    Fun episode. Congrats and all that for #600!

    Missed the secret pack this time. Watched while drinking some port with some cheese.

    Looking forward to a slow week off and catching up on drinking a few wines.

    Lobby the MD House of Delegates to let us mail order wines! We’re only two states away!

    Hey Gary,
    Great episode. Congrats on #600. Unfortunately I didn’t buy the Christmas Thunder pak but have gotten one of the previous ones. It sounds like a really good one though.
    QOTD – We had an ‘05 Duckhorn Merlot with beef tenderloin for Christmas dinner. It was too die for!!!
    Happy Holidays.

    Hey Gary!

    Congratulations on the episode number 600! Even though I don’t drink wine at all, I watch your show quite frequently as I enjoy the enthusiasm and energy you bring to the show, and your way of taking care of people and the community is very refreshing. Keep up the good work and looking forward to the 1000th episode of the Thunder Show!

    Cheers!

    Number 522, I think. Just doing my part to try to get us to 600 before the next episode.

    X-Mas was at my brother in laws. We made our own secret pack for everyone attending. Started with Casa Lapostolle, Clos Apalta (2006) not the 05, then moved into the Raymond Generations 1997 Cab Sauv and finished with Switchback Ridge 2005 Merlot (best of the bunch).

    So, Brian Williams – you wouldn’t be a Canadian sports commentator, would you? The quality of the comment indicated you might be one and the same…

    Gary,
    I didn’t get the secret pack for a wine tasting but I did invite some friends over to watch the Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade (100th anniversary). We had a great time and I offered a wine experience by supplying 4 pinot noirs from the left coast for them to taste with the main course of pork roast. All the wines were made by Siduri and they were all 2006. I had an Oregon Willamette Valley, a Sonoma Coast, a Santa Lucia Highlands, and a Bien Nacido. They enoyed it but I don’t think they concentrated too much on the wine. They were having a pretty good convivial time and the wine came in second or third in their priorities. Most thought the Sonoma Coast was the best but at some point someone mixed up the bottles so it is not exactly statistical proof. Oh well, As long as they enjoyed the party!?! Congrats on 600 and keep them coming.

    Gratz on 600 epic episodes!

    The passion and the information is alway appreciated.

    I did not have the opportunity to buy the secret pack.

    LOL – trying to help out the GV nation with a comment to get us over 600 for the 600th episode.

    I know that GV and WLTV had change the way that I do wine, I try more and go in different directions than before, so thank for the help on the way!

    Happy Holidays to everyone at WLTV!

    Hey Gary! Merry Christmas! Here’s my question of the day…How can we change the laws so you can ship to Kentucky? Would love to be a member of the wine of the month club and/or get the secret packs. I do love your tasting thoughts…they make me more thoughtful of what I’m drinking. Hugs and kisses!

    Great show, love seeing Mott on there. We haven’t opened the secret pack yet, waiting for some family to get back from holidays…

    First time post. Loved the secret pack. Just doing my part to get Gary to 600.

    Have not broken out the secret pack yet. Hoping to do so at a family gathering next weekend.
    To all, enjoy the season, the holidays and the new year.
    Got my alleged Jets playoff tickets in the mail yesterday. Hopefully, they’ll amount to more than a gag gift.
    One step closer to 600.

    Thanks for the great presentation. I am a novice in wines, but I am getting to enjoy thanks to my wife who got me started. My curiosity to learn brought me to your show and I am glad to have landed here. Keep up the good work, Ze
