Zoom, zoom, zoom. Extra padding at edge of video with nothing going on. Could you zoom in a little? More face, more wine = good times.

Seriously, though, thanks for doing for us, I love it, and it helps me buy wine.

So Where’s the value Solanes?

Hey there Gary,
First time viewer. What a great concept. I look forward to more episodes. J

Gary,

I love the video blog and have watched all of them, but its seems like you were very excited when it first began and the excitement has somewhat slacked off recently. In the past 65 days, there have only been 11 episodes. Now, I know you were out of town, but there have still been some long gaps since you’ve been back. In the beginning, you were doing 4 or 5 episodes a week. What happened? Is it not working out like it used to? Not really complaining, in fact, much the opposite. I just would like to see more frequent episodes, like there were in the beginning. Thanks.

Marc

Gary,

I love your PodCasts and am a big fan! I listen to you talk about these great wines and deals but can’t get in on the action in Minnesota. I know the Minnesota laws have recently changed making it possible to buy wine through the internet and have them shipped. I don’t want to miss the big sale next week but as it stands now, I will. Can you help?

Hi Gary…

I’d love to see Mrs Susana Balbo from Argentina in the show sometime. She’s worth it.

Ha ! I KNEW it was Mondavi…
Great show. Great site. Now if I could only get delivery to Dallas…

Gary!! What happened? We are a week away from not having a new episode in a month! I’m going through WLTV withdraw!
I hope all is well with you.
And as long as it is…Get your arse back in front of that camera!!!!
Sorry I am going through fits of rage without my WLTV!!!!!
Please help me……

Great insider stuff from a great name.

GaryGary,
The wolves are at the door. As the character in Copolla’s (sp?) ‘The Conversation says, ‘If he had the chance he’d kill us all’. Mondavi, despite its great pedigree, is the death of wine. The wolves are at the door.

New book on all of the “trials” and tribulations of the Mondavi family:
â??The House of Mondavi: The Rise and Fall of an American Wine Dynastyâ? (Gotham Books, $28), by Julia Flynn Siler, who writes for The Wall Street Journal from northern California.
Interesting stuff. Let’s get this dud back on for comment!

I an a priorat newbie so this was great!

This was awesome! I love Robert’s (I *can* call him by his first name, right?) wine. I’m glad that they have managed to stay in the business one way or another.

Hi Gary, I have rarely come across such a big as..ole like that Mondavi junior guy. I was with you during the show…..Damnd! That guy should sell stuff at the crap yard.

Drink from the Naval of your lover? – Best WLTV quote so far. Good episode – hey Gary do you think Spain is still a value region or do you think the wines have become monotone at the value price ranges?

very cool insider info

word 56 “in”

Nice to see Robert Mondavi Jr. on as a guest. Always happy to see as many episodes on Spanish wine as possible too. Great values coming out of there. Robert does come off as a total businessman, which always makes me a bit more skeptical about what I hear. If you could get a vin jaune winemaker from the Jura region on, and do a vin jaune tasting, that would be fabulous. A charbono tasting would be alot of fun to see also.

Can't belive there are only 18 comments with a Mondavi on the show..I believe his Dad is Michael Mondavi?? If so, I met Michael last year at the WL and he was a great guy so I see where Jr's personality and looks come from. Priorat is a great varietal and I love Spainish wines. http://www.winelx.com

What a show, the guest is obviously comfortable in front of the camera and it shows, awesome. I’m going to buy a bottle of Cims right now, this is how passionate you guys were.

This is ridiculous. Gary always tries to introduce panic to justify high
prices. As a matter of fact, what he does is exactly this salesman
strategy with the goal to produce high prices. “Be fast! There will not
be enough for everyone! Look how the prices rise, hurry hurry stock up
stock up!!” This is ridiculous! And 2005 Bordeaux from todays
perspective, did absolutely nothing to wine prices over the world. They
rather stayed quite the same. Bordeaux is a completely different spot.
There you do not pay not for the wine but for the label that is on,
nothing more. Because we all know that Bordeaux is completely
overpriced. And In my opinion the prices for Bordeaux will rather go
down than up in the next years since you get comparable wine for way
less money. Who pays 500€ for a bottle of wine is a fool. Stop the price
panic making!
