    Couldn’t help but notice the comment ‘who doesn’t like having nuts in their mouth’ during the ingestion of the South African Sauvignon Blanc- something you need to tell Lizzy?!

    Hey Gary, Welcome back; nice new place you got here. Thanks for reviewing the Kangarilla although it sounds like their 2004 100% Shiraz might be a little bit better.

    I’m new to wine world, but as far as I know viognier is a white grape and shiraz red. Are there some more wines which are blended from white and red grapes?

    Nice episode, and like the new format. I agree with some of the other posters: I for one do not like nuts in my mouth. but to each his own.

  • Gary, I watch WineLibrary TV every day for your enthusiasm and positive, playful attitude toward wine. This is also reflected in your openness towards using new technology to upgrade our WineLibrary TV experience! I like the new website and love the unintentiional 3-D aspect of friday’s show – the wine spilling onto my laptop, the wristband bumping off my screen etc LOL.

    WineLibrary TV is only 242 votes out of first place for favorite blog at LocalWineEvent.com! Let’s make our favorite wine blog #1 http://www.localwineevents.com/blogs/blog_list.php

    If anyone has extra time, they can also vote for my blog, too (don’t worry, I’m plenty of votes behind Gary’s) http://www.localwineevents.com/Blogs/blog-233.html)

    I am seriously starting to think about putting together an audio show highlighting all of the catch phrases you use in each show…like a “Rome Report” for WLTV. What do ya think?

    Not into the song. Don’t want to be a meanie, but the word “sellout” comes to mine.

    Everyone loves WineLibraryTV cause it’s raw and real.

    It’s kinda like that fantastic TV show in it’s first year, people are having parties around it, then the network get’s greedy and the magic’s gone.

    Love the new Diggs Gary! Very Web 2.0 (maybe 2.4ish). Couple suggestions:

    1) Easily accessible “comment” link on the front page.

    2) I liked the links to WL homepage and WLTV Forum at the top of the old page, maybe move those to the top.

    Great job as always!

    Being that I am usually a creature of habit I was initially thrown off by the look of this place and it upset me a little. I also don’t know if I am the biggest fan of the cork’d background for some reason the white did it for me. BUT of course Gary is the man so I’m staying for sure.

    PLEASE HAVE MAYNARD JAMES KENAAN ON WLTV!!!!!!

    Pretty digs. I like the larger video image, but it’s a coarser image. Regarding the Bordeaux episodes, they were really interesting (although not as high energy as the studio segments), but the audio was so quiet that I couldn’t really hear any dialog well. That was a big disappointment for me. The wine blending was cool, and could really be fun.

    QOTD: Angle is a little low. Framing a bit tight. Otherwise, great.

    Larger video, very nice. Elderton Command, meh. It is what it is, but not my cup of tea.

    But: where are all those wonderful links to the forum and the questions page and all that fun stuff? I miss those, or am I looking in the wrong place?
