Gary- Great episode on a new varietal to me. Never heard of Gigonda, I have been learning ssssssooooooooooooo much!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂

By the looks of the glass next to the bottle it seems that glass is the BV 8 Bottega Burgunder by Bottega del Vino. They are lead free and dishwasher safe and are great if you hate washing Riedel’s by hand.

Cool show. I’m thinking you do a shot of B-12 or some other substance before taping….LOL I wish I had as much energy as you do.

About the game…..I’ll get to you on that by email. I have a great idea..!!!

GV – You’ve prob. already picked, but I vote #1. And, I love Gigondas. Like, a lot. QOTD – Actually, this old family friend created this card game called Wine Teasers which my family plays once in a great while. It’s pretty educational and fun – who knew he was a wine guy! http://www.wineteasers.com/

#2 for sure…AMM

SHAAAAAA-ZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMM!!!! Gigondas finally gets some Looove
in da Hizzy!!! 🙂

QOTD: WLTV Drinking Game??? Yo G…..I LIIIIIIIKE IIIIIIIT!!!!! PUT ME
IN!!!!!

I think You Made A Wrong Choice In your Narrowing Down Gary. While all of these 3 efforts you chose were great…The Best Spoof that had me rolling on the floor was from the episode where you linked up some examples of Videos you were getting. The Dentist doing a Comparison Tasting of Listerine Products was well written, well executed and a Genius of a Concept. However since that is not a Choice…and numbers 2 and 3 just did an impersonation of Wine Library….not a Parody or Spoof

The Winner is Hands Down #1 POPS LINK IT UP!!!

#2 Loved the new ownership position and head.

Just wanted to say, éclair (that pastry you mentioned) means thunder in French. 90+, that’s some serious éclair my friend.

#1 was very cool….lol

But #3 was just a little bit funnier. I was laughing all the way through. Very creative.

#3..!!

Number 1. No contest.

Love the rain.

However, gotta give props to number 3 and the surprise bottle number 2 winner.

#1 by far! Exceptionally well-done and well-spoofed to every fine detail.

Favorite quote:
“I smell a hint of struggle. A little bit of suffering. These lemons must be from Alabama…Mississippi…somewhere down south.”

Thanks for the information about Gigondas. I appreciate the work you do for all of us who are trying to learn a little about wine. It’s great to find out about the grapes, where they are from, the good years (and bad) and the people that produce the wine. As far as “drinking” game goes I thought we were doing something different here. This is not something I find interesting. At all.

GV,

Number 1 for sure! I like that the producer was his momma!

MC

#3 Hands-down! Even the big-ass glass got spoofed! Beautiful! Picture of Gary and Vinnie . . . priceless!

3 – I vote for #3 Justin O – what a nerd! oh, sorry!

OH, my 3

1 and 2 are very funny and good also. But 3 takes the Gary V cake.

BV – stands for BIG VASE! My gosh, you’ve been drinking from a VASE!! Put a flower in it and get a wine glass! OMG! Spit it out! (oh, you do)

I must try a Gigondas! I’ve never heard or had one! Can’t wait. Local store only has two kinds. . . sigh. being in the south has it’s draw backs!

All three were good, but #1 was the winner for me.

# 3, closely followed by # 1…..they both deserve huge kudos. Naples Kathy aka Champagne Lady

#3 should be the winner.

I vote for Video Spoof #2, being a Giants fan there is NO WAY I can vote for a Eagles fan or someone using a Pats spit bucket, spoof or no spoof.

Some rules for a WineLib Drinking Game:
1 Sip
– Anytime you hear “Mott link it up!”
– Anytime you hear the phrase “Fruit Bomb”
– Anytime GV tells you the Jets player who wears the number of the wine rating
2 Sips
– Throws/Flicks cork at the camera
– GV rates a wine 95 pts. or higher
– GV rates a wine below 80 pts.
– Any appearance of the Oak Monster
– Anytime GV makes a reference to a razor blade cutting your tongue
– Anytime GV tells you not to believe his opinions
3 Sips
– Everytime GV makes shameless book plug
– Whenever a guest makes a shameless plug
– Anytime GV makes a wrestling reference
– Anytime you hear the words “Big Ass Glass!”
Chug the Glass
– GV rates a wine undrinkable, between 50 – 60 pts.
– Anytime GV makes a delusional prediction about the Jets future success (i.e. The Jets going .500 this season, or the Jets winning a Superbowl in his lifetime)
– Anytime you hear a reference to manure or sheep butt

#3 – I would give you my wine game rules, but it is so kick a$$ that I’m gonna make a fortune from it.

Number 1, the Juice guy, by far the best.

Definitely, #3. Then #1 and then #2.

Great information on the not so well known grape Gigondas!

Great work from all but #3 has my vote!!!

Hey, whoever wins is all right by me. Big kudos for their creative efforts!
WOW 94 points don’t come easily from you Gary. Gigondas is something I have never experienced. Thanks for bringing this new wine to all of us. Serious Thunder too!!!!!! But I really liked number 1.

Love this episode! I like the direction the show is going. Great work Gary!

QOTD: Ehm… Flip cup?
