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.

  • 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.

    where’s the QOD viddler tag now? I see that all the tags now have corresponding cork’d links.. is this a database thing? (no link for QOD)
    Maybe you can just print it in the HTML like you did before.

    my QOD: summer will be awesome: Hopefully many weekends to LBI and VT, wife and I will be going down to ATL in July to visit family, and goin RVing in Yellowstone in August!

    there it is.. I think that was like .15, do you give change?

  • amgryger

    Today in brooklyn it is starting to feel a bit like summer.

    QOTD. Starting my post-graduation employment next week and hoping that the income that comes with it will allow me to enjoy more wine myself, instead of vicariously through Gary.

    QOTD: I am going to Mexico for vacation and drinking LOTS of wine. 🙂

    Great episode! You really tore up that Voga wine. LOL, but that is exactly what is useful in the reviews. I am looking forward to seeing what comes with all the new integration. Thanks!

  • Jeffrey

    I know people use it, but I can’t stand that cat pee descriptive – everytime I think about buying a Sauvignon Blanc, I think cat pee, and put it back on the shelf!

    And by the way my wife digs you and the show. We typically listen to them at home together. In fact we were trying to find the compilation show done my a fan of all your way out wine descriptions. 🙂

  • QOTD: I am going to try my best to be playing a lot of b-ball and sand volleyball.

    This episode is full of funny lines: Funk de funk, this wine is HORRENDOUS, good ol’ fashioned american currency, cat pee, and zingy, zangy, tangy, wangy.

    Oh man, I commented three times already. Can we fill up our $.10 quota in one day?

    Gary,
    Fun episode. Great idea to do summer wines. Next time, can you do some Arneis? I think they are fantastic summer wines. Go great after a round of golf!
    QOTD: This summer, it’s Hilton Head with the family, our Tour of NY (from NC to NY and back) and hopefully, lots of golf!!!
    Got to go, I’m off to sign up on Cork’d.

    Bought some of the Grosset and Ricard. Looking forward to trying both. I’m liking the new look of WLTV for sure. How about a sparkling wine or Prosecco espisode being that summer’s almost here?

    Just checking in and wow, I’ve been gone a couple days and the entire website improves! Looks good.

    I’ll be back later to add my two cents regarding the reviews. Summer whites work for me.

    Cat Pee? I dunno Gary, you may have lost me there.

    Question of the day…. Hopin’ that summer in Northern England this year stays warm and dry enough for evening BBQs with plenty of Tempranillo Rose….

    I agree with Colin, nice rinse after the Voga. Should have just got a new glass.

    QOTD: work, basketball outside (hopefully), going to Italy in July for a week, drinking wine, love the rose, maybe decide to go into the wine industry?!?!

    My two cents: Good episode, maybe due for a blind tasting episode on summer wines, or blind tasting episode on rose. Karantes Rose from Languedoc is excellent imo.

  • MarkT

    ^Lurker. Heres my 2 cents: Awesome show.

    Wow, half a bottle of the “Pierre A Fen” to wash out all memories of the Voga? (next time use quarters, it couldn’t hurt).

    QOTD – Stankin’ working, BUT, only 2190 days, or thereabouts until the youngest finishes college.

    The wife doesn’t seem to find you too annoying but the dog puts her paws over her ears when you come on (she’s a lazy lab and can’t take all the excitement)

    Don’t take this the wrong way but I think you’re cute too in a manly man sort of way NTTAWWT.

    Don’t hold back, Gary. Tell us what you REALLY think about the Voga Pinot Grigio!

  • Herm

    Qotd: a trip to Colorado at the end of june and South Carolina in August….I enjoyed the show….someone commented earlier on Rioja….I would like a show on Rioja…just a thought

  • Jimkay

    Real comment: Do you think anything packaged like the Voga – weird bottle, weird closure – will ever be more than some wine-like beverage made for the Bartles & James drinker?
