    Gary,
    Wine Library TV at its best. If I want to hear about over-hyped, over priced wines, I’ll read “you know what”. WLTV is becoming THE source for the good stuff! Cheers!

  • Changed my wine from last night.
    I was gonna drink the Eleventh Hour and switched to the Merry Edwards 2004 Klopp Ranch Pinot Noir.
    It was pretty good, but not as good as the ’03.

    I have been a daily watcher and lurker since the Wall Street Journal article. I really enjoy Wine Library TV. Each episode is great in its own way, but I loved the diamonds in the rough.

    QOD: Best cartoon of all time – Bugs Bunny and the Barber of Seville spoof

    Keep up the fantastic work, Gary. We love WLTV.

    Courageous Cat and The Flinstones…it’s a toss up.

    Just wanted to make a comment if I might re: WLTV/Gary V appreciation. After your Chianti episode a few days back, my b-friend picked up a ’04 Toscolo Chianti. Had a little when I got in from work last night with my midnight bowl of pasta/pesto. Right away I got a nose of those little starburst fruit candies. I share this with you because I just wanted to let you know that watching WLTV and listening to your descriptions has opened up my senses even more and that we’re not crazy when we smell things like mud, tar, wet rock, tootsie rolls..and that is not an indication that a wine is going to be lousey. Thanks for the ongoing education. BTW, pretty good little wine for the value which was, I think $9-10.
    Are you still sending t-shirts for 1st post? I never thought I’d be a “1st poster”. I just logged in to check out yesterdays episode, never expecting that you’d be online with todays already. Now, back to playing WLTV catch up…

    Bengals and Buckeyes – Undefeated!!! ’nuff said.
    QOD: Flintstones, ScoobyDoo, Road Runner vs. Wyle E Coyote.
    GV, Thanks for an interesting episode. (not to imply that the others aren’t) I will definitely try your picks. Made my mouth water just listening to you.
    How do I get Chris’s spreadsheet?

    Loved SeanM’s comment.

    This might be a first – Gary tasted 4 wines and liked them all. Maybe he pre-tasted them before airtime.

    Favorite cartoon(s)? I’m probably dating myself, but it’s “Rocky and His Friends” and “The Bullwinkle Show.”

    1. Foghorn Leghorn, I say…I say…I say there boy!
    2. Bugs Bunny, Hatfields & McCoys episode

    PS don’t knock Chad P…….you could have Chris Sims and his whopping 39 quarterback rating.

    “Rooting for the NY Jets . . . so you don’t have to.” – WLTV 9/13
    “Drinking crappy Chianti . . . so you don’t have to.” – WLTV 9/15
    “Finding diamonds . . . so you don’t have to.” – WLTV 9/20

    Gary, is this a trend?
