   Good episode. Will try to pick up some Penley. On the Leeuwin, why did you not mention Parkers 89 score (which both you and Tanzer disagree with)? Just curious.

   Thanks for the continued hard work, GV. You do answer e-mails. Don’t know if I ever got any “after hours”. I was a WL customer before WLTV. A business associate from the Philly area heard about the store (don’t remember how) and told me to check it out for him since I was close by. The rest is history as they say. And yes, the NY Jets play in New Jersey. That’s your second slip up recently. Come on! No more third person references and no more saying the Jets play in NY. (insert smiley emoticon here….)

   Great Friday episode. QOD – Reading the forums on WS in late July, early August, one of the forumites mentioned your site and I had to check it out. Been a daily staple for me ever since. Don’t miss a one. Thank you, Gary.

   Gary- WOW nice Friday episode. Funny, I am having an ‘02 Aussie Cab- Kangarilla Road. Really good, off the market now, but I have a few more in the cellar. I agree about the aussie cabs, a great variety of styles at good prices.

   QOD- I was already a WL customer and started watching. Best wine blog by far.

   Have a great weekend!

   Gary-

   love the laid back episodes. They are much-deserved.

   Your philosophy reminds me alot of John and Dottie’s from WSJ.

   QOD: I saw the huge billboard on 78. I checked out the website, and was amazed by the prices and selection. i clicked onto the tv tab and there were 25 episodes of WLTV up. The first vlog i watched was GV panning the Frog’s Leap zinfandel and i have been hooked since.

   Hi Gary,

   I don’t usually take time to leave comments, but you guilted me into it Great episode as always. I actually found wine library cause people were talking about it on another forum and saying good things. I found WLTV when someone posted a link to your episode on how a wine glass effects wine not long ago. Great episode BTW! I started watching the other episodes (still not caught up) and appreciate your honest tasting notes. I think you are doing a great job.

   Gary,

   Pittsburgh styles steaks rock the friggin house down. Burnt like hell on the outside and still kicking on the inside. By the way, my high school played Curtis Martins high school in the playoffs his senior year. My school won something like 41-0 and Martin was totally shut down. As a big Pitt fan I’m glad he went on to have a great (HOF???) NFL career. I found this place searching for wine through winezap.

   BTW, was that an official Vaniac schwag that you were wearing?!?!?!?

   Gary,
   You rock. . .I’ve been lurking fot a week or so.

   If the Jets win the superbowl, that would be a bittersweet experience for me. I hate the Jets with passion, but would be happy for you!

   QOD: Link from WS forums

    The huge billboard on 78 referred me. I have passed it I don’t know how many times coming back from EWR. I finally Goggled WineLibrary.

    I have missed a few episodes. It’s good to see you relaxed again. You look like your batteries are recharged. Nice work.

    QOTD: I was ordering from WL before there was a WLTV. I loved the selection and price, although always wondered why I should care that “our director of operations rates this a screaming value”. Who cares? Of course, that was before I knew ye, GV.

    And I just looked at My Account, and saw my first order was in April of ‘05. And more importantly, that was exactly 15 orders ago. Oh well, I guess all the kids don’t need to go to college.

    QOD: google as well. Geez Gary- you are quite adept at guilting us lurkers out of the woodwork.

    Gary emailed me about the Packers after midnight, he might be a witch.

    Learned of WLTV from WL…..

    WOW! This was as good a show as you’ve done. Nice job. Maybe you could think of just drinking on Fridays instead of spitting. For me, it just sorta goes w/ the day.
    QOD: I got the tip from a guy on another wine forum. A good regular kinda guy. I forget who though. It was somewhere in the middle of July.

    Found the site last year through wine-searcher looking for the 2003 Domaine Tempier. Getting any 04 in?

    Just a lurker out here in lawrence Ks saying what’s up everybody?- from Jayhawk country. Saw an ad in the wed. New York Times about a month ago and have been hooked ever since. Awesome work gary! Respec! I have been spreading the word amongst my fellow Jayhawks daily. Still trying to figure out if you really ship to Kansas. Keep it up my brother!

    Trust your own palate. Great advice. The best advice.
    But how to nudge that along with a more general wine education for the consumer? Perhaps you could explore specific appelations, from Finger Lakes Rieslings to New Mexico Cabs; From Idaho whatever’s to Washington St. Syrahs; From Michigan Sylvaners, if such exist, on to Arizona bubbly. Perhaps go on location. Might be strange, even awful at times, but you belong on a national stage. It’s only a matter of time.

    Just 45 minutes…referral came from a Google search I did to learn about cabernet sauvignon, which I had been focusing my wine making efforts upon. WL came up and in reading about one of the wines, I caught the video link when reading about the Twenty Rows Cabernet Sauvignon. So, i guess I referred myself.

    My boss recommended this site. I bit figuring I could score some brownie points and found a gold mine instead. My wine IQ has gone up, my wallet is lighter (but not as light as it would have been buying somewhere else where I have seen consistently higher prices) and my palette is happy. Thank you and hope it’s Cowboys – Jets in the Superbowl. Anyway Justin ‘03 Cab is out of this world.

    Gary, thanks for answering my wine website question with an abundance of suggestions (nice music to accompany them too). You’ll always be #1 by far, but thought I’d get a feel for what else is out there too.

    QOD: I had signed up for the WL mailing list (don’t know how I heard of it, I live in Cali and don’t order much online, but anyways) and I got the email blast about the first episode. As a young wine drinker (22), this embrace of modern technology really appealed to me, as it seemed no one was doing it at the time. No one is really doing it worth a damn besides you even now. I checked out that first episode, and have watched every single one since. Hopefully your example prompts some other folks to step into the 21st century!
