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.

    Sorry Gary, but I feel like a peep. Nothing to say. It’s too late to vote for my favorite video, (Tuesday evening EST), and I’m really too old to think up any games. That being said, you settle on a game……and I’m there.

    Drinking game suggestions:
    Drink when Gary:
    Makes a wrestling reference
    Mentions the Jets
    Says a wine smells like “poop”
    Pours wine out for the “homies who can’t be with us”
    Picks up an action figure
    Uses the term old or new world
    Has Mott link something up
    Throws a cork at the camera
    Bags on yellowtail et al

    Brilliant episode… Loved it!

    The glass is the Bottega del Vino Burgunder… ~$200 bones.

    QOTD: Can’t really think of a WL _drinking game, but I could see a blind taste test where you smell/taste and give description and have the Vayner Nation comment on what wine they think you tasted. The reveal would be the next day.

    #1 is the winner. Very funny, and very original from beginning to end. #3 ended very strong (especially after 12 minutes) but started off slow.

    Great show. I saw a Big Ass Glass just like Gary’s at the World Market. It wasn’t as big but still pretty big. It looked just like the one Gary uses and sells for $8.99.

    Gigondas tends to produce better value in Rhone wines than the more well-known Chateauneuf-du-Pape. It looks like you found a couple of winners here. Good show!

    Any WLTV game would have to have some identification of wine and rating of wine involved.
