Hey Gary….who was the first one to start leaving you comments about the way you say your name…making it into syllables (remember I likened it to Mad Dog Russo’s opening)

Who came up w/ the term Vayniac?

Who has over 3000 Forum posts?

Who does the SS?

Dude…time for you to admit it…I’m the man!!!!!!!!!

QOTD: It’s fantastic….great wine knowledge….great wine….you’re funny as sh*t!!….as you know I’ve met some great Vayniac friends……

So, on second thought, maybe YOU are da man!!! Nah…the most I’ll give you is that “We are BOTH the MAN!!” (should that be MEN because it’s plural…*sigh*

Solid.
I like the idea of giving drink/cellaring windows for the wines you taste. That’s a good idea.
QOTD: Pretty awesome, but not as awesome as the Giants who are gonna CRUSH your pathetic Jets on 10/7/07!!!!!!!

Awesome episode today. I know you get disappointed to have a whole episode where you can’t really recommend anything, but there’s nothing like hearing, “this wine is VERY one-dimensional, and that dimension is crap!” every once in a while.

Responding to a Twitter comment you made on a French rose episode: Yes, definitely, about time, was wondering when you’d be getting around to that. Or, summer’s pretty long, so how about two: French rose, and then dry pinks from the rest of the world. In my limited experience the French ones tend to be very good, but there’s also stuff worth looking at from Italy, Spain…maybe New York?? Very interested to get some recommendations in the category.

Gary,

I haven’t had very good experiences with Spanish wines over the last 6 months and seems that you had a similar experience today. The selection in my area is not great so that explains my trouble, but for you access is not the problem. It makes me think that more often than not, I’m going to be disappointed with any Spanish wines that I can get in my area.

Great job on the show and I think adding Twitter was definitely a cool idea.

Gary,

I’m intrigued how you sniff your wine, kinda like you start slow and end with a big inhalation. I find that when I do that, I get a lot of alcohol vapors on the nose.

I gotta say that I’m not terribly looking forward to the Transformers movie, this is going to be quite a summer for movies. Spidey 3 was a bit of a letdown for me personally.

Excellent job on the use of Twitter today. I was able to watch without the annoying bzzzzzzzzzzzzzz that distracts me in that “why the heck can’t he turn that thing OFF” kinda way.

QOTD: WLTV is quite a phenomenon. And I find it particularly awesome that you’re still so committed to the show and to your audience. Also, bringing the audience closer through the use of things like Twitter (and perhaps Talkshoe and UStream in the future — who knows?) engages us and gets us excited about what you’re doing. Keep it up!
