    One of my favorite Australian cabs that I am absolutely hooked on is Jim Barry The Cover Drive 2004. It’s the bomb, and it’s between 15-20 US dollars depending on where you get it from. That is, if you can find it. Go get yourself a bottle ASAP!!

    Hey Gary,
    Nobody referred me to WL or WLTV. I found WL during the early days of the internet when using wine-search.com. WL prices are great and received a couple shipments before I realized WL is on my way home from work.

    I don’t comment much but have watch every episode. I usually catch up on the weekends. Keep up the great job and keep keeping it fresh!!!

    I found winelibrary tv via rocketboom about a month ago or so…?. I’ve been enjoying it even though I live in Denmark and most of the wines seem to not be very available here.
    Keep up the good work

    QOTD: The guy who got me hooked and referred me is named Dorey Welch…you rotten bastard. You can’t imagine how much $ you’ve cost me in wine. But seriously, I thank him for introing me to this great site!

    How did I find WLTV??

    Google … I had a bottle of CJ Cab out at dinner and loved it, so I did a Google search and found you Picked up three bottles … Hooked every since … We Jets fans need to stick together … how great is it looking forward to Sundays in December, even if they were flat yesterday …

    No-one referred me. I discovered it while hunting the internet for a specific wine. I got referred over to the WL site, and the rest is history. I think it was around epsiode 30 or so. Think I’ve seen them all since then. A great break from work every afternoon.

    Former Luker here!

    I Have become hooked on Wine Library TV!!! I discovered it recently through Wine Lover’s Page (http://www.wineloverspage.com/) and now eagerly await every episode! You should make your videos available as a Video Podcast!!!! I will definitely drop by the shop next time I’m in New York.

    P.S. Thank you for all your hard work! I agree with Tony S. that you should let go of the spitting on fridays! Thank you for setting the good example though!

    Long time lurker second time commenter. Thanks for tasting the 2000 Leeuwin Artist Series Cabernet Sauvignon. I’ve been a huge fan of the Leeuwin Art Series cabs since i first tried the 98 vintage. QOD ~ I don’t remember who, i just remember getting your WLTV emails and thinking it’s about time someone did this. Gary thanks for everything you do. Cheers ~ Jtk ~

    I don’t think we’re getting an episode today. That Jets loss yesterday really crushed Gary. Maybe he has some reserve episodes to show when situations like this prevent him from filming the day-of.

    Boyd P referred and I’ve been hooked like a crack head since, keep up the good work Gary!

    Hey Gary…

    It’s noon Monday…so, I’m sure you’re getting ready for today’s episode. But, I just wanted to answer the QOD: My friend Danny showed me your site….I forget when, but it was somewhere around episode 50 or so. I’ve been addicted since.

    I like the laid back Friday episodes. I don’t think you should spit on the Friday ones though. But that’s me, I don’t ever spit unless I’m at a tasting with more than 10 wines. I don’t like getting drunk (which is why I’ll spit at a large tasting), but I think spitting ruins the full effect of the finish. Like I said, I’ll spit when there’s a bunch of wine to taste cause I really want to taste them and not feel them and get back to work or home, but c’mon…2-4 tastes?? Especially on a Friday…relax…you work hard enough! Leave the spit bucket for the people who just started getting into wine.

    See you later, sorry about your Jets. It’s probably my fault, I picked the Bills in my office pool. Go BEARS!!!

    Found your site via the Woot offering….someone posted in the forums there a link to your tasting of the woot wine and I’ve been hooked on your daily shows ever since. Here’s a request for your Wine Library site though: PLEASE SHIP TO MICHIGAN! :) Keep up the great shows and as a sort of wine newbie I am learning quite a bit from you and others on the forum here.

    Been watching since the feature on front page of the Wall Street Journal. I agree with some other posters, you are destined for a much bigger stage. Books, TV shows, movies–the life and times of Gary Vaynerchuk! HUGE! I will miss the email returns, but when you have millions of emails each day–and you will—you will be overwhelmed–in a good way! For those of you who haven’t met Gary in person, he is personable, funny, friendly, a genuinely sweet guy. Just wandering around his store he was easily approachable and really cute! Keep up the good work……..Joyce

    Hey Gary,

    I have been coming to your store since it was the little building with the very small cramped parking lot. I always liked the way your guys carried my wine to my car without even asking if I needed help. Great service all around! Since I am a longtime customer, I heard about WLTV through the WL website and have been loving it ever since :)

    i spend WAY too much money at WL, so i discovered WLTV during one of my frequent “shopping” trips. It is a lot of fun — and if you need any further reinforcement of Gary’s point that taste is personal, look at his hilarious, and very descriptive, terms he uses for taste and bouquet! I am not sure there is ANY resource that includes “carnival urinal” (used in an earlier episode) as a descriptor for a wine’s mid-palate! i love to watch this show as it reflects my sensibilities - wine is supposed to be fun to drink and prices should reflect the experience not the brand. Thanks, Gary.
