Just got turned on to WLTV and am LOVING it! Lotta catching up to do, and this episode was great. Gotta get my hands on some Gigondas. It’s too bad that some of these wines are hard to find. Kind of fun adventuring to find them though.

    Another new wine for me to go out and try, thanks Gary. Thats plenty of talk about Tecmo Bowl, I would take you on without Bo as well. I don’t need him. Like I said, I have two copies of the game, that already beats you.

    Video vote: 3

  • Mark

    Loved the cleverness of video #1, but I have to go with #3. He has Gary cold. I loved every minute of it.

    QOTD: WLTV Drinking Game- Each time you tell Mott to link something up, take one drink. If you love a wine and have Mott taste it, take two drinks. If you HATE a wine, and make Mott smell or taste it, take three drinks.

    Awesome show Gary! I vote for #3!

    QoTD: I’m not that clever to come up with a game 😛

  • CBone

    Good show!
    I VOTE FOR #1, though #3 did the best impersonation, I think the spoof quality of #1 gets my vote.

    Gigondas are some of my favorite. Big fan of the Cotes du Rhone wines in general.

    This has nothing to do with this show, but I tried a Chinon for the first time a few days back. Good stuff!

    A spoof is supposed to be funny and not EXACTLY like the original show, so I vote for #1. #2 is too identical to Gary V, not creative enough! #3 – how dare you perpetuate the rivalry between the Pats and the Jets! Shame on you.
