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

    SS Chris, who doesn’t love a good quiz?

    Why is MOTT such a Yellow Dog Democrat?

    a) Because Republicants had 8 years to get it right, and couldn’t have gotten it more wrong.
    b) BEFORE George Bush, zero Americans beheaded abroad. AFTER George Bush, er, not so much…
    c) BEFORE George Bush, national debt at roughly 5.7 trillion bucks. AFTER George Bush over 10 trillion.
    d) Gary Vaynerchuck is a Democrat (although I’m guessing not a yellow dawg, more like burgundy hound)
    e) All of the Above.

    Okay Gary…you finally got me to stop lurking on iTunes on this one. Great show, perhaps sometime next year I’ll finally get to enjoy a secret pack with you. Keep up the good work. Especially Mott! Laters.

    QOTD: What to my wondering palate should appear, but Gary and Mott and the secret pack of the year. Every wine was very good. The Puech-Haut was as delicious a wine as I’ve ever had. You learn so much sniffing and whorling with Gary. Happy 600!

  • dan

    No secret pack – why can’t you ship to WA state?

    We had a Paul Hobbs Argentinean Cab tonight, Felino I think. Great value but a bit simple overall although it is more old world than new which I like.

    Please send some of your rain to Seattle, we have had enough snow for the next 20 years this week.

    Thank you Gary!
    I’ve been pouring wines for all sorts of friends and until then strangers, and have to get some of these to share with soon. Btw, Mirabelle Rose is showing spectacular now for a decent value. And the Merry Edwards Sauv Blanc 07 is spectacular, perhaps the best California Sauv Blanc I’ve ever had for a very fair value (although it’s hard to find).
    Happy Holidays

    Thanks and congrats on 600 shows Gary! I didn’t buy the secret pack, but enjoyed the episode anyway. How about a “not so secret pack” where you tell us what the wines will be and then we decide if we want to buy and taste along with you? Just a thought….

    Happy holidays!

    WOW, 600 episodes, Congrats. When I’m not digging you, I’m twittering you, or I’m just hanging on Facebook or MySpace watching your every move. I can’t be too connected to you Gary. All right, I’ll say it, I’m naming my first born after you, seriously. Scratch that, I’m naming my first, second and third born after you, who cares if there are a few girls thrown in there, they can live with being called Gary. I love wine, I love this show and I hope to see you all on the ThunderCruise.

    And SS, you’re just angry that you were fired and replaced by Gary Scores. Quit your whining and just accept the fact that he bring so much more pleasure to Gary than you do.

    Gonna try and help you get to 600 comments. Liked watching it even though I didn’t get the secret pack. I’m the only one here that even drinks wine. 🙁 However, I did set my DVR to record your Today Show appearance. I don’t have kids at home anymore, they’ll be over later in the day, so I’m NOT getting up in the morning… Merry Christmas to Gary, everyone else at Wine Lib and all the Vayniacs!!

    Gary–Mazel Tov on 600 shows. Nice seeing Mott in front of the camera. QOTD: I didn’t enjoy the secret pack at all. Oh, wait…the State of Washington wouldn’t let me order it 🙁 If you’re going to do a New Years resolution show, let that be the first one–work to abolish all interstate shipping laws discriminating against wine.
