Great episode. Just ordered two Mott shirts.

QOTD – I don’t get out of Texas so much but might go over there one day.

Gary I would offer a suggestion that you get each guest their own spit bucket. That could be as neat as the other prizes.

Nice shout out for the American Red Cross. They do such a great job putting up with the crap that happens to our country. QOTD- never been to the winery, or France, or Europe, because the US$ is playing a major role in the “crap that (is happening in) our country”.

We just got back from 12 days in France 3 weeks ago.
Absolutely LOVED it! Started in Paris ended up in Monte Carlo.
We had at least 2 bottles of red wine every day in each town or city we stayed in. Never had the same wine twice and yet never had a bad bottle of wine the whole trip. It was the trip of a lifetime because it may take us that long to pay off all the bills! The dollar is getting demolished against the Euro. A can of sardines for lunch in a cafe was about $17 dollars american. Would go back in a heartbeat if I won the lottery.

Wait a minute. “Work” and “France” in the same sentence???? At least we know it will be part-time.

QOTD: I haven’t been to France since I was in grade school. When I go again I would love to visit Cotes du Ventoux because of the wines and because I now know a friendly face there.

I knew Mott would get his shirt. We need a Sasha shirt next.

Great show Gary. I’m pumped about the contest.

QOTD: I simply don’t make enough money to justify making an oversees trip. I would love to see the beautiful French countryside so if I ever get out there I will have to look you up

Hmmmm new Mott shirt? I think I heard something about a Mott v 2.0 that might bring more Thunder…..

QOTD: Love France, used to live in the Netherlands, traveled all around France and drank LOTS of wine. Need to go back soon. And check out Chateau Pesquie.

Loved the intro.

QOTD: I would enjoy travelling to France but can’t right now due to work related commitments.

Mott finally got some WLTV love.

Great show – Maybe the best ever in my opinion. It brought a new level of knowledge and passion, easily bringing to to the 3rd or 4th most passionate wine program on the internetz. Ant the contest is an amazing opportunity. I’ve wanted to go to the Rhone valley ever since I first fell in love with wines (I thought they were cute before, but didn’t truly realize their beauty until perhaps 5 or 6 years ago). I haven’t had the money or time to go travel there in the past, although I endured a lot to try and earn a trip. But perhaps today I’ve got a Golden Ticket. If it can happen to Charlie Bucket, it could happen to you (or me, please pick me!!!).

Wonderful show! And mad thanks for the shout out (Jeanette loved it) and giving Iowa some Wine Library love!

Oh and the new opening is tops… Rev3 is giving some great value to the thunder show right out of the box.

QOTD answer… But I have been to the Ventoux! Unfortunately, it was 20 years ago, and I was too young (age 12) and too dumb to appreciate wine. Maybe I’ll win, and have a chance to see it all through wiser eyes!

Great episode. Gary, I really like the fact that you are honest in your wine reviews, even with the wine maker sitting next to you. Kudos to you and Mr. Pesquie for making the wine world better.

o and what an opportunity! I know everyone else is thinking it so on behalf of the Vaynernation, Thanks for putting out such an amazing opportunity to experience the world and the world of wine! I wanna bring those guys some Thunder!

Fredrich’s layed back attitude mixed with your energy made for a great show! Mott: Well done buddy! glad to see you doing your thing! that hand “clicking” graphic is perfect, it reminds me of a nintendo shirt or something, ha ha!

QOTD: I was in the Air Force and instead of gettting stationed throughout the world i got sent right back to my home state of WA! I would put in some very hard work for Fredrich and the Chateau have some fun doing it!

Thanks for introducing me to a great winery that I had never heard of before. Good show! I entered the contest. PICK MEEEEEE!
QOTD: I’ve never been to Cotes du Ventoux. Apparently I’ve been waiting my whole life to win this contest, is why.

Oh yes, congrats Mott…on your t-shirt!

OMG….great show…love the intro??? Is that permanent???

QOTD: I LOVE the South of France. The best vacation I have ever had. But somehow I missed seeing Ventoux. So I need to come back to make and make a mend by picking, sorting, crushing, fermenting, bottling and drinking the juice

not a big fan of the intro…

we have started watching from the first episode and saw the big turn around when Gary turned down the TV deals. The show gained life/personality after that point.

I am worried about the direction of the show. Here come fancy graphics, big advertisers and all the other “conventional” things podcasts do.

Another one of the great WLTV shows. Thanks. Liked the cool intro also. And congradulations to Mott for finally getting his own T-Shirt. Well deserved.

QOTD: I have not ventured out of the county much in my life time. I will definitely seek out Pesquie wines though.
