Although I’m sure the majority of avid wine library watchers could not stand this episode, I was absolutely 100% impressed. I love how you combine two things I thoroughly enjoy: Jake and Amir and inexpensive good tasting wine. I’m in college so obviously I don’t have much money at all to spend on any type of alcohol, but in the near future I will definitely buy a bottle of Riesling. Very helpful and may continue to watch your show because of this.

Gary brought the thunder as always

Amir is lame and not funny

Jake was really cool but looses ton of points because of his friend Amir

I think this was a MAJOR flop for the CKC’s

I do love this show however because it is totally random and I really enjoy those type of shows. Sometimes I get bored with the regular WLTV setting.

Gary was cool, by the way. I liked the show despite my comment below and my dislike for wine in general.

Wine tastes awful.

There’s no reason for anyone to say that it tastes good when an actually sweet-sour drink like orange juice completely blows it away. Wine just tastes like rotten, dry fruit. There may be some taste left behind, but comparing drinking wine to drinking something that tastes good is like comparing picking scraps of food out of a garbage can to eating from a full, gourmet buffet of all your favorite foods.

Wine does not quench thirst and doesn’t give any real satisfaction beyond the paradoxical feeling that you are awesome because you drink wine, and the initial tipsiness leading into drunkenness.

Jake is right. Some wines smell like dog. You guys are all just too pompous to admit it. In the back of your minds, though, you know I’m right and it makes you furious.

Gary you’re the man for reaching out to the younger crowd! I’m in college and I’ve really enjoyed expanding my palate to wine. I consider myself an experienced beer ‘taster’ and collect beers from around the world..even got to try the infamous Trappist Westvleteren 12!

Don’t bash them? WHY??? If I didn’t enjoy the episode, why can’t I bash it? If you liked it – great! Enjoy! I thought it sucked.

QOTD: Since you asked, I bought a 1982 Chateau Leoville-Poyferre for $148. No, I would not buy it from ANYONE for twice the price.

Honestly, I can’t really talk much about the show since I’ve only seen a few episodes, but give the guy a break. This is video number six hundred and something, I think Gary deserves to do something a little different.
I thought it was good, although I’ll agree that it seemed a little weird for them in the situation. It probably would have been better if they would have just been themselves I guess. Whatever though, all good fun.

Jake and Amir were great. Hilarious as always. For those of you insulting them it’s probably because you don’t have a sense of humor. GREAT JOB GUYS!!

Ahh to hell with all the complainers on here – you can’t vet every guest that you bring on – as you’ve said, you’re not freaking Oprah. Besides, these two weren’t all that bad. Good job Gary.

Nice change of pace show. QOTD: 125 bones for a mag of Caymus

I’m used to seeing these comments on a youtube video. Can we keep them there please. Learn how to communicate without throwing out childish insults.

Yes you have been noticed for all of the wrong reasons.

I do agree that it wasn’t one of the greatest episodes of WLTV ever produced, that is what you get when you are all out of your comfort zone.

If you are going to make a splash out there, be noticed for all the right reasons, not because you think you are being extremely funny in your comments, throwing out childish insults lets leave that for conversations down the pub with your mates, not on the internet for every one to see.

This show had it’s moments, but a little uninspiring.
QOTD – A 1988 Chateau Cheval Blanc for $250. I would pay you $2.50 for it because I would not be sure whether it was real.

These negative commenters are losers. I thought the show was a nice change of pace and I laughed out loud a couple of times. It was a fun show. I’d love to see you bringing people on who want to learn about wine and walking them through how exactly develop their love for wine for a multiple part series, in fact. I think it would be fun to watch people learn and would certainly help a lot of people

Gary,

Based on this episode, I’m guessing that you’re sick and tired of doing the show.

These two are about as funny as a compound fracture.

Jake – by far the more likable of the two – will be driving a UPS truck by age 30.

Amir – the dolt who thought he won half a mil – will be bald by age 35 and will take his own life by age 40.

Oh please, oh please, oh please!

Regards,

Chevy Chase

To quote the episode “All and all, a very disappointing episode”… yep, nuf said – these guests, like fish after 3 days, stink.

OK. SO… Jake and Amir… awesome, hilarious. On the ball here, and always. I love them. Gary, too intense. I don’t watch your little wine show normally. Seriously, though?… A wine show for college kids and you pick $12 bottles? I just bought a 1.5L for $10 and I’ve been out of college for 5 years now… so maybe next time you have guest stars… think about the demographic.

Sorry Gary not a fan of this one. I like Jake and Amir doing the CH stuff, I really like the WL episodes with guests, and especially the guests from outside the wine trade, but it helps a lot if they have some level of interest in wine, which clearly neither one of them did. Throwing out wine questions to them that seem like they’re asked solely to trip them up. The last CH episode was good, but these two, I just got the feeling they were there because they had to be for some reason.

QOTD: 2003 Cheval Blanc, and no I wouldn’t pay double (or even half) to Amir for it.

Forget paying for wine. 100% apple juice. yeast. and a week or two is all i need.

Question for Gary: Is it hard to do a show with these stuck up assholes sucking your dick all the time? Obviously you used Jake & Amir for a reason, and they did what they normally do on their show. As someone who would never look at this site, I actually enjoyed learning about wine tonight.
