90/100

lines of the day – ‘This wine is one thing and that thing is suck ass’ and ‘you all have that friend who brings nothing charismatic to the table’

This episode gets 90 points for the set alone but shame about the wines which were all disappointing. GV on form though

    Q1: Groundhog Day and/or Life Aquatic
    Q2: Angelina Jolie or, at least, her on a wine label dressed as a peasant girl
    crushing grapes in a vat. (I can dream, can’t I?)
    Q3: The guy I would like to meet and converse with is Tom Hanks.
    The woman would be, oddly enough, Madeleine Albright. I know, but that
    woman knows a pile.
    Other than that, I don’t follow celebrities closely.
    Except Mott!

    I think this was one of the better, off site/in-front of a live audience(sans television), shows you have done.

    Don’t listen to all those haters.

    I didn’t like this episode. Maybe because I don’t like popmusic.
    Not enough value.

    QOTD. My favorite celeb: Anna Netrebko
    And yes, if she made a wine that would be top notch, as her singing.

    Star I’d love to see make a wine: Paul Giamatti. A) He was in Sideways B) He’s such a character I think he’s make a vino with a lot of twists and turns

    AotD 2: Pamela Anderson (Way Over-Oaked Cali Cab available in HUGE Jugs)
    AotD 3: Mott! (No, Seriously)

    I liked this show …. (even tho the sound was a little off and the wines almost sucked and the guests weren’t that great and the background was annoying and the comments were full of haters).
    A couple of mushrooms and everything looked and sounded fine!!!

    I give you props for trying to bring some excitement to the show today Gary-V. But you were sitting between 2 duds today. With the bright pink background you think these guys would have some life in ’em. But they both looked like they were about to get colonoscopies.

    QOTD:
    1) The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou ? ?Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go on an overnight drunk, and in 10 days I’m going to set out to find the shark that ate my friend and destroy it.”
    2) I’d like to see Daniel Day-Lewis make a wine. That guy is no nonsense and all about perfecting his art.
    3) Jack White

    1) What About Bob, Groundhog Day, or Ghostbusters – hard to choose.

    2) I have no idea… how about Peter Jackson’s NZ Pinot Noir? That guy pays attention to all the details…

    3) Counting athletes – Mariano Rivera

    Haven’t had too many celebrity wines, although, I did visit Andretti on a trip to Napa. The wines were meh. Watch for a certain NFL QB who’s putting his name on a WA wine. Looks promising.

    QOTD: 1) Caddyshack, Stripes, Groundhog Day, Lost in Translation, Rushmore, and Royal Tennenbaums.

    QOTD: 2) Arnold Swarzeneger (sp) – Would like to see someone in politics experience what the people who get their hands dirty go thru from every aspect of the business.

    QOTD: 3) Too many to name. Some that come to mind: Sean Penn, Glenn Close, Johnny Depp, DeNiro (classic…not the new crap), Gandolfini.

    QOTD: Favorite Bill Murray Movie–Groundhog Day (Life Aquatic close 2nd)
    I don’t really have an interest in celebrity wines…I’d rather give my money to someone who has seriously dedicated themselves to producing quality wines and not someone who has the money to put their name on some product to sell.
    Favorite Celeb: Might actually be Bill Murray. Kevin Spacey is cool too.

  • Gary, awesome show once again, its too bad the whites didn’t show up and the reds weren’t that spectacular either. I was expecting Lil Jon to make a sparkling, maybe in a few more years once his chardonnay starts to develop.

    QOTD

    1. My favourite Bill Murray movie is a toss up between Caddyshack and Ghostbusteres a close third is Lost in Translation, simply beautiful.
    2. I would like to see Larry David make wine, he is a funny dude and I would love to see him make a really nerdy riesling.
    3. My favourite celeb is definitely the mottster. Female wise it is definitely Julia Roberts. JAM!

  • QOTD1 – Caddyshack. Groundhog Day was also a great movie. But Caddyshack all the way.

    QOTD2 – Celebrities should stick to what they do best – testifying before Congress about very important topics that they have had the chance to act about in movies. Their expertise is critical at this junction.

    QOTD3 – I hear that Jason Statham is a genuinely nice person
