    Gary, where was the Cigar????? I will fix that when I come up from Tampa to visit..hope you are a cigar lover. I have an OpusX with your name on it:) You have outdone yourself on this episode. One thing I don’t get, aren’t you 30 something?? Where did the Pat Benatar come from?? I am 43 and she ran when I was in my teens/early20’s. I remember when she was doing the club circuit, along with the Pretenders, Joanne Jet…ect. Heck I even saw some of those people right in Jersey clubs near you. In any case great episode there Gary…I LOVED IT!

    QOTD….just like you said in your closing statement….”having fun with wine”.. or something like that…lolol….I don’t think there is any wine I “HATE” or have gotten “MAD” about. Maybe some I am not found of but wine is much to much fun to hate.

    Today’s episode shows the store and Gary mentions his Dad. Below is a comment that I posted on yesterday’s episode and it talks about the store and Gary’s Dad as well. I wanted to make sure that people saw this post, so I posted again (apologies if you’ve read it already)

    WLTV Viewers,
    As Gary said, we met today. You can not believe how different Gary is from his “facade” on WLTV. He’s a poser. I came off the elevator and he was berating, borderline abusing, several employees. Then, when I was introduced, he waved me off and walked away. It was as if I was “NO SOUPED” (my 2nd “no soup for you” reference).

    Just kidding of course. Gary was as gracious and approachable as you all imagine he would be and it was great to finally meet him after many emails.
    Whomever has not had a chance to visit the store…YOU NEED TO. WL is an amazing store and I’m not just speaking about the esthetics. Usually, retailers are strong in some areas(great selection), but weak in others (poor customer service)….there is almost always some kind of trade-off. Not so at WL. Here are the attributes IMHO:
    -The store is beautiful
    -The climate controlled “Wine Room” is “off the charts” gorgeous–see Ep #4 for a Tour)
    -The selection is incredible
    -The service is truly remarkable-there are like 30 people on the floor..all with GREAT attitudes…all very helpful..and all with great knowledge.
    -AND, with all of this “VALUE ADD”, the prices are the BEST!!!

    I live 15 miles away, but will NEVER go to another store for wine.

    GARY, I congatulate you and your father on a remarkable achievement…you both deserve all your success!! (please forward this note to your Dad).

    Very nice intro and show. Dont remember the video but definitely the song. Heres a new twist: WLTV (like Happy Days) filmed in front of a live studio audience. I would make the 4 hour trip to see that. I should make it anyway because buying wines in PA sucks. The wine that I will never drink again which should come as no suprise due to past postings is chardonnay. Maybe Im one sided but what the hell.

    AMAZING! Gotta love the Soprano’s intro!

    Didn’t I see something like this once at a Jets game? All you need is that Jets fireman hat and you are all set.

    Good luck against Buffalo this weekend!
