QOTD: Watching the beloved Bears lose a winnable game against the Chargers and lose the heart of their secondary to a knee injury, probably forever. At least Jets fans felt like cheering Pennington’s replacement…

Agree on Olberman – he’s become one of those guys who acts like he thinks he’s insightful, but he ain’t.

Dude! The lurker shirt is AWESOME!!!!
Just received my black pig and innocent bystander!!!
I can’t wait to taste em, then go back and see what you said (I’m going in blind first, all I remember is that you liked them).

Sorry about your Jets. Lucked out with the Niners over here last night.

A day late and 280-some comments down, but here I am anyway….

QOTD: I would have to say people jumping to conclusions before they have all the facts or people making a mountain out of a mole hill. Either of these things make me bonkers.

College football shoutout: Go Huskers..bring on USC (better be careful what I ask for)

New episode-lets go!

Alight, alright…since I jumped at the free shipping I’ll leave my lurker ways and post. So there.

Cowboys fan, so I’m feeling all right. I’ll feel better when my Altesino Rosso Di Altesino and Black Pig show up at my door step!

Keep up the good work…love the show.

Just waitin here for 312….Go NATS!!!!!

weeeee. about to hit tj’s for some sippy sipppp

Alright, here ya go Gary I’m lurker number 11245 and I’m posting in the comments. Can we have a new episode now?

Gary…You finally did it, you got this ‘Lurker’ out of the closet. Congrats, keep up the great, great work, been watching the show for quite some time.

All the best!!!

Thanks for the Dolcetto review…We’ve tried a couple that have been disappointing and look forward to the Grimaldi.
However, your own disappointment about the Jets seems over the top. It’s a long season and not shipping to Mass. is akin to shooting yourself in the foot.

QOTD; The Christian Right…can’t get worse than that. Oh wait! How about all fundamentalists right-wingers of all stripes? Pretty creepy.

QOTD: officiating in football

hey, look on the brightside GV,,,turns out the Pats were cheating (but we already knew that, didn’t we…?)

New to the show and wine, and not a lurker now…
I’m writing from a military base in Okinawa, Japan — I’m going to try ordering some wine, hope it gets here. GV – I’m originally from Mass, so don’t know if you’d rather have me lurking or actively rooting for the Pats. GO PATRIOTS!!

QOTD: Bronchitis

Sorry about the J E T S. I have a feeling every team in the league is going to have the same problem with the Pats that your boys did. My team won though (Go Pack Go)

Great show, I’m all about going out and getting lots of value wines! Keep ’em coming!!

Love the value week. Thanks for the free shipping,said my happy bday to Sasha.QOTD As I’m a day behind with my comment because of my trip to the Monday night Football game Bengals-Ravens( Who Dey).I have the benefit of the tuesday media blitz And My answer is those Cheating Patriots.Thanks Gary and WLTV crew.

QOTD: People that don’t follow through……………

I am a lurker but have been looking forward to this Monday. I am a die hard Patriot fan but use to be a New Yorker. Gary – you wouldn’t be able to understand the electricty and buzz this time of year in New England about Red Sox, Patriot and the Bruins unless you llved here – it’s a away of life. It’s going to be a tough NLF season and evreyone team is going to be hard pressed to beat the Colts this year – we shall see. Cheers – Kevin M

This is my second comment in as many months, does that qualify me as Lurker-lite?

My wife says I’m a cheapskate, so the value episodes are right up my alley (though I disagree wholeheartedly with her assessment).

Gary, do you really think the Pats were trying to steal the Jets signals? I would be soooo shocked. Regardless, GO PATS.

Freeeeeeee shipppping! Weeeeeeeee!

QOTD – no free shipping.

Thanks for the value week GV! As a grad student, it’s a major plus for me to get wine at a reasonable price (like those I found in France) and to make sure that they’re worth it. I’m sorry you’ve felt so sad after the unspeakable event this past weekend, but cheer up! I’m sure the Jets will persevere! Thanks for the special code on WL.com (although it made me sad that you didn’t want to ship to MA anymore, as I’m originally from there!) Oh and the comment on the last wine about HI-C and bacon almost made me spit out all of my wine over my laptop whilst trying not to laugh!!!

And definitely sent Sacha V a birthday email!

Sorry about the Jets, Gary. I really am not an NFL fan, but I will root for your Jets just because I support all things Vaynerchuk.

QOTD: It makes me sick to go to a wine tasting, and no one except me does a sniffy-sniff. They don’t know what they are missing…

QOTD (sorry forgot it): Not being able to get wine as cheaply as in France. ::sigh::

I thought of you Gary when I was in traffic near the stadium in a sea of cars filled with sad-looking, green-jersey-wearing people. Thanks for doing the no-scores week!

QOTD: Going out to dinner with people who, when I bring a bottle of white wine, say “Oh, I NEVER drink WHITE wine,” with a dismissive shake of the head, as if to say, “I only drink SERIOUS wine” …and then, they plunk a bottle of YELLOWTAIL MERLOT on the table

First off HAPPY BIRTHDAY SASHA!
And yes I meant to shout.
Kudos on trying the Lemberger. I love to explore and that’s one I’ll have to try just to say been there, done that.
Condolences on the Jets’ defeat.
