    Watching (and lurking) since ep. 300 or so. Now I’ve delurked. I can’t remember how I found wine library, I think I was googling a wine name. Wish Maryland would allow receiving mailed wines, it is sometimes hard to find the wines mentioned at the local store.

    Nice show.

    QOTD: I started watching after seeing the article in New York Magazine which I think was last May. Haven’t missed an episode since.

    QOTD- maybe 8-10 weeks ago, in the low 300’s as far as the episode goes. I already have 2 tshirts, a wrist band and have purchased 5 or 6 cases of wine since. Found out about you through CellarTracker.

    I was introduced to your show and wine library .com by my neighbor December 28, 2008 when they invited us over to their house to watch and jointly do a wine tasting with your show. They linked up your show to their new HD TV, ordered the wines you were tasting, and along with you we did the wine tasting while watching you on their T.V. I am hooked!!!! Thankyou for bringing your expertise to the masses.

    I think it was an episode on california zinfandels, right before your Ellen appearance. I found a wine I was looking for on Wine-Searcher.com only at Wine Library, ordered it, joined the email list, then followed the links…got hooked and have since caught up on a lot of old episodes. It has definitely helped me to be more confident about selecting wine and not worrying so much about not liking something. :)

    QOTD: Found WLTV last spring when I was looking for Video Podcasts that I could watch on my AppleTV. So I rarely ever see a single MOTT-link, but I do watch the Thunder Show in glorious 55″ wide-screen format!

    Can’t remember the exact episode number, but it was immediately after you were mentioned in Diggnation. I was new to podcasts and weblogs and such and I had gotten an ipod for christmas 2006, so early 2007 was learning about all the content that I had never known existed. They mentioned you and I was immediately hooked.

    I started watching WLTV the Monday after Thanksgiving. I didn’t know much about wine, but I’ve learned alot since then. And I have not missed an episode since. Thanks Gary!

    Geez, lurking for months, now two comments on one episode!
    I’m gonna have to join in on the calls for a Mott, link it up! t-shirt or bumper sticker!

    Gary: what are you thoughts on non-Burgundy, old world pinot (PN from Austria or German Spätburgunder/Blauburgunder? Johann Heinrich “Weisses Kreuz” Pinot Noir from the Burgenland is very nice, but made in more of a New World style. Recently had a 2001 – nice secondary notes of sandalwood and spice on it.

    First episode was #56 when Robert Mondavi Jr was the guest. Like most Vayniacs, I haven’t missed an ep since then. Oddly, I told a couple of friends about it and they all responded that it was an entertaining show but none of them have joined the Vaynernation! (Unless they just don’t want to admit it.) Keep up the good work Gary – see you on the 29th.

    After I found the NPR archive clip, probably around October.

    Thanks for hitting the store pinots rather than the russian river mail order lot.

    QOTD: I started watching WLTV right around April of 2007. I’ve been a big fan ever since! I checked out doing the Skybus thing from Columbus, OH to NY–pretty decent prices–for the big ass Vayniac party. Gary, are you ready to handle the masses??? YOU bring the thunder. Thanks! I need to take a pic with the wristband. Guilty as charged LURKER! Be well.

    The 29th? If I still lived on the east coast I would be there, but I can’t make it.

    QOTD: I believe the first ep I saw was the Pizza Wine ep. #322 I think. I followed the link from diggnation.

    Thank god Sniffy Sniff is back. I thought you were gonna go mainstream. Colapsing and going smell would be like the main stream wine line.

    Keep it real.
