Luca Bercelli

92/100

line of the day – ‘if this wine was 12-13 dollars I would cartwheel off this stage and start hugging everybody’

Monster performance from GV in front of a live audience. Handles a rowdy crowd and a dodgy sound system with great skill and is completely in his element. Phenomenal.

    Good guest, just picked up a subscription to his magazine online. Looks pretty innovative and for 10 bucks for 6 issues no big deal if its not.

  • Good solid show except for the fact it was a bit loud. Granted, the wine was flowing freely, but a little respect for the show goes a long way.

    QOTD: What else can I think of?!? “You stay classy San Diego.” The greatest quote from the greatest movie of all time, Anchorman.

  • GV good show but what is with all the “bad” wines you have been featuring lately. Is it because you don’t use wines that you have in the store? You are staring to sound like James Laube bashing Napa cabs. This is getting kind of tiresome.

    OMG San Diego SHUT UP!!!! Half of the audience seemed to be totally into it and having a good time. The other half were rude and inconsiderate. Maybe it was a big room near the front door.
    QOTD: Fun, sun, beach, zoo, sustainable development and good beer.

    Terrific, hilarious show. I could see that you got really pumped from the crowd. And, unlike some posters, I didn’t mind the background noise or visuals.

    Having been at the show, I felt like the crowd was behind you all the way; never rude, just enthusiastic and having fun while trying to get the next pour. Thanks for visiting; you were a blast to hang out with both during and after the show.

    QOTD: Home. It’s where I have lived for the last 20 years. Eat your heart out, Vaynernation!

    Do you list the wines before the show. I would like to grab a bottle so that I can follow along and tast it while the show is on.

  • San Diego means “Whale’s Vagina”. And the gaslight district.

    When are you coming to SF to do a live show. I’ll vouch for the locals up here that they won’t give you a hard time. I did like the shushing, though.

    please – just do your show yourself. Sometimes guests are good but it doesn’t make up for times like this.

    More double blind tastings.

  • Very fun episode, If you solve the crowd noise issue would be awesome.

    QOTD: oddly enough the first thing I thought of was Mexico and the then San Diego Zoo…

    You could be at a tasting with 20 people and are always a little group 2-3 people who blab blab blab. On one hand it’s great to engage in conversation about what your drink, but common. Turn your cellphone off and show some respect. With a group that size I can kind of understand…No I can’t shut up people.
