    Very true. She looks good in most of the movies she has been in
    through the wedding planner. Can't say I am a fan of her music or
    recent work in general.

  • ND

    This episode (QOTD had me LOLing) ends my lurkership. Love it!

    QOTD: best QOTD so far. Re: JLo, no comment!

  • stefankrafft

    This could only happen with Gary! A real maffia dinner and winetasting in a old Sinatra room in a restaurant. Almost to good to be truth.

  • nitaT

    fun show. Italian Pinot Grigio is where its at for sure. Im with you Gary… DRINK BUBBLES FOR ANY OCCASION OR BETTER YET NO OCCASION AT ALL..cheers! heres to celebrating life!

  • NIWineguy

    Enjoy the show, was more interested in the worm/ cold debate… over here in Ireland we have a really be problem with ppl over chilling their wine(4 c). I was always 9c-11c man myself but have recently been allowing them to warm up, to see the difference.
    BTW who are the Sopranos…JK
    QOTD: what….what ..honey no I don't look at other women butts…honey ..hun..damnit. That me on the Sofa tonight..Thanks

  • looper1313

    Hilarious. That seafood salad didn't stand a chance.
    GV, be real… the first one was not good. Us loyal viewers can tell by your expressions, that you didn't like that one.
    Also, did anyone count the number of winks that GV made to both the camera and to Mott. Might be a new record.
    QOTD: Great dumper on that J-LO

  • looper1313

    The RT vs. Chilled was probably the most wine geeky, interesting part of the whole episode!

  • ONUMello

    QOTD: Big enough to have an 8 figure insurance policy on it!

  • mattgmann

    soprano wines? sounds very house wives of New Jersey.

  • mattgmann

    dude, vincent pastore is a freaking steam shovel.

  • mattgmann

    now we're gonna throw in some restaurant advertising too?

    Sorry G, this is lame. I'm gonna go crack a bottle of Fraiser Crane Merlot and drop some names to people I don't know.

  • Thomas_DK

    QOTD: just the right size

  • mattgmann

    gv-“why did you make 2 pinot grigios?”
    mafia-“because we wanted to make more money”

  • Thomas_DK

    QOTD: Just the right size
    Not the greatest show, but sopranos was brilliant, so fair enough. Now get back to the blind-tastings:-)

  • laurieinvt

    Vinnie is a hoot!!! The wines are probably worth a try, if I remember correctly. 😉
    QOTD: Can't say that I've paid too much attention….

  • mattgmann

    2 parter….weak

    I'm not sure what the qotd is, but I'm cutting this episode short. See you guys next week…brown bags please…..or at least a non sales-pitch episode would be nice.

  • Allan

    The Italian Wine Episode! Loved the “homely” feel about it.

    Pussy is too cooool. And i adore Uncle Junior, he should have sat on the other side of The G-Meister. This was one of those all-time funny episodes, simple as that!!!

    Qotd: It's just right! Oh Yes!

  • Allan

    Two parter??? What??? Where???

  • Allan

    Mr. Grumpy strikes again.

  • Allan

    Agree here!

  • Allan

    GV's on a roll. If he can get guests as cool as this all the time, i'm all in.

  • Cubatobaco (Ray)

    This was a great episode! I am going to have to look for the Prosseco when I 'm in Jersey on the 10th.

    Mr. Pastore is awesome! Even though he was bumped off rather early in the show, he still is one of the iconic figures. I was sitting here laughing at his facial expressions when GV introduced the show and when he was spitting in the bucket. I did see him put his nose in the glass on the 2nd PG, but didn't wanted to give to vibe he liked the idea. I can't wait for the 2nd part. Dominic Chianese can sing his ass off!!!

    QOTD: Just right! ; )

  • Cubatobaco (Ray)

    Glad you joined in!!!

  • Allan

    “Baubles, bangles, hear how they jing, jinga-linga…..”

  • castello

    shbout time Lurker! Welcome to the brighter side!

  • Cubatobaco (Ray)

    GV, it looks like this one brought a lot of lurkers out of hiding!

  • Latour90

    Vinnie was a pisser, so funny.

    QOTD: When she sits around the house, she sits AROUND the house. (Thanx G.C. for that one)

  • Entertaining.

    QOTD: Too big

  • Danovick

    Where can I buy the Soprano Prosecco?

  • winecrazy

    WOW…No intro for Vinny huh…….uht oh!!!! FUHGEDDABOUDIT.COM

    So I guess I'm gonna have to try some Soprano Proseco.

    QOTD: J Lo's butt is so big…… ok, I won't even go there. It''s big!!!!!!

  • castello

    I put my email in your earlier post. Maybe stay at the NYC hotel where the party is?

  • winecrazy

    Homey,

    I need to get those guys some Fuhgeddaboudit.com hats and shirts. Let me know what size they need and I'll send them some. Email me that guys address.

  • amsgpwarrior

    Great episode. Seemed to shoot the straight and narrow when judging the wines which I respect. Surprised these “Brand Riders” products like the Sopranos Cigars by CAO and these new wines are bringing some decent quality.

    My prediction for the finals, will have the Celtics as the victors. Can't stand Kobe or the Lakers. I think he is probably the most dominant player since Jordan but has none of the class that Jordan had. I kind of think he is a pompous ass!!! Jordan was much more emotional and caused millions to really enjoy his passion for the game. Kobe looks as if he was beaten mercilessly before the game and forced against his will to perform in front of fans.

    The Dallas Cowboys are going to continue their rise to the top. I hope to be watching them this year playing at home for the Super Bowl.

    QOTD: J. Lo's ass is perfect. It fits her. So does Kim Kardashian's ass, it fits her. Both are ridiculously huge but both are very beautiful women with God given assets that I love. Just wish their personalities were better. That's why I would rather go for Kylie Minogues beautiful tushy!

  • Best episode I've seen so far!

  • amsgpwarrior

    Have had some Attems Pinot Grigio in the past that brought some thunder, especially from Pinot Grigio. I don't really even give much respect to pinot grigio unless someone really recommends one to me. After the Attems, I have never had one that matched it.

  • Cubatobaco (Ray)

    I've already been giving it some thought. Might have to do just that!

  • Cubatobaco (Ray)

    Janga lang, janga lang…..lol

  • Cubatobaco (Ray)

    I knew we had something in common…Go Cowboys!

    CAO did a great job with the cigars for The Sopranos. Albeit a little on the pricey side, I think the blend went over very well. If more companies used Brazilian Mata Fina wrappers, I think some would see larger sales in maduro lines all together.

  • amsgpwarrior

    Key names: Miles Austin and Dez Bryant

  • jenna35

    Definitely a very entertaining episode! I can imaging it being nerve-racking with so many people associated with the wine there. Patsy's definitely seemed like a resturant i'd like to try. As a Staten Islander, I love the reference! Too bad it wasn't room temperature from the beginning! Hoping to see this at WL soon! Looking forward to part duex!

  • castello

    Don't be a Kobe hater! Jordan was just as pompous but put on a better show for the endorsements. He's still selling crap to the masses.

  • castello

    Hopefully on Thursday with the other guys on the sides.

  • Kurtswa

    Cool episode GV. Nice job.
    Watching Vince go to town on that seafood salad was making me hungry.
    Will look for the Preseco to try. Being in Chicago, I should be able to find it.
    Agreed with you about bubbles. Underrated as a dinner drink.

  • One of the funniest episode of WineLibraryTV. In my humble opinion, of course. Thumbs up for Prosecco and JLo's butt. 😛

    *This has been the 875 episode that Rand has not been a guest on WineLibraryTV. I'm MelbaLI. Good night and good luck*

  • Scott Vann

    One of your best shows ever. Can't wait for part two.

    QOTD: Does J-Lo still exist. Haven't seen her in forever.

  • JayZee13

    I enjoyed this episode – very entertaining. As far as wine goes, I have to agree with you on Prosecco, but I am just not a fan of Pinot Grigio.

    QOTD: How the heck am I supposed to answer that question and not get into trouble? As far as I remember, J-Lo's caboose was pretty good. So I would have to say it was just right. I haven't seen her, um, behind lately.

  • cellarrat5

    I didn't see any…

  • cellarrat5

    damn, this is the most I have ever seen you post… slow day?

  • cellarrat5

    He was defiantly holding back more than usual. I can understand why though, didn?t want to get chopped up into little peaces. Vince looked and sounded like one of those guys who WAS/IS his character on the show.

  • Hurricane

    Gary, seriously, lay off the cold-hot crap… Normal folks drink wine to drink it, not to taste every g** da**ed detail!
