Party in San Francisco after the contest!

I’ll pass on the Jet Countdown but I am counting the days to the Time Magazine Man of the Year issue with GARY V on the cover!!

can a vayniac backslide into lurkerdom by going 4 or 5 months without commenting?? If so, I fear the backslide and I’m just saying “hi”! I never miss an episode but I listen (i-pod) rather than watch these days so I’m never in the comment section. After listening to the marathon today – and all that great Jersey traffic racket in the background I knew I owed you a comment.
Kahuna – nothing’s changed! You may well be bi-polar but I agree with your first i-phone comment – you nailed it.
GV – TIME?! You truly have created a revolution. Right on. People are trying different things, tossing out preconceived ideas and getting LESS scared about trusting their own palates and standing up to the wine-bully.
And finally, I think the Oak Monster’s gang (which I believe you said showed up with him on today’s Spanish wine) would maybe be his Oak Minions?

Lightning bugs GV? Were do you come up with some of these descriptions? LOL
QOTD: I would eat fireflies for an Iphone.

QOTD No. Cell phones are an inconvenience. yes, I can see why GV needs one, but luckily I don’t, I mean I change my number so people can’t reach me!!

GV, don’t call bro…just send an email. I’ll get back with you!

By the way, when you “Vayniacs” go get your iPhone, get an AppleTV too… WLTV RULES on Apple TV!! awesome widescreen image quality and great audio too!

Too bad about the Tempranillo. It’s my favorite grape.
QOTD: Pay the early termination fee at Verizon, even though I like their service. The iphone is incredible!

I wouldn’t want an Iphone for one big reason. ATT. They suck, just got rid of them last year after 2 years of nightmare non-service and trying to use an internet browser on ATT is like a 14k modem.

I’m a fan of Carmenere and am happy to see a new one to try.

Lighting bugs and chocolate. That’s why I watch WLTV!!!!!

QOTD: After I figure out how to use my VCR and my MuVo I’ll consider an iphone. After I win the lottery. What’s the situation with the batteries anyway? Sounds brutal.

Great TIME article. Next for Gary: legendary sportscaster? Sounds like a shoo-in.

Hello. Did anyone attend the get together in NY last week? I live in NY and was just wondering how to hook up with that group of vayniacs… BTW, how do you come up with these descriptions … smells like your hands after catching lightening bugs????

Sensei,

QOTD, not sure if i would do anything for the iphone yet…still on the fence and need to see it to asess……..i do own apple stock and unlike Kahuna, I have held mine and it is up nicely today..:)

Good analogy for you…when you were trying to explain the oak in the Monte Alpha and it was like being startled and then went away quickly ( I did like that!)……how about Large Marge from Pee Wees Great Adventure……know you like obscure referecnes and might enjoy….

Congrats to Eric and his Wife on baby Danika!

Gary, Come to Seattle and have a wine party with us from the Northwest!

QOTD: Nothing. I have too many phones already. 🙂

Couldn’t be called out as a lurker any more. In agreeing w/ an earlier post-er, do a Seattle party!

QOTD: Nothing, I work for a wireless company 😛

Great show, can’t wait for another one!

I love buying different value wines, more times than not they are junk however.

I’ll tell you what I did for an iPhone — I waited in line for 10 hours on Friday so I could be one of the first to get my hands on one. No its not a crackberry but for those of us who just want a beautifully simple device that plays music, makes calls, checks email and surfs its perfect. And i can already type faster on it than I could with my Treo. If you don’t like it don’t buy one… You don’t see us trolling websites all day long bashing crackberries. 🙂

Lightening bugs!!! Enjoyable show as always.

Now don’t go throwing quarters at people.

And for all those people who hate the iPhone already. Think about it, you could be carrying with you everywhere you go, the entire library of Wine Library TV podcasts with you. It would be handy shopping for wine when you can’t remember which wine smelled like lightening bugs and hot chocolate.

I Gary, been watching for about 40 épisodes and I miss the signification of the countdown behind you.
By the way I am a french speaking canadian and willing to send tape of the right pronouciation of french wine name i.e. you don’t pronouunce the “c” in blanc (like in Sauvignon Blan “c”)

Mike and the family (kids love the Oak monster, sorry)

QOTD: I would glue a caption to my cat that read “I can has ifon?”

We were out on one of our semi-weekly wine-buying excursions and we found a bottle of the Montes Alpha. Looking forward to trying the ‘fruit grenade’ and posting our tasting notes.

QOTD: I would not wait in line for 24 hours and pay $600. I would, however, walk right into the store and get one for $300. Which I guess means I have to wait a bit.

QOTD: Absolutely nothing. I send texts constantly, and if it’s not got a qwerty keyboard, I’m not interested.

Good show. I almost bought a Carmenere recently, but for some reason didn’t. However, I just received a case of goodies from WL today including a bottle of Summers Charbono. Ever since I heard about that rare grape, I have wanted to try it. Can’t wait to crack it open. I put my own value case together looking at all of the 90+ ratings on WL and picking out no single bottle of wine more than $17. I chose one wine that I have tasted and enjoyed in the past, but 10 out of the 12 bottles were wines I’ve never had, so looking forward to the new experiences.

QOTD: My son is a Mac Genius for Apple so as you can imagine, I’ve been hearing about the iPhone constantly. He is lucky because Uncle Steve (Jobs) is giving every permanent employee of Apple and every part timer who has been there more than a year an 8 GB iPhone this month. He has given us the dog and pony show and I will have to say, it is an impressive device. However, it’s a little too rich for my blood and I don’t like the fact that it is only on the AT&T network. Besides, I love, love, love my Treo and don’t see any reason to walk away from it right now.

Cool epidose…first time to hear about Carmenere and looking forward to try some.
QOTD. iPOD! I actually I had one (nano) and I hated it because of the silly ear phones that never fits well!! Oh yeah, I might have to pay another 40$ for a decent ear phones, not to mention about the little protective rubber casing for the ipod that cost additional 30-40$..! So I actually gave my iPOD away to a friend, for free.
cheers,
