lines of the day – ‘Mott:’I root for the Jets the same way you root for the Giants’..GV – ‘so you hate them’ and one of the best lines of all time, ‘this show all week is going to be almost unwatchable to anyone who can’t deal with Jets talk’

Phenomenal show – I always love the ones where GV is pumped by recent Jets victories and his mood is through the roof for this one

    Sorry Gary,
    The Jets are going down compliments of the Colts. By the way, F.T.Q.O.T.D. I agree with the guy on the left, Zep is the best there ever was.

    Red beer sounds ridicules and the Jets are winning the Superbowl..

    Suggestion for WLTV: Add a user rating (1-5 star) AND user review for each wine (like AMAZON or Youtube). This way we can see how others in the general population liked a wine – and can read about it (if they choose to make a written review instead of just clicking a star level).

    Suggestion for CINDY: Make prior offerings available so we can continue to read what people posted. I know that was not the intent, but I don't get on for every offering. That said, I have a few people whose palates I respect and the more I read from them…the better prepared I become.

    How can anyone like Rush???? To me they sound like a bunch of insects on speed, must be those vocals ugh!

  • jasonmoore1113

    gary you can substitute clamato for the tomato juice aswell… must be a mid-west coast thing 🙂

  • trent rezner is a musical genius and no he didint throwin the towel hes working all the time. music is his vocabulary his vision his air.

  • Qotd#1: There are few bands making good music nowadays in my opinion. Radiohead is my favorite band from the last 15 years…

  • DPnCali

    Gary, I am brand new to WLTV, having caught a few short vids on you tube, and I love your style mixed with your knowledge of wines. I also love your passion for your football team. Although I live in California now, I am originally from Indiana and the Colts are my team and I am sorry man, but the Jets aren't coming out of that game victorious my friend. Colts win 27-10 and it will be a Colts/Vikings Superbowl. Hate to hurt your heart like that being brand new and all to WLTV, but it had to be done. I will certainly be returning to this website on a daily basis. Glad I found you.

    Lead Belly is the most obvious tie back from Nirvana to traditional music (Kurt’s version of “Where did you sleep last night?” introduced a whole generation to old school blues). Their covers of the Pixies, David Bowie and others also indicate an awareness that playing rock and roll is taking part in a history and a tradition of music (Zep is in there too, of course). The end product might not have sounded a lot like blues or folk, but roots music is the framework on which it is built (on these lines, Unplugged in New York is a revelation). Great music is never simply a copy, but innovation needs a solid foundation.

    you’d think with all that money they could hire a lawyer, right?

    That’s just painful…..

    By far my favorite episode. Still laughing.

    Lock them away somewhere, or at least until they make it into the Hall of Fame. I cant believe people are hating on Getty?s vocals, there are so many high pitched vocalists out there. But if they sing about social change and political issues they are somehow unbearable. But you got axle rose and AC/DC, as long as they sing about sex drugs and rock and roll they can sing as high as they want??! THAT is bull**it!!

    I am never sober when I play poker. Come to think of it, that explains a lot! But I can never not drink when I play, ushually I drink scotch or beer. Perhaps if i drank wine I would consume much more moderatly and win more often!

  • I’ve got your Chargers back, Cabdrinker… we can cry on each others’ shoulders or something… apparently the choke-itis wasn’t a Marty problem, it’s a Chargers problem…

  • That’s a fantastic question

  • Anonymous

    haha thanks. however there seems to be no answer

  • Phredd3

    Great episode guys. Nice. I can't believe I missed by a field goal. Stupid Seahawks.

    Lots of questions:
    1. Should you do a month of shows on sparklers? No.
    2. Ratio of sparklers to other wines? 200+:1. I have a sparkling wine once a year. Maybe twice in an outrageous year. Hence, answer 1.
    3. Are people still making good music? Sure. People are always making good music. You just have to find what you like. And people still do great performances of old music, too. I play in a community orchestra, myself. I like to think we're making good music.
    4. Best thing I've ever won in a game of chance? Top this: I won two tickets, the soundtrack, and a movie poster for the movie Amadeus from our local classical radio station back when I was in college. Tenth caller wins kind of deal, and I got lucky. A week or so later, my friend gets me the number of this great girl, and I call her and ask her out. I know she likes classical music, so I ask her to come to see Amadeus with me. She says no, she's already seen it and although she really liked the movie, she doesn't want me to pay for her to see it again since we're both poor college students (back in the dark ages, guys still paid on the first date). No problem, I said, I just won the tickets, it won't cost me a thing, and you'll get to see a movie you like again for free. Well, she says, OK then, I'll come.

    That was the first date I ever had with my wife. We're now in year 24 of our marriage, and the poster hangs in our living room. True story.

  • Nope, If they win the price goes up and Gary need to make more money to buy them 😀

    Empty your cookies.

    And do an unsubscribe to the episodes you posted to. There should be an unsubscribe link on the emails. It’s a pain! Hope they fix this and some other major problems. They said they would, but I guess they are busy these next couple of weeks with the playoffs.

    I like the old format for speed and ease. This one freezes up on page clicks. And I hate comment thread replies! Can get long and messy.

  • peaceloveandpinstripes

    I probably drink 2 or 3 bottles of sparkling wine for every bottle of white primarily prossecco and cava with the occasional champagne mixed in.

    There is some good music out there today no real favorites

    I won my first bicycle in a newspaper rafle and rode it till i was like 17 greatest bike ever schwinn predetor.

    I will reiteriate vikings 24 jets 17 in the super bowl

  • Phredd3

    I seem to recall that same line of thinking last week about the Chargers. I'm just sayin'….

  • cellarrat5

    insects lack the dexterity to play instruments.

  • cellarrat5

    Clos Du Val, in my humble opinion, is severely over rated. I was there a couple weeks ago, and was not that impressed with what they had to offer. I did go to five wineries the day before, so perhaps my palate was a little fatigued. However, I did not try anything that jumped out of the glass and surprised me. I managed to get an industry tasting out of them so I tried all their library stuff as well, way to over priced in my opinion.

  • cellarrat5

    Pearl Jam is almost classic now, Green Day? not so much… 10-13 years ago you couldent turn around without seeing them on MTV (when the fu**ing channel still plaied music), they have had thier day.

  • Anonymous

    clamato has clam juice in it as well, btw, so its not just the tomato juice you are tasting

  • b_gizzy

    Clamato and beer is very common drink in the Canadian prairies. It's often drank as a hangover cure or in the sun. Maybe the salt helps. We call it a “red-eye”.

  • JayZee13

    Dude! You are so DEAD! You just impliedthat the Jets winning the Super Bowl would be better than your wedding day! Doh! Lizzie is going to be thrilled (not). 😉

    QOTD1: I grew up in the 70s so I love a lot of that music. But some people are still making good music today. Different, but good.

    QOTD2: Hmmm. I once had a good afternoon at the “Let It Ride” table at what was then the Aladdin casino in Vegas that enabled me to buy dinner and great wine at three different meals for my wife and I in Vegas. That was pretty cool.

  • abrams7

    The band Tool is the shit ,but I love all music from hard rock to classic.

  • abrams7

    Sparkling wine is not something I drink very much of ,but I drink lots of off the wall wines.
    Here lately I tend to drink more reds then anything,but different varitals.
    Merlot is still one of my all time favorites ,and the drier it gets the better.

  • I'm like the guys on the show – maybe 2-3 sparkling wines a year out of maybe 100 regular wines a year. And almost always to celebrate an occasion, not just for wine interest.

    QsOTD: I do think good music is still being made. I am glad to live in the Dave Matthews era, for instance.

    The best thing I've ever won by chance… haven't won a ton of random things actually. I won the 2nd pick in our fantasy NBA draft; I've enjoyed Chris Paul quite a bit. (The Hallmark answer is I'm extremely lucky to have been born to a great family in the United States, let alone in San Diego, CA which is the greatest place on earth. Despite our atrocious playoff loss.)

    Gary, the “Thanx Nate” sign was hurtful. I'm hurt.

    I've changed my Disqus icon to wipe away the SD shame and move on to my new sports focus for the year, a Lakers repeat.

  • Totally agree, Tool is a band that makes this music period pretty damn good

  • PS – I'm as stunned by “red beer” as GV was

  • Gary has Cork'd for the user reviews of wines; but, in my opinion, GV hasn't done a good enough job integrating Cork'd and WLTV at this point

  • abrams7

    In regardless of what everybody else drinks I like all kinds of wines. Not just grapes ,but out of
    all of the wines I have had there are only a few different kinds I think are even worth
    talking about. Those two are without a doubt strawberry and some apple. Don't get me wrong a love grape verital wines the best ,but I have some stawberry wine that was probably one of the best wines I have ever had in my life ,and it was about 10 years old
    It was extremly smooth and dry not at all sweet.

  • YoungDave

    Great to see some lucky fans on the show- way to keep your word (as if you wouldn't…)

    QOTD 1: Yes there is still good music being made, examples: Jay Nash, Sara Bareilles, Nation Beat, Fanfarlo, Beirut…
    QOTD 2: I recently was offered a large some of money over the internet from a banker in Nigeria! All I have to do is give all of my bank account info so that this banker can wire me the funds- simple! I think I'm going to do it…

  • vinoreviews

    Would love to see an entire month of sparkling wine shows especially shows featuring top domestic sparklers and moderately priced champagnes.

  • Where did you find those strawberry wines?

  • abrams7

    I know I guy that owns A winery ,and he makes this stawberry on the side. He want sell any of it,but if you know him well he will get you some from his private seller.

  • abrams7

    The stawberry was suprisingly very complex. I first thought it would be nothing I would really like ,but it proved me wrong. Truly after drinking it I thought that just maybe there
    was a place for stawberry in the wine world. I don't see how someone that likes wine would not like it.

  • Phil G

    QOTD1 – Yes, people are still making good music. Think about great music from the 1960s or 1970s… some of it is still really popular, but not all of it. Probably the best 10-20%. Well there is some great music being made in the last 20 years. Of all the modern music, though, maybe only 10-20% will last. I can't stop listening to new CDs from established groups like Pearl Jam or Green Day – as well as newer groups like Muse. The challenge is sifting through the clutter and noise to find the timless stuff.

  • flavasauce

    LOL! I dunno, with all those appendages I would think they'd be really good at the math rock. 🙂

  • abrams7

    I 'll give that so called “red beer” a try at least one time. I mean it can't be that bad.
