    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.

    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.

    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.

    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,
    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 view but I’m not so enthusiastic about the “generic” blog template. I’m sure there are a load of advantages with the new platform or you wouldn’t have switched. Content is King and that part is still consistently good. So when are you going to add some display ads? The media buyer in me wants to a hook into your audience.

    I like the new site and it pushed me over to Cork’d which I had not found yet. I like the new larger video but like others I had a bit of a hard time finding the forums links at the bottom of the page. All in all damn nice. 🙂 Thanks and keep up the great content.

    LOVE how BIG the video is!!! I don’t use corked much cuz they don’t have as many reviews as cellertracker but maybe it’s just not as established. Honestly I don’t get the song, why it’s here and it’s kind of “fake fruit” to my ears. Over all though great new look!

  • Like the new Digs, I really didn’t think the image looked grainy at all.
    Thanks for answering my Twitter question. I have been on the fence about the 2005 Bordeauxs because I have been viewing them as long agers but for intermediate aging many of the ones you showed in your videos might just be great.

    I like the new page. Very clean and classy looking. The video size is an improvement too. Up close and personal with Gary VAY – NER – CHUK.

    So THAT’S what you were working on while not doing anything with your Cork’d profile, I get it now. Awesome new look, I’m a huge Cork’d fan. Way to go GV and crew.

    Loved the super sized screen…it was about time. I do agree with another comment – that you were a little off today. Seemed like there was something else on the mind.

    Reminds me of corked but one thing that I did not find was the Terroir Blog link. Where did you put it? You can skip the muic – don’t go Hollywood on us.
