Wait. Something fishy here. I was comment # 11. Now I’ve been pushed down to # 13. Do WLTV staff get ranking privileges? 🙂

I just Googled, and was surprised to read that the UK has over 200 wine producers! Yeah whiskey and ale, but who knew about wine? Maybe something for a future episode?

Finally a night off from work at the restaurant, and top 30 in the comments? I’m extatic. AND Gary and I both love tea? AMAZING! Also, thank you Gary for the “Introduce Yourself” link- I’ve already had quite a few welcoming responses. Keep it up, big guy! (and now to watch the rest of the episode for QOTD…

Wine TV is wild, crazy….My palate responds to this Wine Library TV..like….this is unique..its crazy…Never had this sensation from Internet….Let’s score wine TV 99 points classic!

Great Job on the one year!….I’ll be ordering the shirt

QOTD: Had no wine life a year ago until moving to Indiana…It was that Oakford Vineyard 95 cabernet and wine library TV!

Keep it real in London GV

QOTD: I now buy wine online and trust that it’s going to get to me without a problem.

Congrats on the one year, Gary… What’s in store for year two?

Thanks for the episode Gary. Congrats on reaching 1 year. Amazing really.

QOTD: Well, I could make a joke about having no money left and no space to store anything 😉

But in all seriousness, the change in my wine world can be summed up 3 ways:
1) I’m drinking a 2004 Domaine La Garrigue Vacqueyras tonight! Me! That’s awesome!
2) Not only will I be drinking the Vacqueyras, but I’ll be sharing tasting notes with my friends!
3) In about a month I’ll be going to my 3rd wine tasting dinner in 4 months, with a bunch of great people. How amazing is that?

Thanks!

Tea? “Camomile” I’m guessing Eric never bought any since the spelling is not even close.

I think the British have it right by having “afternoon tea”. I remember this while on vacation in Bermuda when we skipped lunch, had afternoon tea with scones and small sandwiches and then a late dinner. Very nice.

Free shipping! I just placed an order two days ago and it should be delivered to the office tomorrow! Oh well. I need to go order some tea!

QOTD: What has changed for me wine-wise in the past year? Obviously, WLTV and your informative, funny and exciting reviews. I HAVE to watch every day which is saying something since there are only two or three things I HAVE to do: work, sleep, workout. Other than that, just realizing how much more I need to learn and want to learn about wine.

Gary: Happy 1st Anniversary! It has been great and “thank you”!

Cheerio!

QOTD: one year ago I had no wine “collection”. I bought as i drank, once in a while. Never scored wines, gave TNs, just said “this is good” or “this is bad”…but wine was wine. Now i have approx 175 bottles in 2 coolers, I drink and taste as often as i can, records TNs, score wines, and buy buy buy. WLTV has been a big help for my learning.

Congrats on first year Gary and WLTV staff

Cool tune. QOTD – I have a whole lot more wine in my place now. Enjoy London, congrats, and please keep up the good work.

QOTD — Redundant, but spending more money on wine and drinking more of it. It shows in the waistline as well as the wallet. No complaints, though.

Congrates on 1 year my Friend…Hope many more to come…Maybe a show on NBC? Maybe next year you will be guest hosting for Oprah…
QOTD: Just like Justin, I find myself trying new thing…and even enjoying some of them…

Mazel Tov on your 1st year!

Happy Anniversary Gary! Nice tea episode, are you going to put on your smoking jacket on Friday and do a Ports and cigars episode?

QOD – Biggest difference for me in the past year has been a bit of a tone-down in chasing expensive, high-scoring wines. They still catch my eye, and wallet, from time to time, but as often and price is more of a factor.

A First Anniversary Tea Party at the Muffin Man in Kensington — how veddy, veddy civilised!

Tasting & scoring tea just as you do wine – jolly good!

It was fun finding you in your first year of WLTV – thanks to Lars for that.

QOD: Wine is now actually a blip on my radar screen – thanks to you for that.

Here’s to another, and many, many more.

Happy Anniversary, Gar’!

Happy Anniversary Gary and the whole WLTV family. Many kudos to Erik and all the guys behind the scenes for all the hard work.

QOTD: Two things have changed for me. I got married to the most wonderful woman in the world. You met her Gary! And, I found WL and WLTV. It is not kiss assing or glad handing to tell you that WLTV has inspired me to take my interest in wine to a new level.

Here’s to another great year of WLTV, and safe travels!

Cheers!

Sweet deal on a T while u sip ur tea 🙂 Happy Anniversary Gary! and many, many more….

Since I’m majoring in music and I have a lot of free time on my hands….What if I composed and recorded a quick Jingle for Wine Library as sort of the theme song to play in the beginning?? Thought that would be a cool idea….

Congratulations on WLTV’s one-year anniversary!
QOTD: A year ago, I didn’t even drink wine. Now I’m taking classes and seminars, going to tastings almost every weekend, and educating myself as much as time and opportunity will allow.

GV- Thanks for the Tea Episode! (TLTV?) Coincidence? While watching the episode, I’m drinking a pot of Golden Monkey, my favorite! (black, Fujian Provence, China)

Incidentally, Lapsang Souchong is also a black tea from the Fujian Provence of China, but it is usually smoked over a fire during processing

QOD: 1 year ago today I had about 30 bottles stored under the sink; never took or read tasting notes; It was just thumbs up or thumbs down. Then my fiancee bought me a 48 bottle wine refrigerator and I started watching WLTV; The fridge is now stuffed full with about 55 bottles, and there are another 140 in the closet, 48 futures purchases, I track my inventory and make tasting notes on CellarTracker… and I love it!

Fantastic ep!!
Thought: Is it possible that Gary’s passion for wine and black tea is because both have tannins?
QOTD: Well, I pay a lot more attention to what each wine I drink “brings to the table” for the price (quite a modest budget for this guy), and I’ve tried to buy outside the box of large new world producers, and have been buying some old world (Bordeaux and Rhone for the first time, as well as values from Spain), as well as varietals that I’d never heard of before WLTV.
I know you said that this ep is for us, GARY, but THANK YOU so much and sincerest CONGRATS to you and the whole WLTV team.

Congrats on the one year from someone who has only been watching for a few months!!
QOTD- When I open a bottle I now go for the full experience, I focus on the aroma before the glass touches my lips. when I do taste, I take the time to taste everyting thing in the glass instead of down the hatch look out tummy here it comes. I have only been around WLTV for a short time but what a difference. Thanks!!

Thanks for the mention! Was quite surreal to find you sitting there.
As for tea, I spoke to quite a few BBC staff at FOWA, and was outraged at how few have stuck to tea and how many have switched to coffee. Where have all Standards the BBC used to stand for gone? I don’t pay a license fee to have them drinking coffee!
Anyway, well done on the anniversary, if I had paid attention I would have got you a card.
