Yay, finally got to watch the episode! One of my friends got her parents to watch when I was on the Thunder Show and on Christmas they saw you on the Today Show. You have some new fans. They’re even getting the Wine Spectator now!

Happy Holidays and New Year everyone!

QOTD: Didn’t do the secret pack, and for once I was actually in the US, but looks like I missed a good one! Happy holidays everybody.

So Mott, what did you think of that last wine? I love it when Mott joins in the tasting, even if it’s off camera. I’d like to see a link to the Today show under your national TV appearances.

This is the second year in a row that I’ve done the ’secret wine pack’ tastings with my wife, father-in-law, and mother-in-law over Christmas (which, in our family, last the entire week between xmas and New Years, and includes the birthday of my father-in-law (Poppa Jack, 12/29). You rock our world! This year’s pack was exceptional. We spread it out over 3 days and enjoyed each bottle as much as (if not more than) the last. Can’t wait until next year!!!

Bring the Motster on more. That is the first time I have seen him. Nothing what I thought he would look like. I thought he was about 25 years old.

Great episode. I don’t dig not knowing what I’m buying, so I never go for the packs…still I love watching you review them!

Not shaving til the Eagles lose.

Congrats on 600, way to go!!! I can claim to be one of the few (or maybe many, that would be a good question of the day, by the way) who have watched all 600 !!!

best in 2009

Coming to this show late, but wanted to say thanks Gary for all you do!

Cannot get the secret pack because I LIVE IN MICHIGAN

Had a great Christmas with family, hope you did too. Looking forward to New Years!

Happy Holidays Gary! Congrats on making 600 shows for our edification. I’ve only been a Vayniac for the past 100 or so, but like to think I’ve brought a couple of dozen of my friends into the fold too. I’m a little bummed that I missed the Today Show since I JUST saw the episode with the announcement…but I’m sure you and Mott will “link it up” in the near future. I wish you and yours much happiness and success in 2009!

Gary! Congrats on number 600. First time poster, long time watcher. With this episode, we just added three more citizens to the Vayner-Nation (brother, mom, and dad). It just keeps getting bigger. Keep up the great work and thanks for all the great picks!

I love the Thunder Show and what you guys are all about. Thank you Gary and Mott.

Hey Gary, I’m only shaving if the Eagles lose. Here’s to a big hairy Philly Superbowl win!

Hi Gary and Mott. I download WinelibraryTV from Miro so I don’t know if I get counted in your total downloads or not but just wanted to say I love the show and hope you’re not stopping at 600. I’m in Mississippi (home of Brett Farve and Manning clan!!)and sent wine from WineLibrary to a friend in VA this Christmas. Hope to buy from you again soon. Thanks for all the great exposure to different wines and your entertaining presentation. Keep it coming in 2009!

GV saw you on the Today show – great job. Mott good to see you in front of the camera. Hope you both had a wonderful Christmas and best spent with family and friends. Congrats on 600! BTW – no more crying about the JETS – you could live in MI – with the worst team ever — Lions 0-16!

King of Vblog!

I love your energy!!
Keep producing!

I don’t understand how the Patriots with their record did not get it.

Out here in the Bay Area, we have some good mascot wine.
Come by.

Happy Holidays

The Jet’s coach Eric Mangini was let go. Gary – you outraged, happy, sad? What wine goes best with a coach’s departure? You know, they say there are only two kinds of coaches in the NFL… those who have been fired and those who will be fired.
