The new digs are phat!!!!!!!!!!!! By the way, you can really show the color of wine really well now. I had the ‘05 Sincerely several days ago, and the color of it on screen exactly matches what I had. The scale and lighting is significantly better now. Kudos GV and crew.

Nuts in your mouth? Are you freaking kidding me! I guess nothing you do should surprise me. What’s the song all about, maybe I missed something. I really like the new look here, I haven’t checked it out yet, but hopefully you made looking through the archive episodes easier. I also very much like the larger screen, though with the smaller one I could see more of the other information and comments without having to scroll down. Is it just me or is the sound quality alot higher?

Gary,
are you sure you wouldn’t have bashed the Elderton Command if you didn’t know RP score? I am not polemic, it’s just that it seems you don’t like oak monsters as RP does (and I agree with you). Why then did you give it a 90?

I like the new WLTV look. Good job to all WL staff!

Great new look!

Would have been great to have a slideshow of wristband photos while the music was playing at the end (just sent a photo of my daughter with the schwag!)

How very Web 2.0 of you, GV. Hook everything up through the La-port? *Tiki Bar joke*

Are you guys seeing the same thing I am? On Firefox, everything is all out of alignment. The site literally looks disjointed (ha ha). Plus, why would you link to wines in cork’d? There’s so little information there compared to CellarTracker. I give the new look a PAZZZZZ.

Oh yes, I too don’t go for nuts in the mouth — not that there’s anything wrong with it.

I love the show and I love cork’d. So this is stupendously double-plus awesome! Cheers!

Oh man, if I didn’t know better, I’d think you ripped off the cork’d site template! Looks awesome, I’m now green with envy over the pathetic look of my own evolving site template.

Again, awesome seeing you in SF, I’m jazzed to see you again at the end of the month!

Things look TOP SHELF.

So what’s the deal no more WLTV asks on FRI.?

L.P. (yes he used the 3rd person) had a pretty,pretty,pretty,

Overall though whew! At least I get to say I knew ya when…

lifes too short
nice look, but doesn’t come out well on a mac running firefox! (on my mac, at least…) cheers, though; it’s a more elegant feel…

Like the new clean look! You may want to change the twitter stuff at the top from “Gary’s current twitter status” to “Gary’s most recent twitter status”, though. What happens when you don’t update it for hours

QOTD – Love the new look and since I’m a Cork’d user, I love to see how WLTV and Cork are tied together this way. Very nicely done.
