      I’m stuck at 14:24 as well, lol.

      But I do like the new look…snazzy and jazzy. Upgrades, without fail, alway have a hiccup or two. I haven’t lost the faith, don’t worry 😉

      BTW, great guest, so far at the 14 minute mark. You two seem to play off one another quite well.

      This guy was so full of himself. This was a totally non-WLTV style show, imho. Too much Aspen, not enough Jersey.

      c’mon BF(d) just because he overuses totally doesn’t mean he is full of himself. If the world was full of Jersey-ites, wine would be pretty one dimensional. “Now, I’m naht sayin whut that dimension is, see, because it’d be a pretty frickin good dimension, know whut I’m sayin?”

      Jersyisms aside I loved this show. Aspen is an AMAAAAZING place, and anyone lucky enough to live there deserves tons of props. Great story behind the labels and the wine-making decisions. Next time I go to Aspen I’m staying at the Nell!

      QOD: I always get a deal at teh WL, dontcha know.

      Better hair this time. Not you, him. BTW no Le Chronique Grenache? I know you’ve never rolled that way but I thought you were at least a little gangsta.

    • Slick Nick: All of the playing problems should be fixed now. If you are having trouble, a quick refresh should do the trick!

      I agree, this guy seemed somewhat full of himself, and seemed to try to walk over gary’s scoring style. Maybe it’s just me…I don’t know

      QOTD: I once got 2 hookers for the price of one- best damn deal I ever got!

    • Adam

      The player worked like a charm for me. My only complaint is cosmetic. That green plus sign that scrolls across the screen is distracting to me. Sorry to be the turd in the soup-bowl.

      Gary, thought you were going to mention a signup link for the SF party…
      Its hard to pick a venue when you don’t know the number of people!

      QOTD: The best deal I have had in recent times has been dealing with Wine library. The free shipping and prices are fantastic. But there is even a better deal if that is possible. It’s free Wine Library TV!

      I like the new look – and it worked fine for me on the 2nd try.
      Don’t hear me complaining…. but as for the guest episodes – I’ve watched most (if not all) of them and – though I appreciate the novelty, I don’t get much out of them. There’s an inherent element of social grace that Gary has to wear when he’s face-to-face with the wine maker, on tape, which puts the whole package “on stage” so to speak.
      But then – it’s important to “try lots of different things”! And I guess we wouldn’t get Gary in the freezing storm, or in the tea house in London if we get too picky about how our WLTV is served up!

      “Totally cool” Nice hair, works for a great company, Relais Chateaux, which I have visited a few of their hotels but please stop saying “totally”! Let’s call him Valley Boy. That was my major complaint plus you can’t find the wines.

      $70 for a white and a CA Shiraz?

      There’s a question: What is the most you have paid for a white wine?

      QOTD: Best deal? It has to be your prices with free shipping.

      Hopefully one day you can make it down to the DC area. Totally man . . .
