    Hey Gary,
    Episode 1000. A $1000.00 case of wine episode.
    At least one first growth.
  • John J.
    qotd you're cool Gary


    I really like it if you'd do a vin jaune episode

    WLTV causes face melting at my house! Of course we "stayed with you" til the end of this tasting marathon. I now catch myself buying wines I never would have even noticed before, all because of WLTV. And I love it! Recently I called "green bell peppers" on a Sauv Blanc from NZ and my husband swiped the bottle and read the back of it, and yes! Good call, wife! Moments like this come courtesy of my palate expanding via WLTV. And you've just passed Episode 600, what do you think of that?!
  • Brian Johnson
    Forgot one thing. Another reason I like you. Even you are wrong sometimes. So much for not having another 200. Keep up the great work.
  • Brian Johnson
    Great episode and you've completely enhanced my wine experience. And that is the first rhetorical question I've heard you ask so far. Like is an understatement!
    Seeking out the Wooden Nickel Petit Sirah immediately. My father-in-law (who loves wine) lost his dad this past fall and one of the recurring quotes people were repeating at the service was one that he had said throughout his life about wooden nickels. When you read the quote on the back of the bottle, I realized a bottle of this wine will be a PERFECT gift for my father-in-law. Hope the 2004 is as good as the 2003.

    How can we NOT like you?

    QOTD: We like you. . . we really, really like you! ;)
  • Kristen
    Holy crap GV I'm so jealous! I wish I could be at the WL- it looks so amazing! Thanks for the marathon episode!!!!! And if you say 7 more episodes after 392, are you really gonna quit??? This can't happen!!!!

    QOTD: Of course!
  • Like you!? I can't believe the crap wine I drank before I found WLTV! You're my G-D hero!
  • Steven Boren
    This Chinon tres magnifique! Reminded me of a very expensive Grgich Cab I had
  • Gee
    Can't believe I watched the whole thing... but it was a very good show. Bought the Pesquie. Looking forward to the $100 case episode.
  • surf.sf
    Couldn't resist that Cote du Ventoux on free.winelibrary.com after watching this episode! Bring on the leather and tobacco!
  • vivaitalia
    Like you? I love you. I was one of those people drinking crappy chianti all the time and now I get something i've never tried before every time I hit the wine store. My horizons have been expanded exponentially. And hey, I actually like the longer episodes, maybe you should try to throw one in every week or two. It's just too bad you're a Jets fan......
  • Christine
    Gary! I love you.. I'm your number one fan. And I'm telling as many people as possible about your show. Hopefully you'll go to the big screen soon. I would love watching you on the Food Network channel while I'm in the kitchen cooking dinner.
  • Dan
    Gee Vee,

    My face is GONE! You rocked it OFF. Great marathon episode.

  • Still catching up ... tangerines on the bbq and asparagus socks in the oven, great!
    QOTD: of course I don't!
  • tarheel17
    Sooo, Gary. . .do you evern get *toasty* drinking an entire case of wine?? Can you confess to being a tad off-kilter in any of your previous episodes?? Or am I the only one who starts to feel the effects of the magic juice after a few sips. . .?
    Just wondering.
    Of course I like you Gary. I wouldn't watch 4 episodes in a row (including the 40+ min one) to catch up while on vacation if I didn't!
  • Quixote
    Congratulations on another epic episode of WLTV. As a long time lurker, I hope you keep this going for 200 more. There's something in every episode and an episode for everyone. We may help change the wine world, but you've single-handedly changed the online wine buying experience.
  • JayZee
    Fantastic freakin' episode. Loved all 42+ minutes of it.

    QOTD: You have to ask? Aw c'mon! Yes, I like you, Gary! You, and WLTV, are a BLAST!
  • Peter
    Great episode...Thanks
  • Michael M.
    QOTD: You know we do; now do you have to ask? I know you are not sure.
    Episode 200 has to be one of my favorite and just got better with
    the twelve wine of episode 200 that just arrived. I hope the twelve
    will help me understand were gary is coming from, do I open all
    twelve and watch the episode or one bottle at a time? .. tnx Gary.

    I was talking to an owner of a very large Napa winery last week about you and he told me that you were crazy and the other owners can't stand you(for more than 5 minutes). I took this as a good thing that you likely bust their chops to get great pricing to pass on to us your loyal customers.
    You're on the right side don't ever change.
    Noah was a drunk (Wino)and he was God's favorite. So that must make you some kind of Prophet.
  • luvgrapesqeezings
    Yea, we like you.
  • Matt from Barossa
    Hey Gary,

    I've gotta say I have had you off the radar for so long. Just stopped watching after that classic training your palate episode. I thought nothing could top that. But good to see a real great episode 200... You've inspired me and I've got an announcement for you in late April...
  • Jer
    Love the show and hoping it never ends --- you have really expanded the wine world!
  • the big cheez
    Great show Gary!

    As one of your loyal lurkers, I had to come out and congratulate you on such an outstanding performance...not only today, but for these past 200 episodes. You have educated us like no one else could...it is so much fun learning about these different wines that most of us would probably never think of trying. Your enthusiasm for wine is very contagious and you make it very enjoyable to watch...even 42 minutes worth.

    Keep it coming...based on these comments we're all pretty much hooked!!

    QOTD: I think everyone here loves you...you give us plenty of great reasons why we just need to buy just one more case of wine.

    PS: My wife unknowingly thanks you too...she thinks I'm a wine genius!!
  • Justin
    I love this freakin show, finally someone who makes wine fun.
  • Jeff M.
    Of course we love you Gary! I feel like the King of England with my own personal taster when I watch you. No more bad wine for me!
  • Matty Van - Tampa,FL
    Do I like you?....more than I like crabs

    top 300 comment...I rule
  • Dr. D
    Do we like you? Who, besides your wife, would listen to you for 42:35 straight?

    200, huh! Did Seinfeld have that many episodes?
  • Badger Ann
    Do I like you? Gary, I'm catching up on this week's episodes with the NCAA Tournament on TV on mute so I won't be distracted! Thank you for all the fun and passion over 200 episodes.
  • Russ J
    Gary and Ian, the "gel" brothers. Let's measure and see who has the most distance from scalp to peak. There's a real contest. No need for any March Madness.

    Congratulations and Thanks to you and your crew for 200! And thanks to Chris Stan/SS Chris for his ever handy spreadsheet.

    and, yes, Stuart Smalley, darn it, I like you!

    Enjoy the wine tasting and the dealmaking (which do you like more??) in Bordeaux.
  • Vinacull
    Gary,
    Congratulations on the big 200, and special thanks to all the Vayniacs who keep the show strong -- Brandon, SS Chris, Eric, Paul, Stallion, Kahuna, Susan, and yes even a little bit of Jason Hicks. Excellent show and highly appropriate all the way through the lonnnggg finish. QOTD: In my car I was crawling down West 78 in the icy muck of today's storm (I had just picked up my wife from the airport after she spent half the day there and they ended up canceling her flight). Suddenly as that big WL billboard came into view with the grinning Gary Vaynerchuck holding the glass out toward the world to take a swirl and a sniff, my wife commented "I haven't seen you smile like that in weeks!!!" So... OF COURSE I like you, ya big goof! Best, CK
  • Paul
    FINALLY finished this ep. Already had several of these and bought some more today, will have to pick up the Longaz, too.

    Congrats on 200. But we're looking for the Vaynernod when you say "200 more".

    We like you, GV. You know that.
  • WINO
    QOTD- Of course we like you. Who else would we sit and watch drink for 45 minutes!!!!

    Great episode. THanks for giving us some wines that have a great QPR and bring the noise and bring the funk. Will definitley try out the Hammond PN and the Tintoralba. Maybe the Wooden Nickel too.

    Enjoy France.
  • Slick Nick
    Gary,

    KUDOS!! KUDOS!! KUDOS!!

    Congratulations on episode 200!! Been there since day 1 and episodes keep getting better!!

    QOTD: You're the best!! I really appreciate your efforts on taking time out every day and putting together a WLTV episode. You've really educated me on so many different aspects of wine. You bring so many great qualities to the table. Your shows are not only informative, but entertaining too!! Excellent, excellent job!!

    The one thing I don't like about WLTV is wines sell out too fast!! I can no longer just grow my cart and then checkout when I come to the store. ;) I have to checkout more often!!
  • Dave-from-Katonah
    Congratulations on Episode #200!!

    Here's to 200 more!!

    Pretty nifty, having 200 comments, huh?

    Thanks for all you do...
  • Dave-from-Katonah
    Oh and by the way,
  • Dave-from-Katonah
    Who else turned me on to Two Up Shiraz for $12, Concannon Petit Sirah for $10, and yes, Wooden Nickel PS?
    I learned thru you and thru WLTV that I love syrah from both new world makers, as well as from Northern Rhone regions, such as St Joseph. You are the bomb! That's why the Vayniac-Nation is alive and well and living in not just Katonah, but also in the far reaches of the globe.
  • Dave-from-Katonah
    QOTD - yes of course I like you Gary. You are the bomb!
