BIG thanks to the WLTV crew. LOVE the organization of TV archives by month and by subject! Very cool!

Gary,
I agree with Atreyu – your description of the Elderton did not seem like it warranted a 90. With all the oak, milk, milk and how about some more milk, it’s like the old lady in the commercials years ago: “Where’s the beef (fruit)?” QOTD: The new look is certainly slick. Can’t say that I’m into the Diggs, Twitters, Tags, etc. Guess I’m more about the basics.

I like the larger video, but on Safari there are a few things out of alignment.
Not sure I understand why we’re on cork’d now, but what do I know.

Gary,

Great show.

It seems that there are a tone of savignon blancs @ the 87-91 level. I’d love to see you pull out a 98 point savignon blanc (I’ve never seen one)

QOTD: It’s great to have the WLTV/CORK’d/Twitter content so well integrated.

sweet new look, the new archives section is great. The Bordeaux episodes rocked, who cares that they were raw. Although, I must say, I’m not digging the twitter thing. I signed up and everything, just not feeling it.

“E” …. the links appear at the bottom of my page, just scroll down a little farther.

QOTD: Like the new look, especially the larger picture. Like a few others, my eyes aren’t what they used to be 30 years ago. A lot easier to see the episode in the larger format. Thanks.

But: where are all those wonderful links to the forum and the questions page and all that fun stuff? I miss those, or am I looking in the wrong place?

Larger video, very nice. Elderton Command, meh. It is what it is, but not my cup of tea.

QOTD: Angle is a little low. Framing a bit tight. Otherwise, great.

Gary, awesome site! Loved the s. African sauv blanc..you need to find a high end one for me.

I am stoked about the new site, keep up the awesome inovation.

Pretty digs. I like the larger video image, but it’s a coarser image. Regarding the Bordeaux episodes, they were really interesting (although not as high energy as the studio segments), but the audio was so quiet that I couldn’t really hear any dialog well. That was a big disappointment for me. The wine blending was cool, and could really be fun.

Being that I am usually a creature of habit I was initially thrown off by the look of this place and it upset me a little. I also don’t know if I am the biggest fan of the cork’d background for some reason the white did it for me. BUT of course Gary is the man so I’m staying for sure.

PLEASE HAVE MAYNARD JAMES KENAAN ON WLTV!!!!!!

Love the new Diggs Gary! Very Web 2.0 (maybe 2.4ish). Couple suggestions:

1) Easily accessible “comment” link on the front page.

2) I liked the links to WL homepage and WLTV Forum at the top of the old page, maybe move those to the top.

Great job as always!

“sellout” comes to mind. Appears my grammar is in the garbage today.

Not into the song. Don’t want to be a meanie, but the word “sellout” comes to mine.

Everyone loves WineLibraryTV cause it’s raw and real.

It’s kinda like that fantastic TV show in it’s first year, people are having parties around it, then the network get’s greedy and the magic’s gone.

The new layout looks great. No problems with it and Firefox. Bigger picture = better!!!

I am seriously starting to think about putting together an audio show highlighting all of the catch phrases you use in each show…like a “Rome Report” for WLTV. What do ya think?

The CORKD GUI is what made me choose Cork’d over cellartracker, and now to see this GUI theme here = wonderful!

QOTD: YESSSSSSSS!!! Spectacularly awesome!

Gary, I watch WineLibrary TV every day for your enthusiasm and positive, playful attitude toward wine. This is also reflected in your openness towards using new technology to upgrade our WineLibrary TV experience! I like the new website and love the unintentiional 3-D aspect of friday’s show – the wine spilling onto my laptop, the wristband bumping off my screen etc LOL.
