EP 161 Petite Sirah Wines After a Big Loss

Wines tasted in this episode:

Petite Sirah is it the same as Syrah? Is Petite Sirah bigger or smaller then Syrah? Is Petite Sirah the same as Durif? All these questions and more will be answered by a sad Gary Vaynerchuk.

Just came back from Napa and tried some great Petite Sirahs, have had some over the yrs but maybe only a couple times a year, now I will seek them out more, not had these Gary drank yet. QOTD-too broad a questions, depends on what caused the sadness..Jets losing which caused you to shave would be a Cab. http://www.winelx.com

    Gary,

    Sorry about your Jets. Being a Giants’ fan, I feel your pain!

    Johnny Walker Black does the trick for me.

    Brandon, with Gary’s mood – I recommend Mondavi Select and Columbia Crest!!!!! I like Your Die Hard selection (but he was in such a Theatrical mood today – both literally and figurtively) that I could not help but pull out some Broadway movie. By the way, I was a Jets fan since 7 years old – and I’m down too….but I was down since Gary switched form the Big Playoff Glass to the “tasting glass”. I knew once he switched – My Jets were history!

    QOD: I think of some wine that will cheer me up and it would be Alsace rieseling.

  • Hilarious Gary,

    I loved the dead pan approach. Don’t want to ever see it again but it was great. How did you keep a stright face during that. Great job My only concern is that newbies will see this and think this is the real you.

    Sorry for the loss, now quit mourning and bring the VEY – NER – CHUK back.

    QOTD – double scotch, single malt…and repeat until properly titrated…
    or else there’s always tequila – I prefer don julio chilled in a shaker,
    served up in a martini glass…and repeat until properly titrated.

    Sorry about your Jets…now “let’s move on”

    Great episode!

    Like performance art. Just as I would expect after this weekend.
    I know your are sad but revile in how far the Jets came. This is supposed to be a rebuilding year. This bodes well for next year.

  • When I’m sad( like I was after the horrific loss by Dallas) I like to drink as much Boone’s Farm Apple Blossom wine as I can. I promise you won’t be able to remember why you were sad.

    Mike F.D.N.Y.

    P.S. Did you really think they had a chance??

    Sorry about the Jets.

    QOTD: When I’m sad I stay away from wine (depressant + depression = more sad.) I really stay away from 2006 Raiders.

    Gary,

    Your overall demeanor today reminds me of how I felt after Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals in 1994 when I had to watch my New Jersey Devils lose to the Rangers with all the Ranger fans celebrating around me and freakin’ Messier sprouting a halo before my very eyes (you know, the “Matteau!! Matteau!!! Matteau!!!! One more moutain to climb, Mount Vancouver!!!” game).
    (Yes, I know you’re probably a Ranger fan, so this memory should bring at least a hint of a smile to your face.)

    Well we all know what happened the following year, right!! A Devils Stanley Cup!!! So, write it down, our J-E-T-S will WIN the Super Bowl next year! You heard it here first! Man-genious will bring it home, so cheer up!!

    QOD- When THIS depressed, I’m afraid the only thing that might help is a shot (or three) of Patron… you know, sort of like electro-shock therapy for the palate. : )

    Oh-mi-gosh! I remember the year, 1969 where your Jets, Mets and maybe Knicks defeated my Colts, Orioles (at the time) and Bullets for all the marbles. And we were hugely favored! Talk about sad. 🙁

    Regarding the QOD and which wine would I drink when I’m sad? I’m going to go with a Pommery Champagne (Apenage) which reminds me of a trip to Reims where the little woman and I had dinner and stayed the night at Les Crayeres (Chateau Boyer). Unbelievable.

    Hang in there Gary. As they say, “the Jets did good.”

    Dom

    P.S. Go Colts! Beat the convicts.

  • Jeff (aka Opus None)

    Gary,

    Talk about mixed feelings. I’m really physched (sp) about the Pats winning and at the same time feel a little sad knowing what you must be going through. If it’s any consolation, I was really impressed by Mangini’s coaching and I get the feeling next years matchups will be tougher for us up here in NE.

    QOD: Drink something that reminds you of some good experience.

    Till next season,

    Wine talk only

    -Jeff

  • Sorry then to you to Joe, at least your Jets were there.

    I can’t drink Mondavi Select. It takes so much energy to swallow that stuff.
    Columbia Crest is a little better, but still no WEST SIDE STORY! 🙂

    Gary, that was like a little bit of you and a lot of Valium. Grow the beard back. It looked good. Really. (Every guy I ever dated – or married – had a beard.) And when I’m sad, I drink whatever is nearest. Sometimes it doesn’t work.

    People!!! It’s a game!!! There is ment to be a winner & a loser… Just kick the “Cat” and move on. Count your blessings for your Family and your health and good wine and good food. That’s what’s important in life…

    -When ever someone asks what your making for dinner, tell them “Reservations”…

  • Gary, I liked the “petite-sirah” theme… nice. Very sorry about your Jets… we know you love them dearly. All in all, a very SUCCESSFUL season, and congratulations for that!

    QOTD: how about one of your first growths? Remember, you and the Jets are part of something way bigger… = WLTV!!!!!!!! whooooooohoooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!

    Gary,
    I’m sorry about your J-E-T-S. I hope they weren’t too hard on you at Gillette. I’m a Red Sox fan so I have been through this before. The pain goes away… eventually. It’s a good sign that you still have your Jets bucket…I’m not sure I would be that strong.

    QOD: I just go to sleep.

    Sad, sad, sad. I felt just as bad after watching the Packers lose SB XXXII to the Broncos. I’ve never, ever watched a replay of that game…

  • Sorry Gary, Tough loss. They just eat your kishkas out. I couldn’t even find solice in a Giant win.
    Us New Yorkers have to hang our heads down. We just got beat.

    One more year of underdog status to make the eventual Superbowl win that much more sweet and profound. Dare I say I’m a Yankee’s fan, but sometimes I find it tough towards the post season, because well they’re the most winning team in baseball, and they’re just expected to be able to do it year after year. The Jets are like the Red Sox, when they do finally get that ring it’ll go down as a great accomplishment in sports history.

    QOTD: No wine, staight to the Irish brothers, Jameson and Guiness. And a little Rolling Stones on the speakers, do however try and avoid the Tom Waits and Nick Drake for atleast 2 weeks. Do not go to Mexico either, bad idea when your down.

    When you go to Cali, try the Gilurzo(spelling) out of Temecula (outside San Diego)- it’s a GREAT Petite Sirah (if they still exist). Sorry about the JETS, but my E A G L E S beat those G-Men- so that should make you happy.

  • Gary,

    I am more sorry that people here are gving you so much greif for being sad that your team loosing. It really shows a lot of crass, poor form. It must have been a serious letdown to loose the game, I am sorry for that, I am glad you have a loving and supportive wife and family that is there for you.

    I was feeling bummed out because you were so sad, and watching some of the WLTV spoofs really made me feel better.

    QOTD: Contrary to many of the suggestions posed hear I will not advocate an audacious consumption of alcohol tonight, I have faith that you have the will and fiber to deal with greif organic, and a healthy way.

    I hope you feel better soon, we all really care about you.

    peace,
    Joel

    PS. Use whatever glass you feel moved to.

    Gary, I’m dissapointed in you. You let a few comments about the gay glass change your mind about it? Do what you like, who the hell cares what we think.

    GV — I know this is a little like asking Mary Todd Lincoln what she thought about the play, but how’d you like Providence? Where did you end up eating?

    And just to take insensitivity to the next level, will you be giving the final Jets-related free shipping code to your New England contingency? The bright side being you only had to give it out six times this year (not including this one).

    Be proud of your Jets–they did manage to surpass everyone’s expectations (except yours, of course).

    QOTD: Johnnie Walker Gold, straight up. Plus for you perhaps some Lionel Richie on the hi-fi.
