I love the old intro’s with that Vikings Fan screwball. Absolutely hilarious! I wish you had more of those. I think intro’s with a comedic feel are very attractive and appealing. There’s my two cents, thanks!

Gary, I am an old fart, 60 years, do not change you into. This is you and I love it. What is wrong with these people. Love your young daughters. Enjoy every moment you can with them. they grow up all to soon.

Hey Gary. Don’t change a f’in thing. We live the intro. “hello everybody” rocks. My kids will be very disapointed. My son, Reed(8), came out of no where with- “Dad, I liked the ‘weather they like it or not’ better than, ‘aren’t we’. I thought that was funny. My daughter is going around yelling YAH-NER-CHUK!!!! Pretty cute! Keep bringin’ the thunder to the table, my friend.

Gary,

Keep the opening. It marks that this is not your ordinary, snooty, pretentious wine show. This is about wine being fun. Keep the opening. Look at early shows with the sedate opening and recent shows with the current opening. The big opening is better.

gary – thanks for the half bottle show. they are quite useful for a weekday dinner when i am on my own. boxed wine is also useful in this way – how about doing a show on those?

Gary, do whatever you want with the opening of the show…I trust you! Hey, it just keeps getting better with time, so keep it up!

ship to canada?! hell yeah!!
let me know if you’re really doing that

Thanks as always. Keep up the good work.

QOTD: Don’t cave in to pressure–this happens to everyone who gets a high profile (politicians, comedians, songwriters). I agree: go with your gut; personally, I’m here for the Very Gaynerchuk show and don’t care about intros one way or another. If you wanna throw in a new intro here and there, that’s fine–don’t worry about losing market share. If that puts people off, too bad that they don’t get it. Sometimes it’s not about numbers (!). Sometimes it’s about being true to yourself and your original vision. Start watering that down to cater, and, well, it’s a slippery slope. You created the show. Keep doing it your way, and the people will show up. Know what I’m sayin’?

QOTD: Love the “Hello everybody…” intro, it’s signature. I also enjoy the Vayniac videos intros, lame or not, they are fun. Maybe do another “educating your palate” episode and include things that were not on the first one (things people mentioned in the comments). How about a location based episode, get out of the office.

I don’t buy enough half bottles. So much less selection.

You ARE weird Gary… but that’s why you rock! If you weren’t different, you’d be boring like all the other wine nerds in the industry and who needs more boring?!? Mix it up, change the beat! Great show. Keep it up.

sorry, but fill me in here, what’s to like about boxing?

I live alone, so I drink alone almost every evening (a glass or two with dinner). So a 750ml lasts me 2-4 days. (seldom 4…. usually just 3). Almost every wine I drink is better the second & third days- and I don’t Vaccuum-Vin or whatever, just cork it back up and refridge it. Given that, I think a half-bottle would make my wine experience LESS fulfilling.

QOTD: forget the disclaimers – you’re doing fine. A few complaints out of how many thousand viewers? I’d bet for every person turned off by your intro, another TEN are intrigued / fascinated / psyched by it.

Don’t give up the intro! It’s what make you, you! Thought I’m gonna try to come up with a warning intro for you soon.

WE CARE GV, WE CARE!!!! keep being gv. your up beat energy is great and newbies will adjust, no need to go middle-of-the- road, that’s where critters get squashed.

They say “Ore-uh-gun”, accent on “Ore” in Oregon. Also in WA, CA, all over the west into the plains states into the midwest down through the south up the east coast and around Jersey, all the way to Maine. Jergheeeeunssssss.B.unique

To “Soyhead” a few comments down, go see “Cinderella Man”.

QOTD: I happen to like the beginning of the show, but I trust you will do the right thing. You can’t please everyone, and sometimes it may be better not to. If people are turned off by the beginning maybe they are not the type of people you need watching anyways.

I believe if you have a true heart with good intentions, you can let the chips fall where they may and good things will happen.

Hey GV,

I was entertained by the show intro’s from the start. Part of what originally intrigued me was the fact that you were a “down-to-earth” guy with upbeat energy; somebody most everyone can quickly relate to! I wasn’t looking for another cork-dork or wine-snob and your personality makes viewing the show that much more enjoyable.

I’ve recommended WLTV to all my friends and work-buddies because there’s no intimidation factor and I’m convinced all the viewers can both learn and be entertained. Your energy lets everyone know you’re excited about wine and gets the viewers pumped for what’s about to follow.

If you want to slap a warning label on anything how about any televised Jets game (HA!)

QOTD: Keep going strong bro. More South African wines!!!!

Don’t sell out and be reduced to the common denominator. People either like you or they don’t. If they are that closed minded, then you don’t need them. Or have you been feeding us a bunch of bull? Practice what you preach and don’t cave in.

GV – Little slow on my episodes – but good to see a show on halves. I often have to open a bottle solo – so good to hear your thoughts!

QOTD: When I first started watching WLTV, I didn’t like how you talked about all the miscellaneous stuff like the jets, e-mail, birthday’s, etc. in the beginning of the show…it would be nice to start out with the wine, and then all that other stuff at the end, so we can skip it if we want to.

I would love to find more 1/2 bottles that we like. WOTD: Dont change anyting. The show is great. Forget those losers.
