Hey Gary i watched the game and was going for your jets. I am sorry that they lost however next year is another year. I hope sooner than later we get the other Gary back. Cheer up my friend it will get better lol.

QOTD:
-It really depends how sad you are. Usually I will go for one of the nice bottles in the collection to cheer me up.

No, don’t listen to Anne. Don’t use that tasting glass, please!

No chogan, this is like watching some GV wannabe:

I thought wile you were spitting the Marietta you were going to start sobbing with your head in the bucket. At least you arenâ??t a Rams fan like me. The Jets played some great football this year unlike my team.

Yikes…atleast spring training is coming up. And Randy is gone!!!!

Finally! An episode with some class and respect for the wine culture.

NOT! Put on a DVD of Broadway Joe and his boys. At least you were in the playoffs and have won a Super Bowl. The Mighty Vikes…no playoffs and 0-4 in the SB. Buck up, my friend.

QOTD: Cheap Port and a lot of it.

1 minute into the episode and I can see you need a hug Gary. Sorry about the loss. The Jets did great this year, superbowl or not. Now for the love of grapes, become the Vayner-Freak we love so much again. Mopey GV just wont cut it. Hell, the WineTasteTV lady is more interesting.

I am heading back to finish the episode now. Hoefully you will get your act together before its over. 😉

Uncle Josh

BTW, you are a splitting image of my grand father Lou. It’s like looking right into the past at my favorite person ever.

Gary, I watched a pro football game only because its your team….I haven’t watched many since the Browns left Cleveland for Baltimore….things will get better each day….Qotd….A good martini is nice when you are happy or sad….Thanks for the show on Petit Sirah….How did you rate the Bogle that you mentioned?

Gary:

I am so surprized you did an episode at all today, what with the travel and the depression of the trip. I was shocked to see an episode….and a GREAT episode featuring Petit Sirah!!! I was waiting for this.

I disagree with Brandon on the Petrus. When you are down, you cannot get up for a great wine and it would be wasted. Remember what a downer it was to see Miles drink his ’61 Cheval Blanc being totally down – – when he should have drank it happily with Maya? What a waste of ’61 Cheval. Never drink a profound wine when you are in the pits. In fact, you should re-review the Quixote when you are skying and see if it is even better.

I go with something simple and comforting when I am down, something that does not require much burdon of thought. Same with the evening. Cuddle on the couch with Lizzy, with a Barbera, Crozes- Hermitage, Cotes du Rhone, Zin, or Morgon/Fluerie/Moulin-a-Vent and watch Westside Story.

Better luck in the draft,
Joe

Gary: I lived in Baltimore in 1969. I was 8 years old and Johnny Unitas was (still is) my hero. It was bad enough when the Mets beat the O’s in the World Series, but I nearly died when the Jets won the Superbowl.

QOTD: In ’69 I drowned my sorrows in a tall glass of Dr. Pepper – mostly red fruit carried by light bubbles up front, then a hint of pepper, with by a black cherry finish. Good drinking. Today I’d take two bottles of a young, massive red. Find some juice that will really blow your bolt. Remember the Torbreck, The Factor? Pull the scab off of one bottle, tuck into some lamb chops and the world will be a better place. Then put away the other bottle and don’t drink it until the Jets win the AFC (or beat the Pat’s, if you’re into revenge). Like the Jets, The Factor will only get better – so tonight you should think about how sweet that victory will taste.

Cheers.

Gary,

Sorry to hear about your loss dude. I sounded just like you for about two weeks after we had to put my dog down a few years ago. It’ll get better with time.

QOD: I find the hard stuff works best when your feelin down.

I drink A-LOT of wine when I’m sad. Cheer up buddy you have a young team. Show was awful by the way. Bordering on unwatchable.

On the upside, being in the dumps has brought out a dozen lurkers in an effort to console you. You may be on to something here…

Cheer up Gary. The Jets did WAY better than anyone would have thought they did at the beginning of the season. That in and of itself is a huge compliment.

QOD: Sad = a big, jammy red like a CA zin or a new world Australian shiraz……….

Suck it up you puppy dog eyed, greatest fan, of a loosing team, whiner. There’s always next year. You don’t need to ack like your goldfish died on the same day that your mom took away your blankie. Oh btw your best friend moved away, you are moving next week in the opposite direction, and you were picked last in dodgeball, again. You need a slap up side the head. Get a box of Scout cookies and a glass of milk and a warm comforter, take a nap and get over it. The 24 hours of mourning is over, I didn’t subscribe to RSVP your pity party.

PS: thanks for making my wife and daughter cry, you whiner.

PPS: Thanks for almost doing a Petite Syrah episode, it’s one ov my favorites.

So Joe…you should drink a BAD wine when you or down, or no wine at all?
If I was TRULY TRULY sad, I would probably pop a great bottle in an “F IT, I DESERVE IT” kind of way.

And please…no West Side Story….watch Die Hard, or Predator, or Boondock Saints!

🙂

I’m having a hard time figuring out who was more sad this weekend……….Gary V or Tony Romo? QOD – go with some bubbly, the bubbles might scrub the bad taste out of your mouth. Sorry about the loss and KAHUNA’s post………..that was brutal!

For a sad day i would definitely skip the wine and go straight to Tequila.

At least you are not a Giants fan.

Gary,
Sorry about the Jets. But way to get back up in the saddle. No hardship can stop WLTV!! I must admit, it was hard to tell if you were just subdued and saddened by your Jets, or if you were putting us on a bit. And it could be worse. Like Sue Z said, you could be Tony Romo. Or Tom Coughlin. He’ll be unemployed soon!

BTW Wuh-the-fu is an ASSoteric grape?

Sorry Gare. The Jets played sucky, I know. But suck it up and enjoy that vino! Please? We miss you!
