drinking game- each time Gary spits a wine the player take 1 drink(if the wine is good enough for Gary to swallow that’s 2 drinks.)
-each time Gary says Mott that’s 1 drink
-each time Gary names a fruit or says the word fruit that’s 1 drink

QOTD: I’m think titles sometimes take away from substance as a whole, so we’ll simply call it The WLTV Drinking Game (best I could come up with; I’m not thinking and am just winging it). A few rules off the top of my head:
Description before pour:
– Gary refers to the wines as “interesting” – 1 drink
– Gary refers to it/them as “under the radar” – 2 drinks
– Gary goes off on a tangent – 1 drink (this applies throughout the episode)
– Gary shows off his French wine pronunciation abilities – laugh like Maurice Chevalier, then take 1 drink

Color:
– Gary says a wine has good color – 1 drink
– Gary says a wine has great color – 2 drinks
– Gary says a wine has bad color – pinch yourself. You’re probably dreaming. Then pinch one of your friends because they are also probably dreaming.

Smell:
– When Gary says sniffy sniff – obviously shout out the words with him, then throw out a weird scent he might say (such as “hot girl’s dorm room”). If he says it, you choose someone to take 5 drinks.
– Gary refers to the “taste” or “flavor” of the bouquet – 2 drinks

This is just the beginning, my short attention span is getting the best of me. A few general ones though to finish off:
– “Mott, link it up!” – link drinking arms with the closest person while taking a drink.
– For every shout out – shout “Mazel Tov!” and take a drink
– Gary mentions a wristband – Take 2 drinks. However, if you are wearing a WLTV wristband, you are safe and don’t have to drink (but still can).

So far my vote is for #1 but we need to give MarkF a chance. Link it up Mott.

I’ve never gotten jiggy with the gigo but I promise I will soon.

QOTD: Drink 3 (fieldgoal?) when a cork hits the camera. Gary swallows – finish the glass. Vaynerpazzz – drink the number of Z’s. Drink 1 every time Gary plays with his sleeves. Drink 1 to the health of each person receiving a shoutout.

That’s just a starter list. I watch during the afternoon usually though, so maybe a light game is better.

QOTD- Hard to play a good drinking game with good wine, but here is a drinking game nonetheless.

1. Sniffy sniff: drink 1
2. Mentions cat pee/fecal matter: drink 5 (if he says he likes it, finish glass)
3. Oak monster makes an appearance: drink 5 (if he embraces oak monster, drink 10)
4. “Mott link it up” or says “Mott”: drink 1
5. Mott comes on camera: drink 5
6. Mentions jets: drink 1 Mentions Kellen Clemens: drink 5 and laugh
7. Mentions pro wrestling: drink 1
8. PAZZ: drink 1
9. Major Pazz: drink 2
10. Major pazz then adds a corresponding number of Z’s “Pazz with 9 Zz’s”: drink the number of Zs
11. Fruit bomb reference “fakey” “skittles” etc: drink each corresponding reference
12. Doesn’t Spit: drink 3
13. Yells at lurkers: drink 3
14. Curses: Drink 1
15. Big ass glass: Drink 3
16. Spills: drink 5

thank you for ditching the Mic — much more real

fun stuff Gary!

Video #3 was my personal fave.

QOTD: every time Mott appears on camera, down a glass.

Everytime Gary has a random conversation in the middle of a diatribe with someone off camera (nott Mott) chug half a glass.

Great episode, GV!

Drinking game: I become intoxicated just listening to your voice.

And, #3 gets my vote.

I liked all three videos. I was sure #1 was a shoo-in to get my vote on Eagle jersey alone. The number #2 guy was good but I felt he needed to stretch things further. A parody needs to be more outrageous than the thing itâ??s poking fun at. It was gradual, #3 slowly started to win me over. It took the lead with â??the rabid donkey of my childhoodâ? and pulled away with â??the oak monster is singing to meâ?.

I vote for #3

when you went coldplay I thought you were going to compare to radiohead and I got really excited…then you went u2 oh well good band for the masses

Make mine #3….I think a swig at every vegetable reference and a full glass for every asparagus comment…

I vote #3. Very funny stuff.

thanks
good show. didn’t know about gigondas & now i do 🙂
liked yr explanation of the balance & structure of the fruit bomb 3rd wine
mjr
tokyo
japan

Agree, great show. I need to buy a Gig 3-Pack of tonight’s episode to compare our notes.

QOTD: I’m not into drinking contests unless you want to count drinking pitchers of beers in my younger days through a straw and the first one to finish was the champion!

On a more serious note, I would propose a “Super Bowl of Wines” contest where you have at least ten of the Top 10 Wine Spectator Wines for the past, say, 10 years and the questions are either 1) Super Bowl related or 2) WLTV Episodes, i.e. Who will crush the Patriots on Nov 2, 2008? or 2) Which episode did Gary start using the Jets bucket as his spitoon? The winner of each question gets to choose a “taste” from one of the Top 10 wines. Grand Prize winner gets to take home the bottle of their choice.

Cheers to Gigs!

JuiceLibrary is the winner – GO EAGLES!!!

#1

#3

OK – so video 2 was 6 minutes long and contained some witty remarks (not a great video, but good) and it has my vote.

I will go with # 3

I think I had a Gigondas two Super Bowls ago. Very, very nice.

QOD: #2. I would have given #3 the nod if he’d gone ahead with the total Boston-flavored Gary from the parallel universe.

I’ll put some thought into the game and get back.

Love the Gigondas. Always solid Rhone wines, although, you’re right…the prices are up, up, up.

#1 gets my vote since #2 got the intro incorrect. It’s not “universe most passionate” but “internet’s” and #3 didn’t have a snowball’s chance in Hades since I saw that punk Brady on a Patriots bucket! He’s kidding right?

They seem to have forgotten that the GIANTS WON THE SUPER BOWL!!!!! Link it up Mott!!!!!

Put me down for #1 … though the others were really good, too.

QOTD — Gary bounces the cork at the camera — no wine
Hits the Camera, double sip

#1 funny and orignal
#2 good overall parody
#3 nice spoof, esp the final third

Tough choice, but I’ll say #2 for my pick
