Don’t get discouraged by angry posts gary…anyone who can incorporate jumping the shark into something they do is ok by me!

Hey! I’m still watching… 😉

QOTD. For sure must be my lovely wife. You know a go-getter Ukrainian married to a laid-back Spaniard. I’m sure you understand.

Hey Gary –

Just wanted to say thanks for WLTV. I really appreciate how much of yourself you pour into each episode and into the community at large. It is frustrating when people believe they are simply entitled to everything you do for us.

QOTD: The negative reaction to the “Bonus Coverage” & Your humorous “Treasure-Hunt” response.

Best,
JW

GV, Don’t doubt yourself. I Don’t. Good show !

Crazies of all craziness…I go on vacation and come back to find the Vayniac nation turned upside down. GV- I like your free video blog better than the doubters free video blogs. I don’t know if you’ll read this later or not but keep pressing on man. Wow. QOTD: my 4 kids!

Always heard about Mollydooker wines, but never tried any. Thanks for the heads up, and I will look for the two left shoes.

QOTD: My fascination with wine and WLTV!

I love it, this is what it’s about. We’re changing the wine world aren’t weee.

Dude, where’s my Boxer? Fire your distributor.

Facebook ain’t my thing, not because I have any particular negative feelings, I just don’t want another account… I had to have my arm twisted to go from friendster to myspace, “that’s my website and I’m stickin to it.”

That said, I’m not offended/pissed/whatever in any way. Keep doin what you’re doin. Had a great time with you at the Vayniac party in SF, love watching your show, and have badged you up on my myspace. Keep doin what you’re doin!

Also, remember that only people who are pissed are likely to comment. The silent majority (LURKERS) couldn’t care less about facebook/twitter/whatever.

QoTD: My ’06 Gixxer 1000. 385lbs, 160+ hp. It’s a rocket.

Last thing: thanks for the trail of websites. I got some good laughs out of your “scavenger hunt.”

WOW…where do I start…
I totally understand & agree with the comments on facebook, myspace(stalkers paradise), badge & the like. I started with WLTV & will not go anywhere else for it. Dude I know you’re hip to this whole web2.0 stuff but come on.
As for the education, I think GV does what he can do in the given amount of time for an ep. There have been some marathon ep’s & I had to take a few breaks in them. He can do an ep focusing on education but that’s all it would be.
Its ok to voice your opinion’s here but lets not bash GV either. It seems like all the viewers are never happy. Again, facebook etc; aside, criticisms on the show or worse yet on Gary are just wrong. Think of how unappreciated he must feel. Every time I see the stuff he does for his loyal customers/viewers I appreciate him that much more. How many times have you received something for nothing? There are free lunches at WL. THis CAS promo is just sick. How many retailers do that? I’ve been around since the very beginning & have seen the community grow only to see the newcomers roll in with beer muscles talking shit. To be clear, I do not like the “friend me up” deal & wish it would stop but don’t hate on Gary or his dedication.

Yo GV big ups to you & your WL crew. Do your thing..
(just not the facebook thang :))

ps..the eHarmony comment is F’ing HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

pss..Brandon I’ll be talking smack as long as you keep wearing that damn hat..
psss…wanna hear something funny? I’ve b

Tried all of these Mollydooker wines at my local store. Couldn’t stand a one of them. The alcohol killed me after the first sip. Not on Facebook and don’t want to be so I won’t be seeing the rest of the episode. Showing this to my youngest who has just moved to Brooklyn and is interested in starting a young wine tasting group so I had to hook him up with Gary. What better way to learn about wines and be entertained at the same time.

Well folks I think Gary is having a good time and we may have all discovered some new things in the process. I’m always surprised how rough people can be on someone if they aren’t looking them in the face and don’t have to hear a reply. But, that’s kind of what I just did isn’t it. oh well. I come to the internet for fun, and I want it to stay that way.

Gary, thanks again for it all. I thought the web adventure was hillarious. thanks for taking the time to bring some levity to my stressful days. Cheers!!!!!

QOTD: My kid.

dude normally I’d never complain because you do this as a service (although I do spend a lot of money in WL due to this service) but the problem is that I watch the show as a vodcast on my commute so it’s a pain in the @$$ to have the episode on Facebook. I know I know I saw the garyissorry thing etc but I want you to understand I’m not just bitching because it take more time but rather I don’t normally watch these episodes online. That also explains why you’re getting a barrage of comments from me today. I write them all down my comments and answers to questions of the day while I watch in the bus just to make sure I’m not a lurker etc and I’ve even your cork’d friend and twitter buddy but I’m trying to let you know why the facebook thing annoys your iTunes friends.

Again I’m not mad… just being your friend and letting you know

OMG (oh my g-d for the non facebook generation). Since today’s episode has not posted yet, I decided to watch the infamous Mollydooker episode. Don’t know what people are complaining about. A Vlog is Web2.0 and you’re a Web 2.0 guy. If people don’t want to get with it and learn about new technologies and wine from you, too bad for being sourpusses! It’s like criticizing you for being on twitter!

In hindsight, I can see why you reacted to all the criticism with the garyissorry episode. After all the content and education you release for free!

I will admit that I do get the most out of episodes where you educate or express your point of view (such as your love of Riesling or unoaked chard’s) but overall I love watching your Vlog for you and the passion you bring. Keep it up!

Quite a review. Would of loved to see a review of Carnival of Love. I really like the Maitre D but it does stink of alcohol (initially) let this air off for fifteen minutes and it is a very complete wine. I really do believe it will be more balanced in five years. Bought a case from Sam’s in Chicago . We are all sold out here on the left coast. Love your format. Keep up the good work. You should have me on as a guest. Worked as a flavor chemist in my past life. Met people (flavorists) with incredible pallets.

I’m going through your archives and just came across this episode. I’m a bit of a lurker and this is my first comment. I haven’t read the others, so I’m sure there’re a MILLION saying this, but: Where the hell is The Boxer? It’s the GOOD $20 Mollydooker. In my opinion, it’s better than the Velvet Glove even. I don’t understand how it could’ve gotten left out. Anyway, I really, really love the show. Please (please!) keep up the good work.

P.S.- I tried to check out the Facebook vid, but couldn’t find it. Did it get taken down?

Re: Mollydooker, I found that the Marquises have put out a video describing how you must do the “Mollydooker Shake” before drinking (most) of their wines ->
http://www.mollydookerwines.com/web/mollydooker_shake.cfm
Perhaps you could test The Boxer and do the Shake first!

Keep up the great work, Gary! I have learned so much from you. The wine stores in (my) surrounding towns should be grateful as well as they have all this new business :-).

QOTD: Probably some of these red lipsticks I have that are way too OTT for me to wear. Of course Gary V. is OTT, especially in episode 275.

I’ve had 3 of their wines – 2 Left Feet – good! Boxer – VERRRRY Good! And the Goosebumps Sparkling Shiraz – KILLER GOOD!

I’ll be interested to see how my bottle of the Blue Eyed Boy Does.

Intresting wines. Too bad the first to were so high on alcohol. I’ll have to check out my local wine shop to see if they carry any, though/ QOTD: My sense of humor. I make a lot of strange and off the wall jokes at all times. Random behavior and antics…. you know, all that good stuff.

qotd- my love for ridge zins, my girlfriend, and wltv

Pretty neat having the other part in Facebook……

Thank you for this episode. I am not a fan of Mollydooker. I think the wines are way overrated. I was recommended the 2006 Carnival of Love a few years back at a wine store, and I thought I would give it a whirl. It had a ridiculous score (like 98 pts, I think), and was less than a bill. I dont think I have ever felt more ripped of by a high level wine. It was flabby, completely out of balance and one dimensional. I hoped with some time in the decanter the wine would show better, but it just fell apart even more. These wines are not meant to age, and are not my cup of tea at all. I prefer wine that has some depth and complexity, not just over the top lush fruit and 16% alcohol. I like some fruit bomb wines, and there are some awesome Australian wines out there, but not Mollydooker (or at least in my experience, I have not tried the velvet glove). I think you said it perfectly when you commented on the packaging and marketing of the wines. In that they have been very successful, and thats about all that the wines really bring to the table. This is the kind of wine that I really dont like, it doesnt let the vineyard speak at all, and is all about simple fruit. Its wine, for people that dont want to drink wine, that tastes like wine. Its a major pass for me. Great show, I thought it was interesting that the more midrange wines scored a bit better, but still not in line with all of the hype. As Public Enemy says “Dont believe the hype!” More and more becoming a big fan. I like your honesty.
