    I predict that in 2008 the show will go on network TV and that Gary will sell the wine library and go into the hot tub business.

    QOTD…..Can’t predict but I sure hope you can pace yourself and not burn out.
    So many demands on your time and energy it will be hard to keep focused on what is important. Love the show the way it has progressed so far. Happy Holidays to you and yours.

    Funny show GV. This episode may be my new pick for introducing newbies to your show (my old standby has been the episode where you take a bite out of your desk). Prediction for 2008? I think you’ve caught the bug for doing travelling shows, and I see more visits to restaurants and wine bars. I’m telling you – integrate WLTV into your trips across the country. But don’t go over the top with it; make it a once in a while thing. People keep watching because of what you’re doing NOW. Fun twists now and again keep it fresh, but it wouldn’t be WLTV without the red tablecloth, corks flying at the camera, and the chalkboard in the background. Like I tell you every time – keep it real.

    QOTD: As WLTV becomes more popular, your time will become more limited so you may have to back down from daily shows to either weekly or a few times a week I still don’t know how you find the time to do or record a show for each weekday.

  • Gary, I hadn’t watched the last two episodes until today, but I’m saddened to hear you won’t be making a “link it up, Mott” t-shirt. I find myself saying it often. I even said it to my wife the other day and she had no idea what I was saying. It’s worth a t.

    QOTD: Not so much a prediction as a suggestion/advice. Stay digital. Get an ad sales employee (or consulting co.) and formulate a good plan for not being a tv show (be it on the sadly declining Food Network, which I loved, or any other network). Own your content. Maybe sell it to cable and satellite distributors as an on-demand show, but traditional TV is more and more dead every day.

  • QOTD: Its as old as time the popularity come s in and then the fame and good fortune then before you know it Gary will be doing a sydicated show and become a LURKER OWNER!!!!! haha well I for one hope not..DON’T FORGET THE LITTLE PEOPLE WHEN YOU BECOME A MONSTER WINE GUY!!

    PSS::::MOTT LINK IT UP…..

    QOTDâ?¦ My wife and I love “The Thunder Show” and have begun spreading the word. The average reception tells me that your popularity will continue to grow by leaps and bounds in ’08! If you continue as a price-point leader on the web, your internet sales continue growing, maybe even surge ahead making you VERY RICH. That’s a concern! Please don’t retire… there’s no one else out there with your talent to reach out us (on our level). The wine world needs you. It’s not completely “changed” yet! If and when you find yourself finiacially set for life… try free shipping to Texas, or buy Chase Manhattan!?

    Happy Holidays and keep up the good work, Buddy.

    Oh, I would love to try that El Nido Clio sometime … that would be a bit of a splurge for me. I *like* ott fruit bombs.
    QOTD: Well, I think GV deserves his own TV show on Food Network in 2008. Something like “Gary’s Wine World” where he would devote each show to educating the public about a type or varietal or chateaus or producer. There would be a tasting part where Gary tastes representative wines, and a tour of the area/winery. At the end would be a celebrity wine-enthusiast guest like Maynard Keenan that GV would interview. No one will be forced to eat dirt :o).
    Or… I’d be happy if GV kept on doing what he’s been doing on WLTV, yeah! He’s completely entertaining! I like the educational aspect just as much as the tastings/ratings.

    I predict Gary goes on the road for more episodes, visiting winemakers, and an occasional consumer.
    Kind of like Ricky and Lucy going to San Fran, or the Brady Bunch going to Hawaii.

    QOTD: My advice for 08′ Keep doing what you’re doing. With the vayniac cab, the show, and the family, I’m sure you’ll have enough to do. I think you should focus on wine and not the celeb factor. Start mixin and making the JUICE! With your growing name, people will want it on there bottles.

    I’m anxious to try the Mahi.

    QOTD: Gary will continue to follow his star. He will retire the catchword “radool”. A show will be taped from a box at a Jets game. As always, free shipping if they win.
