  • 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.

    I want to see a WLTV tailgating episode. THen we could see Gary in his element before a big Jets game. Plus we can learn what wines would go with a tailgate atmosphere… it doesn’t always have to be beer, because we are changing the wine world

    Ya, OK so I am a lurker! I have been enjoying your take on wine for a couple of weeks now and you have finally convienced me to come out of the closet. As a winemaker in The Okanagan Valley of British, Columbia Canada, I hope that one day you may consider an episode on our region. Thanks you for the light hearted take on what is way to often a stuffy topic.

    Gary – Here’s an idea on how to get TONS of comments – only offer free shipping next time if you get more than 450 comments (or whatever the record is). What do you think?

    QOTD: People that don’t take pride in their work.

  • JoeG

    Thanks for the free shipping GV…and I’m glad you got to the Value Wines week. There are so many to chose from when you go into a store, so it’s nice to know you may bring home an absolute steal. It’s kind of like bootleg DVDs….

    Anyways, QOTD: Did you hear about how someone in the Pats org was caught video taping Jets signals during the game???? That really makes me sick. I acknowledge the fact the Pats have a sick O-line and even better WRs, but are you really that worried about the Jets that you have to cheat? That’s low – and HELL YEAH Belichick took $1MM from Leon’s death bed. Such an a-hole..

  • Winelover4ever

    Definitely not your day body. I dont’t blame u; you seem to take this thing too serious……my Miami’s lost too and I still celebrated with a good wine….like i read once… “don’t take life too serious, anyway you’re not gonna get out of it alive”.

    Qotd answers: lack of common sence, injustice, bad humor people, abuse of power, a wine so bad that i have to throw it down the drain.

    QOTD: What makes me sick? The guy I have to sit next to on the bus to class. Why do I do it? I would rather spend my money on good wine than regular unleaded.

    QOTD: Suck-ups! People who think they have to be some one they are not to get a head… Especially to someone else’s standards.

    Thanks for the free shipping. Happy B-Day to Sasha, and thanks for the wristbands!

    Great show, sorry about your Jets…..until they have to play the Chargers. Hopefully the mighty Bolts will take care of the lowly Pats and Tom Brady on Sunday.

  • Gary,

    Just wanna say hi all the way from Brazil. I just discovered WLTV and I’m a new fan. I wish the free shipping covered Rio de Janeiro as well.

    By the way, here goes an idea for a show. In Brazil we make all types of wine. The reds and rosès still have a looooong way to go, but our sparkling wines, from the south of Brazil, are pretty damn good!

    QOTD: All politicians. Well, except for the only honest one I’ve seen in a while (can you say Revolution?)

    Making my order for free shipping… Thanks.

  • Azerule

    NO WAY!

    I had the Blue Franc just last nite. Picked up 6 from the winery, it’s a nice fruity everyday drinker along with a lot of the other Shooting Star label wines. Also got it for about $8-9, so it’s great at that price.

    Too bad about those cheating Patriots, but you’ll wish a niners fan good luck tonight, won’t you? Let that inner 49er come out, Gary.

    Happy Birthday Daddy V!

  • Brian

    Nice value wines. Can’t wait to try them.

    sort of like the post Jet loss Gary in terms of show demeanor. Strips away a lot of the over the top stuff. Sorry about the jets though. Bill B is indeed a punk.

    QOTD: free shipping when I pick up my orders.

  • Yay! You finally did Lemberger — Thanks!!!
    I’m sorry you’re not getting along with Keith; you know you two are my nightly news boys…. 🙁 I hope you make up soon.
    QOTD: People make me sick… I know that’s pretty general, but I guess I mean some of the things we, as humans, are capable of doing maliciously or out of ignorance.

  • What’s up with the Pats using a camera to steal signals? They’re baaaad!
