I enjoyed the show. We had a Cartuxa red a few years back and it was an excellant wine! My Mother-in-law comes from the same region(Alentejano).I agree, Portugal is definitely up and coming.
Gary and crew, thnaks for all the hard work and time!

Loving the thunder show!

I’ll have to get into gear and catch up with my WLTV episodes post the holidays!

Looking forward to heaps of 2008 shows ;).

2007 was the year I stumbled across wltv, I’ve learned to trust my palate 100% and am getting better at not cringing when hearing Aussie places pronounced differently than I am used to! Discovering as my palate grows, my cellar is beginning to not look so appealing, well the more recent purchases are pretty good.

Keep up the good work GV! (and the crew at WLTV, esp Mott!)

“Mott, Link it Up”
I think its about time for the Vayner-Nation to stand up for the unsung hero of the show. Mott deserves something and if its not going to be a t-shirt then maybe a wrist band or a hat. In order to “incentivize” Gary, I say that we GO ON STRIKE…NOBODY POST ANY COMMENTS UNTIL MOTT GETS A T-SHIRT (or something similar)!!!

It will be anarchy…”human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together - mass hysteria”.

GV:
I became a Vayniac during 2007, therefore this is my inaugural year. It was great watching the various episodes mixed with laughs and good wine.

If I were to sum up 2007, it was a year that brought me out of a “lull” in the wine world. In the period from 2002 to 2006 I had built up a collection of wines from zero and I was buying and collecting at a heavy rate.

Then I had to move from NC to MA and with the move and a new job, I probably wnet through a one yea period of little activity in wine.

Your show inspired me to get more interested in wine again. However, I am not doing so to increase my collection. I am looking for wines that bring the thunder without breaking the bank. I like the way your show brings a practicality to wine. Even if you could afford a $100 per bottle “house wine”, it would make the really good wines a little less special. Who needs to spend 100 bones on a wine when you can find some thunder below $50 or $30.

Therefore, I consider myself to be a consumer of wines with an eye for a high QPR, rather than just building the collection to x thousand bottles.

Have a GREAT 2008!

Happy New Year to all Vayniacs. I’m in Virginia Beach VA. What an awesome year GV. Like having a personal tasting 5 days a week accompanied by jugglers and plate twirlers. Loved it.

Awesome! A fantastic year. Thanks for the pumpkin pic, but what about the wedding one? It took me about an hour to do the pumpkin, but the wedding was 10 months in the making! (and the wristband pic a major factor) Maybe if I was naked or holding a knife, a puppy or small child (really, kids with wristbands & bottles, a little creepy) That’s alright, I was a fat bride anyways.

P.S. The Vaynernation needs a gang sign, something to flash while showing off their wristbands–maybe a combination of the peace sign, westside & the shocker! (double check the slide show, I saw the shocker!)

Happy New Year to Gary V, the staff at WL and everyone in the WLTV community. You know you are part of the community if you have tried to explain WLTV to friends and family, who proceed to act if you are speaking in a foreign language.
Can’t wait for the increased food involvement in the show.
Judging by the location photos in the montage, we think the next schwag item should be along the lines of a Gary V Roaming Gnome (without the pointed hat, maybe a Jets cap). Take it along and show us where you’ve been .

Gary, Thanks for a fascinating and entertaining exploration of wine. I’m sorry that the state-run Pennsylvania monopoly doesn’t carry the vast majority of wines you sample. Someday this foolishness WILL be abolished. Until then, I’ll keep trying with out-of-state finds and hints from you.

Happy New Year!

You’ve had a fabulous year. I think you’ve done a great job at thinking up new show themes that are more than just gratuitous novelties. I wait in awed expectation for the 2008 surprises.
