  • Wednesday

    I never understood that special component of Ruffino that made it fly off shelves.

    There are other internet shows?

  • I can’t believe this, but I DID say it with you, out loud, at the end. Which proves that
    [QOTD:] WLTV IS my favorite internet show, and the only one I make time in my busy schedule to watch, day in and day out.
    WHOLE LOTTA LUV 2 U!

    QOTD: WLTV is the 1st and ONLY web video I watch and no plan to pick up any others soon. That said… and yes… this part is for real… at work today I drew up the plan for how I will keep up on new shows, but go back and watch the majority (if not all) of the past ones… I’ve started at 330 so I should be done in a year at most.

    I said it too, and there’s no one here but me and my sleeping son.

    QotD: Diggnation, which is where I heard of WLTV. Things in common? Both podcasts are genuine and real.

  • ImFeelingFitTony

    Yeah, I said it too. Kind of whispered it, much liked the subdued 3/4 of the show, but still, ended strong, almost full voice.

    QOTD: there are other internet tv shows? i really wasn’t aware. especially now that i subscribed through iTunes i don’t even need the internets.. Once noon EST hits I click refresh every 15 minutes, play it on the iPod during the late afternoon commute and comment here after re-watching. There really are other internets tv shows? no kidding.

  • I agree…Chianti’s can be such a hit and miss sometimes…I have tasted some really good chianti’s and will seek this one out. As for my time on the internet, I really get into youTube a lot…some good viewing there, be it comedy or wine. I also will spend sometime on ESPN365 to view games and sportcenter…or RAI, so I can stay up to date with Italian football. My question back to you………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………do an episode of the day in the life as the WLTV Director of Operations…you know…show us what you do….when you have your coffee break…or when you meet with your rep’s, or yell at your staff for low sales #’s….LOL….heck…we want more GARY V….stop holding out and bring us more THUNDER!! Keep it real….how about them Giants!!!! DomtheSomm!!!

    Yet another wine earns the dreaded “meh”.

    Never got the whole podcast thing. Maybe if I actually bothered to get one of those iPod thingies, but then I’d have to figure out some way of plugging it into the car …

    I’m not thrilled in general about watching stuff on the laptop–why, when I have a TV three times the size? and it’s not right in front of my face?–but you’re worth it. How’s that for fuzzy.

    And damn it, I liked the retro NY Titans uniforms.

    Great episode GV, I’ve had a few chianti classico riserva’s in my short lived wine life, but your description makes my pallet scream: “I WANT a Selvapiana Bucerchiale Chianti Classico Riserva 2003!!”. Anyway thanks for bringing the thunder, don’t forget of your mexican fans!!

    QOTD: 1 WLTV, 2 Diggnation, 3 TWiT.

    Adiós!

    QOTD: WLTV is the best show on the internet. Where else can you get a completely unrehearsed, unbiased wine review from an unrepentant Jets fan. I particularly like it when Mott stands on a chair beating on the overhead lights while Gary does gives the Chianti a sniffy, sniff. You should make a reality show for cable TV…it would be interesting to have another camera filming Mott, filming Gary, while Gary does an episode.

    QOTD: ESPN’s PTI, baby!

  • Mason

    Well, there is another one I can put on my list…Thanks for the recommendation!

    QOTD: WLTV is the only show that I watch on the internet. I don’t really have time to watch anything else. I normally have to wake up during the night to watch WLTV because there is so much going on, so I don’t really make time for anything else on the internet.

  • GV, a little fun fact of the day for ya.

    The Ruffino was my very FIRST bottle I ever had over $20 when I was in college studying wines of the world. I absolutely HATED it with a passion and I hated myself for buying it. In college I was strapped for cash and this bottle absolutely pissed me off. To this day I have been trying and working very hard to forget that grudge and bury the hatchet on Chianti. Still not favorite wine style, but Iâ??m now to the point where Iâ??m open-minded enough to give the other Chiantiâ??s of the world a chance. â??Garbage truckâ? strikes a very deep chord with me, but I keep on trying every single day. ;]

    And howâ??s the Thunder Cat collection coming? We #1 yet?

  • QOTD: Other than WLTV, my favorite web show was “the show” with Ze Frank, while it was still going. Now that it’s over, your show is the only one I watch regularly. btw, I’d just like to say that Diggnation is AWFUL, and I don’t know why anybody wastes their time listening to those idiots. Yeah, I know, they’ve mentioned you in a couple of episodes. And that’s good, because they have an insane number of viewers. But your show is infinitely more valuable than theirs. There’s no way in hell that I’d take a break from an insane schedule to waste my time watching them. Nope. WLTV is my official study-break.

    Great show, I love Italian reds. IT is funny how the “main stream ” Chianti’s are really not all that great. There are a ton of great values to be had fom Italy in the price range and lower of today’s show.QOTD I only watch one Internet show and that’s this one.Thanks Gary and WLTV crew.
