line of the day – ‘let’s call a spade a spade, this wine is boring…this wine is a boring ass wine’

Always love it when GV rips into a wine he doesn’t like and there’s no holding back here. The attack monster is back in the hissie!

  • Hahaha… Picnic Bird Chardonnay…. classic. Good episode!

    Haven’t seen a lot of films I was really enthusiastic about lately. Milk was probably the last really inspirational movie I’ve seen.

    Gary, it’s been a long time man, since I’ve commented on WLTV, although I have been in touch on FB. Huge “ups” on the birth of your beautiful little girl, Misha Ava (very pretty name)!

    I have not had a 7 dollar bottle of wine all year, but the Simone truly brought “thunder”! I ordered 2 more bottles today.

    QOTD: Old school: My Cousin Vinny & Clerks
    New releases: Taken, Vantage Point, all 3 Pirates of Carribean.

    Thanks for the time you still give so generously. All my best wishes to you, Liz, & the newest Vayniac, Misha! God bless you all, Mike

  • QOTD: James Bond: Quantum of Solace. I am really enjoying Daniel Craig as James Bond, way way way better than Pierce Brosnan IMO. Pretty funny about that Cali chard, I am going to have to go grab a bottle and tear it up on cellartracker.

    Fun Show, now im craving Chilean Sauv Blanc!

    QOTD= Last Chance Harvey….good movie about life and the people around you.

    Synopsis:
    New Yorker Harvey Shine is on the verge of losing his dead-end job as a jingle writer. Warned by his boss that he has just one more chance to deliver, Harvey goes to London for a weekend to attend his daughter’s wedding but promises to be back on Monday morning to make an important meeting–or else. Harvey arrives in London only to learn his daughter has chosen to have her stepfather walk her down the aisle instead of him. Doing his best to hide his devastation, he leaves the wedding before the reception in hopes of getting to the airport on time, but misses his plane anyway. When he calls his boss to explain, he is fired on the spot. Drowning his sorrows at the airport bar, Harvey strikes up a conversation with Kate, a slightly prickly, 40-something employee of the Office of National Statistics. Kate, whose life is limited to work, the occasional humiliating blind date and endless phone calls from her smothering mother, is touched by Harvey, who finds himself energized by her intelligence and compassion. The growing connection between the pair inspires both as they unexpectedly transform one another’s lives.

    I tried the Nobilio Icon a few weeks ago after reading 92 WS and 85 WE. It tasted to me like I pulled my not-so-ripe green pepper plant out of the garden and noshed.

    QOTD: Probably not what Gary is looking for but maybe Lizzie would enjoy: La Belle et la Bete. French Beauty and the Beast film from 1946. Exquisite. From Netflix: Tokyo Joe with Humphrey Bogart. He finds out he’s a father of a little six year old girl and it changes his life.

    Good show, great to have you back GV.
    QOTD: The only movies I’ve seen lately have been Star Wars films. My 5 yr old son loves watching Darth Vader and beating me up with his red Light Saber. Priceless!

    Gary great to see you back in the saddle along with Mott.Hope little Mischa is thriving, I am sure she is with such loving caring parents.

    re QOTD-The “Band of brothers” DVD. Very poignant and well acted, with Tom HAnks as director. Watch it with my 16yo old son. Thank God we live in peace.

    Good show GV – must be good to be back in the saddle, but I see a lack of shows?

    TOTD – probably not going to waste my money on the wine.

    QOTD – Taken – Liam Neeson in a bad-ass role.
