luca bercelli

93/100

line of the day – ‘Big blackberry flavours exploding on my nose like a grenade’

Barnstorming episode featuring GV at his best. When he goes on about the nuances of different vintages his knowldege is scary. The visible wince when trying the last wine is classic Gary, and sticking the wooden box on his chair as an Oak Monster substitute made me laugh. A classic.

  • QOTD: Episode #107

    My little baby girl at a tiny 3 years old.
    Now she’s six and probably wouldn’t do any opening for me again.

    Gary…let’s put her on an opening again with her now 3 year old brother! 🙂

    Thanks for all the great memories Gary! I’ll never forget your L.A. trip where we all basically got kicked out of that wine bar in West Hollywood and then you, my wife and I went to Greenblatts and bought a ton of wine and went to that Hotel and had a blast with all the Vayniacs! Cheers!

    sorry to see the relatively poor showing of wines.

    QOTD: 636 when I got a birthday shout-out and #55 or 57 or something when you really took over your show and told it like it is.

    Congratulations on 700, I loved the set up (just you and some wine) and I can’t wait for episodes 800, 900, 1000, 1100, 1200, etc. Keep it up!!

    wooo hooo, happy 700! kick ass!

    ive been all over the place, but ive been hitting the archive and catching up, but had to leave a comment for this.

    whats the deal with the forums?

    ut oh, sounds like that bucket is kicking the bucket …

    qotd; well obviously it was the first one … some where in the mid-200s? idk really, but you were all like “HELLO EVERYBODY WELCOME TO …” and I was all like “YIKES! F**K this guy” and turned it off. Then later I watched the whole thing and concluded you reminded me of my college roommate … good stuff.

    keep having fun, love to the fam …

    I would have to say my favorite episodes are the ones with you and your dad. I love the “conversations” between you two.

    Forgive me Gary for I have sinned. I have been watching, nay, lurking for two years now and on this momentous occasion you deserve a comment from the dr.

    I personally thought it was a great way to end the episode, you in your explosive nature bringing some thunder down on the oak monster. I would have it no other way. As we embark on the next 300(ooh fun movie) episodes together I pledge my allegiance, ok sorry once I started thinking about 300 I can’t stop, to you and your need for comments. Thank you Mr. Vaynerchuk!

    My favorite episode may be the first episode I happened to watch. You were sick, really feeling awful, but you carried on nonetheless. It told me this guy is truly dedicated to his viewers. Good luck on the next 300!

    I really liked the episodes where you went to people’s cellars…like wine porn.

    My favorite quote of all time (no idea what episode) was something to the extent of “so take your noise makers and all your hoopla and all that out of here because we are smoking pipes and reading dictionaries tonight.” in reference to an old world wine, and the good old days when you would tell new world or old world fans to “leave the room.”
