I hope everyone at Wine Library, and their friends and familes had a great 2008 and hopefully so far a great 2009. Thanks for all the hard work you do. I look forward to another year of great guests, great shows, and Gary ranting about his beloved Jets. You know theyre in the cellar in 2009, bank on it!

Gary, I forgot how much I truly enjoy watching you. My New Year’s resolution will be to watch every WLTV episode I have missed to date!

Gary,

Happy New Year, and thanks for all the great insights.

A comment and a request…

I’ve had the Catena on multiple occasions. Overall, your review of it was pretty close to my view, but I perhaps like it a shade more. It has been a reliable house chardonnay for guests less serious about wine looking for a reliable glass of chardonnay, though it rather limited.

It’s been very useful when you tell us that wine x drinks like a $$$ wine, and you then drop a few names for comparison at a quality level. Please continue to do that. It helps us compare to wines we know. Great stuff.

Have a great ‘09. Wine Library TV rocks.

Cary V!!!! You rock.

I have to first apologize…. i have been a super-lurker! I have been watching since around episode 100 and can count the number of comments i have made on one hand!

It is my New Years Pledge (not resolution, resolutions are made to be broken…) to comment on every single show in 2009! Some comments might be a little late, like this one (i usually watch at work, hehe) but they will be there.

Love the energy GV!!! My 2009 wine resolution is to drink more old world wines, and transition from new world fruit bombs.

Gary, thanks for the show on value wines. “long time listener, first time caller” etc. etc. This is the first show I’ve seen in ‘09 so thought i should comment. I really like the 2005 Edmunds St John Gravel & Rocks, but do agree with you that the 2004 is a bit better.

Keep up the great show.

Oh, btw, tried a very nice Montenegran wine by Plantaze called Vranac. Saw it at a local store for about $14. Was inspired to give it a shot by your Croatian episode.

Ah no, it’ll be the best year ever I’m sure.

Hi Gary, Happy New Year! Sorry to see the Catena didn’t do it for you, it’s actually one of my favorites for 2008.

Happy New Year to Everyone…Ohhhh KJ and Catena…The peeps like them for sure. They are cocktail wines for most of the consumers. And bothh of those brands buy advertising everywhere!!! Good Show….

I like that you’re breaking the extra bottle out for the New Year show! Neat wines, and telling wines! This was a perfect example of how ratings don’t matter (at least to some degree!). I’m looking forward to the blinds, the values, and the really high end wines (that I’ll never drink, but can experience through you) in 2009!

Happy New Year!

HEY Gary, a belated happy new year to you, Mott and the rest of the crew there at Wine Library.

Thank you so much for your great insight, knowledge and most of all passion on everything you have done on WLTV in 08, discovering wine library tv would have to be one of best things that had happened to me in 08….THANK YOU AGAIN GARY, I look forward to more great shows in 09.

I know I’m a little late but I was with you for #600 along with the wines. it brought our family together for something very fun. AND my mom pulled out rubarb (not a huge winer) about 3 seconds before you said it and I almost pissed my pants. keep rocking, and thanks.

Thank you and your team a bucket load of great episodes during 2008…..looking forward to many more sublime viewings over 2009.

I certainly think that todays episode shows the naviety of consumers and lack of education in the market when there are so many great value plays out there. Gary V – you certainy fill this gap!

A prosperous 2009 for you and your family (and the family of WLTV).

Petaluma Riesling and oysters – great combo & top choice Gary. My wine moment – it’s 1979 and we have just caught some flatheads in Port Phillip Bay off Rosebud, cut our own chips (English style, not thin French Fries) and drank a bottle of Petaluma.
