Mr.Ambassador
Hey GV,

You’ve sparked my interest in the Lily Pinot Noir (enough so that I was opening another window on the computer to look up the winery info during the WLTV episode).

QOTD – I’ve been an active viewer since February 2007 (almost 1-year).

Another great show Gary. So glad you’re back. Withdrawal pains from last week have subsided. One of my friends insists that good PNs only come from Oregon. I’ll have to get a bottle of the Breggo to go up against her Patricia Green!
QOTD — I’ve been watching for a little over a month and look forward to every episode. There’s so much to learn about wine. Now, how did I find you?? Believe it or not, Ravelry.com, a website for knitters. In the Wine forum someone asked ‘Are you a Vayniac?’ Not knowing what a Vayniac was, I clicked on the link to your site and am hooked.

You really sold me on the Lily, I’ll be on the lookout for that one. It’s very interesting that you like that last wine even though it sounds like it has some Syrah-like enhancements; it totally makes sense to me–if it’s delicious, it’s delicious.

QOTD: I started watching WLTV when Scoble linked to it after the Vloggies in November 2006, but I didn’t watch it daily until sometime around June 2007.

QOTD: It was the Diggnation picks episode that got me over to your site, so #226 April 2007. Wow, I’ve been watching for 9 months already?? It was perfect timing as I remember saying that week I wanted to figure out what was so great about wine and why people are so into it. I’ve learned a lot, but my palette needs some work…a grad student can only afford 1.5 bottles a month on average!

BTW, I finally opened the Torrentes from the Thanksgiving pack and it was totally awesome cause it was so different from anything I’ve tried. I shoved it in a lot of friends’ faces just to smell it!

Keep it up. Looking forward to MWM’08 (March Wine Madness) at the lib!

I think it was back in September. A friend had talked often about you and I finally got high speed for the computer. Now I watch every day. I’m hooked.

I actually remember exactly when I started watching. Actually don’t know the episode # but it was the Super Tuscan one with Altesino Rosso di Altesino sometime in July 2007. I was pretty much hooked from that day on, and that episode is still my favorite. Great wine the Altesino too.

Had seen some earlier shows, but episode 182 made me a regular. Trying to explain it to friends and family was interesting (well there’s this guy sitting in the wind and snow and tasting wine…)

Glad to see the “sniffy sniff” is staying.

QOTD – not certain last September of 2007. My son in law advised me of the site and I’ve been watching ever since.

QOTD: Last September (or so). Article in Men’s Health about the podcast turned me to the show.
