Nothing wrong with the article, but that headline– got to be the most depressing thing I’ve read all year. Fortunately, it’ll be over soon 🙂

  • Great episode! Congrats on your 2007 success.

    I am the guy who left the WLTV request on your Facebook asking for a Wine of the month club/WLTV tie in.

    What do you think people? Can we get Gary to start a wine of the month club where we subscribe and get two or three wines a month and then a week later, those are the wines he features on the show?

    I want to be able to play along!!

    Happy New Year to Gary and the crew at Wine Library.

    It’s been a great ride…I’ve been lurking since you’ve started. Your shows have more than educated me on quite a few different types of wines that I would have never thought to try…and you back it up with your extensive inventory at such great prices. Kudoos to all at Wine Library!

    Keep it coming Gary…looking forward to a healthy, happy and wine-a-plentiful 2008 with you, the king of Vayner Nation, and the Vayniacs!

    I discovered WLTV late in the year and regret I live in a state (PA) where I cannot purchase wine from Wine Library. Have a prosperous New Year!

    Gary, Thanks for a wonderful adventure! It has been a wine-filled 2007 and I’m so looking forward to more great wines in 2008!! Watching you has been totally addicting and I hate when I miss your show. I have learned soooo much and passed on as much as I could remember!! Looking back you can see how much the show has evolved into a wonderful informative outlet for wine lovers!
    May 2008 bring you & your family healthy and happy times. Thanks for all you and your crew do…its AWESOME!!! 🙂

    GV – Having just jumped on your bandwagon, I know that I’ve entered a new phase on enjoying and learning about wine. Thanks for everything past, present & future.

    Although, my sad azz state (IL) is one of many dropping like flies to greed and ignorance, I will not be beat. I have already strategized on how to get the wonderful offerings WL has that I cannot find here. Will it be a major pain – yes. Will it be well worth it – you bet your stocks worth of ’05 CDP it will be.

    Thanks again and here’s to a great and prosperous ’08.

    Hey Mr. V
    Happy new Year. I love your show. I have recently enjoyed you bringing your Father on. And the show recently from your house. I like a different set once in a while.. it’s refreshing. When’s your Mother coming on?

  • You’ve had a fabulous year. I think you’ve done a great job at thinking up new show themes that are more than just gratuitous novelties. I wait in awed expectation for the 2008 surprises.

    Gary, Thanks for a fascinating and entertaining exploration of wine. I’m sorry that the state-run Pennsylvania monopoly doesn’t carry the vast majority of wines you sample. Someday this foolishness WILL be abolished. Until then, I’ll keep trying with out-of-state finds and hints from you.

    Happy New Year!

    Happy New Year to Gary V, the staff at WL and everyone in the WLTV community. You know you are part of the community if you have tried to explain WLTV to friends and family, who proceed to act if you are speaking in a foreign language.
    Can’t wait for the increased food involvement in the show.
    Judging by the location photos in the montage, we think the next schwag item should be along the lines of a Gary V Roaming Gnome (without the pointed hat, maybe a Jets cap). Take it along and show us where you’ve been .

    Awesome! A fantastic year. Thanks for the pumpkin pic, but what about the wedding one? It took me about an hour to do the pumpkin, but the wedding was 10 months in the making! (and the wristband pic a major factor) Maybe if I was naked or holding a knife, a puppy or small child (really, kids with wristbands & bottles, a little creepy) That’s alright, I was a fat bride anyways.

    CCola

    P.S. The Vaynernation needs a gang sign, something to flash while showing off their wristbands–maybe a combination of the peace sign, westside & the shocker! (double check the slide show, I saw the shocker!)
