Can I be a snermit? I have told folks, but not too many. And I’d love to spend more time on the boards than I can during the day.

GV, feeling your score on the Kim Crawford for sure. Picked one up after the WS came out, and it felt waay more one-dimensional than a 92 point wine should. It was good, just not that good. I wasn’t as psyched about the Kim Crawford as the 2005 Huia, for example.

Great show today Gary! Plus, you made SoCal happy…a good thing.

QOTD- The hermit became a sneezer after getting my daughter hooked on the show, meeting you in Chicago, and so many great shows and wines. Cheers!

Nice number. Very attractive. It suits you.

I’m definitley an (A) – “Sneezer,” and I’ve sneezed on several people… including wine store owners; WLTV is a great conversation starter, because I can say “what do you think about WLTV.” “what is WLTV”… etc., and then I get the opportunity to share what I think about wine.

Some people have reacted by saying “why would you watch a video about wine”; I think some people have lied to me saying they don’t know about WLTV.

However, I must admit that a year ago I was an extreme lurker. I came across WLTV on youtube, and I watched some guy swish wine in a spit bucket….. How did I watch one episode, and then become hooked at episode 198? I didn’t watch a single episode for probably about a year.

garys trying to make money. What a marketing scheme, trying to make people feel bad for not alays talking about him. We should get some royalties!!! or perhaps free shipping on good wines. I sneeze all the time anyway I’ve been obsessed with the wine library since my pops took me there last year, I tell everyone about the WL.

Gary,
Here is the formula…..

C + B + free shipping = A 🙂

sneeze-lurker

Gary – Great show. Great energy. Great wines. Big fan of that la Garrique. Also big fan of NW syrah/shiraz. Gotta seek out that Rudi Schultz.

QOTD – A “sneezer’ of course! But you know that since you met a friend of mine at seder in Harrison who should have given me the shout out to you so you would know I’m spreading the word…

If you post that you’re a lurker, doesn’t reality fold in on and destroy itself?

I suppose hermit, then. But a hermit with some ’05 Garrigue in the closet, so I’m digging that.

Wait, I’ve got something in my nose … 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0!

There, that’s better.

Love Kim Crawford wines – always good values. Have you had the ’06 Cairnbrae “The Stones” NZ SB? I was blown away – and $9.99 too. Worth much more than that.

QOTD: sneezed alot initially, but more of a hermit now. Not sure who else to tell!

Nice episode today! I can hardly wait for the Bordeaux episode….really looking forward to it!
QOTD: I’m actually more of a throat-clearer, but that wasn’t one of the choices.

QOTD: No QUESTION…I am a SNEEZER!!! I tell everyone at any venue with wine…and my friends and co-workers know about you…They thought you were my new “internet boyfriend” I had to explain…no…

But maybe I do have a little crush! (younger men..hmmm)

PS..love the code behind you! Way to hook the math teacher crowd!

QOTD: I’m a Shawn Marion. I don’t go sneezing the word out to everybody, but if the situation comes to me, I’ll go full throttle talking about the show and before you know it, got a double double.

Gary, Gary, Gary….Thanks for the love! Your message and the bottle of wine with my wife made my 30th B-day truely special. Thanks so much. I am hoping to some day make it into you store as I had someone in the forums who has been to Ontario and WL say our stores are 1/100 of yours in terms of selection and service.
QOTD – Sneezer – I have 4 friends who are serial lurkers. I never see them in the comments so here it goes. Matt, Jon, Fiona, and Tony, get off you asses and show Gary some respect! Even a, thanks for the show will suffice. I also ran into a local politican and told them about your show and how we should stop our government monopoly and let some private companies in. My QOTD to you Gary is……if that happens, will you open a WLTV in ONtario?
Thanks again for the B-day wish….I know you are a busy guy so thanks.

QOTD: Sneezer!! People keep asking me where did you learn all about wine? I say WLTV Baby!! My video entry in the Ultimate Vayniac contest was even shown at my Rotary Club. I was bombarded with questions about it and I SNEEZED all over the place. The club was one Giant WLTV Hanky!! 😀 Love Ya Gary and I’m lettin’ people know it!! 😉

I sneezed a sneeze into the air
It fell to the earth I know not where
But hard and froze were the looks of those
In whose vicinity I snoze.

I’m a careful sneezer. I told my cook friends, and not too many others. I’m in college, so I don’t think there are a lot of people looking for wine.

Gary, Great show dude! LOts of energy! I am so Fu##ing excited about the BRDX stuff coming up!
QOTD: Sneezer. Talk wine in the Surgeons lounge almost daily. At least hooked 3 this way!

QOTD: Sneezer,,, to the point many have gotten tired of all the snot I’m getting on them, How’s that? and Acousticdoc…… Kiwanis is where it’s at!

I LOVE the digg reference.

Information wants to be free!

(and I am a software guy!)

Gary great show today… Qotd I’M a snezzing hermit…I tell my good friends and relatives about wltv but I don’t yell about it from the mountain tops. I wear my vaniac t shirt around town and when asked tell people about it. However there is small piece of me that wants to keep WLTV to my self… I guess It’s like a really great bottle of wine you want too share it with the ones you love so they can share it’s greatness but there is a small part of you that wants to drink it’s glory by yourself… Keep up the good work GV. I love the show and the forums and everything… It’s my great bottle and I’ll always share it with friends and family but the others will have to get there own.

I am a little of all of them. I lurk and dont comment. I sneeze, but only to a few friends that would appreciate wine and WL. I also hermit and keep those good bargain wines all to myself so the people I sneeze to dont snatch them up before me!

Also, more cab sauvignons!

QOTD: Sneezing more every day.

QOTD: A contagious sneezer. My buddies are catching on but still lurking – they’ll come around.

GV – I finished law school today and celebrated by drinking the 1999 Pierre Morlet with my wife!

QOTD: I was a hermit for a long damn time, but I’ve become more of a sneezer in the past few months. I’ve gotten most of my closest friends fired up about WL, and sometimes I email links to recommended wines to friends. However, now that WL’s no longer shipping to Nevada, I’m not sure what I’ll become.
