Great episode! From the comments, it looks like you have a classic panhandler problem: give some people something for free and they will develop an almost violent sense of entitlement. Oh well, my parents always taught me to say thanks.

QOTD: my library of wine books and my growing collection of specialty wine glasses.

I really don’t see what the problem is here. Gary and WLTV can have a presence on as many websites as he wants. And so can each of us. There’s actually a photo of me and Gary on my Match.com profile!

Glad to see you still bringing the honesty like you always do. We just got in our allocation and I was curious what you thoughts were on these wines.

I feel like I’m a lurker. I haven’t responded in so long. The truth is you have inspired me to quit wasting so much time on the internet and spend more time with my family and more time tasting wine myself. Keep up the good work!

Are you going to taste the Blue Eyed Boy, Giggle Pot or Goosebumps? Never mind, I guess I’ll have to go to the other place?

Also I’m curious if you ever tasted this:

“Thatâ€™s all fine and good, but all weâ€™re learning to do is appreciate your palate instead of learning how to develop ours.”

People, this takes WORK you know. Fun work, but taste the wines, see if you agree with Gary, and whether or not you do, look for a trend. You don’t have to like the wines he likes, but if you know WHY you like or don’t like what he likes, that’s a help.

Taste a wine. See if you taste what Gary tastes (you mostly should). See if you like the wines he likes (you may or may not).

Or do you want him to move into your mouth?

Gary;I’ve been watching WLTV, for about a month.
I like the adrenalin rush of the show (that doesn’t mean that you need to have a heart attack in front of the camara every day),but what I really enjoy is the HONESTY of your opinions;that is rare in the wine business because is turning in to an industry very fast.
I am sure if you decide to move to an other web site or even become a “PRO” most of us will follow you, as a matter of fact I swallowed my pride and signed up for facebook…but I’m still more of a wino than a computer geek.

GV, I agree a lot w/ Jay.Not as far s losing my viewership so much as wanting a little more than a rant(not that I don’t enjoy the rants). Seperating wine by regions ei:difference between Napa/Sonoma weather and soil/ cote ‘d beaune/cote ‘d nuit etc…I guess I want you to teach me/us more about wine than just taste spit and say yea or nay.Maybe thats not what your vision for your show is.And by asking us all to facebook, cork’d etc…etc…You risk losing your faithful to chase after having as many internet friends/fans as possible. My QOD to you GV is…. “Where are you taking this whole thing. What is your vision for five years from now for GV and WLTV?

Hello everyone, Ive been reading the comments, I’ve been on facebook for 6 months now and the only “spam” I get is “xxxxxx has posted in your wall” and so on… NOT ONCE a single ad for viagra or penis enlargement!!!! well, I DO LOVE FACEBOOK !!!!!!!!!!

Harold, we’ve come a long way in Western Civilization to get the point where any discordant opinion equals “hate.” If you don’t see the difference, then yes, these ‘haters’ of which you speak will need to disappear in order for your simplified vision of the world remains stable. We all appreciate what Gary’s doing, that’s why we’re here. Gary can take honest criticism, he’s a grown up. What’s your excuse?

To all of the people who have a problem with the Facebook thing here’s a suggestion; don’t sign up for it. There problem solved see how easy that was? And before you reply but I’m missing out on Gary tasting Blue Eyed Boy…guess what? I have a feeling that you miss out on Gary tasting dozens of wines a day; how does that feel? Appreciate the show for what it is; don’t lament for what it isn’t. Thank you Gary; YOU are WLTV. Be true to yourself and WLTV will be just fine; even better without the haters.

Everyone take a chill pill…..remember Gary is changing the wine world….it doesn’t happen overnight. There will be ups and downs…some people love Facebook some don’t…big deal. Just enjoy the show, wnjoy the wine, and enjoy the craziness that is Gary V.

Peace out

Gary: With all the complaints about the Facebook thing, now would be a good time to thank you for what you do. The best deal with WLTV isn’t the free shipping or the schwag; it’s WLTV itself, and you give it to us for free usually 5 days a week. Anything else is just gravy. Thanks for all you do!

Gary, great episode, I have been looking for Molly Dooker locally and have not been able to find it. I will avoid the first two but if Two Left Feet shows it face I am there. As for the Facebook thing I am not sure about it. I just finished entering my cellar into Cork’d so I could friend you up. Promise us that you are not going to lead us through series of hoops only to wind up at an Amway presentation. I appreciate what you are doing, so please keep doing it.
QOTD My wife, she can’t sit still, we have had our current house for five years and she is redecorating again, this will be the fourth color the bedroom has been painted.

Wow, tough crowd, and now I feel (slightly) bad for being one of the people throwing rotten tomatoes at our man GV.

On the other hand, I think folks are reacting to the rapid “commercialization” of the show. Too many dang things to keep track of. I love you Gary, but I’ve got other (non-wine) forums to keep up with, too. Can’t spend my whole day being a Vayniac. From a couple of your posts, it sounds like you’re getting a little burned out, too.

Hang in there Gary, you’re still the highlight of my day. Just don’t sell out on me – keep it real, ya know??

Great episode on these seemingly over-the-top wines.

I await seeing your grandmother on the show.

I had both the “2 left ft” & “The Boxer” from last year’s vintage. Thought “The Boxer” was substantially better – much more multi-dimensional & better balanced. If this trend holds, that will be the bottle to get this year (as “2 left ft” was already the best of today’s bunch).

Sorry, just too busy to do the facebook thing – I can barely cram an episode of WLTV over a sandwich at lunch.

Gary,

You are fun, fresh and real. And I don’t mean fresh as in bread – you
are sassy and saucy and just plain hysterical. Continue to just be YOU
and the heck with people who want more from you. You give an awful lot
to those of us that love wine – perhaps the critics can do a show of their
own –
My Scottish grandmother always said – if you don’t have anything nice to say……….

I too love my sauvignon blanc – daily.
