Good Thunder show, as usual, man.

In case anyone’s curious about Mahi, the winemaker there, Brian Bicknell, is one seriously sharp dude and a very nice guy. He made the wine at Seresin Estate for several years and did a lot of winemaking in Chile. Mahi also has a very bright, cool viticulturist, one of the most highly respected in the region. So the mad props from GV shouldn’t come as a big surprise. I was really impressed with these guys’ wines at Seresin, so I’m glad to see they’re bringing the thunder on Mahi.

QOTD: I predict that the Thunder Show gets a band, and hires away Paul Schaffer from Letterman.

QOTD: I predict that in the year 2008 Michal Jackson will make his own wine: Kiddyland Ranch Reserva. Jesus, I don’t even want to think of what he’ll use as a fining agent. Gross!! Also, I predict I will CRUSH Winelibrary if there is not a “LINK IT UP! MOTT!” T-SHIRT within the first 4 months. Justin CRUUUSSSHH!!

QOTD: The two cute little girls showed up weeks ago(R they your daughter, Gary? I am not sure…) will be the co-hosts of 2008 WLTV to lead this most loved teenager internet wine show. They will taste every wine and spit them out. And they can claim on the show that they don’t drink any wine because of the excellent spitting they have leant from WLTV…

I’m pretty P.O’ed about the Death of the Goosenberry. Now I’m on the “Mar-qwiss”, not “Markee” as in Phillips rant.

QOD——–you’re going to be the first online winedude to do a show, “BOTTOMLESS” behind the desk.

Wish I could be there in the store! We all fear change, sometimes it’s good, sometimes it’s bad. I foresee the thunder show continuing to kick as right here where it is and it’s popularity continue to grow. The web is this shows home town, who doesn’t love a home game?

2008 will be the year that you finally decide to follow your dreams and start Yellow Tail Fridays!

Great ep, as always, the Quintessa sounds awesome in every way except price.
QotD: I can easily see Gary picked up by the Food Net, and all the best to him! I just hope that he can keep online access to whatever evolves fron WLTV, so that we who live outside of North America can still be along for the ride. Happy holidays, and a prosperous new year to all!

QOTD: Gary gets challenged to a wine tasting throwdown by Bobby Flay. Gary wins, of course, when Flay spits and misses the bucket. Mop it up, Mott!

Great show, I’ll take 4/5 any day and I recently had a 99 Opus 1 and was not impressed to say the least I would say 86,87 points.

QOTD It would be crazy if they gave you a show, but I like the way it is now. Keep it up have a happy and healthy holiday everyone!!!!

Quintessa is good stuff. They have a cool tasting room and do a very nice job in presenting their wines. A host or hostess serves you wines and wonderful cheeses and they have very sharp looking placemat maps of the properties and where different grapes and clones are grown. They get into the whole biodynamic thing. Prediction: WLTV buys out Rupert Murdoch and Gary V. becomes THE Media Mogul. Woo-hoo!

Dear Gary and all, happy holidays and merry Christmas. Yeah, it is coming. 🙂

QOTD: Food Network baby!!!

I am astonished that they have not scooped up your show. Then again, all the best shows are always cancelled.

QOTD: Hopefully the Thunder Show stays as awesome as it is now. Have a safe and happy holiday to everyone at WL.

you’re description of the clio was on point, great analogy and I feel like I know exactly what you’re talking about. on california cult wines, I see what you’re saying about opus, insignia, etc, but I I thought the 04 caymus was a great effort.

qotd – bigger and better. you’ve been gaining momentum in the past month or so and each episode is topping the last. in 08 I see more interesting themes, more contests, guests (bring sasha back) and trips, all in all just more thunder.

one more prediction… the link it up mott shirt happens in 08

QOTD: In 2008, local wine shops start routinely adding GV scores to their bin tags. Hope you get a piece of the action!

QOTD: I predict that I will be on the thunder show in 2008. 😉

Hey GV, hope your Jets win so that my Steelers can get to the playoffs.

Predictions for 2008:
1. Mott will do an episode
2. Barbara Walters will want to interview GV
3. The Jets will still suck

QOTD: Hopefully Wine Library will get large enough so that they can ship wine overseas…

For 2008, I’d like to see more tastings with a theme such as all zins or cabs, or highlight regions, such as paso robles or barossa, etc.
Have a great holiday everyone!

QOTD: I would like to see you at Art & Wine Festivals.

I just received my bottles of 2006 Nora Albarino. I’m excited about trying it on Christmas Eve with my friends ad family! Even though you said that that wine didn’t really appeal to you because of the fruitiness. I’m taking your advice and see if this wine will appeal to my palatte or not. I’ll let you know the experience I get after I taste it, and see if this will bring any thunder to me! LOL

Thanks Gary!

Great ep, GV. That was fun! Hope you and your family has a healthy and happy holidays and New Year.

QOTD: Thunder Show integration with Cork’d and it would be great to see it move beyond a Web TV show to a network show. Just dont forgt about us little Vayniacs!

QOTD: In 2008
1) Wine Library will begin to ship to Minnesota
2) Vayniacs will be given a “special everday code” for free shipping.
3) GV will make Sportscenter as he hugs the Jets 2008 #1 draft pick 15 seconds after the draft pick is announced.
4) GV will take a week off wine tasting after he eats a contaminated bit of dirt on The Craig Ferguson Show that was contimated from an area pulp and paper plant.
5) Late in the year, Wine Library will announce a definitive agreement to acquire The Wine Advocate, but the deal will fall through on concerns about the weak US dollar and Americans declining interest in French and Italian wines.
BIG YEAR!
