   QOTD: I have learned so much about wine in the past year. I’ve gotten out of the California rut and am branching out learning about French wines, Italian wines, Spanish wines, etc. Now have a closet full of wine and am contemplating the big wine fridge purchase (requisite for hardcore.) I found out there’s a lot of wine nuts out there, in my local wine store, at winetastings, and here on wonderful WineLibraryTV! I enjoy the witty comments on this blog and Gary’s wonderfully funny, sometimes satirical sendup of the wine world. No, I know you’re serious about it, but often you seem very tongue-in-cheek and I love it! Gary, I predict an eventual career for you somewhere in the entertainment industry. Remember us Vayniak fans when you hit the big time. Congrats on the one-year anniversary.

   QOTD.. I didn’t have a wine collection…and I had no guidance in my wine purchases. Gary, You are my Yoda!!!

   Great to be part of the Vayniac family!
   QOD Although I’ve been into wine for 15 years, I’ve learned alot about certain wine areas that I hadn’t experienced-like Cahors and Bourgeil, plus I’ve learned lots of new ways to describe wines such as “Urinal from a carnival” or tasting my ballglove in right field
   Enjoy the rest of the stay in Lomdon

   G,
   Happy Anniversary!
   You are making history!!!!!
   Love the enthusiasm, honesty and love you bring to the web.
   You should be very proud of what you have done in one year.
   As a bit of friendly feedback from a buddy of mine in the “industry”.
   Please get a wind guard on the mic when you film outdoors.
   It costs like $.75…….

   QOTD: My pallet has changed unbelievably, your descriptions and wine selections have been a part of that….

   Peace out…and have some Wagamamas for me……

   Congrats to all on the one year anniversary!

   QOTD: Tow new wine experiences: (1) I finally buckled under and bought 2005 Bordeaux futures (from WL, of course) and (2) I tried Cahors for the first time.

   Thanks for the fun, the learning, and the energy!

   Congratulations Gary! Definitely try to find a “free house” with a good hand pump and locally brewed ale.

   QOTD: I’ve learned to trust my nose and palate a lot more than ratings. Also, to get serious and buy some half-decent stemware and a decanter (thank you Riedel and Target!).

   Congrats on one year!!! Thanks for th T-Shirt deal! I now drink wine from countries like Spain, Chile and Argentina that I would have never thought about before.

    Congrats!! And thank you!! My wine experience has improved by leaps and bounds since first discovering the show. I can actually have an intelligent conversation about varietals and terroir. For this I thank you and the entire WLTV community. (as i raise my glass) To many more years of WLTV!!! Cheers!!!

    QOTD- In the last year I ventured past the reds into the whites. It’s nice to make that jump because my possibilities are now doubled. In addition, this year I’d say my wine knowledge has probably quadrupled. Thanks GV and the WLTV cru. Happy 1st. -MTL

    Absolutely awesome episode. I’ve really enjoyed the program over the past few months – - I found it through Google, while I was trying to figure out some information about how to decant wine. Since getting the straight info from you on that, I have learned so much about wine. You might piss off the distributors and the wineries, but from a consumer standpoint, I get the feeling that you’re telling the truth when you praise a wine – - particularly because of your unceremonious way of panning the bad ones. Your enthusiasm and personality really show through, and I appreciate the dedication and hard work of you and the rest of the crew that makes this show happen.

    QOTD: I don’t feel embarrassed anymore to roll up into a wine store and ask for anything I’m looking for – - if the director of Ops at Wine Library pronounces things how he wants to, then damnit, so can I! As long as the right bottle ends up on my table, what the hell, it’s just wine.

    WLTV has definitely changed my wine world.

    Gary – Happy Anniversary! As my grandma used to say, “…and a happy many more!”

    QOTD – GV & WLTV is what has changed me wine-wise. You produce a great product. You are contagious, infectious, hilarious, entertaining, informative, and have me totally hooked. Thanks for maxing out my credit cards, tripling the size of my wine cellar, improving my wine education, and helping me to find and drink much better tasting wine. Thanks for creating WLTV and for all you and your staff do to make it so good!

    Hey WLTV–Kudos, congrats, thanks!!! WineSpectator sent out an email today mentioning how they’re about to start a weekly video blog. Now where do you think they got that idea?!? Imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery. but there’s only one GV. And I trust his opinion more than Laube and Co these days. Well done, Gary! Now get some sleep.

    I’ve learned that the day really flies by when you’re catching up on old WLTV episodes. I’ve aslo learned that ETHUSIASM BREEDS ENTHUSIASM. The more I learn the more I’m humbled by what is the wine world.Wine is fun damn it. Trust you’re palate. Try new stuff. Congrats on ONE YEAR!
    Thanks WLTV and GARY V….!!

    oh yeah, I’ve also learned the Bears need a new QB..

    Congrats!!

    I’ve only been watching WLTV for a few weeks and I am already completely hooked. I look forward to many years to come.

    QOTD – I’m trying new wines and learning a lot, thanks Gary!!!

    Congrats on a great year! As per usual, you’re well ahead of the curve — the predictions are that Southern England will eventually be a world-class wine-producing region. QOD: I am spending more on wine…and drinking varietals I never tried before.

    QOTD A year ago, we used to read Parker’s reviews and wondered why he never mentioned the lizard backs and worm heads we were tasting. Then we discovered Gary V. Now we look forward to popping a bottle, slicing some cheese and listening to Gary go nuts.

    Thanks to the whole crew that makes this happen!

    Happy FIRST anniversary! You’ll remember this when you’re old and soaking your “teeth” to get the purple out.

    QOD: It’s broadened my wine knowledge, I’ve tried a ton of stuff I wouldn’t otherwise have tried, and I’ve gotten to know (and become friends with) a bunch of folks from this site. It’s been a great year!

    One year? Hell, I’ve only known of this place for less than two weeks, put my wine appreciation has been changed forever. The enthusiasm you share with all of us to explore,, and that’s really what it’s all about, not getting in a rut, but trying new things and learning how to explain what you are sensing. And I laugh everytime I think of you saying, “Let’s drink some God Damn wine!!!”
    Yes let’s,. Congratulations and Best Wishes for year two. tks GV

    Wow, 1 year! We have seen you grow from a very mild-mannered, quiet, business-like conservative host–to the out-going, fun, rock chewing, dirt eating, sock sucking, freeze your butt off in the sleet crazy guy we all love! I can’t wait for year 2!

    QOD: This time last year, my wine vocabulary consisted of “white, or red”?? Now I can use the word ‘terroir’ in a sentence!! HA! Thanks for the entertainment and info, keep it coming! Congrats on year 1!!!!
