Man, Gary…I can’t believe you’d hate on the Ampelos wine so hard…67 points really??
I guess you like their Pinots more.

okay so I haven’t written in awhile and have been watching the show religiously
it’s preparation for something that I don’t fully understand yet.

Personally I love the variety and spontaneous combustion of GV though I am not sure I felt the 100% crush that I usually feel.

Every day a new day and I am happy to end my day with WLTV. Mucho grats for your hard work and honesty.

QOTD: rootbeer popsicles period end of story

Wow, if you ever wanted to form your own angry mob…

As a kid I always ate freeze pops, red and orange
(why do they even make green?)

QOTD: I like the blue raspberry flavor.

on the Novy – it wasn’t great, but I think comparing it to $10 Aussie shiraz is a little unfair, because it wasn’t out of control hot alcohol like many of those are, it was more balanced.

QOTD – Blue Otter Pops, aka “Louie Blue Raspberry”

Au Bon Climate makes some much better Pinots than their standard Santa Barbara… more $$, of course, but exponentially better.

I actually liked the crowd and interaction. If I ever had the luck of GV coming to Ohio, I’d definitely want to interact with him during a tasting. These last two episodes just brought something new to the table. I’m not saying that I’d want every WLTV done in front of a live, shwasted audience, but for two episodes, I think its hilarious.

QOTD: I think my favorite flavor was orange, but I loved purple and blue coloring my mouth.

Otter Pops? Search me. I do like the coconut Popsicles, though.

Again, a little noisy, but it did sound like lots of folks were having a good time.

QOTD – Never had an Otter Pop so will stay with Ice Pops, Grape.

Gotta give it to you. That had to be as painful to get through as it was to watch but we give you a high five for the effort. What a bunch of dolts.

QOTD: Qtter Pops? Dunno but my favorite Fla-Vor-Ice was grape (purple).

Cheers!

Gary needs some crowd enforcers and a megaphone

QOTD: lime….

QOTD: no idea. Don’t know what Otter Pops are.

Watching this (and the white wine) episode was like listening to nail scratched on a black board.

Don’t get me wrong. The content was fine.

However, it so poorly lit that the video quality was in the toilet.

The crowd was obnoxious (and probably already drunk). No spitting beforehand there.

There were more “Shhhhhhh’s” than a steam laundry. I feel for you Gary. I think you must have been frustrated with the crowd’s lack of attention.

I know you really like the spontaneity and honesty of unedited episodes but you may want to reconsider.

As always, you were not afraid to call a spade a spade in your opinions of the wines.

Homey!!!! You’re the hardest working man in the wine biz!!!!!

You need to get mic’d up on your next public taping.

Safe trip back !

Otter Pops!? WTF?

There is only so much of the live crowd I can take.

Can’t wait to have you back in the saddle.

Glad you guys are havin’ fun though!

Sweet!

Thanks Gary

That was one of the most difficult episodes of WLTV to watch – it must have been a tough gig being in a room full of drunken punters

QOTD: didn’t have that brand in Australia, but I always liked red

Cheers

Next time you do a show in front of a large number of people, talk extra QUIET! We’ll be able to hear you with your mic, and maybe it will force them to shut the h#*l up!

GV, too funny seeing you on the NFL Draft promos on ESPN…there’s this split second scene where your head is filling up my entire TV…freaking hilarious.

Will watch shortly. Hope they are a little quieter for red wine…
