No secret pack…too expensive to ship to Hawaii. Had a wonderful Christmas at home with wife and girls. Drank 2005 Chappellet Signature Napa Valley Cabernet and made a great prime rib.

Vayniacs…bring out the comments!!! More episodes please Gary!!!!

Congrats on episode 600!
That Languedoc wine sounds awesome. I recently tasted a Spanish wine that reminded me of syrah based rhone wines. It was called Petalos, and it was 100% Mencia. Best wine I’ve found all year for under 20 bones.
Merry Christmas Gary and Mott

Can not wait to do the secret pack. I had my SP shipped to a buddy in MO and then he shipped it to me in MN. We are going to have a Viewing of #600 on New Years eve night, I can not wait. Please have NJ change the laws so I can get it shipped direct. I get wine from CA why not NJ?

Have a Happy Holidays!!!

I’m thinking about all of the wine I’ve discovered by watching WLTV. And I’m thinking about the wines I’ll discover in 2009.

I did not get the secret pack (in a sate that doesn’t allow shipping). Thank you Gary and Mott too for such great content. Keep it up.

A lurker no more Gary,

Enjoyable, I’ve been lurking for several months now and it is time to give you your dues. I’ve got to say Gary, you’re somewhat of a George Bailey the way your changing people’s lives here. What a wonderful life you have.

What a great show guys. Fortunately I was able to order the secret pack in time to follow along during the show. Being able to taste the wines during the show was incredible helpful. The ability to sample the wines at the same time really brings out the contrast between them. This helps me appreciate the differences and improve understanding my own palate. I largely agreed with you on the wines with the exception of Rhone Rebel GSM. This one did not do much for me.

This was also the first time I saw Mott so it was great to put a face to the name. Cheers Mott!

Graduations on 600!

QOTD – A good friend and colleague of mine came over for Christmas dinner. He appreciates good wine but has never seen the show. It was time for some Wine Library TV Missionary work. After a delicious dinner my wife prepared, we lined up the wines and played the show. We followed along, sampling the wines determining our own take on them and if we had the same opinions as yours. No, we did not hug as you suggested but opted for another glass of wine instead. My wife even sampled two of the reds and really liked them. We had a great time and really enjoyed the show. We ended the wine adventure with a tasty desert wine (2005 Moscato d’ Andrea Muscat Canelli) that my friend brought over. It went very well the hot apple pie and ice cream.

Feliz Navidad Gary, Mott and Vaniacks

Gary, first time I’ve watched & found it very informative. I always buy wine when I visit my folks & will need to branch out a bit. Pretty much buy the same types of wine most of the time! I missed out on the secret pack – will need to watch more to find out about the secret packs!

Gary. I wish I lived in the US so I could get in on the secret pack experience. I don’t have enough carbon credits saved up to ship to Australia yet. Great show. Hope you had a great Christmas.
