Lurker, yes you finally begged hard enough to make me post. GREAT SHOW! Watch it almost every day.

Greeting from Holland, where it,s getting warmer so the Rose’s are being popped more then anything, maybe you can do an episode on Rose?

Moderate sneezer. Notch closer to sneezer than hermit. I don’t really feel the need to horde, though I keep my sneezes confined to those who I think might be interested.

TIIIIIMBEEEEEEEEER!!!

I’m a friggin sneezer, and not one of those ordinary sneezers, I’m one that sneezes and sneezes 100 freakin times in a row and it looks like I’m going into convulsions and I can’t stop and I can’t hold back and I spew snot everywhere… it’s kinda disgusting, but it’s what I do. Only problem is I don’t have many friends so the ones I do have are covered with snot and get pissed at me cause I always tell them to hook it up and log on and post comments but they can’t cause the snot is sticky and holding them back. ew.

Splendid! I am new to the show but I love it very much, very informative. Certainly a sneezer for now, talked about it with my friends and encouraged them to check you out. Oh and the Cotes du Rhones you reviewed, excellent price, I am going to look for this next time I’m out. Thanks!

Hey Gary-

I’d have to say that i’m more of a sneezer than a hermit. I meet so many new wine drinkers, especially young wine drinkers, and inform them of your show. You know your show is fun and educational with an easy-going attitude…don’t pretend like you don’t. Yet, there are some wine drinkers that would not fully appreciate your show…so they don’t get you! Why give a 1995 Chateau Petrus to someone who won’t care or appreciate it? So, again, I share you with people who will watch, enjoy, and appreciate your show and effort.

BTW There is not way that the Jets dominated the draft! My boys, the SF 49ers, did much better….Darrel Jackson for a 4th round pick…are you kidding me!

QOTD: SNEEZER. I tell anyone who will listen, and plenty who don’t, about WLTV. I shot links off to people after conversations about specific wines or different varietals. Big, big fan of WLTV!

Nice episode. I have a bottle of the 2005 Domaine De La Garrigue Cotes Du Rhone Cuvee Romaine in my last order from WL and I really enjoyed it. The Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc was mentioned in the food section of the Washington Post yesterday, so it was nice to hear your impressions.

I must say that the Lions did pretty, pretty good in the draft, too. I’m hoping Drew Stanton can “show up.”

QOTD – Definitely a hermit. My wife does not like Gary, so I have to watch the show when she is not around or with headphones. Don’t feel bad GV, I stand up for you.

QOTD: I agree with Robert F above, probably a snermit. Friends get the link and others, I’ll show them when I need it. Your such a pro.

Have you ever had a Portuguese tasting? Would be cool to hear you talk about the baga, touriga nacional and perhaps an idiotically old wine of the ramiscogrape. If you never had a Colares before, they must be at least 30 years old otherwise they’re far too young.
Wouldn’t you think that the bonnes mares of the last episode would go greatly together with some of the traditional Belarus food?

OK, so I’m a lurker who tends to sneeze from time to time. I guess now that I have posted a comment, I no longer lurk??? Now what am I???

You pretty much read my mind with the Kim Crawford. I’ve been curious about that wine for months, but alas, in the Loire the only sauv blancs you can find are local. Something to put on my list for June.

QOTD: Probably a Snermit.

The Diggnation guys sent me over a couple episodes back. I went through the archives where you were more laid back. I’d have stayed a lurker forever, except that you’re so ENERGETIC!

I’m rocking the ‘03 Garrigue tonight and definitely getting some Cherry Cola hardcore style in the taste. Man, wine is AWESOME!

Hi Gary! Another great episode. You are very consistent and that’s something very hard to find nowadays.
QOTD: I’m 50% Hermit and 50% sneezer. In the beggining i kept WLTV for myself, it was like a treasure you find in a desert island. I devored each episode like a maniac, but then i felt like i should spread out the word. My friends are all wine drinkers, but no too “intelectual”, so in the beggining, as i said, i kept it to myself. But then i started to recommend WLTV to everyone, and “some” of them watched the show and really liked it.
These days, is my main “theme” of conversation among my social life.
Thanks for that Gary.

QOTD: I’m somewhere in between sneezer and hermit. I would sneeze globally, but not all of my friends are into wine. That said, I have “sneezed” (via email) all over my wino, errr, I mean wine appreciating friends!
