Definitely buying two. One for me and one to spread the thunder to a newbie. Am I the only one that thinks the image on the cover looks an awful lot like the short-haired Meatloaf from The Fight Club? Am I nuts?

This is my first comment. I’ve really been enjoying your podcast for the past few weeks.

I’ll be happy to order two books. Both to enjoy the books and to support your great work with winelibrarytv.

Gary, I am from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
I am just getting into wine, and love the doors and vistas you are opening, into the wine world. I will buy the book for myself, and several others for Birthday gifts. You are changing the wine world.

Hey Gary,

My Husband and I are truly enjoying your show. We’re complete WINOS now, but it’s all good.

You shouldn’t lament your shows intro. To quote Shakespeare ( and who’s going to argue with Shakespeare ) To thine own self be true” Hamlet

My palate thanks you for the great information and the complete lack of pretentious bull @*&@!

We would love to order your book, will you sign it for us?

Cheers,

wine lovers in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada.

Vive la bon Vine!

Gary,

Congrats on the book. I will be placing an order for a few.

Would love to have you visit upstate NY. You are so close by. How about an episode from one of the Finger Lakes Wineries like Dr. Konstantin Frank or Hermann J. Weimer

Keep bringing the Thunder

Cheers

Whoa Gary, not to rain on your parade but Iowa has corn and soy fields. I don’t remember the last time I saw a wheat field in this empty state. Thanks for the mention though; it makes this state feel loved.

I’m thinking about buying a book for myself. It doesn’t cost too much so there’s no harm in buying it.

If I buy two books that will be half my wine budget for this month. This book better be good. I will need to cut back to one bottle of yellow tail a week.

Will I guy it? Sorry, but no.

Instead it is on my Amazon wishlist for my family who always say they don’t know what to buy me.

Better idea! Buy the book for my family and tell them to order my gift out of it!
