line of the day – ‘toasted baseball bat in my mouth’

Solid but short episode mainly notable for Mott not warming to the guest on yesterday’s episode. Nuts

    QOTD: I’m in the process of learning how to program a “digital frequency modulation” synthesizer from the 80’s. Super dorky. Also bought an Austrian Zwiegelt just because it’s nerdy.

  • I attempted to use the Buckingham-pi theorem to do a meaningful dimensional analysis of perception of wine quality, from an aesthetic perspective. Trying to identify dimensionless groups was probably just plain silly.

    Awesome show Gary!

  • Novel indeed – never heard of it.
    QOTD: nerdiest thing is likely the gajillion hours of research about planting grapes this far north.

    Great pour!!! I’ve heard of Domaine Serene’s Coeur Blanc (white wine from Pinot Noir) but haven’t tried it & its pricier. QOTD: My girlfriend.

    Great short episode. You should do more of these. Interesting wine as well. I also think that the link in the forums is a great idea. It got me here.

    Hey Gary,
    I met the next Gary Vaynerchuk on Monday at the US Open. The parking situation on Long Island was terrible, so this 13 yr old kid saw a business opportunity and rented out all the driveways in his neighborhood to the fans. Then he organized all the parents on the street to drive people to the course. The kid was a pure hustler and rumor has it, he pulled in over $3000 and lined up an internship over the summer. Not too bad for five days work. Maybe when your ready to hang it up in 20+ years you can look him up.

    GV, There you go again pouring wine out like a F-ing low life. This crap doesn’t work anymore. How about the lowly 55 comments you got. Remember the days when you received 1000 comments when this show had momentum. I have called you out before on this rediculous move. You shame the history of wine, built around culture, class and elegance. Everytime you pull this stunt your putting down the Wine world. This arogance will catch up to you. Really worked , 55 comments, da!. Take a note from your dad who was genuine and frugal with his $12 wine you featured on Father’s day. He is still humble. You my friend will fall from Grace. Back to shoveling pig crap!

    Good show…and it’s always exciting to see some Oregon wine love on the show…

    QOTD: unplugged my wine cooler because it was running too hot!

  • Pinot Noir Blanc sounds exciting… will look for one even though you almost dissed it, have to try for myself.

    QOTD: nerdiest thing I’ve done so far this year is hacking a Palm Lifedrive to see if I could change the operating system, it was a handful, couldn’t make it work properly.

    Good show.

  • QOTD: Re-read the Harry Potter series in preparation for the upcoming movie. Yeah, I’m a dork and proud (or nerd, or whatever).

    Nice Eduacational ep Gary,

    I have tasted a Pinot Noir Blanc out of the Yarra Valley here in Australia. Didn’t blow my socks off, good for the novelty though.

    QOTD….I got new glasses 3 weeks ago….they make me look a little nerdy

    Wazzuppp!!!!!!!

    Fun nerd show! I knew Pinot was made to be white wine at times. Never had one though…Maybe sometime, if I win the lottery.

    QOTD: I’m not a total nerd, but I like nerdy stuff: theoretical physics, teaching myself Deutsch, wine, classical music, etc…

    Yeah, I’m a nerd…

    Love nerds!

  • I can’t believe you wasted that much wine.

  • Interesting! I’d love to try this Pinot Noir Blanc.

    QOTD: I attended a themed blind tasting wine party called “Show Me Your Pinot.” Pretty nerdy. The next one is reportedly called “There’s No Riesling Not To Come.”

    Thanks Gary

    Damn I really like the single bottle nerd episodes. I like them so much, I’d actually like more geekdom with them. Even though the wine didn’t work out with your pal Gary, I’m gonna research them in the future.

    QOTD: after many years, my inner geek made me build a computer from the ground up…..never again.

  • Interesting review- we do pinot noir in all its guises-25 acres of the stuff in the Australian Alpine region-yep it snows-we have done a white pinot noir for a number of years-no oak-and let the fruit talk-keep it really dry and the stonefruits shine thru-mid palate is always big and the whole package has character. We sell it for around $20 Oz and it seems to go out the cellar door- I agree that $45 US is at the upper end for this experience. That said pinot noir does make a really nice white wine and I encourage drinkers to seek it out.

    Cool episode. I had only thought of Pinot Noir in that manner when dealing with champagne…
    QOTD: my worm composting bin. They are amazing and everyone should have one.

    Keep it nerdy!

  • Great show Gary, easy on that cologne though, may get some attention from the fuzz with that one 🙂

    QOTD: i spent 2 weeks on a single Empire Earth game. by the time i had finished my military had inflicted over 14K casualties. that is a lot.

  • A sad, sad day today. Two icons during the prime of my life passed today. I am crushed but thank goodness there’s an outlet that I enjoy every day no matter what happens and that is WLTV with my hero, Gary Vay-ner-chuk.

    I love the one fun show and can see myself nerding it up with this wine. I know their “red” pinot is very, very good.

    QOTD: I participated from beginning to “end game” in an internet strategy game called Travian, only to be defeated by a traitor.

    I raise my glass in honor of Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson. MJ’s performance of Billie Jean on Motown’s 25th Anniversary gives me goosebumps.
