    Sir Gary V. II,

    Nice episode- very funny & very Wine Spectator. The Pretention & and the whole “I just came back from quail hunting” attitude was on point. Keep it up and Please Sir Gary V. II, do pay us another visit soon to remind us how we need not be. Cheers.

    QOTD: R90%/W10%.

    Truly outstanding work snobby Gary. What range Lord V has shown us. Perchance a spot on inside the actors studio or masterpiece theater is next. I can’t wait to collect the change from under the couch cushions and on the car floor to taste some of Charlemagnes wines. Maybe the Vatican will lend me his coat to wear while I drink.

    QOTD: 80 to 20 red to white. Mostly champagne and sauvignon blanc.

    Oi. Clever, but I’m sure glad your show isn’t like that more than once every century. I had to skip ahead, sorry Gary, couldn’t take it!

    QOD – 50/50.

    Sir Gary,

    QOTD
    65/35 R/W

    You are the only British wine critic I’ve seen use the outlandish, vulgar American 100-point system. What would Michael Broadbent, Jancis Robinson, and Andrew Jefford (my personal favourite) say if they saw this show? Methinks that they would reject your Fellowship. I think that you, SIR Gary, should swithch over to the much more sophisticated and British 5-star system used by Decanter, the world’s greatest wine magazine. Another alternative would be the 20 point system enjoyed by those who are sophisticated and educated enough to read La Revue des Vins de France. One the whole however, you are a very welcome addition to what is otherwise a brash show which undertakes the very un-noble task of opening wine up to the “commoners.”

  • Bet you didn’t have to blow into a paper bag after this episode Gary, your GP will be most pleased.

    I enjoyed seeing the calmer Gary… infact, the themed Gary show is a concept waiting to explode:

    Count Gary tastes wine (Dracular)
    Pop queen Gary V tastes wine (Brittney Spears)
    Senater Vaynerchuck Tastes (politician)

    I would watch.

  • QOTD: Prob 50/50 lately, been exploring some awesome Sav Blancs from all over the place.

  • His Royal Highness

    Muffy and I partake of reds over whites, 75% of the time. It’s primarily because we’re quite enthralled with the 100 cases of the 2000 Chateau Le Pin that our friends gave us as castle warming gifts during one of our recent wild boar dinners. Quite an intoxicating wine and food pairing, I must say!

  • msb2ncsu

    Haha, I love the way Gary ever so slightly raised an eyebrow and fought off a smile after saying he was going to smoke a very excellent pipe.

    QOTD: Probably 60% reds to 40% whites. We drink a lot more white in the summer because of the types of food we cook. Friday and Saturday is almost always red because tend to cook big ol’ steaks or hefty pastas.

    Its good to know that Sir Gary is a sporting fellow and likes to shoot crows. I could only wonder if he would state that at wine could smell like “A shot crow.” 🙂

    QOTD: 90% RED, 9% White, 1% Rose

  • Nathan

    Gary, could you be a little more bourgeois. Please a few more contractions would be nice.
    CKC in the house!
    6.5 Redd 3.5 Wyte

  • Robert F

    Along with that superfluous jerk-off Gary, Louis Jadot is one of the most over-rated brands ever. I’ve never had a Jadot that I thought was worth the price. Although the real red Corton is far superior 🙂 , I would like to try a corton charlemagne at some point.

    QOTD: 75% red 25% white

  • Fabulous, I’m so glad Sir Gary is going to be filling in for you occasionally! Everyone needs an alter-ego to come take over the business now and again.

    QOD: I used to be 99/1 Red/White, but these days I’m more like 50/40/10 Red/White/Pink

    garycanwinenerditalldayifyouwant!!! I love it!

    QOTD: 70/30.

  • Sir Gary,

    I appreciated how elegantly polished and refined your style and delivery was today on the show. It could not be appropriatley deemed anything else but “The Elegance Hour,” because wine should be refined and proper.

    And because I am someone who is unfortunatley of piss on status, I could only ever dream of being as elegant as you are, because after all, isn’t masculinity and being a man all about elegance? But of course!

    And what about this nonsense of drinking wine with hamburgers or while watching American football matches. Wine should be consumed with a pipe, perhaps a shotgun while in the woods, or with the womenfolk.

    It’s quite sad to see those pathetic people drinking yellowtail shiraz, and thinking they know what’s best for their own palate. Bullroar as I say! Wine should be taken very seriously, and it is dangerous for most people who are not as educated or as elegant as us to make their own decisions about what wines they like to drink, because their palates are not as sophisticated as ours are.

    I hope you can continue trying to change the wine world and bring it back to its grandiose status, because people need to trust our palates, not their own. And what about this cat pee nonsense!

    Perhaps the piss ons should continue drinking this wine instead of saving their money for white burgundy, or perhaps continue foolishly drinking these rediculous New World fruit “bombs.”

    Anyone with any wine wisdom and elegance knows that the only good and propper wines to drink come from the Old World, and should not be consumed without food.

    Keep the torch burning my brother, and perhaps you could join my pipe and wine based secret society someday – similar to the Skull and Bones or the Knight’s Templar, or the Illuminati for that matter, but rather than have purely political adgendas, we focus our underground networking and secret objectives on controling anything elegent.

    Respectfully yours,

    Duke Garret W. Nagel III of Holland

  • I couldn’t even make it to the QOTD, I couldn’t stop laughing and nearly got busted by my boss. I will watch the rest of the EP at home. Marvelous.

  • Kevin

    I can’t believe people still throw an extra “c” in your name, despite your best efforts against it. I share your pain…

    QOTD: 91/9 red
