    First…. Happy Birthday Sasha!

    Gary, you may hate the Patriots, but the Pats fans (I speak for myself anyway) don’t hate you! You said WLTV was the #9 wine blog, but it’s #1 for me.
    Thank goodness, I live in NH …. FREE shipping for me!!!

    Sorry about your jets, but you called it!. Can’t wait till they play the Syeelers. If your lucky, you can play the Browns- they really suck! Thanks for the free shipping!

    I am surprised no one yet has a comment about the boxes that are accumulating in their basements or garages.

  • Thank you for that show, too bad none of those really seemed to make an impression.

    QOTD: Nouveau Patriot fans make me sick. You see Gary, I have been rooting for the Pats since I was about as tall as your Thundercat dolls. And they sucked back then. In fact up until 2001 they were pretty damned terrible. Then, they win a superbowl and of course I am super stoked and then suddenly there are Pat fans coming out the wood work. NO! NO NO NO! Where were they during the hard years?

    So…look man, I know how it feels to be in your chair looking at the suck-ass jets and thinking…damn it! I’ve been there. And you can talk all the trash about the Pats, they deserve this. The Jets will come out of their slump and I am sure they will eventually start stomping on the Pats and I will be sitting here sulking…

    I have no effing idea where I am going with this….

  • Dig the lurker T GV.

    Sorry ’bout the Jets loss, but the lackluster Seahawks managed to put enough of an offense together to get ‘er done.

    BTW, did anyone catch the record setting Us Open mens finals ? Possibly the best tennis player ever(huh) ? As the commentators kept saying, Roger Federer won his 4th straight Us Open. Okay, I know not many folks pay any attention to tennis, but I had to put my 2 cents in.

    QOTD: No shipping to Washington State !! What’s wrong with these stupid archaic laws that are still in existence. If the “Man” is so concerned with underage drinking then require shipping companies to get Adult signatures (Duh) like UPS does. How hard is that to figure out ? Okay enough rant.

    Happy B-day to Papa GV, Sasha !!

    I haven’t read all the comments, but did anyone else pick up on the “…so many people worry about the technology and technology, but it’s the content that’s king…” Was that a stab at our poor cameraman Mott?

    QOTD: People who waste time with thinks they don’t like only because they are actively looking for something to complain about…if you look through the comments above you’ll find at least one…

    GV,
    Sorry about the Jets. Thanks for the episode. Will have to try that dolcetto
    Happy B’day Mr. V!!!
    QOTD: Some really funny answers above. What makes me sick is the entitlement mentality in our society. More people should be like Sasha and work hard to make something for themselves.

    Oh, yeah, and mushrooms. They give me gas.

    QOTD: Joe Gibbs going for a 39 yd FG on first down with a young kicker instead of trying to get more yardage. Smells like Marty-ball, and we all know how that works out in the end. Also, people who don’t [even attempt to]use any punctuation or capitalization on IM, email or message boards. Come on, have some more respect for our beautiful language.

  • You know I was gonna try to pick up a bottle of red wine from Walla Walla this evening to drink while I watched Monday Night Football, but my favorite wine shop was closed already, so I got pretty bummed out…but that’s not what makes me sick…What makes me sick is when the nasty Cowboys beat up on my Big Blue Wrecking Crew.

    What a jerk! I can’t believe you’re not shipping to MA, that kind of stuff makes people write their legislators. =)

    Thirteen is the new ten? What happened to twelve, I thought twelve was the new ten.

    I’ve had a Blaufränkisch! There’s a wine bar here that has it by the glass (Weninger is the producer). It was delicious.

  • Gary – I’m with you. “F” the cheating Pats. And a big old FU to Keith Olberman too. I can’t believe that the Jet fans (myself included) would cheer Chad getting hurt. Chad has proven to be a great guy and a great Jet (even if he usually spends more time on the medical cart). Have to give the kid QB a hand when he came in.

    P.S. – HAPPY BIRTHDAY SASHA!!

    Sorry to hear about your disappointment over the Jets loss. You did call it though. Very astute.

    I did watch the game, and I was waiting to have the camera catch you jumping and screaming, covered in green and white face paint. I didn’t see you.

    Good ep. I will be watching closely this week, as I feel that your ratings and enthusiasm for low end price point wines may not be there as compared to higher priced wines. A lot of us do not have the means to investigate many wines that you have been delighted with in higher price points (above $20-25)and therefore look forward to any silver lining that you can find in these lower price point gray clouds.

    Chris,

    I take it Gary didn’t go for the raise pitch, eh?

    Winelibrarytv.CON is a bit harsh, no?

    What were the sirens all about? I sure hope there was an annonymous call to give Chris a raise or they’d blow the joint up or something.

    Nice shirt, Gary, thanks for the free shipping perfect timing. Email to Sasha in the morning.

    Stankin’ lurkers they dont do squat and get immortalized, I comment without fail and all I get is to buy the lousy tshirt.

    QOTD: Tickerbastard, Comcasttix, LiveNation, Stubhub, Tickets.com, eBay!! Bruce tickets went on sale this weekend. Hartford? check, Philly? night one, check, night two, check, CAA? night one, GA, night two, GA, MSG – shut out both nights. I’m sure I’ll end up in da house but the anxiety and maneveuring takes it’s toll. At least I’ll have a little rest before Boston goes on sale.

    Sorry you asked?

    I get it now why you hate the ne maggiots. What scumbags they are after hearing about that spying/stealing crap. That’s what makes me sick, especially after they got busted for it before and nothing was done. Their staff should be fined and suspended.
    They beat the Chargers first round last year 24-21 and it just didn’t seem right. Did their cheating affect the outcome of that game? Probably. Chargers play ’em this Sunday, should be good. Hope we ream ’em!
    Thanks for the show, good concept, nice tan.

  • What makes me sick? Wines more than $30 a bottle. I’m a grad student, I only have so much money! I can’t blow even $30 on one bottle; that $30 goes to trying three different bottles of $10 wine.

    So, thanks for the value week videos, garyv. I hope you do a ton more of them in the future, too. Cause really, if you want people to keep trying as much wine as possible, showcasing cheap, but good stuff definitely makes it easier to experiment and try.
