QOD: I download the show using FlashGet to my laptop. Then I watch it on my trainride home in the evening.

What were you tasting before coming on the air, Gary? Sugarfied? Batter cake? Wild hair?But these things only contribute to the wonderful, wacky atmosphere of WLTV. Thanks for your efforts.

QOTD: I usually watch the show on iTunes on the bus ride home from law school, late at night. Nothing makes one forget the horrors of the tax code like seeing a grown man eat dirt and get mad at a domestic bubbly.

This will be my last viewing for 2006 so thanks Gary for a great year. Way to finish with champagnes. I too am disappointed with the selection that we can get into the US. In Europe the selection is huge. New champanes I haven’t had are always good to see. I watch WLTV from the web site or iTunes. Definitely bed head to go with the beard. To get Beyonce out of your head think of Scott Ian from Anthrax while listening to scandanavian death metal. Works every time for me. What’s with the 80’s music references (except for Beyonce)? Are you stuck in the 80’s Gary?

Gary,
If the JETS go all the way AND win the Super Bowl, when will you shave?
I watch WLTV on my PC. I want one of those cool phones (like yours) where I can watch it anywhere and I can share it with other people right away. This way I can keep up with Yankee games every night as well during the season.

Brandon M. – Lovely comment and I Completely, Totally Agree! Thanks Gary for everything in the past year. Congrats on episode 150 (sorry I’m a day or two late). 150 WOW!! Happy Holidays to you, your family and the Vanernation!

I’ll join the forums on my next day off (after Christmas)- PROMISE – when I have a few hours to tool around out there. Been hectic..gotta run now as I am running late for work already! Woops! Do I get to tell everyone that WLTV made me late – I’m thinking there not buying it!

Gary…..what’s with the hair? You look like you just got off that comfy leather coach in the office, after a late afternoon nap? I LIKE IT, let loose. And I believe that’s the first time we’ve seen you sip before you sniffed! It’s nice to see you a little tipsy. That beard coming up will give you a definite air of sophistication? We’ll have to wait and see. Great episode, as usual….
QOD: Online, wltv.com, from work……..best part of my day.

Very nice A real Ed u macation!

QOD: I usually watch in the morning in lieu of the news. Hell, I learn more than what I would otherwise.

What do the numbers on the whiteboard mean? I thought I knew, but I was wrong. Someone enlighten me!

Thanks for all you do, Gary. I watch literally EVERY day at work through the website, and many times I’ll rewatch my favorite episodes when the new one hasn’t been posted yet. It’s a great way to spend some work time. Also, just thanks for the knowledge. I’ve learned a ton from you.

Peace,

B in the A (TL)

Awesome episode. Hey Gary you’re a pretty good guy, we really appreciate you taking an hour or two out of your day to do winelibrary TV. QOTD: I usually watch immediately after i receive the emails. ~Cheers~

The song that gets any other song out of your head, almost without fail, is ‘Electric Avenue,’ you know, “Walk down to Electric Avenue, and then you take it higher.” Sing it and the other song will be erased, or at least muted.

No Iron Horse? As you probably know, they make the best bubbly in the U.S. (they are at least in the running) … You should do a show on wines of the Green Valley …

Long time lurker, first time poster. Absolutely LOVE the show, and your unique, over-the-top commentary that makes wine tasting exciting and FUN! Just a note, though…”blanc de blanc” simply means “white from white” and although in France it typically means from Chardonnay, in the U.S. it does not. In fact, Sofia quite often doesn’t contain any Chardonnay at all (82% Pinot Blanc, 9% Sauvignon Blanc, 9% Muscat).

QOD answer:
I usually watch it on the website so I can click over to the wines while you’re talking about and tasting them. I watched one with my iPod on the subway, which was fun, except I didn’t like not being able to click around to read more about the wines and some dude was staring over my shoulder.
Cheers.

151? Aptly named. Make sure no one smokes around this episode.

I had a nice run-in with a Cava the other night actually … Cristalino Brut Rose, bubbles, strawberries, rocks and it’s five freakin’ bucks! Good times.

QOD: off the site, on the laptop, in the front room, along with a few extra cases that won’t fit in the fridge or the closet. Good company, I suppose.

one of my favorite episodes

Gary,
Rediculous…Beyonce? once you go black bottle? Beep load? Histerical. Ditto on the Korbel; no yeasty/brioche, just seltzer to me. Nice ep. I’d say a 94, greath length and complexity.

QOD: Sneakily, my gf hates it when I watch. Beats me. 🙂

QOD: Sneakily (on any computer I can find on campus), my gf hates it when I watch. Beats me. 🙂

E,
I tried the regular Cristalino, again like seltzer but with a bit of strawberry like acidity. Def. not 90pts.

This is a lot more fun when you don’t spit too much.

I don’t spit, either. Wine, that is.

Dude, you crack me up.

Tell Liz I said “Hi.” Both of them.

Nice episode. With the build-up, I thought you were about to pan our local Gruet, but then you rated it higher than I do. The Blanc de Noirs is the inexpensive Gruet I rated at 87.

I rated the Korbel at 81. I took the tour. They were good folks, very generous with the tasting, but I’m sorry, the wine just isn’t that good.

I can’t wait to try the Morlet. Thanks for the tips.

Awesome episode! QOD: I download it thru iTunes and onto my iPod. Then, most times, I dock my iPod and watch the episode on tv, most times in my bedroom, and sometimes on my 40″ LCD XBR Bravia in the living room. Sometimes I watch it at work, on my iPod. I watch 100% of all episodes; Concepcion watches the show about 70% of the times. I save every single download in a file named WLTV in an external hard drive.

Great huge episode Gary – I wonder what part you’ll get in the next Copolla film?

Veuve is one of my favourite grand Marques (Pol Roger and Billecart-Salmon are my absolute favs) – definately payed the club price for it several times – though about £60 in the UK!

Gary!!! Great episode. My favorite so far. QOD: I watch on my computer.

What the hell do the numbers mean!?!?
