    Gary, Great episode Kudos on 200. How would you like to do an episode on wines that you think may
    have been “acidified” or otherwise overly manipulated by the winemaker and how to tell if you think
    the acidity is fake or real.. same with sugar enrichment?

    Of course we all like you, Gary. It’s kind of a given since we’re watching. 200 episodes is a real achievement.

    BTW, thanks for the SS, Chris. That was sure a bunch of entries!

    Hey, Eric! (comment #87)

    Why not try iTunes? If you download iTunes and subscribe to WLTV, you’ll get a fresh delivery every time you update your podcasts.

    Feel free to send me a PM through the forum if you run into any snags.

    Gary,

    PLEASE tell us that 163 is not the number of episodes left. I’ve been worrying about that for a while actually, but I never took the thought very seriously before today. And it’s such a wierd number. Just two more than that and you’d have a full year of WLTV-days. But what’s up with 363? Is it some kind of lame numerical palindrome? …Or perhaps a pyramid where the sum of the base equals the apex? (I’m really reaching here.)

    In any case, I love the show, and so do my girlfriend and many of my friends and family members. You’ve touched a bunch of lives out here, and we’d really hate to see you go. By all means, cut back if you have to, or even take some lengthy breaks, but I can gaurantee that I’ll be right here when you start to miss us; and from the looks of the comments on this page, I won’t be the only one.

    I’m writing this comment at five in the morning PST because I’ve spent the last TEN HOURS studying for my midterm in Anatomy & Physiology. I was very busy, and under time constraints, but there was no way I could miss the 200th episode. So I watched it in small increments during breaks. Thank you so much for the wonderful episode. I just hope I have money to spend before WL’s all sold out :) …I won’t tell anyone if you hide some 2004 La Noblaie Chinon in the back for me ;)

    Are the Vayniaks getting a little too needy? It sounds like people are asking you to be nothing more than a guy who gives them insider’s tips on great ‘under-the-radar’ values. Please feel free to tell us to shove it whenever we cramp your style. I think most of us just love the show and want you to keep doing it, in whatever way fulfills you the most.

    Do I like you? I do. And even if TODAY was the last episode, I’d always remember you and your crazy show fondly.

    Congratulations on the 200th, and an epic it was indeed. Forget retiring to Florida, I am selling the Carolina Panthers and buying not just the Wine Library but all of Springfield NJ. You are awesome, and your wines are awesome. QOD– Yeah, we all like you. You are an adorable geek. But I bet you are a pain in the ass to work for– so demanding of excellence, and all. Here’s to the next 200! Hell, the next 2000! You’ve got to keep going until your Jets win a Super Bowl (10,000 episodes?).

    Another special thanks:

    Also, seeing as how this IS the 200th episode, I want to state for the record that I also like Chris Stanisci, WLTV’s loyal spreadsheet-maker, a lot. No, I’ve never actually met him, but he has saved me so much $ and he has made it so easy for me to recall Gary’s recommendations, especially when the “free shipping” has been on offer. So, thanks Chris!!!

    Gary, I like you a LOT, and I like you because of the type of person you are:

    1.Sweet

    2.Kind

    3.A BIG-hearted sharer-you “throw us a bone” sometimes by saving us S&H $$$$

    4.Unselfish and generous-you regularly acknowledge and spotlight others for the contributions they’ve made, and also you promote good causes and promote things/people on your show that won’t always benefit you or WLTV directly–

    5.Off-the-charts PASSIONATE!!! Which is why you have the very best wine blog on Earth right now (I can vouch only for English-speaking sites). Your personality is totally made-for-TV because you send off such positive vibes… You are smart, au courant, have a great sense of humor, and you behave totally outrageously which I like! And I think that I speak for many when I say that it is rare to find someone who relishes living as you do. Every bite of food, every slurp of wine, you obviously try to derive the most enjoyment out of it as possible–this is why you have so many taste and odor analogies to call on when you try to describe to us how you’re experiencing the wines/cheeses (worm heads, grape Now & Laters,). Everything seems to be a passion in your life. The Jets, what you ate for dinner last night, and going to Bordeaux all seem to elict similar levels of enthusiasm.

    This list could go on and on, and on….oh, YES. We like, and love, our dear TV superhero Gary V!!!!

    What the hell! What does “200 more? (headshake)” mean!
    QOTD: I like you, but not if you quit on us!

    Watching many episodes is gettng to be like watching my old favorite show over and over now. I’m still laughing at your ” Wine Library TV, THE MOVIE.” That was funny. I enjoyed every minute of it all as always. I’m happy you rocked with a longer version today and with all good wines.

    I totally agree with comment # 90 and Steve that you’ve done more than any other single wine critic venue to influence me and I knew a bit about wine before I saw WLTV. Thank you, CONRATS on 200! I hope you’re not going out on top and that there are many more episodes to come.

    QOTD; We All like you! signed…Bill Belichek, Tom Brady and the gang…

    Thanks Gary. You are definitely changing the world of wine for me.

    Congrats, absolutely great ep. I’m still catching up on back eps. Ya know, have you thought about cutting back from 5 eps a week to… 1? 2? I’ve been wondering about how you are holding up. It takes what? 2 hrs to film a 20 minute ep? 2.5 hrs? More? 5 a week is damn ambitious.

    It’s a hit, you can take a break now. Change the schedule. Go on holiday. But come back and tell us what the fuh is UP!

    QOTD: don’t be silly. NO wait, yes, do be silly. We like it.

    Gary, this ep. was CRYING OUT for a button called “Buy the Ultimate $200 case.” One click, no more effort needed. All these wines dumped into the shopping cart. Boom! Done. Would have pulled some cheapo fence-sitters right overboard into the drink.

    BTW…42 minutes episode!!?? looked like it was a regular 10 minutes one. Just super enjoyable!!

    Congradulations on #200 Gary and crew!
    QOTD: Yes I like you, but more important than that, I respect you.
    Great idea for #200 too, can’t wait to see what you come up with for the $100 case. By the way, did you ever peg a date for the HEAT Episode? :)

    Good luck on the Bordeaux trip!

    Вспомните Гэри, при litlle сдержанное вас и множества нас мы изменяем мир вина.

    200 and I just found your site. No, I think you have to do 200 more. It’s just that good. Keep Rockin G.

    Holy 200! Great selection for this HUGE Ep., and YOU DESERVE AN EPISODE DEDICATED TO THE WINES YOU LIKE, BIG G.!!
    Also, this college boy thanks you SO MUCH for including some larger production, afordable wines in the $200 case so that I DEFFINITELY will seek out a few.

    QOTD: I’ll answer a question with a question: Would I set aside time every night after waiting in snewty customers all night, making wine recommendations and pairings (that are partially inspired by the knowlege that you’ve imparted to me) to come home at 1AM or later, sit down at my computer, (sometimes pour a glass of wine) click my WLTV bookmark, devote 20…and once in a while 42 MINUTES AND 35 SECONDS (today!) to enjoy the best VLOG on the internet… IF I DIDN’T LIKE MY MAN BIG G.??? So, in closing, YES…I like Gary Vaynerchuk…at least a little bit.

    CONGRATS on the big 200, and I’ll be here until there are no more episodes to view. You have my word.

    Of course I like you Gary your the MAN! I love the show as well! I feel like you and the other awesome people on the forums have taught me a lot! You know in a way you are like Chateau Haut Brion, if you go to their website you can actually ask the people who make the wine questions or make comments and they reply and are actually NICE what a concept ha, well I feel like this is the case here all of the people including you Gary have been honest nice and helpful, THANK YOU all! Have fun in France I will be there this summer myself so I will have to just dream about Bordeaux for now haha. Cheers and have a safe trip.

    hmm my use of symbols cut my response off.
    QOTD2: WLTV RIP -greaterthan 200 and -lessthan 400
    WLTV has an asymptotic QPR for its viewers and I hope that its ROI has been worthy.

    QOTD: What is there not to like.
    QOTD2: I guess you answered that one. WLTV RIP > 200
