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.

Hey Mr. V
Happy new Year. I love your show. I have recently enjoyed you bringing your Father on. And the show recently from your house. I like a different set once in a while.. it’s refreshing. When’s your Mother coming on?

GV – Having just jumped on your bandwagon, I know that I’ve entered a new phase on enjoying and learning about wine. Thanks for everything past, present & future.

Although, my sad azz state (IL) is one of many dropping like flies to greed and ignorance, I will not be beat. I have already strategized on how to get the wonderful offerings WL has that I cannot find here. Will it be a major pain – yes. Will it be well worth it – you bet your stocks worth of ‘05 CDP it will be.

Thanks again and here’s to a great and prosperous ‘08.

Gary, Thanks for a wonderful adventure! It has been a wine-filled 2007 and I’m so looking forward to more great wines in 2008!! Watching you has been totally addicting and I hate when I miss your show. I have learned soooo much and passed on as much as I could remember!! Looking back you can see how much the show has evolved into a wonderful informative outlet for wine lovers!
May 2008 bring you & your family healthy and happy times. Thanks for all you and your crew do…its AWESOME!!!

I discovered WLTV late in the year and regret I live in a state (PA) where I cannot purchase wine from Wine Library. Have a prosperous New Year!

Happy New Year to Gary and the crew at Wine Library.

It’s been a great ride…I’ve been lurking since you’ve started. Your shows have more than educated me on quite a few different types of wines that I would have never thought to try…and you back it up with your extensive inventory at such great prices. Kudoos to all at Wine Library!

Keep it coming Gary…looking forward to a healthy, happy and wine-a-plentiful 2008 with you, the king of Vayner Nation, and the Vayniacs!

QOTD: Having a happy and healthy New Year with a good time spent enjoying my family: enjoying how special it is that we’re all here on planet earth, not forgetting for one minute how lucky we are.

Great episode! Congrats on your 2007 success.

I am the guy who left the WLTV request on your Facebook asking for a Wine of the month club/WLTV tie in.

What do you think people? Can we get Gary to start a wine of the month club where we subscribe and get two or three wines a month and then a week later, those are the wines he features on the show?

I want to be able to play along!!

QOTD — I discovered WLTV in late October, and it’s a lot of fun. Your passion for wine, coupled with candor and keen insights from the tastings, keep me coming back for more. Gary, you rock. Best wishes in the new year.

Interestingly enough, Oz Clarke says Antao Vaz makes mostly bland wines… based on quick googling, looks like they still haven’t tracked origins of the varietal, but it’s been around for a very long time. Cool.

QOTD: Just starting watching in November-ish, digging the show. I’ve always enjoyed good wine, but this year was the perfect storm for me – met a couple of folks that I work with that are into wines, reconnected with a great friend of mine that is a certified somm, and found the Thunder Show! It was always a somewhat intimidating world, but GV and the crew at WL have done a great job in producing this show and showing folks that it’s not about the WS or RPs of the world telling us what to drink, but spending some time learning what you like and getting edumacated. I dig it – way to go GV and crew keep up the great work. When can we buy schwag here in Canada?!

Thoughts on WLTV – I’ve not been viewing as long as a year, but since going back and watching the earlier episodes I’m impressed by the energy you still put into the show. Keep that going and I’ll stick around, because it’s refreshing to see someone so into what they do and not trying to change it too much with unecessary gimicks or flash marketing (you can keep that for the TV appearances!).

Move forward by staying as you are

Nice touch on the Wrist-band slide-show, although you kept me hanging on ’til 32:36 before mine, I thought you’d missed me out! (& I see Paul got about half a dozen of his in!!).
