  • 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

  • Tommy

    Sir Very Gaynerchuck

    Quite elistic show, which is the natural and lifeblood component of the wine culture.

    I hope we see you more often!

    Ps. I would say 20-80 only because there is not the red champagne.

    Outrageous!Fantastic!

    GREAT idea. Hard to believe you do this without rehersals. I like the Character idea! I made my staff watch with me today and we’re all laughing. GV looking through the spectacles and through the bottom of the glass at the camera was hilarious!

    Corton’s….I haven’t had many. DO they sound like something to seek out for that price point?

    QOTD : 97% Red

    QOTD : 97% Red

  • Sassodoro

    QOTD: Probably about 70-80% red and 20-30% white.

    Sir Gary is a very interesting character, but I’m not sure he quite captures my image of British-accented upper-class snobbery. He seems too overtly hostile for that, as opposed to merely being shocked and repelled by the unrefined tastes and manners of us lesser mortals, if he acknowledges our existence at all. I also picture somebody who insists on maintaining silly niceties. Insisting on a “proper rinse” had the right tone for me, except that this isn’t just a silly nicety. Maybe Sir Gary could hold out his pinky when he raises the glass to his lips, or wear a tastevin around his neck, or stuff like that.

    I love sir Gary.

    40% White/Rose consumption. I live in LA – where it is sunny and warm all year around and we eat Ca Salads and Sushi outdoors – whites and roses are best matches!

    dude – great lighting for this episode! can’t you get one of those hoity-toidy cigarette holder thingys for when you turn the elegance show over to “Sir”?

    doesn’t VinnyG makes some yummy vino?

  • OrionSlayer

    Sir Gary, though I love your wealth of knowledge and accomplished palate, I hate your pompous attitude. Our Gary would never lord his knowlege over us and speak down to us. So what if you have so much money and can afford to buy $100 wines without blinking!? Like Gary says, wine is for celebrating relationships, not separating us! 😉

    QOTD: Probably 70% red to 30% white, though it would be cool to be able to drink a white and a red every day (730 different wines a year!)

  • QOTD: Yearlong, about a 50/50 mix. During the summer, it skews towards white with a 75/25 white bias. During the winter, there’s nothing better than getting cozy with a nice red, so its probably 75/25 red. All this is not considering Rose, which is probably about a 10-20% addition during summertime.

    Sir Gary cracks me up, especially since you can see the real Gary coming through. Any other great characters in the plans?

  • DirtWineKen

    Sir Gary, either pull the broomstick out of your butt or get the real GV back on right away. This was so boring I couldn’t even watch through the first wine — even though I LOVE Corton Charlie and have had some great examples in the past!

    Sir Gary, go row your boat in the Himalayas – or whatever that was you said. That should keep you busy …

    Love the idea to bring back the “wine snob” every now and then. Entertaining!

    QOTD: 1/100 white to red 🙂 I think it’s because I have never been much apple/pear/tropical/citrus fruits. I prefer the dark/berry flavors that you find in red wine. Also, I LOVE the stinky stuff…leather/tobacco/et al.

    Sir Gary:

    Thank you ever so much for bringing wine back to a serious topic of discussion worthy of the elegant, elite class of society. It gives me great pleasure to look down at people of less fortune and sneer at them whilist drinking $100.00 per bottle swill from Corton Charlemagne. It is our tastes that matter the most and if the masses don’t agree with our precise opinions on style and taste, then let them go elswhere: perhaps a lowly NY Jets game and some cheap, ice cold, lite beer will sate their base desires. I shudder pondering the utter waste of life these lowly beings enjoy yet understand that without them, we wouldn’t be able to lock our gates, dispatch our hounds and poke at them with smoky pointed sticks whenever they dare intrude. Thank you for reaffirming our superior status and with any hope that hack of the populist movement, Mr. Vay – Ner – Chuk, will cease his over exuberant rantings of, dare I say it, cat pee and sticking one’s nose up a horse’s posterior. How vulgar! Keep up the great work, sir Gary, it’s people like us that can correct the WLTV ship.

    Tally ho!
