Quintessa is a great winery to visit. Awesome, classy tasting room. The winery is macrobiotic which is a bit unusual right now, but growing in popularity. The tasting/tour costs a bit, but you get a nice glass of wine and some cheese as well. Been there twice, and enjoyed it each time.

Hey Gary, I bet you $2 my 2011 prediction comes true.

QOTD - In 2008 WLTV will become a reality TV show which is no longer about the wine (you can already see evidence of this in 2007). Mott will become the host and everybody at Wine Library will be forced to live in the store. However, in 2009, WLTV2 will come out and run in parallel to WLTV because the true Vaniacs want shows about wine. And then eventually in 2011 WLTV2 will also become a reality TV show this time starring the entire offensive line of the Jets and will have nothing do with wine whatsoever.

Seriously, it is already bumming me out.

Oh, and also in 2011, wine will become passe and everyone on Facebook will be panning it. Ha! No more Diggs either! What then?

Interesting comment that you made toward the end of the show - sit around read a book, do a crossword, then taste the wine again. That sounds like my Sunday afternoon!

Prediction for 2008 - GV will invite more guests to join him on the Thunder Show! I have been watching for a while and I have noticed more guests lately, whether it is in the WLTV hizzie, or on the road (NYC Tour, Cellar, etc.).
Although you rock GV, it is really cool to see you interact with your guests and get an additional perspective.

Peace out…..

Nice wines, good show.

QOTD - I’m generally not good at predictions, so let’s be happy with you still doing the show and me still watching it, OK?

Im a few days late on all this stuff but seriously…REALLY need a Mott Link it up shirt. FOR SERIOUS!

QOTD: Wow, I feel like my prediction might be a bit…boring…hopefully some sort of full integration with Cork’d? More viewer questions? More of the same awesome show that doesn’t bow to the other ratings and doesn’t tell you WHAT to do (other than to drink for yourself). That’s what I think.

Oh and buy the Jets. seriously. Maybe then they’ll beat the skins. yeah, actually probably not!

What do you do with the wines after tasting them? Hopefully share them with the staff. Or does Mott just take them home?

Some really good wine descriptors in this episode. Can you really have too much cleave?!?! Whoâ€™s up for some action?!

QOTD: Even money you start having a lot more special guests. Head out to a lot more places, including out of state. And make a fair amount of TV appearances, if not on your own show.

Humm, my prediction regarding the status of your shows coolness would be on the rise I should think

QOTD (Take 2): By the way, I have noticed that when you’re on a roll like you have been lately, WLTV end up being around 20-25 minutes in length. This means that, with appropriate commercial breaks, it would fit perfectly into a 30 minute slot on, say, oh, I don’t know, perhaps the Food Network. So that’s my prediction - WLTV moves to the Food Network in 2008.

Superb show, as usual. I really enjoyed you taking off on the Clio. Nice! Actually, I was surprised that four of the five wines showed so well for you.

QOTD: My prediction for WLTV in 2008 is that Lizzie will finally make an appearance on the Thunder Show!

QOTD: viewership doubles…then trebles…then WLTV not only changes the wine world, it takes over the wine world.

Nice job, GV! Liked this show a lot. Entertaining description of the Clio.

QOTD: You will have a Jet as a WLTV guest in 2008!

I predict in 2008 more on-location episodes, out in the fields and in wineries, and a continuing level of stimulation for the viewers.

Great show again!

QOTD: 2008? You need to get involved in a restaurant. I think with your knowledge of food, wine, cheese, service, etc., it would be a no brainer. Maybe just as a consultant though, as your present time is very limited…

I predict that Gary will be the proud father of a beautiful baby girl Vayniac!!! I say…once we find out that Lizzy is pregnant we do a Champagne pack with free shipping!!!
