Gary, first of all QOD: Of course we like you! That is the reason why we watch an episode that lasted more than 40 minutes

I didn’t like the last phrase though, why do you mean there won’t be 200 more? Please don’t make us beg.

Anyway, congratulations on Episode 200, it was awesome. Have a great time in France and see you soon.

FANTASTIC episode. Great stuff. Thanks Gary. I hope you were shaking your head at the end because 200 more is not going to happen, 10,000 more is!

WLTV cannot end.

And the QOTD is a no brainer. My answer: of course!

I tried the Tintoralba last night. I was not as impressed by it as much as you and Parker were. It is clearly a food wine and not meant to be consumed without something on the palate. Nonetheless, it struck me as being a bit disjointed with a bit too harsh a tannin and acid structure even after this number of years and being opened for a couple hours. I don’t suspect the tannins will ever really resolve themselves before the fruit falls apart. I would never have confused this wine with a $20 to $40 Bordeaux, the flavors and style screamed Mediterranean Sea, not Gironde River. Nonetheless there were some nice things about it, especially for its price point. 88-89 points

Congrats on 200 episodes…I have been a semi-lurker for 50 of them!
QOD – I like you cause you have personality, you know your wine, you are real, you are a jock and you have stop using the “air quotes”.

Congrats on having a great show.

Qotd: If I say no, am I fired?

What’s with no to 200 more is that what the countdown is for? The end of Wltv? Say it aint so Gary! What else will I listen to when I do entry for the site?

Hey G, THANK YOU!

I do like you because you have love for the wine newbies and lurkers. I’ve always been interested in wine but I could never find that jumping off point, I always felt so “out of the loop”. Well you brought me in the loop then put me in a headlock and gave me a noogie and I couldn’t be happier. It’s strange to say but my life has improved in real verifiable ways since I started watching your show so again, thanks.

Congratulations on the 200 episodes! Here’s looking at the next 2000!

Great tour de force tasting through those 12 wines! At least they were your choice and we got no stinkers. Thank you for the excellent selection of values in our price range. I loved the country choices too. 3 from Spain, 2 from New Zealand, Italy and France, and 1 from Argentina, USA and Canada. I guess that tells you where to get your quality value wines. And the Petit Sirah was not a real value at 32 bones!

QOTD. Of course we like you, with your few defects and many virtues. That’s why you have 20,000 people watching. Wow!

Thanks for everything you do!

Thanks Gary,
I like you in a manly way…I like Canada too, we’ve got great wine but no pink, (I mean rose’) shirts.

What’s not to like eh? This episode is exactly why I like WLTV. A great take on wines, many of which I’ve never had. Trying to find a wine that would not stink up a Seder is always a challenge. This inspired me to try several of the wines mentioned. Thanks for 200. Looking forwar to at least a few thousand more.

SUPER SHOW!!!! You worked hard on this one and it was memorable; the price range puts these wines within the reach of “the rest of us.” I’ll be referring back to this episode many times.

Gary- If you must know, your affiable nature coupled with your frustrated comedic timing make you one of the easiest guys to like in the known universe. Now, if you can only find a way to continue to deliver your show without overdoing it, we will all continue to benefit from your effort…

Congrats to the WLTV crew on #200! I greatly appreciate WLTV, the forums, and the Wine Library for educating and entertaining me at the same time.

QOD: “Do you like me?” Sounds like a song in Fiddler On the Roof, no? (”DO I WHAT?”). Well, I probably would if you’re anything in real life like your online persona. You seem to be a lot of fun, but you definitely also have a sensitive side (why else would you even give a damn if we like you or not)? You’re into sports, wine (a little), great food and restaurants in NYC, so it also seems that we have a lot in common.

BTW, have fun in Bordeaux.
