Truth is much scarcer than reality

ok- maybe your reality but not mine. My reality and Truth are both just great!!1

Great episode. You had me going on that one.

QOD: If you dropped the bottle of Le Pin on the way back to the cellar would you take a taste from the puddle on the floor?

Thanks for the free shipping.

Hey Gary, how many code 2017 orders did you get? That’d be a pretty good gauge of the popularity of WLTV.

Nice fake out. So far, I think the most expensive bottle you’ve tasted on WLTV was about $320. That’s way out of my league. I can’t imagine drinking a bottle that’s nearly ten times more expensive than the $320 bottle. What, that’s like $650-700 a glass? Damn!

I haven’t had any great Aussie Shiraz. Best thing I’ve had was the Jim Barry Lodge Hill. Huge, huge fruit bomb. Good and extremely drinkable, but not complex. I think I just haven’t climbed high enough on the ladder to get to the good stuff yet.

Be nice if you did an episode on good, value-oriented Shiraz.

Tony..are those the pictures of your house on Flickr?

Hey Gary –
Are you still out there?
It would be nice if you finally tried some Biltmore Estate Wines.
They have been growing the grapes since the ’60’s so the winery has come of age.
Here is a link to their web page:
http://www.biltmore.com/

GV — First off, classic episode. I figured something was up when you undershot the price quote on the LePin by $1K. You’d probably have a better sense if you were really busting it out. And no decanter?

QOD – For some reason I haven’t eclipsed the $30 mark on Australian Shiraz, although I’m a huge fan. I guess I still see it as a value wine. But the best I’ve had so far is the ’02 Glen Eldon Dry Bore Barossa–huge flavors and silky smooth.

My QOD for the board — how much did/will you end up spending because of the free shipping offer? I thought I was taking a wine-buying break to let my bank account heal itself, but I just ordered three cases of wine, for the simple (and never-before used) reason that the Jets won. The shipping would’ve been $75. Now I have to make sure I’m the first one home when UPS arrives.

Rick

I agree with russ comment 60…no one got upset like after episode #69, I am proud of you all

made me smile…

GV – I still think you should eiather tape some episodes ahead of time to have them for days you cant do the show or have an employee fill in.

GV – when the free shipping is done I will be curious to know how many orders you got with the 2017 code?

QOD – none yet that I have had in my $10-$15 range that were great enough to remember I will try some of the ones you all recomend though

hey…does anyone know of a resterant or wine bar that carries expensive wines and lets you order by the glass…say if a bottle is $500 retail then they would sell a glass for $50-$75, I know I wont be buying $500 a bottle wine anytime soon but if I were out I would pay $50 for a glass of something I would never have a chance to try otherwise.

Rick, I spent $300 on 2 cases. Saved 60 bones (or another half case of value wines).

Matty Van,
I am in NJ but if you ever get to Tampa, Fl go to BURNS Steak House- They have one of the largest legit wines cellars on premise(meaning they didnt just stock up at auction) They sell an amazing amount by the glass. I will check with my friend who lives in the NYC and see what he knows

“Possibly the numbers might express a range of numbers that would be the daytime high in degrees Farenheit in Hell before GV offers Free Shipping again? ” Comment 65: By Big Billy from Big D

more like the sum of all numbers= is how many years it will take for the jets to win one super bowl?

QOD from Rick – $185 on 23 bottles

Brandon M – could you put the info to order the T-shirts on the vaynervote web site?

I google there for I am

Dude! Le Pin!!!!

Don’t screw with us like that…..

Matty Van,

Given that you get about 4 glasses out of a bottle, selling a $500 bottle of wine for $50-75 per glass is probably not a recipe for business success.

Brandon M,

Yeah, that’s our house, but don’t get too excited. It’s just that the drug trade has been very good to us. 😉 Trust me, I earn a lot less than you do, and the house isn’t quite what it seems.

I have an absolute great Australian Shiraz that I can’t live without and it is…………………………………………………………………………………

Sorry I am just too tired to finish this comment 😉 Must be all those trips to Wine Library!

Yeah…me too. The “drug trade” is pretty good for me too!!
Just kidding…but I had to say it. It was put out there.

Tony…it is not the dollar amount that defines life but the quality of the experience 🙂

My future mother-in-law is into “Lost” and I have to hear about it all the time!
I watch about 2 hours of TV a week (not including WLTV) and I have never watched Lost, CSI whatever, Prison Break, 24, or any of the other shows…its all food, travel, sports (including poker), and the occasional cartoon (Southpark).

Maybe we could get Southpark to spoof WLTV- Now that would be great

I went back and watched #69 and then read the comments. Comment 39 cracked me up!!! Are people expecting a Charlie Rose experience or a Jim Kramer experience?

“What a complete waste of a customerâ??s time! How incredibly disrespectful and immature!
I mean really Gary, do you think that your viewers have nothing else to do but seek out information and get this juvenile crap in return!!
This is the last time I watch.

Comment 39: By Greg G on August 13th, 2006 at 7:18 am”

To all the haters: Lighten up, Francis!

Ha…I wonder if Greg G is back watching again….Maybe under a different name now that he has been called out?

Yeah, South Park. Gary looks a little like that teacher with the hand puppet, mmmmkay?

Gary, that was not cool. Stop teasing us! I was all excited to watch and taste my wines. Today at work I got a free just opened (slightly poured for tasting) 2001 Chambolle Musigny From Lignier Virgile sarl as well as a 2001 Ch. Rossignol-Jeanniard Grand Vin Volnay. Sooooo Goood, is like silk, I never get to drink Burgandy like this! And its not even my birthday! I still wanna know if you have plans for Beaujolais Nouveau and if you’ve tried de la brune. Hope everyone is having a great Tuesday, come stop by your nearest Wegmans Wineshop if you get a chance.

and he is always dressing the bottles up like.
Mr. Garrison: Let’s start the day with a few new math problems — what is five times two? Yes. Clyde?
Clyde: Twelve.
Mr. Garrison: Okay. Now let’s try and get an answer from somebody who is not a complete retard.

No Mr. Garrison has the hand puppet and Mr. Mackey says, “mmmkay.”

I know it is a long link and broken up a bit but very very funny!

It’s been 50 episodes….is Brandon still married?

Wine math, I mean 40.

hmmm. favorite Shiraz? Lets see. Well, the 2002 Match Butterdragon Hill we are drinking now is a Cab. Got three of the last five on the shelf. Ok the best Aussie Shiraz I have had is ……….
