YES! This Voga wine is SO BAD. Drinking my first and last ever glass of it right now. I sincerely wish I had read reviews on it before I bought it. It is the worst wine I have ever consumed. I had to do some research after my first taste because the smell just threw me off so much. At first I thought it must be off, but it’s not.. It’s just a terrible smelling, terrible tasting, sad excuse for a wine. Never again.

  • I like girls who wear makeup too, Gary. We may not agree on football, but at least we can agree on that.

    My two cents:

    The reason many do not comment is that these are too cumbersome to read. Every day there are silly people posting any number of “top 10??” messages, which one must scroll through. Then there are a smaller number of people who post comments yelling at those people for being inane. We all want to get along, of course, but if you’re wondering why Vayniacs (who love the show) don’t love the comments, that’s why.

  • Doh, I meant don’t wear makeup. That’s two comments, Even if it’s an update, it should still count as two cents.

    Good show, stil prefer reds but am learning to appreciate white and pink as well and experimenting with as many varieties as I can get hold of.

    Also got to agree with the others, why post if you’ve nothing to say.

  • kahuna

    Just dont search the Wl website and make a spelling error! I love when GV speaks french, at least his version of it. I think that is my favorite part of WLtv. New layout is coming together nicely-like the larger video size

    Gary, I am a everyday WLTV fan. I have one off the wall comment for you. As a wine fan, on a very limited budget, it is just breaking my heart to watch you pour a big chunk of wine in your cup, swish it, and toss it in the spit bucket. Couldn’t you just set a beaker of water there to rinse with? Then we could all imagine that you are giving the left over wine away to some poor cashier or stock boy that really needs a free buzz!

    I’ve never seen a wine at 50 points (or below) … I thought the Sylvaner from last year must have been bad. Hope I never try anything like that by accident.

  • You mean “whites that can be drunk (not drank) now.”

    Regardless of the grammar, let me say that the best reviews are those, like the Voga Pinot Grigio, where you excoriate the maker for producing soda pop.

    I order some of your raves, but learn from the pans. Keep up the variety. I can’t drink them all, but we all can learn from every one.

    Great episode today, Summer is here!!
    QOTD: Taking a few classes and graduating in August… and most certainly drinking a lot of wine.

    When should we look for a show on Mexican wine? I was under the impression it was mostly of the jug variety.

  • Ok, this episode should be an instant classic! You like many things that are pink? Cat pee-pee is exactly what you’re looking for? That rinse after the Voga? Haha! Awesome episode Gary. Worth every penny, definitely one of my favorites.
