QOTD: Gary, by the end of 08 the President of the U.S. will be seen extending his glass and pouring some wine on the table as a salute to his White House guest. This will become the rage and necessitate the creation of the Thunder Pad to place on the table to catch the wine. Thunder Pads will sell in the millions and become an art form in itself.Padools will be Radool. Cheap knock-offs from China will enter the country, but will be unworthy of a Padoolspill. The craze of Padoolspilling will of course run to excess in the CKC whose anxious parents and profs will point their fingers at you,GV , and you will be villified by the press and compared to the Oak Monster.

QOTD: I see a new opening and a new closing for the show. Also, more guests and contests. =)

QOTD: My prediction for WLTV in 08. Lots more guest appearances by industry people and Vayniacs alike. More on-the-road episodes. More contests. More give-a-ways. More schwag. At least 8 free shipping announcements. Continued diversification. You know… more of the good stuff.

in 2008 you’ll change the name of the show to “The Mott, Link it up, Show!”

Yeah!

QOTD: in 2008 free shipping codes every day! j/k. My guess is more secret pack / semi interactive type stuff.

QOTD: Hey, about syndication or franchise?!
GV, whatever happened to the lazy friday couch, it is missed; “Mott, couch it up!”
Have a great weekend everyone.

For 2008, could we have a monthly GangTasting and have a shipment of wines sent to us so we could taste along with you. The Christmas Eve show will be my first such, but every time you have this tastalong, I want to be involved.

A regular spot on The View opposite Whoopi.

QOTD
how about drinking some wine, people should come for the wine.
the other day you said something about drinking some older bottles. i like that idea a lot.

more links to other wine blogs… burgudy report, rocks and fruit, wine Dr. bring those guys on. lyle on rocks and fruit has some bones to pick these days.

EP # 500. rawk!
what about bringing on the laywer from Md. on?
more wine makers
more vouvray : )

where is the what will you drink for noel this year?

qotd:
more wine tasting. why mess with a good thing?

PERFECT TIMING!! Gary, you saved me 60 bones. Was going to pull the trigger on the Clio and de Crasto today. Based on your reviews, maybe I should just put that money into the Chateau Angelus 2005. I’ve had my eye on it for months now.

QOTD: prediction … no TV (but probably have to turn down a couple of more offers) … Paul Shaffer will leave Letterman and join the show as musical director and Stuttering John Melendez will leave Leno to become the announcer … Tonight on The Thunder Show special guest appearance by Robert Parker with Paul Shaffer and the band and now heeeeeeeere’s Gary Vay-Ner-Chuck!

qotd: in 2008 gary will start a second internet show exclusively about football so that he may return to actually doing a wine show and gary will begin using 2 buckets…one for spitting and the second for wasing wine. the latter of which he will place behind wine library at 5:30pm.

QOTD – Interest in the show will wane, signaling the need for a format change. But demands on your time will affect what that change will be. Personally, I would like to see fewer shows — say, 2 or 3 per week — but with increased emphasis on quality. Perhaps 1 show a week will be a panel of 3 or 4 ‘co-hosts’ who will taste and discuss a few wines, another show will include a ‘special’ guest. And a third (and last) will be you doing the usual.

Hi Gary in 2008 you will do another buch of shows, another buch of vaynyach wine and maybe buy the Jets but I wish you a kid because it’s THE gift of life as wine is…

MD

QOTD: Shows will be M-W-F with more guests. Format is good, but the recent show with Jeff Davies was what is needed, he represents the wineries and that is needed, IMHO.

QOTD: dude don’t go on TV cuz part of why WLTV is cool is that it’s online and slightly anti-establishment – 2008 brings more thunder and wines from off the beaten track from places like hungary, romania, michigan, virginia, brazil, and uruguay

QOTD- 2008 will see over 1000 comments on days you give nothing away!

QOTD: I make it a point not to predict anything. I’m usually wrong.

Good friday show. I wish I had the scracth to get one of those Quintessas.

QOD: predictions about things that will NOT happen in 2008 for WLTV and the WL

1: there will Not be a wish list incorporated into the website

2: the store will Not enlarge it’s parking lot forcing people to continue to park at the Taco Bell next door

3: you will Not be making a WLTV trip to Tampa in 2008!!

lol!!!! hopefully i’m wrong on these tho hahahah!

have a good holiday GV

I hope the show concentrates on great values from established regions, like yesterday’s Bordeaux show. I think that is where we learn that under-marketed wines with great tradition can be tremendous values.

Mott –> Link it up! Tee. I vote YES. Another Radool show Gary.
