Smells like someone pooped in my glass


One man’s poop is another man’s pleasure. Or is the saying, One man’s junk is another man’s treasure?

Whatever the saying is, you really (yes, I’m talking to you!) must watch this episode by Gary Vaynerchuk of Wine Library TV guy fame. If you’ve never seen one of Gary’s wine videos, you’re in for a treat. It lasts approximately 30 minutes but it’s worth the investment to watch Gary double-blind taste six different wines from the US that aren’t known for making great wines. He uses the aromas of items from everyday life to describe wines when he “sniffy sniffs” them. That’s Gary’s term to smell wine and just one of the many hilarious terms he uses in his episodes. My favorite quote, and there are lots of them, from this video is when Gary pours one of the wines he's blind tasting into a glass and says, "It smells like someone pooped in my glass." Second favorite quote from Gary when he smells another one of the wines and he says, "This smells like a garbage truck, on fire." No wonder Gary's videos have become so very popular.
