Half bottles are also good for CKCs who want to get into nicer wines for fewer dollars.

Great episode. I see half bottles around all the time and never give them much thought ( though I own a massive amount of 375ml dessert wines, but we’re not talking about that). This sheds some light into me noggin and perhaps I will snag one at the store one day. No point in doing the QOTD since Im light years behind and know you already have an opening to the show.

Warning! High adrenaline release in 5 â€¦ 4 â€¦ 3 â€¦ 2 â€¦ 1. Since Iâ€™m watching this episode 5 months late I doubt that my intro warning is timely. For every person who complains about your high energy intro there are several of us that appreciate it. You said youâ€™re thinking about having an â€œOak Monsterâ€ show. At first I got a little excided but it soon started seeming like a bad idea. Iâ€™m not cool with you trotting out my Oakmon just so you can slam him. Anyway in case youâ€™re looking for candidates, hereâ€™s some of my favorite oaky reds, theyâ€™re all reasonably priced and theyâ€™re each a different varietal: Kenwood Cabernet Sauvignon (I loved the mouth drying sensation of the 2004); Iron Stone Vineyard Cabernet Franc (the 2003 definitely wasnâ€™t aromatically challenged); Cune Rioja Crianza (2004 was deliciousâ€“lots of cherries); Rodney Strong Pinot Noir (this was my favorite back in the 80â€™s, I bought a couple 2006â€™s but I havenâ€™t started drinking 2006 yet. The last one I remember trying was 1982).

Just watching the archives and wanted to comment on this show (#357), it was awesome! Great energy, plus I really enjoyed watching a half bottle show. I recently went to Thomas Keller’s Per Se in nyc and had a half bottle of the 2003 Guiseppe Mascarello Monprivato Barolo, we freakin loved it..especially with the braised pork belly course. Thanks for the show!

if you ever change the into to wltv – I WILL LEAVE, and never come back! Yeah, you’ll miss me while I’m off watching the tv.crochet.com instead.

I cannot understand why anyone would drop out because of the intro. I think anyone who would, really takes themselves and wine a little too seriously. GV, I love the intro, and your enthusiasm in general. Please never change a thing!

Hey “dude”,

You can have your opinion on GV, but I’ll give props to someone who will blast a wine and call it junk, while having it standing on his stores shelves. I winery must clam up when they hear they were on WLTV.

Hey GV,
I would be hesitant to change anything. Look where you are. You’re reading e-mails from fans that have stuck with you . . is that a hint . . they’re still with you.
OK, maybe a variety of 15 minute spots with warning labels might help to reduce loss but I would say most people find out about your by word of mouth or surfing the cyberworld so they should get past the first 15 seconds.
great ep, Keep it up.
