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

    QOTD. You and I have been forced to share the same haircut style, though I’m a bit more advanced in the process of loosing it. 😉

    Love the blind tastings. Keep them coming.

    Don’t listen to the critics. We know under the “entrepreneur” skin the REAL Gary is still very much alive. Crush it!!!

    Unbelievable. To call that Pasanau cab-like, and then find out that it is 80% cab. These are the subtleties of your genius that go unnoticed and unrecognized. The next time my wife says, are you watching that idiot again? I will point to instances like this one to prove her wrong. (Direct Quote, not trying to bash, she is not a Veyniak like the rest of us)
    By the way, we just had a daughter 4 months ago. Get ready my friend because life as you know it will never be the same. You may find your hair even shorter as you start to pull some of it out trying to calm the new baby!!!!
    By the way, boy or girl?????

    Descriptions of wines #3 and #4 were classic GV! Nobody else can get away with comparing a wine to a cookie cutter graduation speech and then come back with the “pomegranete carwash” and “pig fart” comments. Love it.

    QOTD: Whatever.

  • Hey no one confuse me with the K-Man who thinks Gary has jumped the shark lately-

    I think Gary is just the same phony wine salesman he was in episode 1-LOL

    I love you Oprah,

  • Noticed the corks are on the table, isn’t that somewhat cheating? I have yet to see a cork without the winery name on it.

    Ok, have to ask….just how do you know what a pig fart smells like? Maybe we DON’T want to know on second thought….

    QOTD: Uhh didn’t notice; you look the same as you always do.

    Really liked today’s show. Back to the old WLTV blind tasting format and focused on one wine style.

    Been watching WLTV since 07 – and would like you to keep it alive maybe once or twice a week. WLTV is part of the reason for your popularity and now tight schedule. Don’t quit on it, but keep it going at a more modest pace. I look forward to shows like you did today.

    I hope the show survives the birth of your child. If it doesn’t you should consider passing on the show to someone else whom you think has your passion and love of wine.

  • coth in MKE

    QOTD: Forget the hair, that shirt needs to go. At least don’t wear it on WLTV. The lines were too fine for the camera and they were doing a sort of dance the whole time. Very distracting.

  • Waiting for the phone to ring on camera. By the way it was wine #1. Great catch on the cabernet. Have had the Vega Escal, and my rating was only 86 so we don’t quite agree on that one. Want to get the number 1 and 2. Even at $40 for Priorat they aren’t bad in price. Looks to me like the hair is getting a little less with each cut. Before too long you will have my haircut.

    Hi Gary, I watch all of your shows at the end of the week (friday) with a glass in my hand! (I’m now drinking a Staete Landt Chardonnay Marlborough 2006; made by a Dutch (!) couple in New Zealand). Great shows! Keep up the good work. Greetings from the Netherlands (Europe), Ben

    Gary – You gotta lose the striped shirt…looks terrible on video (like a bad tie worn by sports announcers). Getting that psychedelic look… Otherwise, GREAT show.

    Great show from my second favorite region (I’ve been loving me some Toro lately). Keep pumping the content as long as you can, even if the e-mails have to fall by the wayside. You bring value, fun, and Thunder.

    Keep the blind tastings coming.

    QOYD (Yesterday): No mic, unless you’re in front of an audience.
    QOTD: Whatev on the hair.

    Congratulations on Baby V…

  • ex-lurkdawg

    Thanks for the great show. I like Priorat but the price usually keeps me away. There are usually other wines I’d rather spend $40-$50 on. I noticed that in the beginning of the show you said only a little Cabernet Sauvignon could be used which is not true (one of the wines you tasted was 80% cab sauv). Maybe if you become too busy to do so many shows you can scale it back to once or twice a week. If not, I understand.
