Great show! Don’t like idea that there may be an end to all of us not getting the benefits of your knowledge. I agree with earlier comments about not having to respond to all of the comments. You have a family and you cannot spend all your time with WL and WLTV. Tough to get work out of your mind when you seem to enjoy it as much as you do, but you must.

QOD – Of course. Love your enthusiam, your honesty and your knowledge. Don’t let us down by bailing out too quickly.

168… do you have a little one coming?
I’ll echo the comments telling you to slow down to avoid burnout. I almost left my profession for good after burnout. I resolved to never let that happen, learned to pace myself. As you’ve said, the important things are family, friends, etc.
So cut back to once or twice a week for WLTV or whatever. You’re going at an insane pace, slow down before you crash. Things much more enjoyable and sustainable when done at a steady pace.

Gary,
Great 200th episode. Because it was so long, I had to view it in multiple sittings. You tasted a lot of wines that I am looking forward to trying. By the way, I submitted my basketball picks. I look forward to claiming the winning prize of a 3 mixed cases consisting of 2000 Bordeaux, Rhone wines, and 1995 & 1997 Napa Valley Cabs. In order to get the prize to me, you should have my shipping address on file. You could throw in a Grange Vertical as well. Also, if you donâ??t mind, throw in some 2004 Bin 60A & Block 42 and maybe a dâ??Arenberg Dead Arm or two. Not dead bodies – DEAD ARM. Iâ??m looking forward to my winnings.

You seem to be a likable guy. Of course, if I ever meet you I might think otherwise!! You would be more likable if you became an OSU Buckeye fan. You know, the Buckeyes have supplied the Jets with some pretty good ball players recently. GO BUCKS!!

Congrats on 200 episodes. I am looking forward to many more. I hope you keep the show going because you are a good resource of information and I am sure that you have educated many wine drinkers both novice & experienced. Keep soliciting ideas from your audience on how to keep the show fresh. Personally, I like the tastings of about 3 or 4 wines. Keep having occasional guests, and do some blind tastings every now and then. Do some verticals if you have them. Whatever you do, donâ??t burn out!! Donâ??t feel as if you have to put out a show every day. Do whatever you need to do to keep the show entertaining and informative. Thanks

Congrats on the 200, let’s get a Ripken like number up there to shoot for. QOTD – Yes

Gary!! Congrats!!! This was a great episode and I will have to try that case when I get 200 bones to put into wine. QOTD: Yes.. but I think we should just be friends for now. Anyway… Dude..I’m not sure if you noticed or not.. but the trash talk on the ESPN page has already started. Bring it. j/k .. but seriously.

QOTD: I like and admire you, G.
Bon voyage to my beloved France, mon frere.

How can I not like you? You’ve made me into a wine geek in the best possible way. Here’s to another 200 episodes.

Gary great show and there better be another 200 episodes or im gonna be pissed. Of course I like you. Thats a stupid question.

Pure genius !!!
The show, the wine. Lovin it. New fan here !

WHOAAAA! Where to begin! Top 3 episode.When you’re in a hurry you come up with the best sensual descriptions! Also appearing are great phrases, “Stop drinking junk Chianti!”, “….gets a little insecty”, “..it’s becoming WLTV-The Movie” Whew!
Thanks to Erik, Chris and YOU, Gary Vay-Ner-Chuk, my brain is overflowing with all this new wine knowledge and my wallet is quickly emptying because of it. Have a fantastic trip and come back with some more specials for your devoted fans. Keep It Real, my man!

Congrats to the WLTV crew on #200! I greatly appreciate WLTV, the forums, and the Wine Library for educating and entertaining me at the same time.

QOD: “Do you like me?” Sounds like a song in Fiddler On the Roof, no? (“DO I WHAT?”). Well, I probably would if you’re anything in real life like your online persona. You seem to be a lot of fun, but you definitely also have a sensitive side (why else would you even give a damn if we like you or not)? You’re into sports, wine (a little), great food and restaurants in NYC, so it also seems that we have a lot in common.

BTW, have fun in Bordeaux.

Gary- If you must know, your affiable nature coupled with your frustrated comedic timing make you one of the easiest guys to like in the known universe. Now, if you can only find a way to continue to deliver your show without overdoing it, we will all continue to benefit from your effort…

Gary-
You made it!
200 episodes!!
Congratulations!!!!!!
🙂

Gary-
12 –
Count them 12 wines!
You must have been feeling
energetic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOW!
🙂

Gary-
QOD:
Yes, I like you.
Why do you think I am still
watching/downloading your eps?
There are some podcasts out there
that I tried and did NOT like.
Gary on WLTV is a
KEEPER!!
🙂

Bravo and encore bravo Monsieur Gary !
So excited that you tried out the Chinon la noblaie 2005..can’t wait to try it myself!
FC

SS-
I hope you are
eating your
wheaties!!
12 wines !
UUUUGGGGGHHHHHHHH!
🙂

SUPER SHOW!!!! You worked hard on this one and it was memorable; the price range puts these wines within the reach of “the rest of us.” I’ll be referring back to this episode many times.

What’s not to like eh? This episode is exactly why I like WLTV. A great take on wines, many of which I’ve never had. Trying to find a wine that would not stink up a Seder is always a challenge. This inspired me to try several of the wines mentioned. Thanks for 200. Looking forwar to at least a few thousand more.

QOTD: I do like you… And your pink shirt.

Thanks Gary,
I like you in a manly way…I like Canada too, we’ve got great wine but no pink, (I mean rose’) shirts.

Congratulations on the 200 episodes! Here’s looking at the next 2000!

Great tour de force tasting through those 12 wines! At least they were your choice and we got no stinkers. Thank you for the excellent selection of values in our price range. I loved the country choices too. 3 from Spain, 2 from New Zealand, Italy and France, and 1 from Argentina, USA and Canada. I guess that tells you where to get your quality value wines. And the Petit Sirah was not a real value at 32 bones!

QOTD. Of course we like you, with your few defects and many virtues. That’s why you have 20,000 people watching. Wow!

Thanks for everything you do!

GV,
Thought you were tasting the Hammond tonight as part of the mixed bag tasting? no?

Hey G, THANK YOU!

I do like you because you have love for the wine newbies and lurkers. I’ve always been interested in wine but I could never find that jumping off point, I always felt so “out of the loop”. Well you brought me in the loop then put me in a headlock and gave me a noogie and I couldn’t be happier. It’s strange to say but my life has improved in real verifiable ways since I started watching your show so again, thanks.

This episode is amazing. I find myself wanting to put together this case for my wife and me and get going.
