90/100

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

  • 600th on Christmas, you couldn’t do it better… Everything best to ‘Chuk, Matt and Families…

    QOTD: Haven’t ordered Christmas Pack 🙁 but one related curiosity. As preparing to watch this episode, for some (precognition?) reason I was thinking about adding to my comment on the episode (precognition already starting as I knew I’ll leave a comment today!) a question about what would ‘Chuk consider a good Languerdoc to try… What a deja-vu at the end… Trusting WLTV taste, I’ll be trying this one, definitely.

    ?????? ????? !

    Great show GV and of course to the Motster. Congrats on 600 and Merry Christmas to you and every one at Wine Lib. Sure you’ll have no problem getting to 600 comments especially when lurkers like me come from iTunes to leave a one.

  • happy 600th! When I found out this episode was going to be a secret pack episode I was a little disappointed because I didn’t get a secret pack so it’s not really as fun, but this episode was GREAT! Mott sat down with us and tasted some wine.

    great job guys, lots of love, happy holidays

    Gary, great show. I really enjoyed your description of the last wine – although I’m not currently receiving the secret pack, I feel like I got the experience of the wine through your eyes. And I’ll definitely go pick it up at the store next time I’m there. Happy Holidays to you, your family, and all of the other vayniacs out there.

    I came up with my own QOTD because I’m not a secret pack receiver: Best drinking quote?

    Great 600th show.
    Living in Denmark (Scandinavia) you make me look for the Saouth Africa Sauvignon Blanc – and also the red Languedoc sounded great – I want to taste it.

    Merry xmas – and a happy new year – looking forward to your shows in 2009 already !

    Happy Chanukah Gary. Didn’t get the secret pack but wanted to wish you, Lizzie, AJ, Sasha, and the entire Vaynerchuk clan a happy and healthy holiday.

    Congrats on 600…just think, only 400 to go for 1,000 episodes….how awesome would that be?

    Idea for guests in 2009: Robert Parker (shocked you haven’t scored this one yet), Steven Tanzer, and maybe Kevin Zraly?
