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

    Love Petite Sirah, love to see the Concannon acquit itself admirably, but my god that was painful to watch.

    QOD: Madiran fresh out of the bottle (yeah, Tannat again I know). Dark, bitter, punishing, but if you persist long enough good things happen.

    (Although not with the one I had the other night … but that’s another story.)

  • Porter

    Gary,

    I miss the Riedel tasting glass…. bring it back. You’re all about doing your thang and doing what makes you happy and not caring what other people think.

    Sorry about the Jets. Hope all your family and friends are doing well.

    The Madiran is a brilliant suggestion.

    I’ll drink an Argentinian Malbec (like Bodega Norton) when sad. It’s good but inexpensive, so the sorrow can be thoroughly drowned….

    I don’t like this sad-Gary…it’s too depressing. Bring back regular-Gary. Hey, at least the Jets made the playoffs, unlike my pathetic (and somewhat criminal) Bengals. Shake it off! You’ve still got the coolest job in the world! (Except for that Victoria Secret-photographer-guy….)

    From a life long Cowboys fan, you looked like Tony Romo doing the show 10 minutes following the Sat. game. At least now the lonely image of Bart Starr diving in for a touchdown in the 1967 Ice Bowl will have some company in the football failure recesses of my mind. I suffered a “Choker” induced gran mal seizure after the fumbled F.G. attempt and when I came to, aimlessly pacing around the house, my family informed me that I had fatally frightened every pet over 40 lbs. in the house. Anyway, congrats to your Jets, they had an awesome year.
    Q.O.D. same thing I drink when I am Happy. Outcome of games do not affect your family, their health or yours. Celebrate with wine the things that are important.
    JETS RULE 07, hope my Cowboys are as good.

  • Gary, I was bumbed watching the game and was thinking about you sitting there. I hope you did not take too much razzin by the Pat fans.
    I hated to see you clean shavin tonight and I hate Billy Bel-li-chuck.
    Just Drink it away.

    Gary, sorry for the loss but the season was much more than we all thought it would be back at the Hofstra camps. This episode is an instant classic.

    The Jets were holding up so well for the first half, too; unfortunately, it went down hill pretty fast. When I’m bummed, nothing will do except for LOTS OF OLOROSO SHERRY.

    Hope your spirits revive soon.

    Stop whining, you know they weren’t going all the way. I’m a Jets fan too and it was luck that we got in. That was an awful WLTV episode….It made me sick.

  • Well it looks like the show comments section is back on track. It hasn’t been this consistent since the forum started.

    Brandon M,
    Gary can take care of himself. It’s not just about the Jets. Remember Friday’s episode. He’d been hammered by ‘fans’. He’s probably rethinking his work. He’s been extraordinarily generous. Yet, there they are, his celebrants, taking pot shots (not you, of course) at his credibility. To put himself on camera, to do so simple a thing as review wine, invites cruelty. Strange world. You’re not his champion. Let G work it out.

    B…M,
    Don’t mean to pick a fight. Its simply that his effort today, well, yesterday, if my watch tells time, was about more than the Jets. He doesn’t require defenders, as spot on as your remarks may be.
    Let G express himself and leave it at that. Less commentary is more.

  • Wow Gary … I used to be a lurker, but no … this episode is gonna change that really. So sad, another Gary … is petite sirah really that ‘very exciting’ when you are sad? Definitely have to seek that out. Anyway, considering your loss: you did a great job again and remember, there is always another change for next season.
    My bottle to feel sad with: a Ripasso Valpolicella (e.g. Zenato). Why? The paradoxical mix of overripe sweetness and rigid structure make it really a melancholy wine. It looks as if it is pondering on its own bygone youth with its almost moldy, sweet rot smell and its dried fruit. To be drunk with Sigur Ros, Tom McCrae or Gustav Mahler!

    Common man, keep up the good spirits!

  • glenn

    dude – let it float away. NYJ are on the right track with the ‘O’ line rookies and a healthy Chad. as we wrote about earlier they find a big RB and they can be contenders each year.

    PS – always approachable and rarely inspiring. want a bargain CA PS try Bray from Amador Co. want to spend some money on mouth feel then Broll Mountain from Calaveras Co is a nice choice. i’m too cheap to spend $45 American on PS though you made The Quixote sound appealing.

    Come on Gary. Cheer up! Its only a football game (well, its not really football anyway, maybe handball, but whatever!) You still have wine to drink, and that will never let you down. The beard also made you look kind of evil, so that can’t be too much of a loss!
