    Great episode Gary, QOTD: I download the episode so I can watch it again and again without putting a strain on your bandwidth.

    Wish I could have popped open a couple of sparkling wines myself, but I got the good old wisdom teeth out today, the Tylenol 3 is doing wonders. Gives me a good while to catch up on back episodes.

    Gary my question for you is: What do you do with those open bottles of sparkling wine (or any bottles) after the show?

    I watch the shows on my iPod on the train, morning or evening which ever time I am awake for the ride. I also watch the shows on the website with my wife.

    I don’t know how you think you could get past Gillette Stadium without shaving.

    qod: I watch download WLTV through iTunes so that it automatically loads on my iPod and so most episodes are stored in the same place. Whenever there’s a problem w/ iTunes I download directly from the site instead, but I don’t like to because iTunes refuses to store the episodes with the rest of my podcasts when I download them that way.

    Cava Rules! I could not agree more with you more. I drank a ton of it in Barcelona on my Honeymoon. Isn’t pinot noir a red grape? How are some of these white sparklers 50% pinot noir??

    QOD = I watch it at home on my computer sipping on some VINO………

    Gary,
    Yeah I agree that Cliquot is a bit over rated. I’ll take the Soligo over it anyday.
    It was funny you mentioned WLTV users at 499 cuz I saw that stat earlier today and thought you’d mention it. QOTD – just d/l it from the web site. Thanks again for all the hard work.

    QOD: I watch WLTV at home on the website on my laptop, usually after dinner. No wine, though. The daily glass or two of wine goes better with dinner.

    QOD: I used to watch WLTV in itunes but found that it was updating about a day behind.. it wasn’t FAST enough! Around 4:30pm or so I start refreshing the webpage to get the new episode. You threw me off today GV, had to wait till after dinner.

    I can understand why tho.. great episode! It was good to hear you describe how you view “real” champanges. Bubbles in the Hizzie for EVAH!

    Hi from Brazil!

  • QOTD-I watch WLTV on my Mac laptop – after dinner – while sipping a glass of red wine (tonight it’s a pinot noir, but often a shiraz or cab or zin) via my wireless cable modem. Usually my wife is next to me wondering why I am such a Vayniac, watching all these episodes about wine!
    Thanks for doing all this Gary. You are hugely popular in this household, and the word is getting out…

    I usually watch them at night on my wireless laptop. Sometimes, I read the comments first (like I just did) to see what up. This is the worst part of doing the SS…I can’t just really watch the episode, I need to transcribe…..and 9 wines….this will take an hour. Your killing me Gary.

    Just kidding (not about the hour)….I happily do this….love WLTV and VaynerNATION….ROCK ON, GaryV!!!!!

    Hey guys.

    I’m notified of new episodes via my RSS reader, and then watch on the site itself. Right now I’m sipping some 2004 Elderton Shiraz, and munching on a tuna sandwich. AWESOME COMBO!
