    Now that was the THUNDER!!!

    I was a little worried after reading the comments from yesterday’s episode. I was worried this whole thing was going to end. I was sad. Boy was I wrong.

    Way to step up. Website chase was hilarious, I’m still laughing!!
    Keep doing what you do, that’s why I’m still watching every day.

    Too much fun Gary. It’s amazing how much talent you guys have and how these shows continue to be new and entertaining…ALL THE TIME! FOR FREE! Now, more free stuff and a treasure hunt? Are you kidding? Life is good, kinda of “like a fine woman in a belgian bar” (my vote for new t-shirt), or for the fairer gender amongus, a fine man in a belgian bar. Thanks for giving soooo much!

    🙂 I want to take the Oak Monster along with me, as a protector, too! What a great way to use him for GOOD. (Just like what Yukon Cornelius did with the Abominable Snow Monster…)
    QOTD: It is UNBELIEVABLE to have this every day. Thank you.

Well…it’s really a…it’s really a…well, actually…oh, my God, I’m so sorry…it’s really a Bordeaux glass. I’m so sorry! Please…please…I’m so sorry!!! Oh, my God…I feel so guilty.

    I love chenin blanc. It’s actually my favorite white wine varietal right now, I don’t give a damn what anyone thinks. I think it brings the intense tropical flavors of the sauvignon blanc with a bit more balanced acidity and great structure (at least in the ones i’ve recently come across). I love what we have here, It has expanded my horizons so much I can’t even do it justice with words. the first thing I do when I get home from work everyday is watch WLTV.

    GV – Mark Twain said “It is very wearing to be good.”

    I just want you to know that you are doing excellent work and making a difference. Every show I watch I learn something and get to laugh too.

    The scavenger hunt was the best and another example of creativity at work.

    btw I just checked and GaryHasMeInStiches.com is still available.

  • Dodger Blue

    Gary, that was hilarious. It is another instant classic.
    However, you dont have to be a wine nerd or super over-the-top hyper guy (although I really liked ^^).
    We, Vayniac, love you just the way you are. Thank you always.

  • JOEinLA

    Just keeps getting better ……
    I appreciate you too and thanks for consistantly charging forward. I know how tough the grind can be, day after day. The only part about my weekends that I don’t look forward to is no show!

    Seeking out some Asinone.By the time I see the show every night, sometimes the wine is sold out…like this time!

    QOTD…This forum reminds of a giant tasting room in Napa where everyone wants to enjoy great wine and have a good time doing it~

    Thanks GV

    As I twittered you, that 6-part scavenger hunt was a terrific way to start my weekend.
    Your least convincing one was the mad guy. Try as you might, Gar’ — you’re just not a mad guy! That’s why we luvs ya!
    Your nerd guy was a bit like a Finalist-turned-Runner-Up we both know!
    Many thanks for yet another unique, fun one!

  • Dodger Blue

    Hey, Gary. I’d like to add one more thing.
    My good old Dodgers lost today to Mets.
    I was in not only dodger blue but real blue.
    But you brought my hapiness back.
    Thank you again g.v and wishing well.

    Happy Birthday Miguel, but don’t drink the Whie Zin!

    QOTD – Yeah, it’s pretty great.

    “Garyissorry.com” – what a ride that was, you tell it Gary, that was fantastic!!!!! (“Like a fine woman in a Belgian bar” ????) and no, you haven’t Jumped the shark, even with the Yellowtail (loved that spit).
    No apologies necessary, keep on doing what you do, if it’s anything like today then I’m in for life.

  • Gary, your little bread crumb(read: webpage) trail was fantastic. Seriously, if I didn’t already have my best man picked out, I would have asked you just because of that! Yes we should all hate white wines for the “B****** children they are!”

    great Ep, gary.

    For whatever it’s worth, My mom is now the marketing person for her winery(mad promotion), and just received an article about you during a meeting to which she responded “my son has been telling me about this guy for months!!”

    QOTD: you have nurtured a fantastic community. I have been a member of numerous gaming forums over the past few years, but I think that you have created a superior community of simply great people. Cheers, bro

  • Steve-o

    sorry, but i commented before i went on your wild internet ride, AND i accidentally send in two requests for wristbands…feel free to cancel one.

    anyway, I, for one, will never begrudge you for ANYTHING. I think too many people take web 2.0 free content for granted, and it’s obvious those are the kind of people who have no idea what goes into a podcast(especially a daily one) like yours

    Keep bringing the thunda’

    Gary – Thanks for the belly laughs I got following the web trail (and the reward at the end).

    Just keep doing what you are doing my friend. I know you are doing things right just by looking at how much I have spent at WL over the past year. Just have to make sure the lovely wife doesn’t find out!

    Wow, scavenger hunt was awesome and damned enjoyable.

    Gary, it seems to me that certain people think that you OWE them something simply because they watch WLTV…Crazy…Keep doing what you’re doing, any damn way you wanna do it. Keep bringing the thunder and the Vayniacs will keep bringing the love.

    I’m off to drink a case of Yellowtail Chardonnay…

  • Gary, when I log on at 10:00pm and find there is no new episode, I simply assume you couldn’t marshal the time and focus to do justice to an episode. I’m sure most viewers understand this.

    That said, it is particularly satisfying, come Friday, to have enjoyed a full five days of your variety of stimulation, especially with a glass in hand.

  • Great episode, the hunt was hilarious and a great response to yesterday’s fiasco.

    If you want to provide 7 days a week of entertainment, knock yourself out! I know I’d watch everyday.

    That was fantastic – both the episode and the ‘other’ thing (let’s not give it away). After reading the comments on the previous episode I felt sort of depressed myself, thought that maybe you were giving up a little bit on this. I should have known better, sorry!

    I also do feel there was a slight change of direction back towards educating a bit more, and although you shouldn’t become Sir Gary I do feel that it adds a lot. As obnoxious as Sir Gary was, I couldn’t help thinking it was interesting getting some info on the Cotes Rotie :). Also information like how a wine will age and what sort of food it would pair with is always good to hear…

    BUT (and this is a big but), in the end I watch this because of the genuine enthusiasm and the fact that the show has me laughing and smiling so much. That’s the essence – all the other stuff is just bonus!

    I think that also answers the QOTD, in a way.

    My own QOTD: what’s up with just having City/Zip/State on ‘that page’? How about showing some love to your non-US fans? Also: should I feel guilty asking for the new one after getting the old one just three weeks ago? The new one is just too awesome… but I’d feel sort of bad asking – you guys don’t even get any business from me…
