Way to preach it up GVNC! Reflection is good for the soul.

Pop it, sip it, drink it, chug it, bong it (I’ve actually seen it happen)!

I like my cherries like I like my…aaahhhh…firm. I like them firm.

Love the Malbec, but $10 bottles more my speed.

QOTD: Relax with good friends, good wine, and good conversation.

Gary,
7 more shows! Thats Crazy! I know I will have 400 shows to look back on and enjoy but you can’t leave yet.
Anyways I also prefer cherries “firm” and I enjoy wine party’s, a little Wii action and traveling. (also watching Wine Library!)

As life goes, all good things must come to an end. Thanks very much for sharing your time and knowledge.

First off, I know you, Mr. Vaynerchuk, and I call shenanigans and BS on your 7 day comment.
#2) Firm cherries, baby.

QOTD: I love to study and perform improv and dramatic performance, distance run, taste new, unique wines and cuisine, go wine shopping for values, take short road trips with friends, breathe the fresh, clean air after the rain on a Spring day, go swimming at a lake where my family vacations each year, cooking, and spending time laughing and enjoying the company of family and friends as often as possible… and watching WLTV 5 times per week for 2 years hasn’t been so bad either.

Man, this sucks, I’ve only been watching for a few months and I’ve just started to enjoy some wines and Garry wants to pull the plug? You know the feeling when you find this great show on TV and just when you start to like it a lot, it gets canceled? Yeah, that’s pretty much how I feel.

Are you not concerned about the sellout name calling and downward spiral of support from your fans if you’re going to tv or another distribution medium that not as freely available as your video blog? Don’t you think you’d get more respect, support and recognition going forward with the show just the way it is? I’d just hate to see you turn into one of those Food Network guys that puts their name on everything just to make more money even though they already wipe their butts with $100 bills.

Make the right choice and make us happy, keep the show going… yeah I know it’s selfish but I’m not ready to let go hahaha

I certainly hope you are kidding GV! Finally Mark Gastineau makes an appearance, I had a huge crush on him when I was young.

qotd: I love to read and learn.

Gary – ever thought of doing a show with blind tastings? We’ve found that labels and price affect what many people think of wine.

Cheers,

Alright now I love this show, the spa is FINALLY about the open and quite frankly I’ve just about gotten my life back to normal…. GARY, you can NOT be serious……. I mean seriously!!! Don’t leave me – I have so much more to learn!!!

Surely, you must be joking around or morphing the show or something but not doing any more shows just isn’t a possibility! Cut back, we could all appreciate and understand that – but ONLY doing 7 more, that’s not cool Gary!

QOTD1: firm absolutely firm
QOTD2: chill with a great glass of vino, fantastic friends and family, great food – that’s what makes life worth it, don’t you think?

QOTD: I love to taste new wines, cook great food, write music, hug my daughter, travel with my wife, waterski. Life is good.

Gary – if you really are only up for 7 more shows, I don’t blame you. I’m sure you have other things that require your time. You’ve obviously made a huge impact, and you should be really proud of the work you’ve done. IF you change your mind, I’ll look forward to more. If not, good luck with whatever you’ll be passionate and energetic about next. Have to admit though – it was a shocker.

QOTD: hang out & joke around with my kids; canoe/kayak; exercise, run races, lift weights, play sports; make love; read nonfiction books; wander thru forests in the springtime or summer; eat chocolate, pizza; drink wine, coffee; flirt with women; listen to music; …..this list could be really long, because life is good, and there are so many things to love to do.

I hope you’re kidding about only doing 7 more. I just found you last month!

QOTD 1: All cherries are good, though I favor firm.

QOTD 2: Hiking/climbing on a cool crisp day, followed by a glass or two of wine on the terrace of my favorite local winery. Both nice alone, but even better with a friend.

Hey G, what’s this all about 7 more shows!! Unacceptable! We’ll assemble all the vayniacs and march in thousands to WL and force you & Mott to tape the shows .
I like to read, swim, experience the great outdoors, and of course drink wine… Cheers
