Great show, even better story, GV. I visited LA years ago (drove there!) and got a parking ticket while I ran across the street to use a pay phone (like I said, years ago). Being a hardass Jersey kid, I ripped up the ticket in plain sight of the cop and went on my merry way. A few months later, I got a letter at home telling me first that my $15 ticket was now worth $100 and second that if I did not pay up post haste, my very own NJ state troopers would be coming to “seek me out” on behalf of their CA bretheren. I believed and I paid! Friggin’ LA….
QOTD: I’m with TimF. No comment.

QOTD: You take a ripe strawberry, dip it in warm milk chocolat, then take a diabetic syringe and fill it with Grand Marinier and inject it into the strawberry. Wait 5 minutes and bite into the strawberry. Explosive taste orgasims occur under both ears. Follow quickly with Champagne. Life is good. Jerry the 2thdr

QOTD: Chocolate!!!!!!!

wow. so the SF party… will be you on the lam? sweet! I hope we don’t get raided, unless it’s prohibition style with tommy guns and fedoras. 🙂

Killer stories, enjoyed them thoroughly! As a bay-area resident, I can say that most people shake their heads and talk about how $hitty it has become at raider’s games. Lots of fans can’t share the experience of a live game with their kids because it’s too dangerous. A guy I went to HS with played for the 49’ers (Jay Newberry #62) and his father had a beer bottle busted over his head in the stands in Oakland. Outta control!

guilty pleasure: chevy’s fajitas w/ the hot tortillas from “el machino”. Holy crap I’m about to BURST when I leave that place.

See ya thursday.

Way to mess with the popos Gary! I love zins and now I think I’m gonna have to get one for the weekend.
QOTD: Playing my guitar that I spent WAY too much money on. I love that thing.

QoD – Bad kung-fu movies ….

Thanks for the story …. another reason to stay on the “right” coast.

Another great one. The oak monster takes a dump……nice.

Questions:
1) How’d you talk your way out of jail?
2) Where you in jail with Lindsay Lohan after her arrest (also saturday)???!! Don’t worry. We won’t tell Mrs. Vaynerchuk.

QOTD: watching your show…..at work.

Crazy story, Gary! Thanks for sharing!

QOTD: staying up unbelievably late for no reason (and then sleeping in like crazy the following day (when work doesn’t ruin that)… I’m an owl!)

OK, I just had to pause this episode to make one comment.

Oak Monster crap masked with the scent of Febreze??? Dude, that’s just sick.

Back to WLTV.

Just finished watching and it was great(although, I’m still queasy from the Febreze comment).

Zin is, by far, MY FAVORITE VARIETAL! Next time, throw in some PASO ZINS, ok?

You Rock, Your show Rocks, and what Rocks my world is having a glass of great wine while your camping or just sitting on the bank of a nice stream/river thinking life is good.

Show idea: How about an office road trip to see if wines taste different in nature(the beach, the mountains, the park, or a “Jets” game). If we are changing the wine world lets not leave any place unexplored.

FABTASTIC LA story, BIG G! I’m just glad you didn’t get cavity searched…(see– we ARE so lucky)

QOTD: It’s wierd, and maybe it’s because I’m a poor college student, but I really like to drink wine while eating TOAST and watching WLTV– good toast- like 9 grain or flaxseed and whatever nut bread- something about the way it soaks up the wine in your mouth… ok this does seem odd. But it’s my favorite after-work pairing when I watch WL every night. Hey- you asked.

Love the Copola Zin. Guilty please is a blizzerd from dairy queen, peanut butter cup!

Someone stole the bucket??! Dun duh dun….

QOTD: Watching WLTV everyday at work 🙂

Awesome story about LA , glad they let you go ! Great ep also , the OAK MONSTER takes a dump and then sprays fabreeze LOL . QOTD Cheese Cake !!!

great as always, would be helpfull with some general facts when you go for a theme eg. Zinfandel is the same grape as Primitivo aso

big-up fro Swden

This episode killed it… I’ll laugh about that story all day thanks. If there were only footage of the 80yr old grandma road warrior in the three point stance(or better yet how about grandma road warrior T-shirt)… Great zins to boot…great show.QOTD My guilty pleasure wine and cheese

Hmmm…. arrested in L.A., likes wine = Wino? 😉

Never tried a Zin, mostly because people tell me if I don’t like red, I won’t like Zin. Have to change my brain.

Ha! Killer My guilty pleasure is opening wines I have only one of with old friends. Something special to me because I have only one…and most likely something I can’t find again…so we share something special together. I had an old Army buddy and his fiance stop in to see me recently and I opened my only bottle of 2004 Domaine Alfred CALIFA Pinot. They were totally blown away as they normally stick to white wines. It was great to share something new with someone who doesn’t normally drink red wine. What am I going to share with you when you come to visit me at Havana???

Looooove the Zinfandel. Now I’ll have some serious zins other than Ridge to try.

QOTD: Hours of back to back Star Trek TNG on Spike TV

GREAT STORY – Did you hear the Music – Bad Boys, Bad Boys – Whatcha gonna do if they come for You – While they cuffed and stuffed you.

A similar situation happened to me in Washinton Sq Park when I was 17. They gave me a open container ticket. Meanwhile everyone esle was selling drugs.

I’m just getting into white wine for the summer – Please do a show on French whites.

Great episode! Zinfandel, BBQ, and this weather are the perfect match. Go Steelers!

Gary, I’ve never heard of the cops asking the passenger for their DL, sounds like they knew you were coming and had an APB on you. I suspect a conspiracy, maybe the same people behind the assassination of certain president. That is like the LAPD, arresting “celebrities” (status change for Gary) while the gang bangers run the city.
Kahuna, great picture, again. Zins rock.
QOTD: Every second alive is a guilty pleasure for me.
