    Hey GeeVee … great episode! I finally got to catch one … been missing you for about a month now, but have NOT forgotten you. I pass your name/website/vlog on to SO MANY people that I hope this makes up for me missing a few.

    Good episode today … nice doing it LIVE … looks like you had way too much fun!

    Congrats on the 500th episode! You did a great job bringing the thunder to the SF buddy. I love the “Boob-Job” analogy…you crack me up.

    Great show however the crowd was obnoxiously rude! I guess those N. Californians already know everything there is to know about wine

    Dude! You are hilarious! I busted out laughing at work after the “poop component” comment. Keep up the great reviews. BTW… We are having our second annual Wine and Cheese party next week and I will be using your copyrighted “Sniffy Sniff” phrase. Hope you don’t mind. I’ll give you props though. Congrats on 500 shows!

    Gary this was awesome. My favourite episode so far.
    You have to do more live episodes, you bring mad thunder.

    Keep strong!

    hooray 500 episodes! I think this is the loudest episode, too. Almost Samuel L. Jackson-esque.

    The Live show was off the hook!

    It was hilarious how much Gary was swearing at the crowd!

    The jets will not score 49 points in any one game in the 2008 season. Jets 17 49ers 21.
    Great Show.. love the live audience idea.

    Congrats on the 500th episode. A real accomplishment and everyone involved should be proud. With that being said, I have to say I was a little disappointed in #500. I’m sure it was great to be there in person but not a great show to watch. What’s with the bleeps?!?! Also, the “guests” didn’t add much. And the wine was meh. I think the Boston episode was a better live show and episode 499 was a better overall episode. But still a HUGE fan…keep up the good work.

    Coolest live show ever! When are you coming to Minnesota? (HINT: DON’T wait until it is 40 below zero. NOW is the time.) I have a great guest suite you can stay in with a 60″ HDTV for watching the Jets or the latest Thunder Show via Apple TV.

    I only wish NJ would figure out it’s weird laws so I can start purchasing some of these great wines from you. Rather give you my business than anyone else, since you make wine so enjoyable for us.

    We love you Gary! (oh, and Mott, too! sorta…)

    p.s. I think I am the only official Vayniac without a wristband. boohoo

    Strong work GV, you tell that oak monster who’s boss.

    QOTD: no clue, howzabout Jets: a lot, Niners: way less.

    You owned that stage Gary, but too bad the wines didn’t.

    Looks like the party was a hoot. Glad you made it to 500, though numbers are funny. Actually 730 seems to me to be a really big number because that is two straight years worth of episodes.

    Glad I didn’t buy that Muga after all!

    First, congratulations on #500. Sorry, but I can’t say I enjoyed it. The crude references and talk was totally unnecessary. Down to earth doesn’t have to be in the mud. Insulting is not enlightening. Trash talk is not straight talk. IMO, not the way to change the Wine World.

    #499 with Jim Cramer was brilliant- informative, funny, and tons of mutual respect. How about more of that and less of the Hoke Monster?
