Nice way to give back to all the Vayniacs Gary. Looks like there will be more this year after that huge show. Can’t wait to see what ’08 has in store, and Happy New Year!

G-Man,

Continued success for ’08 ….

I came across WLTV just a couple of months ago when surfing the net on wines from Argentina. Was intelligent enough to punch up the G man, and the show has now become a part of our daily lives. Thanks to Gary, I now actually take the time to smell the wine, and, (in my mind), look for flavors. Unthinkable. We now decant. We find ourselves saying things like “it’s a little young”, “nice mid-palate”, or “great finish”. Really silly things, which somehow now seem to make sense.
I am looking forward to buying the Kabinett Riesling when the stores open tomorrow. (Thanks for the tip G.)
And thanks for the opportunity to be a part of your ever-expanding TV family.

what year is it? thanks, gary. im still looking for a styrofaom mailer for that burgundy. this year was ausome and there will be manymore to come. bring it on and i know yer just joking about the link it up mott tshirt. ya better be…. another great year in o-ate and 365 more wines to drink,i better get started right now.

Gary,
I just started watching your show this year and I look forward to watching it in the coming years. Great job!! However I have to admit that I almost did not become a Vayniac because I thought your show was a little abrasive. Now I’m learning to embrace the Thunder Show and catch every radool episode.
In the coming episodes I would like to see more educational type shows, i.e. which vintages to hold vs drink, cork vs screw tops and how to equate what I taste in a wine to a food or object.

Happy New Year!!!

keep em coming, gary……

I now wished that I had sent a pic or two in to be immortalized on the thunder show. Thanks for another wonderful year. I am going to expand my palate in French wines for 2008. I was concentrating more on California, Oregon, and Washington last year. Again, thanks for all your insight.

Thank you for the constant entertaining and wine development I go through each day!!

Happy New Year everyone!
QOTD – You’re doing a GREAT JOB Gary. Keep it up.

Started watching WLTV a few months ago, and since then I’ve gone from keeping 2-3 wines around to more than filling my little 12-bottle cooler, mostly with wines I had never tried – exploring the palate! I also now own a decanter, and I’m totally building one of those wine rooms as soon as I buy a home. Great show, Gary. Happy new year.

Perhaps throw some more east coast Viticulture and Oenology in the mix.
Love what your doing for the wine world.
Keep on keeping on.

Happy new year. What a great year it has been. I always look forward to the show. There is no question that I have expanded my horizon on different varietals and will continue to do so.

Mott and Gary- Thanks for all of the fabulous eps in 2007!! Happy New Year to everyone!!!!! 🙂

Happy New Year all!

Mott & Gary- My year end statement: WOW! This year has been fabulous!! Please keep up all of the creative, great eps!!! I have been a Vayniac since April 2006. So far it has been a SUPER ride!!!! 🙂

Mott & Gary- Albarino characteristics?????? Sign me up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂

My Year-end statement: GaryV, you’ve taught me quite a bit about how to enjoy and explore the wine in my glass. While I like it when you step away a bit (for interviews, going out on the town, etc), I hope you still keep the foundations of swirling, sniffy-sniffing, tasting, and spitting. 🙂 Thanks for making me brave enough to make it past the nose of a pinotage — I actually really love these wines now.

And. . . I really, really, really, really want a Link it Up, Mott! t-shirt.

Mott – Did you do this fabulous montage??? WOW!!! Great job!!!! We now have MANY Vayniacs!!!!!
Great Stuff!!!!!!!!! 🙂

Happy, healthy, prosperous and peaceful New Year to Gary, Mott, and the Vayner Nation. Great montage! However, is it just me or were there a lot of dogs, and did they look a lot better than us middle age Vayniacs? Hmmm, maybe I should just speak for myself.

oops, forgot the QOTD. Let’s see, somewhere around May the net police at work blocked all wine-related sites (at least all sites with “wine” in the url) so it’s been more difficult for me to stay active in the WLTV community. So my resolution is to find a way to comment on the episodes and forums.

Great year Gary! Thanks for the huge amount of wine info, and for a very entertaining show all year. I admire the fact that you have not lost an ounce of energy or enthusiasm for us Vanyacs or the show. (Except maybe when you were sick, acceptable I guess).

Have a great New Year Gary!!

Another great show! I look forward to this new year with WLTV !!!!

Happy New Year GV & Mott

QOTD: Keep up the good work & the awesome shows. The field trips you guys took was a radool change of pace. Please come back to Chicago for another Vayniac Party. It was one of my highlights for â??07.

Thanks for a great year!!!
QOTD- just what do what you do!!!!
