    QOTD – My prediction is that you will come to Toronto on Feb 24th, tape a WLTV show at the Knicks Raptors game and then we will have a radool tasting afterwards……get this sh*t together Gary!!!!! ;)

    QOTD…. i think GV will
    1. have blood spat with guest Bob Parker on new world bombs
    2. dedicate 25% of the shows to be on 05 Bordeaux
    3. be business as usual on WLTV because it’s GV’s passion & is good for the core business, right???

    Link it up MOTT!! Make this shirt, with the WLTV logo…
    Gary I hope you continue doing the thunder Show right here on WLTV. but maybe you can make some extra bones if you link some other businesses up… but don’t go too crazy…

    QOTD: I think in 08′ your internet viewership will continue to rise. I could eventually see an offer from the Food Network at some point, which I hope you would decline. I would hate to see you go “Rachel Ray” on all of us and get your mug scattered all over the TV. I don’t want to hear every grandmother and housewife throwing out “sniffy-sniffs.” Peace

    I can’t wait to try to Mahi, though I can’t order wine for awhile. Our wine rack is full and our apartment is small :(

    QOTD: Where will winelibrary tv be? I love the Friday guest slot idea. More updates on the Vayniac cab? Could you do an episode on the effects of aging on wine, maybe with something you have your own tasting notes on say 5 or 10 years ago and try it again now?

    QOTD: I think WineLibraryTV will probably get a lot bigger amongst the “21-35 / at least some college” demographic IF A) Gary keeps doing apperances in big media and B) the producers and executives are looking and made aware of growth of the wine industry.

    I’ll admit, some of the potential for WineLibrary to get really big depends on wine makers and related businesses’ willingness to spend ad dollars. WineLibrary.TV is already regarded by the shows (Nightline, Conan) spotlighting it as THE big show about wine. And as the wine industry and/or luxury goods industries start to put more marketing dollars into television/internet advertising, Winelibrary will see a continued rise. It may even be immune to recession given the fact that internet is a very trackable medium (but that’s a whole other discussion).

    I hope all that makes sense.

    OOOPS!

    I meant Food TV, not Foot TV.

    Foot TV would be that traditional wine crushing channel.

    Great Show!

    QOTD: For 2008, I am thinking an episode taped from the WL Super Tasting. It would have to begin with the camera panning across every bottle out to give Vayniacs a true idea of what an awesome event it really is. Prizes to Vayniacs who show up with any kind of Vayner-nation id.

    I see Gary going far this year, with the continued expanding of America’s culinary awareness, which is evident from the continued sucess of Foot TV, and the myriad of other food/wine inspired programs, as well as the number of stores geared towards the gormet food (Chef-Central, BB&B, Williams-Sonoma) and wine enthusiast (upscale “liquor stores” that have begun to really branch out their wine selection).

    With America begining to experiment with so many different cuisines, cultures, and tastes, the wine world is right there with it. With the food/wine episodes that Gary is starting to increase, I think Food TV is a distinct possibility. It really doesn’t have any programming that focuses on this particular subject. For instance, the wine & steak show had me drooling for a Medium Rare New York Strip. Knowing what to pair with everything from Mexican to Thai to Sushi, in addition to the tradional French, Contemporary American, and Italian pairings, would be welcome on my TV set indeed.

    To everyone, have a Happy Holiday Season and a Safe and Prosperous New Year.

    Mmm, El Nido. Gimme fruit! *making a note to pick up the Mahi at work*

    QOTD: For 2008, I expect more contests, more interaction – hopefully including more “taste-alongs” – and more on-site shows, like the cellar one. That was really cool.

    I predict Vayniacs coming together in groups across the country (as some of us have in Madison!) and one of the contests including a group tasting/taping.

    I am also hoping 2008 brings some wonderful and much-needed changes in SHIPPING LAWS so I can ship WineLibrary to Wisconsin! Stupid archaic rules.

    Great episode. I like it when GV tackles a variety of sought-after, interesting wines. (Themed, regional shows are good, too, but I’d like to see a show like this every week or two.)

    Great show! Speaking of Mott shirts. I’d wear one. You gotta do something!

    QOTD: I see you bringing in guests. Mostly I predict that you will try to keep things as they flowed this year. I don’t see anything happening next year that would be too too major, just my thought.

    I agree about the Clio….not what I expected.

    You should make Oak Monster tee shirts….HEEEACH!!!!!

    QOTD: Roadshows!! Come over to my town Gary! The Bay Area loves ya! I also predict you will have a kick ass 2008!

    QOTD: GV wins a Nobel Prize in Chemistry for isolating the perplexing molecule that makes wine smell like cat piss.

    Hey gary, what ever happened to the fabled restaurant tour of 2007? We should see if we can get that going. We have some awesome places here in boulder that you need to come visit.

    QOTD: More guests and remote shoots. Love it – mix up the format a bit.

    QOTD: More guests on the show during 2008, shows done on location. Gary does an educational (and entertaining) wine dvd. And approval and stocking of the Mott Link it Up T-shirt, too.

    QOTD: WLTV will continue to deliver great shows with no BS and teach us about wine.

    I’m anxious to try the Mahi.

    QOTD: Gary will continue to follow his star. He will retire the catchword “radool”. A show will be taped from a box at a Jets game. As always, free shipping if they win.

    good episode today Gary! when will the show be back from the holidays?

    QOTD: I dont really know where the show is going. I’m sure it will continue to grow in popularity and awesomeness… perhaps more TV appearances by gary? either way, the show will continue to rock! Thanks Gary!

    QOTD: My advice for 08′ Keep doing what you’re doing. With the vayniac cab, the show, and the family, I’m sure you’ll have enough to do. I think you should focus on wine and not the celeb factor. Start mixin and making the JUICE! With your growing name, people will want it on there bottles.
