Thanks for what you do!

How about a contest that’s not video-based? Some of us aren’t quite as skillful in the medium or just don’t have the equipment. Here are a couple ideas:

– Design a new WLTV tshirt
– Suggest/Plan/Sketch a new feature of the WL network that you could implement

Thanks for doing a super tuscan ep!

How sweet to be #2

How sweet to be #3

How about a nice simple raffle? I’ve got a bag full of “2 of clubs” right here. I’ll come out and let you pick.

One of my favorite eps: GV at his irreverent best: playful, relentlessly honest, affectionate.
QOTD: Ask viewers to review a wine.

Super Tuscans were my introduction to wine years ago, well after I found that I like wine.

Finally – great episode

that’s right gary. f’ pretention. thanks for the episode!

Thanks for the episode, Italian wine was the first red wine that I fell in love with. Had a great Sangiovese last week on Vacation, but I didn’t write down what it was. LOVED the look when you said “sniffy-sniff” the first time (even though I’m not crazy about the phrase.) QOTD: Theme song?

Well, I saw the episode click onto the site at around 5:30 and then as I went to play the silly thing – down it went. I almost was on my way to first today! Drats, another time. Super glad things are up and running… maybe all your new fans are clogging the site?? 🙂

GV,
Great episode. Love Italian Red. Really love provolone. My favorite cheese.
QOTD: Most consecutive days posting a comment to WLTV in the top 50 spots!

Great episode Gary – glad to hear about the Altesino – I do have a bottle but was expecting to be “disappointed” by another “90” rated wine under $15 – now I can’t wait to try it.

QOTD: Lottery – totally random.

I simply don’t understand how you can drink wines that are so big and really invite to putting into the cellar so young. The Siepi will be soooo much better in 10 years. I just had an ordinary 2002 Fonterutolli a couple of weeks ago and it was far too young. I had an ordinary 2001 besides it, and it was delicious, but a super wine from a super winery: give it time, although you dont´’t have it 😉

Or perhaps it is just your American palate 🙂

Ahh, Tuscany. How I want to go there. 🙁

QOTD: I like the theme song idea. If only I could compose…

GV- thanks for another passionate episode! I was at Fonterutoli last year and loved all they poured (although for 5 bones I dont think I recieved the Siepi).

Hi Gary, great show as usual!

What was the name of that cheese? Provolone mandolini? I can’t find much on google about it. I want some with that Altesino. I hope I can find both in SF!

Here’s an off-topic question – what are your favorite Rhone or Chateauneuf-du-Pape wineries? We are staying in Seguret for a few days during our honeymoon in October and we’ll be doing lots of wine tasting. I’d love some recommendations if you have favorites in the area!

Thanks for doing what you do!!

Kim G brings up an interesting point about drinking wines too young. There are some people who can really get a sense of where the wine will be in 10-20 years. I am not one of them, that’s for sure. Then you can bring up food, which complicates–in a good way–the question of when to drink a wine.

QOTD: Who can send the most divine wines to Canuckchuk in the next month–a great contest. I’m slightly ahead at the moment, but there still is time, fellow Vaniyacs, to win this contest!

Go, Gary! I like the idea of just picking 3 random winners out of whomever posts a comment on a designated prize day. You could limit it to people who write, say, at least 5 sentences (so you don’t get people who just say, “Pick Me! 🙂

Anyway, you could avoid having to pay for the prizes each day by getting advertisers to “donate” products, say, iPhones or whatever, in exchange for ad space on WLTV. You could avoid p—ing off your old viewers by limiting this ad /prize giveaway to one day per week. Make sure that you make it worth our while. No crap prizes! But you could give away a WLTV t-shirt with every sponsor prize that is given out–let the winner pick which one they want. You could keep people viewing every day by keeping the 1 day a week a secret. This week it might be on Monday, next week on Friday. The truth won’t be revealed until the next WLTV day.

Can I be your manager? I’ll work for wine…… 🙂

Great show!!! As far as a contest…i’m going to have put thought into that one. Damn the pressure!!!!
