer having one big fnger to one big tooth, the wine concoction that Sara spelled out would be horrible (pronounced like the Simon on American Idol).

QOTD 1: I think it would smell like electricity.

Meh, waste of a good half hour….
February 1, 2009

General question here… why do you need to do the sniff and the swish? I understand you can gather more of the flavor and smells, but you don’t do that when you’re just drinking it with your meal or at a party. Why not judge a wine by drinking it like you would in a real life situation?
February 1, 2009

tigerkite
QOTD 1: It would smell like awful.
QOTD 2: The tooth, come on.

1. It would smell like left-out next-day Arbys
2. Tooth. I need to save my fingers for when you propose to me at a ball game, Streeter! Sadly…only CH fans will get that one, but trust me it’s good.
February 1, 2009

David Dadekian
QOTD 1: No answer.

QOTD 2: One big tooth.

Kind of hit or miss. There’s a reason for editing sometimes. I think Gary was by far the funniest of the three. But big congratulations on an MTV show. I’d watch that.

Dessert Wine Nerd
This is what makes wine great. Those two rapscallions, acxting all zany and the like. Love it. Theres no snobbery here (of course there never has been), and its just good PG-13 fun. I was seriously laughing harder than any previous episode…. nice job on the eye poke, I knew you had some Rowdy Roddy Piper in you. Humor aside, Im glad they actually opened up to different wines. Baby steps, just like me. QOTD1: Id rather not think about that, I want to have children later in life QOTD: Id rather have a robot head like Master Mold, except I spit Sour Patch Kids from my mouth. I think Id go with the one finger though. That would make for some wicked head slapping.
February 1, 2009

QOTD #1: It would smell like sugar and spice and everything nice.
QOTD #2: Tooth. It would be hard to hold a wine glass with one finger.

Hey Gary, you know I have never had a full glass of wine in my life and will be turning 21 in the next couple of weeks and was just thinking about wine. I found your site through collegehumor.com and have to say that this opened my eyes to some good wines and I thank you for broadening your horizons with your guests, you sure sold me.

I hope to taste that Portugese wine, it seems like a great deal. As for the guests, I found them to be the least insightful of any you have had on this show recently. I hope they do not return.
February 2, 2009

Jeff
Ray (and others), I’m afraid that if you were looking for “insight,” the point may have been lost on you. This video was obviously a primer, not really targeted at this site’s usual viewership. As a regular College Humor viewer who knows very little about wine, I came to this site for the express purpose of watching Streeter and Sarah. Now Gary had two options here. He could have been non-threatening and jocular towards these two oenovirgins, thereby demonstrating to new viewers (like me) that wine connosseurship is a welcoming hobby that a novice shouldn’t be afraid to take up. Or he could have alienated all the potential new blood visiting this site by condescendingly labeling Sarah and Streeter as worthless because they were adventurous enough to try something they’ve never tried before.

Gary chose the former, but many of the negative commenters here chose the latter, thus reinforcing the stereotype that oenophiles are snobbish stiff necks. It was at least nice to see, in the comments, that there are at least a few commenters who defy that stereotype.

College Humor is great! Nice ep.
Those guys do a really amazing job producing viral humor.
February 2, 2009

RobM
Gary, maybe I’m missing something, but I believe you may have out-kicked your coverage on the Cheval Blanc in “Sideways” being a wine insider’s joke. Cheval is a Cabernet Franc based wine, if it was supposed to be a joke why wouldn’t they reference something like the nearly all Merlot Petrus?
February 2, 2009

sorry… but these guys are really in college??? you mean that they are in a US university and do not know that Portugal is a country??? Somewhere the US education system screwed up there….

Oddly enough, I just stumbled on to their BleepBloop show two weeks ago (although I was a huge fan of their Prank Wars a couple of years ago). You guys looked like you had a lot of fun.

- Can’t wait to try the Palestra
- She should cut her bangs 1/2″
- One giant tooth (it would be a lot harder to type on this keyboard and play games if I only had one finger/nail on one of my hands).
February 2, 2009

MattUD
College humor, a great website. The prank wars were classic, sorry Streeter.

QOTD 1: Not sure..that sounds terrible though
QOTD 2: I think I would go with one tooth, similar functionality having one and many, as opposed to going from five fingers to one

Absolutely typical scenario of introducing wine to that age group. Been there, done that, will be there and do that again because it is just plain fun. Mildly exhausting, but fun. Keeps all of us old farts young.
With that in mind, having been asked similar questions by my offspring and their friends, my answers for the Q’sOTD: #1- yes and #2- maybe ;D

GV – thanks for mixing it up w/ the jokers. We can see how fun it was- for you…

Been over twenty-five years since my sophomorically humorous colege days, and somehow, it seems to have never left me. The Boboes remind me of the booger eating morons what used to be in my band, pot smoking, Cab driving ne’er do well’s that they were. Never mind that they’d read Cormack Mccarthy, John Kennedy Toole, Jim Thompson, etc. Let’s see if I still got what it takes:

“Heather, bobo, take your bangs, and go back to your Fluffer job.”

“Boboe: wings are for fools. You would, no doubt, be LOST in Portugal, as there is no McDonalds there, or Taco Bell, for that matter. Thank God.”

“Shut OFF, and go back to your Senses Fail records.”

“Stay in Jersey”. (ouch)

In a movie, other than DIRT, Gee Vee could be played by fellow Jerseyite Pee Wee Herman, or the inimatable and illustrious Mr. Bean.

With ‘humor’, and all in loving jest,

Me.

GV: Great show. I dont remember the last time I laughed so hard.

QOTD 1: It would probably smell like s**t!
QOTD 2: Funny stuff… probably the tooth b/c I like me some carrots!

Thats kind of like asking if you would rather chop off your d**k or your foot; of course you can always hobble over to some p**sy but you cant show up with two good legs and no d**k.

I am in the minority here (possibly), but I was NOT a fan of this episode. I believe there are better alternatives to ‘young’, ‘newbie’, drinkers that you displayed here…

AKA – The episode SUCKED.

Having said that, I did chuckle when he mentioned the one big finger/one big tooth thing. THAT was classic….

I absolutely HATE people that THINK they are funny.
February 2, 2009

Jay
QOTD #2 was great. Has to be the tooth.
February 2, 2009

Couves
Another great value from Portugal is the Quinta Do Cabriz 2006 (WL). I’m drinking the 2005 right now – it leans more towards the dark fruit/shiraz profile. It’s not super complex or full bodied, but it’s also not a fakey-fake wine trying to be an Australian Shiraz. It’s just a satisfying old-world leaning wine at a great price with grapes you will only find in Portugal (Touriga Nacional) and the Dao region of Portugal (Alfrocheiro).

“Portugal does something good about every 400 years.” Man, this guy is GOOD – go back another 40-50 years and you’re at the height of the Portuguese Empire of spice trade and exploration.

One big tooth, Then there would be no need to floss, And it would smell like tanins.

Brian Barrick
This episode was a lot of fun… reminded me of my college years.

I have to agree that there are some really good Portuguese wines appearing these days. They are still hard to find, so I’m glad you are getting the word out.

QOTD1: I think Gary reviewed that wine a few episodes back.
QOTD2: Definitely one big tooth.
February 3, 2009

pawncop
Great episode and y’all certainly had a great time and enjoyed each others company and that is as it should be.

Good wine and good company, it does not get any better than this.

One of my favorite Portuguese wines is Barco Negro rated #9 by Wine Enthusiast as #9 of their top 100 best buy wines in 2008.

I must admit I did not get the Q’sOTD day down as well as I should have.

I think I would like a bid finger as opposed to a large tooth.
February 3, 2009

David T
Wow, college at a pharmacy school is so much more serious than that. I almost with I could try that college experience!
QOTD1: Wouldn’t try it…
QOTD2: A big tooth, then get it pulled & get (gasp) dentures.

Gary,
I only watched this show because I’m a huge fan of CH. I have not watched any of your other shows, nor do I plan to, but I would like for you to know my first impressions. You obviously know a lot about wine, but you come across as a little hyper with a hint of pushiness and a bit of attention whore on the back end. Shushing them at the end was really the capstone of the episode. I would rate this show about an 86 to 87 on the pecker scale.
February 3, 2009

pepel
Chris Runoff – Totally picked up on the bobo. Yes bobo literally means stupid in tagalog. I think Gary should use Bobo more often.

Awesome episode. I would have to go with QOTD 2 – one big tooth, so many things could be impacted by having one finger, and I mean could you imagine the hangnails on that?, and also with a big tooth, you could still use a normal toothbrush, it will just take forever to brush your tooth. With a big finger though, where u gona buy a big fingernail clipper?

As you said it Gary, “this is the best episode”! What fun – I was rolling with laughter. Great fun

Scruff
(this post was toned down after reading the previous ones..)

This is my first time watching this show, and I loved it. I’m just not sure if it was because Sarah and Streeter joined in on the fun or if it’s always this entertaining. Is it usually more “serious”?

Guess there’s only one way to find out…
February 3, 2009

Chris Braun
Well, I was interested in what you thought of the wines. And I was interested to hear what new wine drinkers thought of the wines. But I found these two people (especially the woman) rather dopey and annoying — trying too hard to be funny.

I’d enjoy another episode with novice wine drinkers, but not ones like those.
February 4, 2009

Chrisfs
Funny show!,

Glad you got some people from the CKC on the show and actually looked at some quality low cost wines.
It’s too bad some people could appreciate it for what it was . a funny show about wine. These guys run a website called College Humor,what did they expect ? An erudite discussion on terroir and viniculture?
There’s a place for that, but this episode is a learn something while laughing episode
February 4, 2009

Adrian Nadeau
Great show everyone! Had a blast watching it… laughed a lot so that is always good.

Answer: I think I would prefer to have one big tooth… might be kinda cool actually lol

Decent show, not the best. You did a good job of getting novices to try and say what they actually got from the wines, which says a lot.

QotD#1: I supposed it would smell like melted tires and plastic…..
QotD#2: I’d rather have one big finger… because if that one tooth fell out you’d pretty much be screwed!

Awesome episode GV and the gang form some show I don’t know, lack on TV in the house may be the reason. Although lack of TV means more wine is drunk.

The two themes in the comments above seemed to be either “I hate this episode because it was low-brow and idiotic” or “I loved it because it was irreverent and funny.”

The thing is, Gary is always irreverent and funny. If you’re bored of the same old thing after 600 episodes, fine, but trust me, the key to regaining your attention span is not going to be episodes with snarky wine-noobs as co-hosts.

Sarah and “Streeter,” you’re guests on a wine show. If you don’t have anything to say about wine, just shut up. Please. (And Streeter, get a real name.)

Gary, how much do you love this friend of yours to let him push these two snide little pricks on you? There’s nothing worse than these disaffected AV Club / Jon Stewart / Gawker post-college know-it-alls. Stop trying to be funny, guys. Believe it or not, you don’t always have to be “on.”
February 6, 2009

Definitely one of the funniest shows and a great one to watch if people are just getting into wine (and Wine Library).

QOTD 1 – Riesling?
QOTD 2 – Without a doubt the finger.. the tooth would be horrible!
February 6, 2009

Jayhitek
QOTD1: It would probably would smell like what I imagine India smells like.
QOTD2: Bangs? They look…. nice?.. good?.. fluffy?
QOTD3: Easy. One tooth. As long as it’s curved, you could draw lines on it to resemble multiple teeth. With one finger and a huge fingernail.. that would look totally gross. You couldn’t hold anything, couldn’t pick your nose.. Terrible idea.

In regards the negative comments: This was a show about “college wines.” The great thing about wine is that there are so many variations and qualities that it can appeal to a very wide group of people. The particular episode is recognizing the fact that it can also appeal to college kids. So they brought on the “college kid” experts. Bringing on wine experts or mature individuals would have ruined the message of the show! And it was very entertaining and well done.
And good grief! They knew Portugal was a country! It was a joke! If you took a moment to go to their website (like I did) you will find many of the articles from Streeter and Sarah are insightful and very in touch with today’s world. (OK, definitely not all of their work, but these two are very smart, very successful, young individuals who have accomplished quite a bit so far)

Such a cool episode. I have so many friend who when I ask them to tell me what they smell and taste first answer ‘wine, it smells like wine…’ and then later really get into it and discover that they can actually identify tastes and smells. Way to go to show this on your show…

qotd:it would smell bobo… with a hint of lightness, obviously
and:it would have to be one freakishly big tooth
February 7, 2009

YoungDave
Great episode!!!
QOTD 1A): It would taste like Selaks Ice WIne
QOTD 1B): Yes, definitely like Sarah’s bangs
QOTD 2): If I had to have one or the other, this one is EASY! I totally need all of my fingers- it’s frustrating enough when I cut a finger ad try to work, wash my hair, brush my teeth, wash dishes, etc. Having only one giant upper tooth? That would be great! No flossing, no shifting of teeth, and I could’ve avoided 3 years of braces when I was younger!!

GREAT questions and an extremely fun EP.

I have been super busy lately, but finally got to sit down and watch this episode. As a CKC, I was looking forward to this episode and it didn’t disappoint! I was laughing so hard; they all got along quite well and kept cracking some good jokes. Of course, CH doesn’t hit all demos, so I can understand why many people might not have enjoyed it. But I did, so thanks guys! (See, not all wine nerds are stuck up!)

QOTD1: Probably like the inside of the industrial furnace used to burn all of that junk up, off the Jersey Turnpike just south of NYC.
QOTD2: Big tooth. Opposable thumbs are awesome! Plus, hasn’t anyone ever heard of dentures?

Btw, Pétrus was originally in the “Sideways” novel as the wine Miles drinks at the end, but had to be taken out as Christian Moueix didn’t want it in the movie. That’s why they decided for Cheval Blanc, although they obviously didn’t do their homework.

Ok, it took me a while to get around to watching this one! Funny show – nice change of pace. No need to hate on the CH folks if that isn’t your style. Just as with wine: go with what you like and respect the fact that other people like other things.

Back in the day, the rule for the jinx game was that the jinxed person couldn’t speak until someone said his or her name. Since Sarah almost immediately called Streeter by name, the jinx was lifted and there was no need for Streeter to stay silent.

Bangs = sexy

Thank you SO much for using the term Bo-Bo!!! I use it ALL the time and I get the same reactions that you got from Streeter and Sarah. I’m hooked on this site because I want to learn so much more about wines….but Bo-Bo?? So money!!

AbstruseJuice
HAHA I loved the intro to this episode, Streeter is from Connecticut like myself, nice to see some CT love on the Thunder Show, however Gary on his own has made me a massive fan of the Dirty Jers, so no hate there, just glad to see a Connecticut peep on the show, even though I’m living in Montana now…

Too bad Gary said Connecticut was the “…like the worst place ever..” for real Geevee? Show us some love, we invented the hamburger.

Overall I think the episode was very entertaining, even though I kind of wanted to see the college humor folks be a slight bit more serious about what they smelled or tasted in the wines that they were introduced to in this episode.

blah blah blah typical holier-than-thou-bull”

Wow. I’m not exactly sure if you understand this show at all. What’s the catchphrase again? Changing the wine world? Because your attitude reminds me of every wine snob I’ve ever met. If it doesn’t suit you, then it just isn’t good at all, is it? If you don’t think it’s funny, they just need to “shut up”. That’s not a reasonable thing to say, and the only reason you would is because your horse is so high that you’re starting to lose oxygen to your brain.

Also please rewatch more episodes of the show and take note of how often Gary goes off and talks about things not related to wine. He’s notorious for going off on a tangent about random things that get brought up, often having to catch himself. Notice that he was the one who kept going on about the punching thing. But seeing as he’s a wine drinker, and these “snarky college kids” aren’t, it’s easy to see why you’re so bias.

Gary knew what he was getting bringing on CollegeHumor guys. He didn’t bring them in to get their expert opinions on wine. He didn’t bring them in because of his love affair with their boss. He brought them in to expand his user base. Much like how he wants to expand people’s palates in wine drinking, he also wants to expand the show’s palate so to speak by bringing in different people. How is it changing the wine world if he’s just preaching to the choir? And obviously Gary agrees with me because he even brought in Jake and Amir, who had even LESS to say about wine.

I honestly have to stop reading comments on this site, because I feel like a lot of you go against everything that Gary says this place is about. It’s like this site was trying to be about changing the wine world, but a bunch of wine elitists found out about it through the grapevine and ruined it. I know not all of you are like that, but it is a major turn off for the crowd that Gary is trying to bring in. When J&A came on he got a huge amount of people coming in to the site, but a lot of them saw the nasty comments and felt like they weren’t wanted. So I have to congratulate you Smiddy, for attempting to undo what the owner of this blog is trying to accomplish for the wine world. It’s rare to see such dedication towards an antithetical view from one who claims to be a fan of something.

First time watching the show- hilarious! And I learned something about wine, always a plus. Gary definitely knew what he was doing bringing Sarah and Streeter on: as a college student myself, I was drawn in and will without a doubt stick around for more episodes.

Q1: bangs=awesome!
Q2: one big tooth, but pray you don’t get a cavity!

One thing that struck me from reading the comments, though, is that I think the irony of the show was lost on some viewers. Streeter and Sarah know just as well as Gary where Portugal is, and were appealing to their CH demographic by being silly about it.

6 months ago, I decided to try out some serious coffee and grind it right there. I tried this mainly because of a friend who made fun of my chock full of nuts habit, saying that’s what his grandparents drink. And I got a french press and grind ed some Hawaiian Blue and I was blown away, It was the first time i really tasted the coffee, yeah I’ve been to Starbucks and got a coffee or a frapaccino (WHICH ARE AWSOME)but i never really thought about what I was drinking.
Now, I am a full fledged junkie, I have multiple grinders and a slew of french presses, vac pots, aeropress’es, drip percolators, high end espresso machine, a super-automatic espresso machine, Turkish coffee pot.
I get all my beans fresh roasted and expedited shipping then I immediately vacum pack them to keep them as fresh as possible. A total coffee nerd. And, I love it.
