I am very thankfull to have all these videos available.The evolution is so cool to witness and experience. I LOVE LEARNING! I have wanted to learn about and enjoy wine for SO long and I’m very excited to start my adventure here at Wine Library. Full Circle. Look out! Here I go!

    Finally saw episode #1. Man, how the times have changed and much for the better. This one seemed a little tight at first but then opened up a bit and now come Oct. your just plain off the wall. I think WLTV has to be the best thing to happen to stuffy wine tasting in a long time. Oh and I noticed the sticker too. What’d you do wash em pack em back in the box and sell them to Brandon. 🙂

    Went back and compared ep’s. Is amazing what 14 months can do, and how Gary went from “Yes, the nose is really rich…” to smelling burnt rubber, Cindy Lauper, and the Marlborough Man.

I’ll have to see if I can get by there. Thanks. And thanks to all the WLTV staff as well. I wish your store was in San Jose, CA!

    Hey Gary,
    After having watched a bunch of your more recent episodes I just had to go back and watch the first.
    All I can say is: WOW, you have changed a lot in the past year and a half! I’m glad to see that now you’re a lot more animated and enthusiastic, which I assume is due to your level of comfort with the whole process.
    Thanks for doing this G.

  • HEY GV

    SOrry to say just now I am going back and watching EP #1. YOu have stayed true to your promise of keeping it fun, lively, entertaining and educational. Keep the dream alive. I thinking I started watching around 135, so I am going to try and go back and watch each one up to that point. I have watched a couple here and there around certain topics/wines but only a few.

  • Watching this is like, popping a young wine, a little young, rough around the edges, but wow, getting to see what you are putting out now, is like enjoying something that has developed into a lively, fun, interesting and worth while investment of time. Thank you for what you do.

    Wow it’s so weird seeing how different it was back then…the camera was worse, Gary was less energetic…though the humour is still there. I like it.

    I’m trying to watch every single episode.

  • Wow – this is like watching Gary on Sedatives. At what episode does he make the transition to his current energy? I’ll have to watch them all.
