Naturally, episode 700 on 7.7 … so will there be seven wines?

Oooo…mysterious

BTW, not sure where to send tasting requests. I’d like to see you try Borealis from Montinore Estates. 60% Muller-Thurgau, plus smaller amounts of Gewurtz and Pinot Gris, blended in an off-dry style. Just different enough to be something I thought you might be willing to do on the show.
July 6, 2009

Thanks for the teaser… waiting with baited breath. Hope you had a great 4th of July.

Who’s the shrink that can tell us why we as humans love round numbers so much? In about a year’s time we’ll be doing #1000.

If I know GV, episode 700 is going to involve some sort of bubbly to celebrate with…thoughts?

I was a Ben Zudist once. Are you gonna tape delay it or Bring the THUNDER LIVE!!??

“A lot of mental thinking…”

I still say you should do a champagne episode to celebrate and since “007″ is “700″ transposed I think it should celebrate the champagne favorites of James Bond!

I was waiting in line at the grocery store today…wearing a WineLibrary.TV T. A lady asked me from behind…,”What is Wine Library TV?”

So, I told her quickly about you, the wine video blog and what it’s all about.

She said to tell you your T shirt worked, she’s gonna check you out now!

I think that deserves a wrist band, whatta you think GV?

ooooooooo – the anticipation!!

hess
After 699 free episodes for your fans, you should take off for #700 and hang out with your family. Oh who am I kidding, I’m sure it’s going to be huge. Keep on crushing it for 700 more, GV.
July 7, 2009

Ray
old joke: “How do you make an idiot wait? … I’ll tell you tomorrow.” lol

Anyway, Gary V.
Q1: If someone is running a cast like yours, do you think they should have a “behind the scenes” feed to do little blurps like this? That way the continuity/professionalism of the original topic is kept in the main episodes but the fans can see all the quick behind the scenes stuff and extra little thoughts that aren’t “real episodes”?? OR, do you think 2 feeds would just confuse the viewers?

Q2: Did you use your new iphone 3Gs for this? Long video (vertically). Quality was pretty good. Thinking about getting one. Does it replace the flip well???

max herssey
hey gary!
i just wanted to see how you sell wines, and saw that when trying to buy the Alfonso that your dad liked so much (xD), I was referred to 2 other websites. Wine-Zap, and then Wine Chateau. Do all 3 of you take a commission on the sale? Please explain!

Thanks man,
Max

Can you imagine if you just stopped at 699? Oh my goodness, everyone would go nuts. It would be interesting. Maybe your dad would take over? Ha, wouldn’t that be irony, the man who thought you were wasting your time starting a podcast. Great job man, never thought I’d be watching a wine show.

To the nitpicking grammar fascists (I’m just poking fun): “mental thinking” is redundant when the great liberties that Americans (U.S.) have to express are overlooked, even those of language. To harass a fellow compatriot, comrade if you will, is to erode away at the freedumbs secured by the largest weapons manufacturer on this planet. So, I recommend you take your English PhDs and get your own book deal then write about it.

“Mental,” not so much a general psychological symptom when synonymous with “crazy’s” slang usage. Ever smelled that “crazy” bouquet of rubber glove milled on blue rock with tall grass baby poo and garnished with the green clover marshmallows from Lucky Charms cereal? It might make you vomit, but it can be stained onto the aromatic fabric of reality.

I mean no offense and offer this all with good humor. Perhaps I haven’t finally come down off the high of Independence Day’s Chinese fireworks or some other mental shit floating around in the air.

Bastille day is a week away and it is a great wine day for me, so it better be for you too. Consider yourself exempt from celebration if you live in a former French Colony or are suffering the brutality of either the Foreign Legion or the recession; If it is the latter, go by some grape juice now and poke some holes in the bottle so it can ferment for a week in the fridge or a few feet underground- but again, I jest.

Smile- if only at my own stupidity!
