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.

    Wow I just watched the 3 video’s for the contest and I can’t vote for
    any of them. Of all your video contests this one by far had the weakest
    (non-funny) video’s.

    Gotta agree with SteveW on that one. I didn’t think any of them were particularly good. Funny parts in the first one, half-funny parts in the third; but nothing worth a free trip to France IMHO.

  • I’m making my drinking game just based on the mottster.
    sip every time gary says “Mott”
    sip ever time you can here Mott’s voice
    drink a glass every Mott gets to taste the wine
    start chugging the bottle when Mott is on camera

    Mott FTW!

    #2 – he nailed it. also, who doesn’t want free tix to the jets?

    QOTD – call game: DrinkGV or LogOff

    drink every time one of the following events occurs…

    EVENT / # of Drinks or Sips
    – Mott makes a face (which we’d depend on Gary) / 1
    – Mott speaks / 1
    – Mott tastes a wine / 1
    – Mott likes a wine / 3
    Every time Gary mentions the word:
    – Vayniaks / 1
    – coconut / 2 (if followed by “Pina Coloda” 2 more)
    – eucalyptus / 2
    – fruit bomb / 1
    – banana / 2
    – poop / 2
    – Yellow Tail / 1
    – Jets / 1
    – ‘reference to his book’ or tour / 1
    Each time Gary:
    – does not wear a t-shirt / 1 (once per show)
    – does not spit a wine out / 1 (each time he does not do it)
    – ranks a wine 98 plus points or below 50 points

    could come up with more…but you get the idea!
