Okay show but best bits were all GV going on about the Jets. Possibly longest Jets talk ever.

    YEAH CKC! Love it. Ian…well, Ian’s mom is more of a high roller than me. I did a euro trip this summer, but only went to one AMAZING place on Rue Cler. I only say that because I am jealous!

    Good work Ian, I love that you started your wine journey with gary, and you can deff. see it in the way you described and tasted the wine.

    GV, check this out!

    Just after Bad Ass Billy Gun and Cactus Jack fall off the ladder into the dumpster, you can see a small red/orange sign appear in the middle of the screen…around the 9.28 minute mark. Then, as they go back the wide view shot, the sign is in the top left hand corner and as it becomes more visible, you can clearly see ‘I love (heart) JETS’ and there is a very youthful Gary V checking himself out on the big screen!!!

    You owe me Gary! Next time you’re in Australia, you must do a Wine Library TV with my cousin and I. We are your biggest Australian fans and are opening a wine bar later this year!

    Deal???

    A week of seriou Thunder! Thanks GV!!!

    QOTH: “… but enough about me… what do YOU think about me?”

  • Anonymous

    Hey Gary, it’s Friday and we have had a great week of shows ( I know they were taped the same day, but I’m OK with that ) Today’s guest was great just like the rest of the week. I’m so glad you’re back. Now it’s time for serious football. QOTD: I’ve been married 17 years so I don’t remember any great pickup lines. But being married means you don’t need pickup lines. You get it when you want it (most of the time ).

    I haven’t tried to pick up anyone in 37 years. My pickup line in medical school in Mexico was to pretend to be local to pick up American tourist women. Worked more times than I thought it should have. Fun guest. I’m put off by Muga lately as they have seemed to americanize their wines. Priorats seem to have gone completely international with not much local terroir.

  • Great line up this week!

    QOTD: Hey girl, how do you like your eggs? fried or fertilized?

    QOTD: (Cracks hands)

    Me: How much does a polar bear weigh?

    The Target: I’m not sure.

    Me: Enough to break the ice,(Go in for handshake while signaling bartender) hi my name is Sam.

    Not one of my favorite shows… really enjoyed Mark as a guest; the show dragged on and on. Ian is definitely a wine aficionado but a little wet behind the ears. I don’t think anyone that is under 25 can really have a great appreciation and understanding on wine.

    QOTD: WTF? Pickup line? I’m watching wine library TV, not the New Jersey Shore.

  • Anonymous

    QOTD: This pick up line is not something I’ve just heard, it’s something I’ve actually witnessed, and believe it or not, it worked…..REPEATEDLY. This guy would walk into a bar/club and literally ask this to every single girl he saw.

    Without fail he would have at least one taker. After making introductions he would simply ask,
    “You wanna go half on a bastard?”

    Deep down, I think every man wishes he had the cajones to pull that off. I’ve only met one who ever did.

    Most of the people who try for the top ten usually do end up leaving decent comments. I suppose you could have a different definition of what is decent, but most of the top tenors are very regular posters.

    As for the old boys club, That is obvious. Gary is just drumming up support from his original base.

  • Anonymous

    I must admit I had my doubts about Ian in the first few minutes. I though he might just be another “hustler” that randomly got on the show. But I ended up liking his style for the most part. He reminds me of my beginnings at UCD, thinking it would be a good idea to take a few fermentation science classes and wine appreciation just for the hell of it. All in all a decent show.

    QOTD: I like this QOTD simply because it is mixing things up a little. That being said, I have nothing; if I knew any decent pick up lines I would not be single.

  • You don’t make a new show for 3 weeks and then you come back with a week full of guests. For shame gary V. come back to your glory days, when wine lib tv came first and not the doors it opened for you.

    CKC. Still in music school, though.
    QOTD: A friend tried this memorable one:

    “Hi my name is ( ). I have magical powers.

    *awkward pause

    Take your clothes off.”

    Sadly didn’t work, we were pulling for him. I guess there’s no amount of alcohol that can make you a jedi.

    “Mott’s much cooler than me….”

    Well we all knew that. 🙂

    This show was all over the shop. But enjoyable, that must be good right?

    Qotd: “You look tired, shall I hold your tits…”.

    Cheers & have a great weekend !!!

    P.S. Looking forward to being on the show myself Gary, shall we say ep#5000??? :0)

  • Randall

    What are you now? A weird hybrid of “Allan” and “Johnnie Walker”?
    😉

  • The couch made an appearance but I will reserve my vocal chords for later date. Great week of shows and good luck to the Jets.

    How about my Ducks!!!! Steam rolling St. Louis, looking to give Phoenix and Edmonton a hard time this weekend.

    Qotd: Got nothing. I thought I lived a privileged life, good for Ian. Keep eating dude.

  • Randall

    Apparently you haven’t tried the ’08 Soucie Vineyard Zin… And I am Pretty Darn Sure I said that he got that ‘old world effect’ with one of his CABS, not zins…
    But you’ll find out soon enough… :D!!

    Yeah, I am also fairly sure you were drunk by the time you left his place. HA! Check and mate!

  • Randall

    What?!? How DARE you, sir! We only had but 18 or 19 tastings… in Big Ass Glasses! We were all completely sober… even after we screamed and demanded that the driver pull over at Hoppy Brewing back in Sac for a last “taste”… or two…

    :D!!

  • bring’n in a guest on a friday and not using the couch, ouch!

    Mott, you forgot to link episode Episode #867 up! and messed up the editing, wrong clip!
    Ian is kind of a spoiled child, right 😉
    QOTD: Nerdy pick up lines, wow, that was a long time ago I made an ass of myself with those. So long that I can’t remember any.

  • Its not like the first time something out of the box got asked cmon get real. And what is this crap with under 25. You don’t know him, nor his pallet, nor the wines he might have drank.

    Iloved the last guest but this episode was a total yawn fest for me.Sorry but I gotta call it like I feel it.

  • Off topic, but I’m not getting how the new episodes make their way onto hulu plus (I like to watch it streamed onto my TV). I frequently see on this site that there’s 4-5 new episodes, but hulu plus shows the latest being the S. france whites episode. Does it really take hulu that much time to get these episodes ready for streaming?

  • Great show, I’m quite jealous of Ian as he has a ton of knowledge and experience in wine for a 21 year old. Really enjoyed it.

    QOTD: As a poker enthusiast, I always liked this one:
    If you were a poker hand, I’d move all-in.

  • Anonymous

    Gary.
    While it’s nothing personal against Ian, I seem to recall, that not long ago, you made a statement that you were going to get away from the guests for awile. Seems like you changed your mind, as this week has been nothing but.
    Please reconsider.
    QOTD- Pick up line? Need to take a pass, as I have been married to the same beautiful woman for over 45 years. Lucky me.
    Cheers.

    I started using ‘top whatever’ when I was having so much trouble logging on
    to Disqus. One day it showed that there were three comments when I started
    to log in and by the time it took mine I was the 37th. So, I’m not being
    blase, it’s just that I really don’t know what # I’ll be. Actually it cracks
    me up how eager many of us are to prove that we have no life except waiting
    for Gary to post 🙂

    A pick up line for guys named Doug: “Hey, my name’s Doug. That’s God backwards with a little bit of you wrapped up in it”.

    Thanks for the wine inspiration, guys!
