Another wonderful year at Wine Library TV. Been a little late on catching up with ep’s, hence a sad lack of comments from this old school Yorkshire Vayniac. Must try harder in 09. A belated but heart felt Happy New Year to all!

Anyone else like Cono Sur from Chile? It’s a “value pick” (at $13 CDN), and my wife and I have really enjoyed it (white or red).

Hi Gary only discovered your show about a month ago, loving it and gonna spread the word to fellow Brits who are loving the wine like me; keep up the good/crazy work! Question of the day for you: how does wine generate heat in the mouth? I see you don’t seem to like this happening when you try wine (white). Also; have you tried the following?: 2007 “Devil’s Rock” Riesling, Germany (Pfalz). It’s a steal here in England for £5.49. Lovely citrus crispness etc, would love to know what you think. Have a good 2009, Tom, Plymouth, England (newly converted veyniak)

Looking forward to the year-to-come. What will Gary pull out of his “tickle trunk” this year… All you Canadians out there know what I’m talking about. Move over Mr. Rogers, we’re bringing a little Mr. Dress-up love to WLTV…

QOTD- What was the question of the day?
Thanks for the value episode, looking more in that direction these days.
Thanks for another great year and looking forward to more shows in 2009

GV – thanks for a good 2008. I look forward to 2009 with the Vayner Nation.
There was no QOTD that I picked up on.
Therefore, I made up my own and here is the response:
QOTD – to serve the world and help make it a better place!

Peace out!

Happy New Year to you and your family Gary!

Happy New Year, brother! I COMPLETELY agree with some of your plans for 2009:

-focusing on value
-more blind tasting (with 2 paper bags over your head while watching the Jets)
-more “nerdy” wine info eps with an eye towards classic old world plays

Can’t wait to see what 2009 brings! I’m still here, just as loyal as ever. I wish your family the best in the new year as well. Cheers.

Absolutely love the show. Very, very excited for you and your success. Thank you for all you have done for us and the wine business in general. On the topic of To Do’s for 2009, I hope to see more restaurant list reviews. As a server, representing a solid, albeit Pacific NW and French dominated list, I am always curious to see how ours holds up to all the others.

Again, thank you very much Gary!

I’m already noticing a trend due to economic woes:
Lots more value wines being sold. Pretty close to the same amount of covers (dinner entrees) but more QPR drinkers.
That’s ok, I started pushing the wine list that way in the last quarter of 2008.
New yrs eve crowd the same. Lots of btls but kept it around $100 as opposed to $200 ++ in past yrs.
Ole Miss fans partied hard at our restaurant. Spent lots of cash. Thanks for stopping in!!!
Still gotta say: “Get your guns up!” (Tech had a great yr)

I’m a death sentence to any team I root for…Cowboys, TxTech, The TxRangers, Stars, Mavs! Pick a team you want to lose and I will root for them. (haha).

All the best in 2009 for you & Mott.

Yeah, don’t expect anything exciting from KJ unless it’s from their 3rd tier Estate series. Using “Reserve” on anything but your best is lame. KJ is even lamer for trying to make “Grand Reserve” sound better than Vintner’s Reserve.

But, they got huge PR with Obama…
