    Gary-
    CLASSIC
    This is one for the
    record books!
    I must tell you that was
    TTTOOOOOOOOOOO
    funny!
    I really did literally
    FALL
    out of my chair.
    Starting when you were on the couch,
    I kept hitting the pause button-
    That’s how hard I was laughing-
    I was trying to stop laughing.
    Laughed the
    WHOLE
    time you were on the couch.
    If you ever get tired of wine- you can
    do stand up!
    The white pepper was the breaking point!
    I never regained my composure
    until about 15 minutes after I turned off the episode!
    WOW!
    :):):)

    You’re a nut — but in a good way.

    I don’t see myself partaking in a similar tasting (though I can appreciate that you did).

    An obscure relation, but it reminds me how some newer high-end Italian restaurants are serving foods (like rabbit brains) that were once only eaten by peasants in Italy. That has somehow become retro-exotic-cool now — in America that is. . .

  • Susan

    LARS!
    Fabulous intro!
    Very creative!
    Five thumbs up!
    🙂

    GeeVee…

    I now feel the love!!!! I thought I would LOVE to have a job tasting wine all day but you taught us all: “no pain….no gain!!!!”. I bow to your passion and commitment(while slurping on a 2005 Cusumano Nero D’Avola).

    Your’s in vino,

    HAHA! That was the funniest episode ever, I’m still laughing from the finale! I thought you were building up to the wet rock, but it just got better and better after that. Dirt and Cristal?! Come on!

    You know what? On second though, I think that might be the funniest thing I’ve seen in the last six months!

    Ohhh, the things you do for WLTV. Much appreciated, you made my day! I just hope you didn’t numb your palate for the next month!

    Gary, Gary, Gary……

    What happened to Lizard Skin! (not to mention dirty diaper)

    Hope you’re not allergic to any of that stuff. Cloves perhaps?

    QOD: I was thinking of doing a big wine tasting with a lot of friends that would start off with an event like you just did. It should help people recognize flavors in the wines they are about to taste. Now I know better. My carpet would be ruined beyond the skills of Stanley Steamer with all the spitting and gagging going on.

    You’re my Wine Hero!

    GV, I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so much in my whole life. This was one of those side splitting occasions. True dedication, thanks for the entertainment. I have often suggested this method to peole and now I’m over joyed that I can poin those people in the future to episode 148!

  • Damn kid! Least we can all do is post to throw you a bone for eating dirt…literal humor is always a hit in NYC. Anytime you feel like the CNBC and Atlanta Bread shows are getting to your head…eating dirt will always bring you back to reality. Bravo!

    OMG Gary – talk about memories – believe it or not, that’s how I learned about wine too – the grown ups drank the wine, and I sat at the end of the table and smelled and ate some of the flavors in the profile – no dirt or sweaty socks or though – I laughed from the moment you turned up the speed from 33RPM to 78 RPM to the end – that episode absolutely slayed me – if my Dad were still alive, he would be LHAO too – can’t thank you enough for that one . . .

  • Ken

    Grapefruit, honey, quince, glycerin, asphalt, burnt matchstick, vanilla extract and bean, maybe, um, grapes, firecraker fuse, tonka truck, copper pennies, liquid paper, camel toe, antique buttons, bone, creme du cafe, pinball flipper, purple paint(!), leather, of course, and, well, I guess I’d better get started. Long night ahead.
    Brilliant episode.
    Go 9’ers.

    You’re a MADMAN, an absolute MADMAN! Freakin’ brilliant!
    I’m with E-Rock. Jackass meets WLTV, exactly.
    And in all of that craziness, useful information.
    Mangini should show that on Sunday to get your boys pumped up. Dedication, fellas. That’s what it looks like!

    Bravo!
