Might as well add a comment here to help us get to 600.

Gary, you should do a tribute to Ehren Jordan sometime and taste Failla, Neyers, and Turley side by side — same guy, such different wines. (Good timing, too: SF Chronicle named him Winemaker of the Year.)

Found a liquor store in my city (Chicago) with some crazy older wines — bought a ‘97 Edmunds St. John syrah for 16 bones: singin’!

Don’t really care that much about wine [yet] but I just saw a talk from a conference and I had to find out about Winelibrary.

THANK YOU for giving a shit.

Hey GARVYVEEEEE! Merry Christmas from Canada! Am watching the CSI marathon on Spike TV and keep seeing your mug at every commercial so I had to stop in and say hi!
Congrats on 600, on all your successes and here’s to a very inspiring 2009 to you and yours.

Congrats on 600 episodes Gary. Just wanted to relay that I bought the Bodega 2005 Atteca Armas based purely on your episode with Jorge Ordonez, and brought it along for Christmas dinner. It was a huge hit, and completely overshadowed any of the other wines we served (including a really nice ‘98 Merryvale Profile), with the BIG exception of the ‘05 Doisy-Vedrines Sauternes that was our dinner apertif. It’s taking everything I have not order a case of that and cellar it (probably because I lack a cellar!), but holy cow I can totally see how that would be your #1.

Anyway, here’s to another 600 episodes and expanded palates!

Congratulations and thank YOU for 600 WLTV episodes, Gary. Every episode has been a winner. Sorry to have missed you on the Today Show on Christmas a.m.; hope that Mott will be “linking it up”. I don’t want to miss a word of what you had to say about the bubbly. New Year’s Eve is bubbly night….and I want to be prepared. Wishing YOU ALL the BEST in the New Year, Naples Kathy aka Champagne Lady

Gary, Thanks for everything you have done with WLTV. I look forward to the GV wine of the month club!

GV,
Hey, been away from WLTV lately – super busy time of year. Glad I caught this episode. Missed out on the secret pack, but ordered a couple bottles of the Ch. Puech Haut – sounds spectacular. I noticed on the WL page that Michel Rolland & Claude Gros are involved in this project – that’s some good pedigree & it sounds like it delivers the thunder based on your tasting.

Hey Gary and everyone at the Wine Library, Congrats on the success and the 600th episode. I hope to come and visit if I ever get out to Jersey

I think I’ve watched 200 episodes in the past month. Maybe 3 comments. Should I just comment 197 times on this one to even it out?

So the first Wine smelled like junkyard fire? burning rubber and steel? Made me think of driving past Hammond Indiana on the way to Chicago.

Gary, maybe you should give out a prize once in a while to those who commented two or three days prior. Do it whithout an announcement a couple of times and there will be tons of comments later on. That is just an idea.
