    Gaary,
    Exceptional episode, finally a hat trick! three great wines. I actually ordered the chennin desert wine from Wine Library, but there was a problem with my order, and I ended up changing some of my selections. Oh well my loss. Everyone that I talked to at Wine library did an excellent job fixing the problem, and I must say that the associates were professional, courteous, and customer service is just not a sign on the wall, it is the way you do business.
    QOTD; Its like we all have a friend on the inside, that is actually on our side. Plus the entertainment value, the QPR doesn’t get any better than this.

  • Randy B

    That was TFF! Had a blast chasing you around the web. Kudos.

    Can’t wait for the new cork’d. I’m using it now, but can’t wait until you make some of the changes you have been talking about.

    The WCC will be tasting what we call the battle of the 1999 Napa Giants this weekend (Mondavi Reserve, BV GDL and Heitz MV). Guess what we wear on wrists?

    Ciao

    GREATEST SHOW EVAR!!1

    Seriously, its pretty lonesome here at home with the wife being away on business for a month. You brought a smile and some serious chuckles my way (I think a now empty bottle of Ercavio helped too). You did Thor proud.

    My disappointment in your not trying the Sea Smoke Southing was quickly allayed by the the jocularity in following you on your budding acting career. You never disappoint. This was fun!

    Great show! Loved the Hunt. Keep up the Great work, i was drinking wine ocassionally then came across your show only a few weeks ago and have been getting into wine very fast and I am loving the experience and don’t see myself slowing down. I give you a lot of credit for trying to introduce wine to all generations so people don’t just always drink the same bottle of Yellow Tail over and over. Amazing job!

  • The nobility wine of Montepulciano has finally made its way to the WLTV community. A wine as nobile as this could have ended up Elegant Gary’s video blog today I think!

    You are quite the interesting fellow Gary, answering e-mails at 3 a.m., taping videos all the time, and, oh yeah…actually running a business. Good grief – where do you get all this energy?

    QOTD: I believe the above could have answered this, but I think I watch you more than I actually watch TV. So thanks for being my most watched talking head. No seriously; thank you for tasting wine with me, thank you for educating me, thank you for the free wristbands, and the list goes on.

    Oh. And thank you for making me not become a wine snob.

    Have a relaxing and restful weekend.

    (hmmmm….seems I’ve been missing the “back stage” action by ignoring the forums lately…what’s this treasure hunt…?)

    Well, he rolled the dice and drew snake eyes, but HE’S BACK!!! Nice episode Gary. I’m a huge Baumard fan, even though I’ve only had a couple of ’em. Classic wines.

    sigh…maybe I should at least lurk on the forums…so many forums, so little time….well, the least I can do is send my freakin Vayniac wristband picture, eh? Will get it done this weekend, and it WILL be worth the wait. Thanks Gary! Can’t wait for your visit to beautiful Portland, Oregon, which I’m sure can’t be too far away!

    Hello Gary, several things in my mind:
    1. Thank you for the shoutout! I had forgotten my birthday since I have bigger thoughts in my mind, thank you so much that was really kind of you!
    2. Wow amazing episode!!! a classic in so many levels; there was great wine, cheese, that double-ending and double “YOU, WITH A LITTLE BIT OF ME..”, the chase-gary-vaynerchuk sort of game which I know how much relief must have brought to you. (no kidding)
    3. It seems that with this mind cleansing you just did it starts a new era, well of course you’ll remember that this Monday the show turns a whole year in the “edgier” format. In those days I thought that there was no way you could mantain this level of energy for too much long, but you’ve made it, congratulations!!!!
    4. Thank you for the beringers and turning leaf tip, I DEFINITELY have to seek them out at the restaurant list!! I’ve found no scores yet, so this must be really under the radar!!! 🙂
    5. SEE YOU SEMI-LIVE ON MONDAY!!!

    I dunno, Gary, I kind of liked the elegance hour. It was actually still more enthusiastic than some of the Spectator online videos. I know WLTV has definitely changed MY wine world. I’ve even convinced my mom to stop drinking California Sauvignon Blanc!

    BTW: Loooove the coteaux du layon.

    Crazy Gary! Freakin’ funny goose chase! The Elegance hour almost put me to sleep after 2 minutes! Thank God that is not how you really are!

    If you haven’t already, how about a tasting of some older Zins sometime down the road? I know they’re usually made to be consumed when young, but just curious to see your take on some that have aged a bit.

    Great episode. My mouth was watering as you ate that cheese with the Baumard. Dang, you’ve got it good my friend (not without hard work, of course).

    How did you get to be so wonderful?

    Seriously, it’s so inspiring when people TRY. When they put themselves out there. It can be really hard to do. You happen to succeed (very much so), but what I love most is that you care, and it shows. It really is inspirational. Thanks!

    I really don’t know what to say. I’m overwhelmed. Can I go back to living my life the way I did before this show?

    QOTD: I found someone I know who is a lurker, a cab fan, and a former New Yorker. I told him to look for me. Hi Ray, it’s me.
