QOTD: GV will bring WLTV to Jay Leno and David Letterman and make them eat dirt!

also GV will get a Food Network special about how we are all changing the wine world.

WLTV continues its Radoolness!

QOTD: In 2008, we will see the Thunder Show going to a more “On Location” format. It’ll be fun at first. There will be upstart boutique wineries, slick businessmen, and wine-associated companies hurting for publicity all trying to jump on the GV train (… like that? almost sounds like the ‘gravy train’) and get GV to do a show at their place. Then, things will start to sour. The “Oak Monster” will become a friendly, plush toy. Sweaty socks and asparagus-smelling wines will become a BAD thing. Gary will start to cheer for the Patriots… It’s all part of Gary’s slow, inevitable march toward the temptation to sell out to Marvin Shanken. Will he resist? Stay tuned. We’ll know in 2008.

Man you’ve got me excited about that Mahi. Too Bad about the reds. As far as Spain and Portugal go, I know lots of wines at half that price that would kick far more ass. Happy Holidays to everyone!

AND WE NEED A MOTT SHIRT!

In 2008 the earth will quake at the awakening of a new age of wine enthusiasts. This onset will be induced by none other than Gary Vaynerchuk. People not afraid to reconceptualize their world will be released from their cocoons of inexperience and doubt and will be jet propelled into a future where the enjoyment of wine is not limited by knowledge or taught by any man, but is instead complimented by the love of wine and the mystique of culture and the urge to get out and try something new!.

2008: So much wine. So little time. Taste on brother. Taste on.

QOTD: IN 2008 Gary will switch to a NY Giants Spit Bucket!

First time lerker

QOTD: realtime tasting on WLTV, live shows from other parts of the world

GV, come to RSA and taste some radool stuff….

About Quintessa, taken from the web: Quintessa is a selection from 170 acres of vineyards, mostly planted to cabernet sauvignon, along with merlot and small blocks of cabernet franc, petit verdot and carmenre.

I would love to find the Mahi over here in Germany!

2008: Try new things! Please go and seek out more “new” stuff for us… My recent experiences for instance with Brazil wines were really mind opening! I think in 2008 you will get the honor for changing the wine world since EP#1! What ever that means 😉

Would the shirt be, “Mott, link it up!”, or would it be, “Like it up, Mott!”? Cuz I’m not too big on option A, but I like option B.

I think that your own idea of more guests wil be important. You need strong guests who will interest your viewers and interest you. You have to avoid getting bored with yur own format. Strong guests should help. Going off-site is a lot of work, and it dosn’t change the wine. However, going off-site may help if it makes more guests available to you. Another advantage of off-site is the possibility that it could help marketing.
Just go with your gut, and good luck!

Nice show very to the point but more or less on the expensive side. I bet by this time next year you will embrace the oak monster.

Rowdy show gary! thanks for brining in the Jumilla (ITS ABOUT TIME)!!! Interesting fruit bomb i bet, most of the Jumillas i have been drinking lately are a polar opposite of your description of the the Clio. Most of em have that earth, and acidic backbone that make me keep coming back. great episode!! p.s. MORE JUMILLA ON THE SHOW!!!!

QOTD? KEEP ON RAGIN LIKE YA HAVE BEEN. THATS WHY WE LOVE YA!

QOTD:
1- International wine shippings
2- More giveaways (ho yes, we love that!)
3- doing an episode on Israel wines (and visiting us)
4- keep on rocking!!!

Great show, thanks,
T.

oh yeah gary v your getting huge, your getting a show on cable tv for sure… you sign next year and begin full time in 2009. have fun btw your rad, as long as you do a daily show, on a chanel that comes in a normal package

Nice show…even at 6am.

QOTD: I am not sure what to expect for 2008. After watching Episode #374 and then going back and watching Episode #18 I did see something that I liked in both episodes that you use to do in most of those earlier episodes that you have almost stopped doing in the past 100 or so episodes. Want to know what it is??? More detail about the wine, the grape, the region, the people behind the vineyard that particular wine comes from. Tell us a story like Mr Davies did on almost every wine you two tasted. You use to do that a lot but don’t seem to do it much anymore. I would rather watch you taste two wines and then tell us a story behind them than to watch you go through three, four or five wines and no story. I am fairly new to wine and if you want to keep us new Vayniacs or “want to be’s” attention for any amount of time I think 2008 needs to be a lot of the same thing you already do along with an “old twist” of telling us more about the wine. Don’t get me wrong, I love watching what you do but I really think Episode #374 showed me what I would really like to see for 2008. Bottom line: JUST KEEP ON DOING IT but maybe a little more info.

Gary….spent many months just lurking while I caught up on all (and I mean all) of the past episodes here on the site. I got to see your evolution in a much shorter time frame than the vayniaks that have been here from day one. I guess the best part of the show is that we get to hear and learn about wines, from a guy that is so grounded in his youth that he is comfortable making Ric Flair comparisons. I am not sure TV is your calling, politics plays too big of a role and th often determine who you should be. Don’t change just for TV, your real niche is here doing small focused video bloggin where you control the content and the direction. Keep it up, and best of luck in ’08.

beam me up mott!!! kissin baby butt? is baby butt a wine flavor? ahh..snow peas!busy-hell yeah-i drive for a wine company and they wore me out so much on friday that its saturday morning before i can watch this show. i hope you read my late comments …(yeah gary you remembered its goose -no en- berry)….should i have two bottles of the mahi with my mahi mahi?short term memory loss takin over on the cali chard?so cali can stand up to burgundy ?what?!i dont know,gary…but if you say so maybe i ll have to try it…and im gonna have to have it with fish…(er).DONT FOLLOW RULES!i had an old duro last week it was reserva 2001 yeah! and it brought tht thounder. douro is up and coming!natural alcohol was damn high from the home of port, but the backbone held it together.holly bleep tht clio!!!15 years ago i could get jumilla for six dollars.no-five!ive delivered the clio and knew it was a hit but i dont roll with the fruit roll up bombs….sorry(bam,bam-have you been watching emril lately?)yeah bring on the funk train sewer and garbage…is this cool like a play by play while i watch or does that suck?next year yer gonna be old school already.;)? (what does that mean?)

old school is the only cool radool school.

Great show loved how $100 smells like garbage.

For 2008 I see more guest appearances and more guest spots for yourself on broadcast TV. The forming or partnering of an IP TV conglomerate to bring down broadcast television would be nice to have.

No “Link it up Mottttttttttttt !”

You suck Gary !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
