    WLTV, of course! No brainer.
    Thanks for the WOOT introduction. I will definitely check it out. $5.00 flat rate shipping??
    Good,bad and ugly. Great movie theme. That could be used to describe the forum posts, eh?

    crap, two of my links don’t work

    lemme try this again:

    wikia.com
    drbukk.com

    following my own advice, I just headed over to wikia.com and found the Family Guy Wiki. :D

    Another favorite: the onion. I know I should probably stop listing links, but it’s so hard to choose a single favorite.

    BTW, thanks for introducing me to humanclock.com, Matthew L!

    Wow, that was quite an episode! What got you so jazzed-up?

    QOD: It goes w/o saying that I love WLTV, but I’d like to mention Gmail because it’s a huge improvement on all the other email sites I’ve seen or used. I’m often shocked when I encounter people who are still using Hotmail or Yahoo or, gawd forbid, Aol. Also, worldcat.org is worthy of mention. It’s the world’s largest index of libraries, and is an invaluable research tool. Other than that, it’s easy to spend hours at wikia.com, not to mention Wikipedia.

    Here’s another site: drbukk.com. It’s not web2.0, but it’s very amusing. Who wouldn’t benefit from a pair of hideous fake teeth?

    There is a serious break between forum users and show commenters these days…cmon commenters and lurkers…get on the dang forum allready.

    Great episode Gary! I’m a Wine.Woot customer from the beginning (not all wines are available for sale in NJ, ugh) I’ve bought many of the offerings on the site and been pleased with the quality of each one. The $5 flat shipping rate is unbelievable (you can buy a case and it’s still $5!). As far as Web 2.0 and have to include WLTV, Woot and AllMusic among my favs. Keep up the great work!

    Another site that is similiar to WOOT, but instead offers one-wine-per-day ’til sold out is called Wines ‘Til Sold Out (www.winestilsoldout.com). The prices are incredible and shipping is free with an average order of $80.

    I love this note for orders on the Woot site: If you’re drunk when the package shows up, you will not be allowed to receive it. Durn.

    QOTD – web 2.0: corkd.com (check out my wine “journal”, “cellar”, and “wishlist” – http://www.corkd.com/people/nasv) – I really think that site is awesome and I wish more people would use it and populate it’s database! WLTV is also a recent discovery for me but I’m browsing it every day since I found it! Also, have you seen flikr.com – great idea! Also del.icio.us.

    I liked that you re-emphasized the purpose of the blog and I have recommended your vblog to all my friends and family! Great episode, thanks!

    Gary,

    I miss how you used to spend some time showing questions that viewers asked you about wine, and you answering them. It was my favorite part of the show. First you made it entertaining. Secondly, it was very educational – great learning for all not just the questioner. And thirdly it made for a more compelling read of the comments section because when you devoted some time to answer good questions, it motivated posters to be more active, curious, and interesting in their posts. Can you bring it back to the show? If not every show, devote one day a week to reading and answering good smart questions?

    Web 2.0? Gary, you’re Web 3.0! I’ve been Wooting for 2+ years, yet have only scored once on a Woot off and no Bags Of Cabernets yet. As far as Web 3.0, you’re at the top. And when you go to woot.com, be sure to listen to Matthewmatic’s songs – they’re a hoot! Here’s today’s: http://www.woot.com/Files/20061130-COGT39.mp3

    Good show. I’ve been to the terroir blog a few times, but I see that it has changed its appearance.

    Bring it on Gary. Have you seen any of the videos on the Wine Spectator website? I think that everybody there has a stick in their ass. Keep up the good work.

    Yeah, I’ll have to second what E-Rock just said.. love the big glass. If it’s red, Concepción and I use the big glass also most of the time. It rocks in every sense.

    Gary- Drown a smurf…great stuff! The wine sounds good, but no more shipping here in the upper midwest unless there is warm spell.

    Try pegging left-handed at the camera. Let’s see what you’ve got!
