line of the day – ‘Mott, your linking up and zooming in have been legendary’

Mott makes a rare appearance in front of the camera and although we love him, and we all do, he’s a bit of a distraction to me when tasting along with Gary. I just get the feeling that everything he says is what he thinks Gary wants to hear, and if Gary said a wine tasted of Baboon cr@P, he’d probably agree. Nice guy….but

    Gary, I don’t know if you’ve ever considered this…but I think there is a conflict of interest with you rating wines that you sell!!

  • I hope you put The Today show online… I have no TV.

    I had a recent Languadoc wine that was fantastic, and you guys used to sell it! Have you had the 2006 Les Obriers de La Pèira Coteaux du Languedoc Les Terrasses du Larzac? RP scored it 93 which usually tells me to stay away, but he was right on this one.

    Merry hoho day… Portland got 2 feet of snow and we have no plows. Buses aren’t running tomorrow and none of my family can get out of their homes (NW snow isn’t like NE snow, so quit calling us wusses!) so my family is actually canceling Christmas tomorrow! WTF! Can you do that? I said we should take cabs to my sister’s house, but nooooo…. they say we can get together this weekend when it melts. Bah… that’s not Christmas… So I get so spend Christmas alone! Lame… I think I’ll open a profound bottle of… something.

    QOTD, I didn’t get it.

    Loved this episode. I wasn’t watching for a while but this episode has hooked me back in. As always Gary, you brought massive THUNDER!!!

  • TimF

    Gary sells wine, seriously? Then how can he rate them? That would be like asking a used car salesman which is the best car on the lot. Geeze.

    Languedoc wines have always fascinated me, and I always get that same feeling you did. They seem so complex and interesting, that they go beyond what my palate can handle. Oh, but I so do love them!

    Great show! I didn’t know you were doing the Secret Pack; I haven’t been watching like I used to. I’ll have to go the the shop website to see if I can figure out how to order the next “secret pack” so I can join in on the fun!

  • THANK YOU GARY!

    Funny story, I recently got my dad into watching WLTV, and last night he mentioned the “mysterious Mott”, because he had never seen an episode with anything more than his hand seen on camera. Episode 600 delivers the true face of the man behind the camera!

    Great episode!

    Another great show. Always nice to see the Mottster on camera. He’s such a modest ham…

    ***** And SS Chris *****

    I’m not jumpin’ on you now. You just asked a questionne…If Gary weren’t a straight shooter it could be a conflict. BUT, I’m sure you know he’s also trashed wines he’s sold, and trashed wines with the wine makers sitting right in front of him.

    So geez, Christmas Eve’ let’s look at all the JOY Santa Gary Vee brings us all. Yes he’s selling a crap load of wine. Someone’s gonna do it.

    Can you think of anyone more deserving to be that someone?

    I can’t.

    Gary, this episode made me really happy!
    Love it when you throw Mott into the mix!
    He’s your only guest that isn’t afraid to disagree with you, and for that, I love these episodes!
    You’re always keepin’ it real man

    Mark Fitzpatrick,

    fyi, there is evidence that Gary looks at which wines provide the greatest profit margin to Wine Library……and then schills for those wines.
