QOTD: Being a founding viewer (Episode 1), I’ve learned that there are many other great wines out there to try (besides the standard from Cali). I’ve also put to use things mentioned like opening up a bottle and letting it breathe before taking it to a restaurant. All the things I’ve learned I’ve passed on to family and friends so YES I CAN save the show!

If the Thunder Cats can’t save the show then I’m afraid it’s hopeless…

Unless…

QOTD —- We’ve got to find Jason Hicks, or GV will stop the show (like he said in episode #200). Jason, oh Jason where art thou?????

Gary, you’ve help change the way I experience wine. We look forward to your show each day. Please don’t go!

QOTD: I give my 2 cents each episode.

QOTD: Gary’s love of wine and sharing his knowledge of tasting it. That will save the show, period.

Well I watched the episode early today and really enjoyed the tasting of wines/comparison to yesterday. This was truly a quality episode. Too bad there’s all hoopla about he show ending to detract from it.

GARY: it’s obvious that if you were to really end this show, somebody else is going to try and and do it in their own way. Maybe we’d end up with a whole bunch of “imitatiacs”. That would be a mistake for you and them. However, I don’t think the show will end. Your not that dumb, unless you have a major media gig lined up as some have suggested. Guess we’ll all just have to wait and see.

gary,

i’m not really for sure why you want to stop, maybe for personal reasons, if so, i understand. i guess i just think that logically you don’t really have a reason to stop. you have a great fan base, this show is doing great things for the wine world in general, and i think if you really wanted to you could do something on tv. but, i guess it’s none of my business. hope these episodes go well, and i guess after that i hope whatever you do goes well. i will say this, i won’t learn as much about wine if you go. and i love learning. so…i’m kinda shocked right now…don’t know what to say

QOTD: Can I save it? No, but I think if you stop, we know where you work…so look out!

Groovy experiment. I’ll have to start playing with my wine more.

Gary oh Gary,

You just hit it big in Canada – Hugh article on the National newspaper (Globe & Mail). You can’t quit now – your Canadian fans will be upset. My 12 year old just started to warm up to you ( after 100 + episodes….), and now you talk this nonsense….come on – tell us it ain’t so…

QOTD: Sure, I can save it. Who needs you I’ll just take over the show, with the addition of a big fat paycheck of course!

On a related note, I think I might get to stop by the store tomorrow! I’m heading down to Philly with my girlfriend for her 21st birthday and I made sure we chose the closest route!!

Got to believe that GV (if he is retiring from WLTV) is on to bigger things. He’s got too much energy and drive for him to quit now. I too believe that perhaps a regular TV show is in the offing – with the writer’s strike, everyone is looking for reality based, non-scripted shows. If that is not whats coming, then I would just say – Thanks for the best thing to hit the wine world in the last 20 years – and I’ll still shop at WL even without WLTV.

Well, you already have the support of 1000s of vayniacs, so it’s not a fan shortage problem. I know that taping the show 5 X per week could get tiring, especially after 2 yrs of doing that. If it’s just that you do not have the time, I suggest to tape just one 30 min episode each week where you taste 5 wines. This will keep the vayner nation alive … is it not what you want? Cheers

Gary,

You cannot be serious!! I have been so turned on by WLTV in the 2 months that I’ve known about it. I have learned so much. I have spent hours talking to my 27 year old son about it (proud to say I introduced him to you). It has become part of my routine to watch your show, and I feel so much better about tasting wines myself. Plus, you are damn entertaining. I’ve already planned a visit to WL before next Thanksgiving, when I visit my parents, who live in Edison. I live in South Dakota now, damn it, I know you’ve got something up your sleeve. Good luck whatever it is, and I really do trust that you will not dessert all of us.

Wow…while I only just found the show last week – if nothing else I’m glad I made it here in time for the ride. Kinda feels like tasting a really great wine only to discover the bottle you’re drinking is the last one in stock.

QOTD: I suppose we can save it (and we’ll jolly well have to) by living it…

Gary….enough of the tease. I remember you saying at the end of 2007 that you wanted to change up the show in 2008. You indicated that there would be more guests, more discussion on food and wine pairings, etc. Maybe that’s what this is all about….you are merely preparing us for a change in the show’s format.

I for one, enjoy the show and try to watch every day. Being relatively new to the wine world, you have taught me a great deal and I want to learn more. Show me that I’m right and that you are just having some fun with all of us. Keep it going long after Episode #400!

Oh no, HGTV would be so mainstream! Besides we cancelled TV due to lack of interest. It almost makes you want to toss your wine down the drain–almost!

Gary,
You are our only hope. We heart the show, not Huckabee!
You are a straight shooter, like Ace Ventura. If you are getting tired, mix it up a bit. Conan O’Brian was tired, now he mixes it up!
Go Tar Heels!

I just got into WLTV around Nov. I just got my wristband (thank you Gary, and yes I will send a pic), I just caught up watching all the archives, and I have told anyone who listen about the show, and I feel like I am just settling into being a Vayniac, and now my world has been torn apart. Well, maybe not torn apart but, damn, I just found out about WLTV and just like that it may be gone. I guess timing is everything. I have no idea how to save the show. All I know is that I comment on a regular basis, I signed up with facebook and became a friend of Gary’s, I told everyone I know about the show, I where the wristband everywhere hoping to meet other Vayniacs, I am trying new wines and really exploring different grapes, and I am hoping this will help save the show. I don’t know if it will or is enough or what you might be looking for but I hope so.

Glad you made the recommendation and will look for that wine. You do know we really appreciate what you do on the Thunder Show, right?

QOTD: We might….if we knew a bit more why it needs to be saved.

GV- You leaving the Thunder Show is like Carson’s retirement. We really didn’t know what it meant, we just knew it was an end of an era. You should not close the door on the show, just put one of your proteges on and make an appearance from time to time…like Johnny did with Leno.

If you need a pinch-hitter, give me a ring………

So I flew to LA (from VA) on Wednesday, and what happens? I missed the show, it’s raining like crap, and the show if going kaput? Can’t I ever go anywhere anymore?………….[this is an early April fools joke. Right?]……………………otherwise, I’m bumned……big time.

Have not posted anywhere as near as much as should do….
have a feeling if all of us who enjoy, respect and gain any sort of pleasure from what gary has offered to this comunity of wine drinkers, peolple who have discovered, found and now apreciate wine or even soley for entertainment value that this show provides, show their passion and love for what has been started by this show, we tofether can try and save winelibary tv.

My promise will be, as a faithful vayniac, to answer any QOTD, comment on every show from here on in and to try and get as many people as possible to realise the fun that wine can bring to your life.

That is to say as long as family, friends or loved ones dont come first, not even a 61 petrus could take me away from them. Have to admit it would be a close call though

Please carry on Gary, and who is with me?

Gary, say it isn’t so. You should keep doing the show until the Jets win a Superbowl!
