QOTD: I’ve been watching since your badge has been at corkd.com. And you know what? I think Cork’d has brought you the majority of viewers. In reward, you’ve bought it and KILLED IT. Period.

Hey Gary,
QOTD… I guess you can add me to the list of listener who discovered your show through your friends Kevin & Alex! Can’t say I watched all episodes since then though, it actually took me a while to understand and enjoy your words: I’m from the Old World, sacrebleu!

I started watching about a month before you were on Conan. I’m pretty sure I found you through Reddit.

Great episode Gary. Nice to see you get excited about some rather small producers. Pinot is good, but can be overpriced due to the hype.

QOTD: Was told about WLTV from a friend back in Sept. ‘07. Have watched every episode since and have seen all the past episodes still here on the site. Must say you bring a nice “Flair, as in Nature Boy” to the wine world. Keep doing what you love.

QOTD – I can’t remember exactly, but it was right after CellarTracker linked their database to your reviews. I got hooked because wine is supposed to be enjoyable and you definitely show that.

So why do you want to change the ’sniffy sniff’…I just got all my wine friends converted into saying it *grin*? Is there a better Gary V word for ’sniffy sniff’? Bring it on…

QOTD: Started watching ‘The Thunder Show’ in October of ‘07 from the Cork’d link.

I’m going to have to say it was Episode #348 – A Taste Of A 2005 Bordeaux. I was talking about wine with a co-worker of mine (computer industry) and he had mentioned “some crazy guy who ate dirt on Conan.”

I must say, I enjoyed that episode, and ever episode afterwards. Thank you for being such an entertaining voice in the world of wine.

Hi Gary,
I started watching you at episode #1.
In the early shows you could hear the camera man breathing and it covered over your voice almost completely. Big changes since then and we are all really proud of your rise to the top!
Thanks for many enjoyable programs.

QOTD: I have been overhearing your show since August 2007 because my husband is a big fan and it seems he’s always watching while I’m trying to cook dinner or generally get something done. But tonight was the first time I sat down and willingly watched an entire show. And guess what? I enjoyed it!! I will always remember “my first time” with the pinot noir episode.

QOTD: Not positive, I think around #200. Diggnation or some other podcast mentioned WLTV (pretty briefly IIRC) and I thought I’d try it out. Didn’t really take to it at first. I remember some of the episodes out soon after I heard about WLTV were from France and I found them nearly impossible to watch and listen to, but you gradually grew on me… still have to mute the sound when your sucking and swirling

I’ve been watching the show for about a year and really enyoy it. Overpriced Pinot Noir is a great opportunity to find unwanted merlot. How about finding some killer $15 Merlot(hint,hint). The only Lily wine I’ve had was a ‘01 Merlot that was also excellent. Sniffy sniff should be retired, let’s move on.
