QOTD: I’m gonna fly a banner over my town that says “Check out the Thunder Show” with a link to my web site http://www.bringingthethunder.com that has the best episode of all time. Then I’m gonna buy a bunch of Adwords and link them to the site and fill the site with the new badges. Then I’ll run a contest on the site to see who wants to win a bottle of Pinot Noir. The winner of the bottle of pinot noir will then tell all their friends and the Thunder Show shall grow!!!!!!!

Like this?

Top 20, Intersting episode.

Very good ep – I liked the range of wine selections, and sure, add falafel to the party and it’s a guaranteed good time (a local place used to serve ‘em with a homemade hotsauce that had smokey, perfumed wood qualities (not the Oak Monster – I’m talking hot sauce) and have never found a place since that serves them with that option, but I digress…).

Top 20. Not bad. Did you all catch GV on Eyewitness News tonight? Did you see his article in the Washington Post? Pretty soon he’s going to be running for President!

SoCalDaveBandito
I saw the Washington Post article. Very nice.

My question is…. How can the 400th show be the end AND the kickoff to a “Spread the Thunder” contest? Hmmm. Could GV be full of S***?

I thought so.

QOTD: In the words of the immortal LOLCats, “Iz gots to haves me an Apple TV”, so I’ll be blogging about it….

The Fanjestic
Too late Gary! But I like the late episodes, isn’t that weird?

QOTD: Heck yeah I will be participating, but not because of some giveaway – I just want the Thunder Show to grow. I started watching the show out of curiousity, but now I can honestly say – That I want to help change the wine world. But more importantly, help make this a WINE WORLD!!!

Good episode Gary!

Im a vegetarian and i dig Viognier, thanks for the effort.
January 30, 2008

Machine
Thank you very much, GV, for doing a meatless episode! The likely future Mrs. Machine is of the veggie persuasion. My personal experience has been that the tastiest foods are often the most cruel, but we’re discussing starting to eat in more and she’s a better cook…
January 30, 2008

JonE
Falafel wines is a great idea, perhaps a way of life. I’m so with you on the alsace. There just so many good houses-Deiss, Ostertag, Zind-Humbrecht, Kuentz Bas, Weinbach-how could you go wrong?

QOTD: Email a show to my boss who’s the king of cool, and by next week you’ll be big in Japan.

You’re little tangent about rosÃ© in Provence took me back. I had exactly the same experience. Sitting around talking with an old french guy who was smoking a pipe while enjoying a bottle of rosÃ© and taking in the view and smells of Provence. It’s an incredible place.

For my part in spreading the thunder I plan on creating an actual electrical storm. It will be very Tesla-esque on the nose.
January 30, 2008

GREAT SHOW!

QOTD: Yes, don’t know how yet but even if I get one other person watching then I will be pleased.

Got to go check out this Eyewitness News business that everyone is talking about, see you guys tomarrow!

if you leave any wine oxidized for 5-6 days it will start falling apart no question regardless of the producer or grape. theres a reason restaurants dont sell their great producers and wines by the glass.
love the wine selection today, definitely agree 15%+ alcohol is just way too much for any wine especially an “elegant” viognier varietal.
QOTD; been spreading the word, got my step father watching the show, as well as my best friend, whom have no obsession like i have for wine, but share a common interest.

I don’t know, I’ll have another glass of the pink stuff and think about it.

I am a semi vegetarian. The GewÃ¼rztraminer sounded good but I personally like the reds. In fact I used some of the Lily you tasted last week to tart up some vegetarian chili. And to thin out some tomato sauce for a lasagna. Very tasty! And it well with both dishes,too. Proseco would be a nice white.

Woah, lots of energy today! I’ve got whites on the brain now.

Awesome episode GV! It was great to see you riled up today! And excellent wines.

QOTD: Hell yeah I’ll be participating- that Apple TV will go well with my Macbook.

Man I want one of those apple tv’s. I can’t wait to see what you have instore for tomorrow!

GR8wine
Great show, even better than usual. And you’ve really raised the bar with guests and different topics – like wines for veggies!
Gewurz is a great love and I think you nailed it. In addition, some of my favorite gewurz also have roses and lichee.
BTW – There’s that saying everything tastes like chicken; I guess that now includes overexposed wines?
January 30, 2008

bh
wow, good show today. i like this trend of tryin’ stuff that’s been sitting around for a few days… keep doing it, maybe you can put the whole ridiculous vaccum pumping thing to bed.

qotd: my tivo is biting the dust so i just might have to spread a little thunder…
January 30, 2008

Gary, your passion & enthusiasm are contagious! Thanks for doing what you do.

mikey lennon
I hope the Mets enjoy Johan, stupid trade.

Nice article in the Washington Post.

QOTD: I work at a liquor store on monday so I am going to try to tell some of the regular customers that purchase wine on a constant basis to come on here and join the ranks. Notice a lot of customers purchasing the same kind or even same brand (Yellow Tail) wines each week, want them to wake up and smell (sniffy sniff) the wine world.
January 30, 2008

Mikie C
You’re back, GV! High energy, great selection – even the 5-day-old bottle as an experiment. Fantastic!

qotd: not sure ’bout Monday, but I’m psyched for the 400th. Yea!!!
January 30, 2008

Kmarie
Gary, Excellent show! I’m a diehard Mac user, and I’m dying for one of those Apple TVs. I really have to think hard about how I’m goign to spread the thunder… it’s got to be creative and effective all at the same time.

BTW, did you see the NY Times article today about state laws regarding shipping? I live in Indiana, a black hole for wine shipment. Sigh. I wish I could spread the thunder by getting Indiana to revoke these blue laws.
January 30, 2008

David Dadekian
QOTD: Hell yeah! I’ll happily blog about it.

QOTD – i don’t think i’ll be officially participating, but will certainly urge some friends and enemies to watch on monday!
January 30, 2008

Anthony L.
QOTD: Don’t know yet, if I’ll be participating, but I always spread the thunder. Can’t wait to see the video entries. Should be awesome.
January 30, 2008

smells like chicken on the vegitarian show – come on gv?
but thanks for the shout out to us veggies – i feel like every wine goes with vegitarian food
since when did boyscouts roast mushrooms over the campfire?
i have not seen an edited show in eons, what gives?
January 30, 2008

latraviata
Thanks a million for doing this. I am a long-time vegetarian and have always had to find my own way for wine-food pairings. I really like a good Shiraz/Syrah with spicy vegetarian foods, including Indian and Middle Eastern and Mediterranean foods.
January 30, 2008

Doc Johnson
Good show today GV!

hmmm….been trying my best to spread the thunder to all my friends already. I might have to just post up fliers in the neighborhood.

I would love to participate, and I will try my best. But honestly Gary, everyone I know has already heard plenty about you and has checked out the show. The only possibility I have left is to start talking up my customers. I visit just about every hospital in the Chicago area south of the city and suburbs. I will put in a good word.

Also Gary, I do a LOT of driving every day, and I would love to help by putting something on my car. Maybe a “Mott…Link it up!” bumper sticker.
January 30, 2008

EricB
Love the Mediterranean/Middle Eastern food – the freshness can’t be beat and the flavors are simple but wonderful. I’ve enjoyed chenin blanc most with this kind of food, but have also had some Greek whites that went exceptionally well.
Keep up the food theme, it’s great to see how different wines pair with a variety of food.

QOTD: I’m totally participating…perhaps a blog post? It’s what I do
January 30, 2008

Gary,

So, we can trade you Santana, but we can’t buy the grape from you. What is up with that my man? We live in Minnesota, what the hell can we do for you? Go outside in our underwear? it’s 15 below!

(I’ll do it for some swag…)

What in THE holy hell is a “BabaGamoosh”, much less a “Hoomus”? I’m guessing the latter is a vegetable from Whoville. For good BabaGamoosh, roast 2 eggplants on a grill till the outside is burnt black. Scrape out the inside into a bowl which should have the consistancy of wet, gooey, uberripe bananas. Take about a teaspoon of cumin seeds, toast a bit in a toaster oven or skillet, grind to powder in coffee grinder. Add juice of one lemon, 1/2 cup tahini, 1 med totally smashed garlic clove, and salt to taste. Mix and yummy BabaGamoosh. Use vegees or tortilla chips to dip.

Gotta spread the Thunder. I’m not very multimedia savy, so I think a blog is in order. And a good gewurz can turn a day around.
January 30, 2008

I gotta say, I love white wines from Alsace. Can’t get enough of Rieslings and Gewurztraminers from there.
January 30, 2008

Obama_Man
GV. Great episode.

QOTD: I don’t have a blog, does a facebook ‘note’ count? I can blast an email out to 5000 people telling them to tune into the show!
January 30, 2008

laposte
QOTD:
I am going to do whatever it takes to get an Apple-TV, like I could put a note on the frig or tell my facebook pals (both of them) I know, I could attach a link to my work email, no anything with the word is blocked…well I’ll think of something and it will be good…well pretty good.
January 30, 2008

KVolk
Very interesting episode…I really like it when you try the different grapes and the food pairings. I am learning a ton about how wine and food can work together in ways I never thought. Can you do a seafood and nontraditional pairings?

QOTD: I will figure something out.
January 30, 2008

Tommy Vernieri
QOTD: Hmm, now is not the best time. I’ll see what I can come up with.

So you want us to get people to watch on Monday and blog about it on Monday?
January 30, 2008

Syrahhhhhhhhh
GVNC,

I have a couple of ideas up my sleeve…hmmmm…..
January 30, 2008

Glenn
GV, Great show today, don’t let the cat out of the bag though on Viognier. It is my favorite white wine and you can get some great wines for good value until too many people open their big mouths and then it will explode like Pinot Noir and we will be paying 25 bones for a mediocre wine.
QOTD: Already have my draft e-mail addressed with your link to shoot out to all my wine and beer drinking friends. By Monday I should have over 25 addresses on it.
January 30, 2008

Jarvis H
I watch Wine Library for wine knowledge and to see the Thunder, and today the Thunder was delivered! I like it! Loved the show! I recently tried a white wine last night. The first time in 6 months. It was Montecillo 2005, Rioja, and it gave me a reason to start buying white wines. I more so loved the fact that I didn’t not like it and it being another pazzz, (for my pallet). Congrats on the WashPost Art. Oh… Vegetarian Epsd was a bad-ass idea, since its not such a bad-ass idea to limit your diet a lot of meat intake. Trans-fats will kill ya young.

QOTD: I want to show support, and feel absent if I don’t. Lack of knowledge on creating a blog, and submitting videos. Will do some homework though, and will see what I can come up with.
January 30, 2008

Kathryn
Yay! I’ve been waiting for this show since I first caught the Thunder! I do feel left out at times when I read/hear about wines and they are paired with food because it is almost never vegetarian. Thanks so much for considering the Veggies in this show.

QOTD: In New Orleans, next Monday is Lundi Gras, the day before Mardi Gras. I can assure you there will be plenty of libations consumed, so I will take full advantage of the occasion to spread the Thunder!
January 30, 2008

Sev
great show, even more applicable to my life than usual since I am a vegetarian! i definitely want to a little more experimenting with the types of white you sampled today. especially alsatian whites. thanks for the jump start!

qotd: i don’t really know how to set up a blog page, and i don’t have video taping capabilities, but…i will post something on myspace, and tell as many people as i can about the show at the wine store i work at. can’t be too persuasive though because they might stop buying from us. your prices are better than ours. ha.
January 30, 2008

Martin
Thanks for the show! I’m not a strict vegetarian but I eat very little meat. Today I made risotto with oyster mushrooms, peas, and saffron paired with a dolcetto. You know I’m always trying to spread the thunder; today I showed it to my uncle. Don’t really have the equiptment to make a video – does it count if I write something on facebook?
January 30, 2008

Achilleas in Cyprus
Damn .. that was sme THUNDER today!!!

Being in Cyprus, we get all the great Mediterranean foods every day.

QOTD – will spread the word …. even more than have been doing
January 30, 2008

Shadowbird
QOTD: Hell yeah, I am!

I’m going to POST IT UP, Mott!
January 30, 2008

Greg B.
Big G, Great show. You already do so much and now Apple TV. Sweet!

QOTD: Ever since I first saw WLTV. I have been spreading the Thunder to each and every person I know, I’m not quite sure who else I could reach. Hmmmmmm…..
January 30, 2008

JoshL
Nice! I have couple vegetarian friends and this episode may finally get them interested in the dark side…muahahahaha~
QOTD: I’m consistently spreading the word (especially during happy hours after work)…though I’m not sure whether I’ll be participating in this particular event…I’m usually not enticed by free things and I’m more than thankful enough with the wealth of information that I get free on the show (besides, i use my tivo for few shows that i watch and movies…definitely loving the blu-ray…yeah, I’m high maintenance).
January 30, 2008

Robin C
Nice episode. I used to be a semi vegetarian and I love Mediteranean food.

My husband and I will be in Taos for a couple of days for the Wine and Ski Festival (no skiing for us, just wine) so I’ll check back later. We’ll tell everyone there about WineLibrary.

Easy recipe for humus: 1 can chickpeas/garbanzos drained (reserve liquid to add later if humus is too dry), 2 Tb tahini oil, 1 Tb olive oil, juice of 1 lemon, 1 clove garlic, salt to taste – mix in food processor. Serve with toasted pitas or scoop the yolk out of halved hard boiled eggs and replace with humus. (anti cholesterol ploy).
January 30, 2008

DirtWineKen
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT? No red wines?!??!?? Are you kidding me? Don’t you think that vegetarians like red wine?!?! Something like a falafel works so well with a red wine that has a nice acid balance. Sorry GV, I think you missed the boat. Nice Gewurz segment, though.
January 30, 2008

PFORTY
GV: Great EP! Great EP.

QOTD: Will Spread thunder, always. Can’t wait. Blog, Facebook, email….look out
January 30, 2008

Great Episode.
Go Veg! I have been vegetarian for almost 18 years.

QOTD: I will definitely be participating on Monday.
January 30, 2008

Jack2112
Fun episode, appreciated the styles that you rocked out. Also enjoyed seeing you uncork the wine after 5 days, that’s very telling.

QOTD: Wow, well, I’ll need to think this over. I do have an email list of 100′ of people in NYC because of what I do for work, I might also be able to hit up a few radio stations, and even talk to a few TV people I’ve gotten in with. I’ll have to work on this over the week…
January 30, 2008

*/^_^\*
rose is way underrated

qotd: was there one? i forgot. if it’s not right at the end then my mind can’t retain it for long enough…
January 30, 2008

pdn
Hey Gary,
Great show…very interesting topic. Was a strict vegetarian for many years, and now still cook many vegetarian meals. Will have to try the Gewurtz… BTW, hummus and shiraz work quite well together, and combine for my favorite guilty pleasure snack.

Qotd: hmmm…yes, I’ll participate, but I’ll have to do some scheming…
January 31, 2008

Loweeel
Rose is awesome. Screw vegetarians — since they like being miserable for made up reasons, why the hell should we try to make them any happier? Eat a mouthful of leaves in the fall and then throw up in your mouth to make it taste better. It’s far from proven to be healthier — how many professional athletes are vegetarians?
January 31, 2008

Jessi
Thanks for recognizing us Veggies today, Gary! I adore wines from Alsace & Germany – Gewurtztraminers & Rieslings go great w/ some of my favorite foods (lower alcohol + spicy food = yummy!). But don’t forget about the red wines! Italian reds w/ pizza or tomato-based pasta, earthy pinots w/ mushrooms – we have lots of options!

QOTD: Gotta say I’m thinking more about the Democratic primary next Tuesday (go Obama!), but I’ll see if I can sneak in a shout-out for GV on Monday!
January 31, 2008

Rani Haykal
Great Show!!!

QOTD: I’ve been spreading the thunder since the first day I watched the show roughly 360 episodes ago. I can definitely guarantee that every single person who knows me (family, friends, random people I may run in to) knows about the show, so I don’t really know how else to spread the thunder besides ways I have already been doing. So, I’d love to join in on the contest because God only knows how badass AppleTV is, but Ill continue to spread the thunder the way I do best…..cuz the show is even more badass then AppleTV.

KennyMac
Another excellent show, Gary. I’m a big fan of Gewurztraminer, and fortunately (shameless plug for my home province here) British Columbia makes some excellent versions, so we drink lots. It goes great with the Indian food we inevitably have at least once or twice a week. Also love chenin blanc and viognier, and a good rose is always nice. So the show today was obviously great for me.

Also love the idea of tasting that red five days after opening. Perhaps next time you can try a graduated tasting to see how it breaks down over that time. Start on Monday and finish on Friday. Just a thought.

QOTD: I will definitely be spreading the word on Monday, at the very least through facebook. Might have to get creative and think of something else as well, though. I’d love to get my hands on an Apple TV.
January 31, 2008

Dave
QOTD: I just told 100 Sonoma State students about your blog in the last 2 days! If I had tenure I’d definitely do something gaudy to try and get an iTV… how much does an iTV cost anyways?
January 31, 2008

C-Fiddy
Good show, way to be relaxed with your peeps.
QOTD: If I have to start a blog to get a shot at the AppleTV, I’ll do it. I’ll be spreadin’ the thunder like a mean Kansas storm, baby!!!
January 31, 2008

The Original Marc
QOTD: Honestly? Nothing. I’ve only tried half-heartedly to spread the thunder. But I did have my first experience of randomly having one of my friends also becoming facebook friends with you. That was interesting and unexpected.

On another subject, we’re celebrating Drake’s latest victory here by opening up a Tannat from Uruguay. I probably wouldn’t ever have discovered Tannat and wouldn’t think to go outside the box and try Uruguayan wine if it weren’t for you Gary, so thanks on that. As for the wine, it’s okay.
January 31, 2008

Ernest_G
QOTD: I will do my best to accomplish what you ask of me/us.

Though reading what everyone else has in mind does help.

Friday is wine shopping day for me, so I have all these great ideas you’ve passed on these two weeks on paper. Can’t wait to see what’s under that sleeve of yours, tomorrow.

GG, GV.
January 31, 2008

Monica J
Gary

Congrats on the write up in the post!

I almost bought a rose’ today, but chickened out and ended up going with a viognier and a malbec. I will probably go get it for the super bowl this weekend.

QOTD—I already have a badged attached to my signature on a couple of message boards I frequent…I am sure I will post about the 400th show Monday. I can’t wait to see it!
January 31, 2008

Monica J
oh–I also loved the banter/reparte’ that you and Mott had going on in this epi…I am a new viewer (I only have been around since the beginning of the month), so I am not sure if you have always done this, but it is great!
January 31, 2008

HuskerJamie
QOTD: Maybe put some fliers up in downtown Lincoln. Tell some costumers at the local wine shop where I work about the T Show. Possibly buying a 30 second Super Bowl ad.

gary VEEEEEEE,

great show…even though i’m not a vegetarian. awesome stuff. trying new things all the time because of this show and have discovered some radool wine.

thank you gary, thank you mott (link it up!), and thanks to the everybody in the WLTV world! this stuff rocks!

Time to finish my bottle of pinotage!

Rhonda
I will participate. My blog is about cooking for one and eating alone, but actually I usually eat and watch WLTV. I don’t get a ton of traffic but a couple of hundred readers can’t hurt. Thanks for always bringing such great episodes and I LOVE falafel!!!!
January 31, 2008

David
Psyched for a vegetarian episode, though I would have loved to have seen one or two reds that pair well – not all reds need meat! I think you should do a fish episode next, disproving the myth that only whites can work with fish.

On a side note, I love the viogniers I’ve had, sorry that this one came off so hot. They generally have a high alcohol content, and with a white, that indeed can be playing with fire.
January 31, 2008

DaveyDonut
BTW, just cause someone is a vegetarian doesn’t mean they’re healthy. I know several vegetarians who do it for health reasons, and I’d say overall the vegetarians I know have more health problems than the omnivores I know. Our bodies need the nutrients in meat (and vegetables), and while there are ways to supplement that, most vegetarians (though they try) fail to do so properly.

QOTD: I’m all about making videos, but for an AppleTV? Nah… If it was for a $10 bottle of wine I’d do it, but literally the only show I watch (TV or on the internet) is WLTV, so I would have no use for it. Hmm, though I could probably ebay it…

Yoni Rabkin
I’m satisfied with that show as well. Guests are fine, but sometimes we need 100% GV.
January 31, 2008

Hotshot162
QOTD: I’m starting to spread the thunder among my friends, but I just don’t think they really get it though. However, that’s won’t stop me to keep trying!!
January 31, 2008

Tstank
Gary don’t fret about pouring out all that wine. That is just how “BIG” you roll.

QOTD: I already spread the thunder show to all my wine drinkers maybe i will have to link up the beer episode for my other friends.

Great show today GV! I agree it’s good to have a little solo Vaynerchuk action from time to time.

QOTD: I’ve been word of mouthing the thunder here and there … but I do work at a coffee shop around more “palette conscious” types … maybe I’ll think of some way to spread the thunder in that arena. Although I must admit that selfishly I like that we Vayniacs are a proud few … but alas … the thunder must spread!!

Thanks for doing the vegetarian pairing idea — and I’m glad you found some winners!

I like dry rose wines, and they do seem to go well with almost everything, but I’ll be especially interested in trying the Alsace Gewurztraminer. One of my New Year’s resolutions is to try more wines from old world regions I’m not familiar with, and Alsace is high on the list.

QOTD: I’m going to be putting up a new website over the weekend, and I’ll link you up. A brand new site won’t have much immediate impact, but you never know how popular a new web site might get, do you?

Qotd – I am not computer savvy enough to do a blog, or video “link it up to Mott”! I can’t even seem to get a facebook account. However, I will tell all the folks coming over Friday for my 53rd trip around the sun party that I owe much of my wine tasting knowledge to this guy Gary on the internet. I am going to serve some GV tested thunder boomers to my friends who come to help me celebrate.

I am a strong believer in wine showing it’s ageing potential by how long it holds together after the first glass. 6 days is an epic wine! 5 days is a 10 year wine, 3 days is a 5 year wine, 1 day is a don’t hold back pour it all now wine (and sometimes when we experiment with new cheap wines it is a pour it all…down the drain wine!

As always a super show. You guys have skills, whether they like it or not!

What? No lychees in the gewurtztraminer? Probably the only wine I can identify blind most of the time……..

I’m definitely going to try to spread the thunder. I have no idea how, but I’d really like to be able to watch and/or discuss the show with friends. I’m sure I’ll figure something out!

On a separate note, I just read a BBC news article that says that some researchers at CalTech have found that the more expensive a wine is, the more the average person will like it. The article’s here (hope it’s ok for me to post links):

Gary – I gotta take you through the shuk in Jerusalem when you come to Israel and show you how to eat falafel and hummus and tachina (not tachini!).

And what, no Yarden or Carmel Gewurztraminer? Perhaps a Tabor or Teperberg with the tachina, Pelter with the pita? Although I admit that I prefer a beer with my falafel. I can just imagine going into my local hummus joint and ordering a Chard with the hummus. I’ll probably get kicked out!

Let’s have some Mediterranean wines with the Mediterranean food!

But perhaps this will inspire me for a new blog post.

But thanks for showing us veggies some love!

I LOVE THE GIGANTO POUR! Who would drink that if you didn’t anyway?
Actually there are probably a lot of homeless dudes on the streets of Jersey that would love to finish those off for you! Maybe you should do a tasting with the vagrants?
Thanks for another great show Gary. I’m not sure how I can help promote, other than telling everyone I know about how awesome you are, but maybe I’ll think of something?

Am not a computer guy, so I will continue to spread the word one person at a time. To demonstrate how pitiful I am, I don’t even have a HDTV. Even if I did, I wouldn’t know how to hook up the Apple TV. Another nice show Gary. We eat Vegetarian about 4 or 5 days at our house, and yeah, some of the stuff if really good.

What Boy Scout troop did you belong to that roasted mushrooms around the campfire??? We always roasted marshmellows. ;-D

Did everyone catch the GI Joe Cobra Commander comment? Did you ever notice that in your average GI Joe episode, hundreds of thousands of rounds of ammunition were exchanged by the GI Joe’s and the Cobra Troops but no one ever got killed….How did that happen?
January 31, 2008

Good catch Tom L. I think Gary was a member of the Boy Scout troop that had a scout master who was at Woodstock. Would explain a lot, wouldn’t it? LOL…just kidding.

Good episode, lots of fun. Really want an Apple TV!!!!!
QOTD I’ll do my best to get WLTV out there more, I already do a lot of word of mouth, anytime someone says wow that shirt is out there, what is it? WLTV gotta watch it if not for me do it for Gary.
January 31, 2008

Sharon
That Gewurz sounds awesome! Will add that to my list of wines to look for.
This is yet another e.g. of excellent, passionate wine programming. YOU ROCK!
So… what is that up your sleeve… is that another 101 WINES! Heh heh

QOTD: I wish I could make a video, I think it would be funny , but don’t have the equip, so a blog entry on my nascent blog or on myspace will have to do. I already gush to everyone I know about WLTV btw!

My wife wants me to go vegetarian. It wouldn’t really bother me except that there aren’t any vegetables that taste good. I think even if I went vegan I would still be rolling deep with the red wines.

QOTD: I’m not going to do anything cause I’m lazy and I’m not an Apple person and I don’t know crap about video. But I wish you the best of luck!!
January 31, 2008

JimChem
Gary, the Post article is very complimentary and right on. I love the way you are not afraid to dis a wine if it doesn’t fit your palette. Too many wine critics try to say something nice about a wine even when it is a looser. Keep up the good work.

You struck a bell with me on the Gewurtz; it always reminds me of Tide laundry soap.

Good show GV. QOTD: Word of mouth, no fancy Blog stuff etc. Not an Apple Fan, you can give mine to someone else. How about a bottle of the sold out Barth Rene?

Keep up the great work GV and Mott. Later.

I have an iPod and download them every night and listem to the Thunder show on the way to work each day. Lots of fun and beats any radio we get.

QOTD: I have been telling people already, but maybe an email to the friends who I know enjoy wine and set up some “LINKS” to a few of the fun shows. Easy to pick from. I have to be carefull though as there are not a lot of Jets fans in Hawaii.

I also was never aware of all of the various groups/blogs/forums etc until I started watching your show. Thanks

Keep it up.

Lawrence Leichtman
My blogs are medical and my patients don’t want to hear or even know about wine as many of them are fundamentalists who don’t drink and my last video sucked so it is unlikely I will be doing either. I tell everyone I meet at wine tastings about WLTV and most wine purveyors have never heard of you so I hope it helps. Got my son involved and he is basically a CKC in NYC and he has gotten together a wine tasting group based on your videos. That’s about the best I can do.
This episode wasn’t one that did much for me though. I really don’t like and have never liked GewÃ¼rtztraminer or South African Chenin Blanc though I love French Chenin Blancs and I have stored 6 or 7 Viogniers that are better values than the one you tasted.

I was somewhat puzzled about yesterday’s episode. While the young woman was nice enough and their wines get good write-ups, getting Swiss wines in the US is quite difficult and I still can’t find a US purveyor who will ship to Virginia. The Pinot Gris sounded great and I would love to get some but can’t find it anywhere but at the winery and they can’t ship here.

I love Gewurztraminer’s, but more so in the summer. And the Rose’s are getting very intriguing. My memories about them are not pleasant one’s… High School & gallon jugs, I don’t think that counts. QOTD: I can’t see a video coming from my direction, but I posted blogs on both myspace and facebook telling about the virtues of Gary Vey-ner-chuk.
January 31, 2008

Nice food pairing show. That rose was about the most brilliant color rose I have every seen. My local wine shop has a Rene Barth Muscat, but not the GewÃ¼rztraminer. Think I’ll try it out.

GV: you had so much energy today, and not in a bad australian shiraz fake fruit bomb kind of way. You were genuinely in a good mood and I’m going to just be smiling the rest of the day.
Loved the review of the Gevrtz! Who would have thought that wines from alsace could be so good with asian cuisine, but it just works doesn’t it.

QOTD: Oh yeah, definitely getting in on that action. I’ll spend the weekend formulating my master plan.

This was a dream episode for me – I love those style of wines, and had the Turkey Flats a couple of months ago BUT pouring half of it away to rinse your glass was NOT cool, OK? It was $20 here and only gave it 87 – maybe I need to re-calibrate my scoring? TNs- “Spicy watermelon aroma, fresh and lively, but with a subtle smokiness as well. Dry in the mouth, refreshing apple component with a decent length – a well made rose worth seeking out.”

I always have time for Chenin and Viognier, but that Gewurtz sounded exquisite – I was all geared up for a Chasselas this weekend but now I may have to head over to Alsace.

QOTD – “Spread the Thunder”, nice idea. I’m away next week so may not be able to catch the episodes until I get back but I’ll see what I can spread over in the Holy Land!

I found this episode very interesting as I have been a vegetarian for over 20 years. I was surprised you didn’t try some red greek wines with the type of food you were eating. I don’t think most people understand the depth of spices in most of vegetarian food. I usually go for a red wine with tabouli, hummus and the falafel..and some good goat cheese. Thanks for doing a show for a veggies!!!

This show is the reason I watch, absorb, and then try new wines. I am a fan of the “soapy soapster” and the esoteric white wines in my “later” years. Diversify is my mantra.

Glad to hear da Post gave you some kudos. Must be due to my spreading of the thunder down here in DC!

QOTD: If I can come up with some novel ideal I’ll do it. Would love to watch the Thunder Show on my big a** screen TV!

P.S. Yes, by all means do a SA white wine show.

I do my part to spread the Vayniac Fever!!
I cut my Offical Vayniac Tshirt suggestively, and prance around the supermarket…(OK, I dont prance…)
I use catch phrases at work constantly!!! I tell patients that feel like theyre not getting better fast enough, that -”YOU with a little bit of Me are changing the way you’re going to get better!” I attach the printed web address to winelibrary to bottles when I give wine as gifts.. I do my part!!!!!

I’m a semi-veg, so it’s great to see you doing wine that goes with veg food … although, what you were eating is more spice-driven than what I usually cook … By the end of the ep, I was yearning for some falafel!

Reminds me of my vegetarian days back in the 70’s. Still love falafels and humus. Big fan here of Gewurztraminer and Chenin Blanc. Great show.

QOTD: Could put in on my blog but I haven’t used it much – maybe a good time to start. I’d probably get more exposure telling my art group that meets on Monday to watch. We don’t get finished until late, though.

So much great wine from Alsace….Zind Humbrecht rocks.

Probably like most American I associate that rose color with the dreaded white zinfandel….sutter home white zinfandel….yeeesh. Takes me back to my college days in the late 80’s, sorority girls drinking that sutter home in their obnoxiously decorated rooms with the stuffed animals and those ‘husband’ pillows on the beds and UB40 on the CD player. Pink room, pink stuffed animals, pink pillow, pink wine…pink pink pink. I’d put up with pretty much anything to get my end wet. Tough to get that rose association out of my head but I’ll give it a shot with the Turkey Flat.

You know, Gary, it is kind of shocking to see you waste wine. Wouldn’t some of the staff like to taste the wines after you’re done? If you used a new clean glass for each taste, would you have to rinse?

I’m a longtime vegetarian, and I LOVE that you did this show. Not a big fan of Gewurztraminer, but I’m definitely going to give it another shot with food. However, you picked very light veggie food. I often make richer, fattier veggie stuff like mushroom cream sauces–they stand up very well to reds. Any chance of getting another show featuring veg food paired with reds?

I don’t have a blog, but I’ve told all my wine friends about the show.

Gary, another fantastic show!!

Spread the thunder- Yea! I send video links to friends and I think it would be cool to have a wine tasting like we did with the Christmas Pack- but make the selections available earlier- then we could all watch and compare with you- just select wines that most of us can afford. I love Gewurz- I grew up on the 5 bone version made by Fetzer/ In those days you could bring a 5 gallon jug to the winery and the kids of the Fetzer family would filler up with the house red wine= hmmm hpw things have changed, Will try the Alsace soon/ Wow- was that really Rachel Ray that left the comment below?

This was a great episode and it is too bad if many of the vayniaks did not get to see this one. Gary was on fire and the pairings with the food were great. I think that this episode was deeper than what was seen. Lots of thought and insight into future episodes.

Great show! I’m a vegetarian and appreciate the effort. However, the paring with food seemed to get lost. No biggy though. How about a show with big reds for super unhealthy vegetarian food? Think rich creamy alfredo sauce or three cheese lasagna.

Can’t wait for the big FOUR HUNDRED on Monday.

“Great concept, but we are on top of the food chain for a reason.”

I really would like Elliot explain to us why we are on the top of the food chain. Probably the funniest thing hairless apes claim. We are a defenseless creature, top of the food chain? Not sure I would agree just because I can walk in to a store and buy an animal. Sleep out, no tent, in Jackson Hole and you will feel like you are at the bottom of this food chain: Bears, wolves, Buffalo, etc. Because of this experience, I am frightened of animals and believe we all are and this is why we feel the need to eat them every meal of the day ——INSECURITY

Good episode, the fact that it had no reds makes me a little upset, but not bad. Love Viogner.
Since it was in the name of science… ie tasting wines, it doesn’t matter but…
Biggest wine wasting episode ever. You probably poured out 1.5 bottles of wine in 20 minutes without drinking a single drop.
