Hi from Australia. I found you via facebook page “Top Australian Wines”. I’m a novice wine lover and I appreciate the encouragement to get to know my own palate. Heading to the Barossa this weekend to start doing just that. Thanks.

    You turned me on to WLTV and since I’ve been telling friends that if they want to know a whole lot more about wine they must visit the Vayniac Nation!

    QOD: I discovered WLTV about a week ago after searching for “wine” on youtube. Looks like I might be the only one to find it this way…

    Anyway–first time poster, love the show. I’m addicted!

    Like some of the others, I was getting the WL e-mails and finally clicked on the TV link one day. Been watching ever since.

    I don’t recall when you replied to my last post, but it had to be past my bedtime. But then again, I’m old. BTW – my name _is_ Eric and when you say Australian wine, I _do_ think Shiraz. Are you psychic?

    Peace

    Hi Gary,

    Came across this site on Wine Lovers’ Page, where your mug has been making appearances of late. Very much a fan of what you’re doing here.

    Loved your advice about people needing to trust themselves instead of the experts. Have you read Wine Style, by Mary Ewing-Mulligan and Ed McCarthy? It’s all about helping people find what they like in terms of wine styles and tastes. A great line on the back cover says it all: “Who knows more about great wine than you? No one–when it comes to what wines will actually be ‘great’ to your taste. Wine labels and recommendations can help you make choices, but ultimately you are the best judge of the right wines for you.”

    Very readable, which shouldn’t be surprising as they authored the Wine for Dummies books.

    Enjoy the weekend.

    Waving. Always like to learn of new cabs. I really appreciate your statement at the opening. I try to tell my friends to chill out. Some of them take wine way too seriously.

    More imprtantly, how’s your home life? I mean c’mon, surely there’s something better to be doing at 3am than satisfying your fan base… What about the fan that awaits you in bed… Does she cry herself to sleep every night ;-)…

    QOD, found you on my own… But happy to say I’ve recommended you on a number of occasions to those I know and to those I don’t.

  • I have been late night emailed by Gary VAY-NER-CHUCK on multiple occasions. Not sure how he has the energy for the shows after staying up all night. Get some sleep.

    Old college buddy and routine pain-in-your-side /s/ Tim F /s/ broke your web site a while back…didn’t have the foresight to look-in then, but glad I eventually did. Good fun and learning a ton. BTW – he’s a HUGE GMen fan…

    Hi Gary,

    I have received a late night e-mail from Gazza. (That’s Australian for Gary, by the way)

    I first heard of Wine Library via the Mark Squires’ board. I purchased from wine from them, and was so impressed I kept up with the website, and then one day, boom! there it was – WLTV.

  • I first saw the review you did of Woot Cellars. I’m not that big in to wine, but watching the archives has gotten me more interested, and the constant updates will keep me coming back.

    I have been lurking for a while and just bought a few bottles. Anyone notice 13 bottles is only 2 dollars more then 12 bottles for shipping. Made me buy an extra bottle. Thought the Wine library readers might like to know if you didn’t already.
