luca bercelli

93/100

lines of the day – when Mott looks at his watch off-camera ‘you gotta be somewhere Mott?’ and possibly my favourite line so far – ‘it gets a little like a pig farted, but you didn’t get swine flu’

Some of the comments GV gets are unbelievable (such as one of the ones he reads out here), like he’s getting too commercial and over-hyping his book. I guess jerks watch these shows along with the okay crowd. This is one of the most un-commercial shows on the internet and if you didn’t realise that – you’re stupid. Great show with some hilarious descriptions

    Great episode. Love Priorat. Where I live I get the Clos Galena for 25 BONES and their lower line Galena Galena for 17 so it isn’t too out there to treat myself. Might I say you CRUSHED IT calling out the cab in wine number 1.

    QOTD:Had to get your lettuce chopped for baby pictures! Tight.

  • Holy shit Gary you did call it… here’s what you said about Wine #1:

    Wine 1: Beets, candy nose, mocha coffee, good length, good minerality, dark chocolate, WHAT I WISH A CALIFORNIA CAB WOULD TASTE LIKE

    GREAT JOB MAN, IMPRESSIVE!

    The Blind Tasting Shows are the best. You need to do more of them! Set up some challenge for yourself like price the wine or region. You are really good at that stuff and it’s a fun show.

    Haircut good.

    GV–

    It’s almost sad–but perfectly understandable–to think that sometime soon you’ll be too big of a star and too busy with your family to read and respond to your e-mails. You’ve really made it to the big time and it wasn’t thanks to anything but genuine hard work. Most people only get to know “famous” people once they’re famous, but we got to know you before you shouted into the camera and had an onslaught of international followers. That should make you feel good. Thanks for everything; I’ll be watching til the end.

    Hair looks the same (sorry). Agree with Kelly below that I love this type of episode – a lot of focus and knowledge on a particular area or varietal beamed right from your brain to mine. Too bad these wines are out of my price range.

    Loved the blind tasting! Gotta try some Priorat now.

    Good hair.

    You are a busy man and have earned every bit of your success. I’m sure everyone would understand if you have to cut back to just a couple shows a week, at least we would all still get our thunder fix πŸ™‚ And hey I love the Flip cam episodes too.

    Crush IT!

    G.V. –

    Holy pig farts!! That was a fun show. Loved this episode on Priorat wines. Gotta get me some a’ that stuff.

    Hey, you mentioned [last episode] that you are drinking some $7 Portugese wines. How about some names? Solid $7 Portugese juice would bring some real thunder!

    I hope you will enjoy being a dad as much as I do. It’s awesome.

    Thanks for all you do for us Vayniacs.

    Greatest show ever! Yes, he read my rather long comment. AH HA!
    The hair doo looks like some of my younger buddies at the local bar. They’ve given up on barbers and do their own. Set it on 2 next time.
    Good luck with GV junior!

    Gary…
    I’ve been watching since around episode 200, and I just want to sincerely thank you for your dedication to this wonderful show. I think everyone should be more appreciative of what you do. You’ve been catching some flack from some viewers about your enthusiasm for your new book, and I think it’s totally undeserved. Again, my thanks to you for all of the time you’ve invested in WLTV. It’s very clear that it has little to do with promoting the wines and more to do with enlightening all of us about vino; the good, the bad, the overpriced, and of course… The wines that bring the thunder.

    QOTD: I like the hair, really short is good on you.

    Now you have to do another show with some big ass Cabs. Nice call. The OAK MONSTER will love you if you don’t show your fear. What kind of appelation/D.O.G or whatever lets them use whatever grapes they want? Awesome! Especially in Europe.
    I would only take a burgundy car to a POM carwash. Classic!

  • QOTD: You’re lookin’ good about now (it WAS wine #1).

    Hope Friday brings about a return to the laid-back couch.

    Hey, my new book, SMUSH IT!, may be coming out this fall. More deets later…

    Gary, you’re the best; don’t over-apologize for the positive changes in your life. Growth and change are essential.

    To paraphrase Woody Allen in “Annie Hall”: “Life is like a shark; it has to keep moving forward or it dies.”

  • In anticipation of tomorrow’s show with Maynard, please ask him to send me a signed pic of Milla. Saw her perform Puscifer’s The Mission. (Loved her in Joan of Arc.)

    GV, help me out here….

    Love the show. And love the Priorat wines. Though lately tend more to DO Montsant (which geographically is a prolongation of Priorat). As great wines as in Priorat, but not overpriced (at least not yet).
    Hope to see some of those in your show.

    For the hair – I’m more for the ‘longer’ style πŸ™‚
    Cheers,
    A

    No quiting this amazing show!

    I have been with you only a week but been watching archives quite a bit. I think your show would be lovely even if you had much much more marketing in it. Who cares, its a hard world.

    I live in Finland and my local Riedel shop salesman suggested your show and said u are totally crazy and hilarious. But I have to say hes a bit crazy too hugging customers and so on. I showed sake-episode to one of my friends and she said u and this salesman are like soulmates. πŸ˜€

    BIGUP from Finland.
