89/100

lines of the day – ‘This is the first episode in wine library TV where Mott is wearing shorts’ and ‘So lacking in backbone…it’s a Jellyfish wine’

This episode was much better than the previous two NYC Week ones. The sound was better and the comments from the guests complemented GV’s’ Also a bit of Jets banter always helps!

    Can he invite a better informed mix of people? Some who know wine along with these people? I mean better fleshed out opinions (other than Gary’s) would make a better show.

  • DrEdwardo

    QOTD: 10 – and then he will be injured.

    Apparently as few people as there are who have drunk Aglianico, even fewer – including those in the industry (or brand-stretching self-promotion) – can pronounce it.

    It’s: ah-LYAH-nee-koe – i.e. there is no hard “g”.

    Mott: good job with the sound levels today. I could hear everybody.

    QOTD: He will throw 3 TD passes in the 1st game of the season. Upon attempting to throw his 4th of the game, he will be sacked along with breaking his arm and is out for the season. That will be the beginning of a series of injuries for the Jets, especially their quarterbacks and will end up like the Mets. In desperation, they will try to get Brett Favre from the Vikings….

    I couldn’t agree more with the Moscato wine. I had a different vintage at a tasting and it was excellent. I ordered some of the same vintage you served this evening and it was awful and way too sugarfied. Even a friend who has a sweet tooth and loves sugar said it was too over the top in the sugar department.

    QOTD: 27, except one will be stolen away by the refs.

    Gary,

    “gl” in Italian is pronounced “yli” so Aglianico is more like Al-yan-i-co than AG-lian-ico…not bustin’ chops just trying to be helpful.

    Im gonna seek out that Aglianco, only have had maybe 2 at the most and were kind of forgettable so i need to give it another shot. The Montalcino also sounds worth while. And I have had my share of ghetto water so i will skip the moscato.

    QOTD- Sanchez will throw 10 at the most cause he will choke just like he did in preseason. They call it rookie shakes/getting adjusted, I call it being a chump. Go Birds! I will be celebrating our preseason victory over you this time next week!
    Thanks Gary

    This turned into a really fun and funny show with special guest’s including Eric, shorts and Aglianico. Well done from mic handling (Mott) to impromptu sniffy sniffing.

    My only experience with Aglianico has been a ~$4 bottle from Trader Joe’s, which was just barely better than nothing. I suppose I’ll have to stick a crowbar in my wallet and try something better.

    QOTD: Since I hate football with a fiery passion, I have no opinion.

    I so totally agree about the bubbles!! Life is too short not to enjoy every bubble of life!!! I enjoy a bottle of the bubbles every Sunday morning with the one I love!!!! There is nothing better than that to begin your week!!

    I just had a good Dolcetto in about that same price point, so I’ll second the under $15 Italian wines.

    QOTD: 2 per game x 2 preseason + 16 regular season games + 1-2 postseason = I agree with your 40.

    I have to say, these episodes are great…its nice to hear the input from everyone else.

    Qotd: I’ll go with a conservative estimate and say 16, but I’m sure the Jets will do good. My only request is that the Jets don’t beat the Cowboys.

    Nice to see an aglianico in there, it’s an excellent varietal, and in the future may be able to steal some of the spotlight on Cab and Syrah.

    QOTD: Being from Argentina I have little clue as soccer is our thing, but what the hell, I’ll risk 36 touchdowns.

    Gary. . . very nice show. Love the Aglianico. Had it for the first time in a local restaurant and loved it.

    Guests were great too. Mott, nice job on the microphone. . . could finally hear the crew.

    QOTD: 26 (though with 15 INT’s).
