$61…Unbelievable.
You need to get out of the wine business and go into the cup business look at the margins.
cost free (someones forgoten garbage)
profit 61 bones

great episode as always. Favorite burger-blue cheese,tomato lettuce and grey poupon but of course.
Good luck to the Jets.
Sad day for the Steelers with Cowher resigning. Is your coach available?

WTG- best burger- well done, bacon, vidalia onions, blue cheese, on sesame bun.
Gary: More episodes for us wino’s that can’t afford the high end stuff.

Love the tasting out of the Simpsons glass. One drawback, can’t see the color of the wine…D’OH!

Love any wines that are under 10 bones. Will be in tomorrow to try the Ercavio.

Have a good trip to Massachusetts and can’t wait to see you shave.

Gary,
I agree with some of the other Vayniacs. Who cares what kind of glass you use. That may be the problem with some “oenophiles”: too pretentious. Don’t get me wrong, I love my Reidel glasses. But hacking on you because of the type of glass is silly.

Thanks for the rec for the under $10 wines. After buying the “slightly” pricier brunello, amarone and champagne, it’s nice to have a low cost choice that you recommend.

QOTD: Favorite Burger: Angus Beef, blue cheese, bacon, lettuce tomato, touch of mayo and ketchup, Poppyseed Kaiser roll. YUM

By the way, I make THE BEST chicken wings there are, and have an awesome blue cheese dip to go with them. If you ever get down to NC, you have a standing invite.

The tasting glass yesterday = worst ever

The tasting glass today = best ever

Go Jets! I’m a Red Sox fan and would be a Pats fans if Mr. Kraft hadn’t used CT and the city of Hartford to get his stadium. A Jets win will make for better listing on 660 WFAN over the next week, but I’m a little worried. I do hope Gary keeps his cloths on. He sounded as serious as when he proposed the playoff beard. Haha. I’ll be willing to start a “frosted plate glass” fund if he must do a show sans clothing. I don’t want WLTV to end because Gary wound up in jail.
QOTD: Not the pan fried sour cream and ketchup on toasted wheat bread burger i had tonight. P) The best burger I’ve eaten was at Long Trail Brewery in VT. I don’t even remember what was on it, but it was GOOD!

TOP 60? C’mon baby!

QOTD: Roast a head of garlic. Mix mashed garlic with 1/2 cup mayo and juice of 1/2 lemon. Lots of pepper. Give it an hour to flave up. Slather all over a medium rare Kobe burger done ON THE STINKIN’ GRILL! Pickles. Gotta have pickles. Pickles layered on the bottom AND TOP. Big onion bun, slightly toasted ON THE STINKIN’ GRILL. Listen to Grilljockey.

gary,
you whipped that simpson’s cup out and i almost died laughing!!! that is what i LOVE about this show!! get up on that winebox anytime and set those winesnobs straight. i personally would have chosen one of the star wars glasses from mcdonalds circa 1977 but that’s my stemware choice.:) as for the jets, they have no shot against the P-A-T-S!! have a good time at the game though.

I HATE GREEN! But, I will be rootin’ for the Wine Guy’s Jets on Sunday. Purple is a royal color. Go Vikes!

Love the cup today. However, I find that the Hans Solo collectible cup is shaped better to evaluate the nose of a wine.

QOTD: In-n-Out Burger’s Double Double (Animal Style) with fries. Wine Guy, if you’ve never had an In-n-Out Burger, you need to try one during your trip to Cali. Unfrickin’ believable.

Gary, you rock. I bet you could have taken down Mr. Sheik today. What’s the big deal about the glass anyway? It’s about the frigin wine! Heck, I don’t care if you taste wine through a BEER BONG. Kudos and you are changing the wine world.

QOTD-The Original Tommy Burger in LA. A legend from the 50’s and they still make em the same way.
A big fat juicy burger topped with chili, cheese, pickles, tomato and onion served on a thin toasty bun…………………Antacid is served on the side.

Amazing color on those wines, I mean PROFOUND. Watch the video again to see how incredibly the color came through. 🙂

Fav burger: There’s a place in Vegas called Burger Bar. It’s in the Mandalay shops between Mandalay Bay and Luxor. Anyone who loves burgers must go there. You can get anything on your burger, and they have a $50 Kobe beef burger if you are so inclined. When I go there, my fav is the angus beef with jalepeno bacon, cheddar cheese, and avocado.

Hey Gary, BTW what happened to the countdown on the grease board? Did I miss something exciting?

Joe Beningo!!!!
– If the JETS WIN how ’bout a tasting episode of Italia’s best with the Ever-Famous Joe Beningo?
(WFAN)

#69????

G-Man,
Another hilarious episode. Way to go. Now I need to get a burger for dinner. You suck.
I second the recommendation for Burger Joint…and double double animal style at In-n-Out…when are they coming to the east coast?!?!?!

QOD: Favorite burger is medium-rare, onion, lettuce, tomato and feta cheese.

Can you explain why exactly the folks at Riedel are “bastards” and why you still use their products?

Gary, The Simpsons cup at $130 becuase it has a GV autograph? Do you realize that puts in Mickey Mantle territory? Gary, you’re as loved as the Mick!
Joe

Gary, I am now gonna buy a case a day and have you sign the reciept and e-bay it. That way, your autograph will pay for all my wine.
Joe

Bid on eBay is up to $130 and still 9 days to go … nice idea giving the money to charity.

I do not care what glass you use but I have to tell everyone, if people have never tried a good glass it really is a trip. I don’t see much difference in the taste other than how the smell contributes to that but I just got some good Bordeaux glasses and the nose you get on a nice fragrant red compared to drinking out of say a standard white wine glass (which is what we used to use for everything) is amazing. I always stuggled to find those subtle smells but with the right glass it is a lot easier because the nose is so much more intense.

QOD: my local pub restaurant just put sliders on their menu, not the thin dull patties you get at say a White Castle but fresh plump juicy little burgers, and because they give you three small ones somehow it just kicks up the enjoyment factor … not sure why but I really like it

QOD: My favorite type of burger is a recipe “Burger She Wrote” and I like to eat them with my hands, with the juices dripping, NOT on a plate with utensils!

Naked? Gary, please…tell me you’re talking about Snoqualmie Riesling “Nearly Naked” or FOUR VINES SANTA BARBARA NAKED CHARDONNAY…not GV, naked,…drinking wine, right?

LOVED the episode, tho’ just for the record…I was NOT one of the complainers. I don’t mind the beard, don’t care about the funky glass, (But I do wonder how you get the inside of the stem clean 🙂 ) There have been many times in my life when I drank wine out of plastic, styrofoam and cups of other materials. Who gives a rip!?

Have fun this weekend dining, wining and hopefully winning, not Whining. Green is my new temporary favorite color!

Hey Gary- you know the DB burger is the best!

Nice comeback wrt the wine glass. That’s what I luv about WLTV.

I like a good sirloin buger, made with whole fillet of sirloin (preferably prime), cut, then put thru the food processor with kosher (or sea) salt. Medium cooked on a grill. Served on a potato bun with a little ketchup. Bacon and cheese ain’t bad either. Pickles and fries on the side. I luv pickles especially the sour garlic ones. Then wash it down with an ice cold beer like a stout. Heavenly!

Good luck on Sunday.
