    I am pretty new to posting here, but I will tell you one thing that has influenced me from these WLTV episodes. Today in a meeting after resolving a lot of issues, I almost blurted out to my client, “YOU with a little bit of me, can make this application great!” Needless to say this WLTV closing statement by Gary is now embedded in my head like a song I heard on the radio that I cant shake loose.
    Help me.

    One other thing, with that hair Gary, are you sure you’re not a crazy car salesman?

    In France Languedoc wines are no secret but I think you are in error about the acreage at 700 acres maybe square kilometers but not acres, Mondavi is twice that size in Napa alone. Having seen the size of these vineyards in Languedoc you are off by a factor of 1000 or more. These wines tend to be all over the place having gone from house to house tasting them and much of what has been imported has often been less than stellar even at the prices. It is pleasant to see good values again as the French wines have really suffered from the dollar collapse. I haven’t done another video because the one I sent in was so bad to begin with I couldn’t bear to do another. Light brigh…well my children had one, never knew what it was good for.

    OK…you were cracking me up today. Languedoc has some great values…hopefully my warehouse has the Mas Janeil and the Les Verrieres here. I’ll give them a whirl. If not, I’m sure one of our competitors has it.

    Umm…I’m glad you were as amped as I was to see the NFL schedule. I like the Bears opening in San Diego. Everyone’s going to pick SD, the Bears’ll come home 1-0 and then start their run to the SuperBowl.

    QOD#1: Well…I’m not lazy, like a said a thousand times, I don’t have access to a camera, and if I ever do, I’m going to film something thoroughly disgusting.

    QOD#2: I know it’s some sorta girl toy probably with ponies or dolls that smell like candy and crap, but all I can think of is Light Brights.

    Alright man…see you later,
    T
    GO BEARS!!!

    By the way, nice hair.

    If you think Gary’s hair is outrageous in this episode, check out episode #33. He looks about 12.

    Fiorentina!

    Hey Teen Wolf!

    I swear, I saw the transformation begin to occur…must have been getting mad at the first two bottles of L-R! Don’t worry brother….L-R is still surfing the van, winning basketball games, and intimidating teachers with it’s red glowing eyes!

    Fun episode…alittle more energy at the end, but I gotta tell ya….If ‘Big Brother’ ever makes a transporter like that…I’ll beam you over to have a bottle of Yquem…sound good?

    QotD – I’ve been secretly giving the wines of your website tasting reviews…what else do you want man?

    Word Ass. – Rainbow Bright = Dy-no-mite!

    Good episode. Keep it up.

    Gary, Check your acreage facts. I don’t doubt that Languedoc-Roussillon has more acres than Bordeaux does but I can definitely say that Bordeaux has more than 700 acres. You most likely meant 700,000 acres which is somewhere around 290,000ish hectares. Other than that, it was yet another great episode on some really great wine values.

    Your hair; can you say Cameron Diaz in “There’s Something About Mary”?

    QOD #1: I do things for you all of the time when I leave my insightful comments here. I’m still a lurker though because I do not participate in your forums.

    QOD#2: Rainbow Bright: Dolls and horses for little kids.

    Regarding the 2003 Mas Janeil Cotes Du Roussillon Villages, this was my comment last month in the forum titled Learning Languedoc:

    “I’ve had this one and I would put it up against anything from the Rhone at twice the price.”

    I am sad. I was hoping to have this region all to my self. Thanks Vay-Ner-Chuck. Why don’t you have a facebook page and button?

    QOTD: Well…as a full time college student the only way I could make a video is without sound on my camera….or go to bust buy and buy a camera, make the video & return it….will I do that for you…I’d love to. When will you start shipping to Maine again? Ha…in all seriousness. I am just working on tracking down a camcorder. You should dig the video…we shall see.

    Rainbow Bright….skittles. there’s my word association.

    A “profound” Vaynerchuk hairdo. Beautiful episode, though. Les verrieres De Montagnac, the color alone is worth the twenty bucks, and everything else sounds so appealing too. I’ve come to a point in my life where I don’t like anything that has the name Calvet on it. Had a dissapointment two days ago that still has me pissed off. I mean, talk about a neck to neck competition with the two-buck-chuck. It didn’t come as a surprise, but this one really pissed me off. It’s also like french peasant’s wine, like you commented on the Domaine De Nizas. Thanks a lot for so much information, Professor Vaynerchuk
