90/100

lines of the day – ‘This is the worst blind tasting show ever’ and ‘All of these wines should be on your ‘do not drink’ list’

I love the shows where GV pans the wines and he sure as hell lays into these

    That’s what you get for not hitting the couch on what definitely should have been a laid back Friday!

    QOTD 1: Of course you were incredible on the radio as we all knew you would be. Well played sir!

    QOTD 2: A buck three eighty.

  • pschotts

    Man, rough show. Hope it picks up a bit next week – maybe the couch would help?! Missed the show last night as I had to work, but I’m hoping to catch the recorded sesh if possible.

  • Wilwrk4pez

    Gary, why do you always use the next wine to rinse your glass rather than using water? Seems like a waste of wine–of course, not so much for today’s VDP swill.

    That has to set a record for the low combined scores of any episode in WLTV history! Take heart Gary there’s nowhere to go but up 🙂

  • Qotd 1: No, I did not get in soon enough to listen. SHAME ON ME! I did pick up a kitten in Tulsa though.

    QOTD 2: Right, this is what happens when you steer away from the Italian plays on Friday. The last two weeks (that there was a show), both Fridays ended with a bang. Monument wines and even some from Napa, like the Togni Cab. Have a great weekend Vayniacs! I know I will.

  • NY Pete

    if these wines suck … why did you guys bring them into the store in the first place?

  • Joseph Jacks

    agree with ya there, NY Pete… been lurkin for a long time and had to come out to back you up

    The best applesauce is SAFEWAY Gravenstein Applesauce. Good mouthfeel, nice acidity, great flavor profile, made from dry farmed apples in Sonoma. Mott’s is runny and sickingly sweet. You east coasters need to learn a thing or two about applesauce. End of rant. Have a nice day.

    Start with Lois Martini cab from Sonoma or Napa.

    Listened to the 1st hour last night. Energetic, well-paced show. Great job. I enjoyed it. I had a slight feeling you were going to have to use the “dump” button with a few of those callers though. Luckily you didn’t have to edit anyone and kept the show moving along.

    The wines may suck but the show never does. Sorry I couldn’t listen last night Gary but I was asleep long before 10:00. And since I canceled XM a couple weeks ago, I gotta figure something out by next Thursday.

    Sirius doesn’t work and I gave them all my info, emailed them(replied with a bad edress!) tried again today. Stinking ugly for me. I googled a player download and all I got was a cheap wine stench!
    QOTD What’s worse Sirius or disqus?

  • Chris

    thanks castello!

  • the radio show was entertaining i do say, but i only got to hear the first 25 minutes as i was sitting in my mothers car (the only place i have sirius). ill def tune in next week though, maybe ill get that free trial.

    GV – Tough show, but hey its gotta happen sometime!

    QOTD: I didn’t get a chance to listen to it! Will soon though…

  • Just Jack

    Because there is no accounting for taste and someone may want to move up from Yellow Tail but still keep that wonderful fake wine flavor. You have to sell the consumer what they want even if it makes you want to throw up in your mouth a little..

  • Anonymous

    As you always say GV, you didn’t make them. Maybe KMurph should be tasting them first. I actually managed to listen last night but not during the broadcast as I was out at the time. Sounded great.

    QOTD — nope

    re: the show — I don’t know if you lurk through the forums these days, but you sure shot my contention that decent French wine can be found for under $10 all to hell!

    wow, that just happened.

  • WineWoman

    Good Question.

  • Watched it, sounded like you’d been doing it for years. Overall, super solid performance – 9/10. BTW, called in like 15 times to a busy signal. Hopefully you broke the phones.

    I tuned in last night on XM. I like the energy, most of the calls and the answers. nice format. You are always fantastic. I think like WLTV you’ll evolve to something even more revolutionary. I really don’t have any questions to call in for now. Maybe i’ll call in the last minute so you can do the hello and good bye thing. that was very funny.

  • No I think it can, this just didnt work!

  • Mike means a lot, u back next week?

  • thank u so so much!
