    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.

    I came across WLTV via YouTube on a search for any info or shows on wine. I was previously listening to goodlibations.com radio show and found it to be…not what I was looking for. I started watching the show at around episode 70ish and have emailed a few times and you always respond. Boy, will I miss that interaction when you get to big to stay in contact with your fans.
    I’m so glad I found your show and I have been telling everyone about it. Keep going dude, You Rock!
    Much Success!!!!

    QOD: I believe I got to WLTV through the WL emails — had been on the WL email list for well over a year, and came to WLTV through that at the very beginning.

    Gary — Painful loss yesterday. I really can’t figure this team out. Truly a Jekyl and Hyde team. Looked GREAT against GB, at NE and looked like a 2-12 team against J’ville and yesterday against the Bills. Pathetic on both sides of the ball. Ugh. Need to win out now to have a shot…

    I think I saw your web ad on Vinography. Your geeky picture on the ad was so compelling… Good episode. The Leeuwin rieslings and chardonnays are awesome too.

    I’d have to say the first person who turned me on to WLTV was Ian Dorin the fantastic new world buyer for your store. I’d also like to add that not only does Gary answer all of your emails until 3-4am he also anwers his employees emails then too.

    It’s always interesting to watch your vidoes. Stuart L recommended your site to us and now it’s a favorite.
    I am always in search of the every day $10 red zin. Help!!

    I found Wine Library TV from the Pod Tech article about the Vloggies. (http://www.podtech.net/home/technology/1441/and-the-vloggies-winners-are). I am an American expat living in Milan, Italy and really like when you feature Italian wines. I find it hard to come by California, Australian, and to some degree French wines. I guess that makes sense, when you have Brunello, Barolo, Barbaresco, etc. grown in your backyard.

    OK. ‘05 Bordeaux. Noted for the next time I cross the border :-)

    P.S. That first to comment thing is really annoying.

    Wow over 100 comments!!

    QOD: Found your site when I was looking for an online retailer. I don’t remember if it was yahoo or google search engine. First show I watched was the Three Miners

    Geez, Gary, did someone say the Jets haven’t been in a Super Bowl since the Ford administration? Another dreamer, not that current. We both know it was the TrickyDicky admin., don’t we? Seems that the Jets and Nixon sort of go together. How lovely.

    Gary,
    I heard about this site from WOOT, and I’m glad I did. By the way, my Dolphins did their job and kicked the crap out of the Patties, but where were the Jets? They could have been a game off of the division lead, and they got beat by the Bills? I think it’s the curse of Fireman Fred. He is one dirty bastard.

    QOD:
    I came over from wine.woot.com. Since you did the monkey wine tasting I have been hooked into your show! I have started to watch the episodes from the 1st one this weekend. I have about 130 more to go! So i am about a week and half into the mix here with your show.

    gary have you done any Temecula, CA wines? I live 20 minutes north of the area in Corona, CA. I would like to know if you done any shows on those or matbe you can gear up for a show like that. There is a major growth in the temecula wines and more acceptance. But would like to get any suggestions on these wines. Thanks!

    Just found this website today via a google search for “wine”. I love it!! Can’t wait to catch up on all the old episodes! I graduated from culinary school in 04, and I’ve been looking for a way to add a little to my wine knowledge. Thanks Gary – looks like you and your staff are working hard.

    Great episode Gary!!

    QOD: I was turned onto this site from wineaccess.com.

    Gary, where did you get that Vayniac shirt????? All us Vayniacs want one.

    Never mind just tried to redo it and it does not allow it but I did get it for the price of 12, weird

    I have been lurking for a while and just bought a few bottles. Anyone notice 13 bottles is only 2 dollars more then 12 bottles for shipping. Made me buy an extra bottle. Thought the Wine library readers might like to know if you didn’t already.

    QOTD: Wall Street Journal. Keep up the good work, Gary. We appreciate all your efforts!

    I first saw the review you did of Woot Cellars. I’m not that big in to wine, but watching the archives has gotten me more interested, and the constant updates will keep me coming back.

    Hi Gary,

    I have received a late night e-mail from Gazza. (That’s Australian for Gary, by the way)

    I first heard of Wine Library via the Mark Squires’ board. I purchased from wine from them, and was so impressed I kept up with the website, and then one day, boom! there it was – WLTV.

    Old college buddy and routine pain-in-your-side /s/ Tim F /s/ broke your web site a while back…didn’t have the foresight to look-in then, but glad I eventually did. Good fun and learning a ton. BTW – he’s a HUGE GMen fan…

    I have been late night emailed by Gary VAY-NER-CHUCK on multiple occasions. Not sure how he has the energy for the shows after staying up all night. Get some sleep.

    I saw an ad for your blog in the new Wine Spectator and spent most of the night watching previous posts-awesome!
