    Zoom, zoom, zoom. Extra padding at edge of video with nothing going on. Could you zoom in a little? More face, more wine = good times.

    Seriously, though, thanks for doing for us, I love it, and it helps me buy wine.

    Gary,

    I love the video blog and have watched all of them, but its seems like you were very excited when it first began and the excitement has somewhat slacked off recently. In the past 65 days, there have only been 11 episodes. Now, I know you were out of town, but there have still been some long gaps since you’ve been back. In the beginning, you were doing 4 or 5 episodes a week. What happened? Is it not working out like it used to? Not really complaining, in fact, much the opposite. I just would like to see more frequent episodes, like there were in the beginning. Thanks.

    Gary,

    I love your PodCasts and am a big fan! I listen to you talk about these great wines and deals but can’t get in on the action in Minnesota. I know the Minnesota laws have recently changed making it possible to buy wine through the internet and have them shipped. I don’t want to miss the big sale next week but as it stands now, I will. Can you help?

    Hi Gary…

    I’d love to see Mrs Susana Balbo from Argentina in the show sometime. She’s worth it.

    GaryGary,
    The wolves are at the door. As the character in Copolla’s (sp?) ‘The Conversation says, ‘If he had the chance he’d kill us all’. Mondavi, despite its great pedigree, is the death of wine. The wolves are at the door.

    New book on all of the “trials” and tribulations of the Mondavi family:
    “The House of Mondavi: The Rise and Fall of an American Wine Dynasty” (Gotham Books, $28), by Julia Flynn Siler, who writes for The Wall Street Journal from northern California.
    Interesting stuff. Let’s get this dud back on for comment!

    This was awesome! I love Robert’s (I *can* call him by his first name, right?) wine. I’m glad that they have managed to stay in the business one way or another.

    Drink from the Naval of your lover? – Best WLTV quote so far. Good episode – hey Gary do you think Spain is still a value region or do you think the wines have become monotone at the value price ranges?

    Nice to see Robert Mondavi Jr. on as a guest. Always happy to see as many episodes on Spanish wine as possible too. Great values coming out of there. Robert does come off as a total businessman, which always makes me a bit more skeptical about what I hear. If you could get a vin jaune winemaker from the Jura region on, and do a vin jaune tasting, that would be fabulous. A charbono tasting would be alot of fun to see also.
