QOTD; I miss the ritual I go thru every evening, I usually get a glass of wine & a snack, sit in front of the computer, and enjoy the show. i havent even opened a bottle of wine this week, sad!
I hope you feel better, sorry for your loss.

QOTD: The whole deal, good buddy.

Smith MBA is right, however; the show can wait while you
make time for the family.

Also, everyone’s getting that cold virus (myself included) – It’s
a tough one. Feel well.

QOTD: I miss learning about a totally new wine, which I can always count on Gary to expose me to.

Gary, best wishes for a speedy recovery. Been sick my self for a couple of weeks, I know how if feels. Get well brother.

Thanks for letting us know what’s up. Hope you feel better soon.

I miss laughing and drinking along with you on your show. I’m lucky though because I just started watching a couple of months ago, which means I’ve got lots of catching up to do. On to the archive!

Yo GV! Miss ya Bringin the Thunda!!! Sorry for your family’s loss. Hope you feel better soon. Vayniacs aren’t going any where.

Hey Gary, very sorry to hear about your loss in your family. I miss getting my wine library fix, but like others have stated, family always comes first. I can’t wait for you to come back and tape another episode. If you ever want to try some wines from good old Southern Oregon you can always send me an e-mail. I have many connections, and hopefully will have a great pinot gris from our own grapes sometime this summer.

Here’s what I miss: Wildly contagious enthusiasm for all things relating to wine.

If you had hot chicks doing the intro, I would miss that too.

Gary, take as much time off as you need to come back refreshed. I’ll be here.

I guess that MIA meant Missing in Ailments. At least you don’t have to rush off to work and can sleep in.
QOTD: I guess I’ve grown accustomed to watching you in sickness or in health. Take care and don’t rush back before you’re completely well.

I thought my computer was broken because I Kneeeew there was supposed be a new episode each day. The aggitation probably cost me 2years off my life but saved me a hundred bones or more in unordered wine. jerry the 2thdr.

QOTD: I miss the information you provide about the areas where the wine is found. Basically the education… I guess a I am a geek. I like hearing you describe the wine but I like the background on the products you pick.

Gary,
Sorry about your loss. Don’t worry about not having taped episodes while you are away on a well deserved vacation. Your wife is one heck of a woman for putting up with all the time you spend with us that you should be spending with her. She deserves the time away with you.

QOTD:”let’s give this a sniffy sniff”

QOTD: You, of course. Get well soon.

GV,
It’s obvious you are about family first. You also have a Vayniak family so know that our thoughts are with you and your first family and we support all of you through this tough time. So don’t worry about us, we have plenty of legacy episodes upon which to reminisce; we look forward to seeing you when you return.

Hope the sunshine is lifting your family’s spirits

QOTD: Hearing new wines to try! Also I miss the guaranteed laugh WLTV gives me.

Hey Gary. Family first we respect that. We can wait, wine can wait and the thunder will come back when you are ready. QOTD…..We miss having you over for dinner. Did you know that? We usually make a kickin dinner after work, throw the laptop on the table, put you on full screen and watch an episode together as we eat and down some tasty wine. Thats right just the three of us….my girlfriend, you and I. So much fun….so much conversation. But we have been catching up on old episodes while you are gone so thats good. Take care of yourself, get healthy and bring back the thunder when you are ready.

GV- Enjoy the weather, get some R&R. My parents are in Naples, FL right now! I should have my ma bring you over some chicken soup.
QOTD: I miss the exuberant intro you always give us Vayniacs.
BTW, have you tried the 2005 Chateau Brisson (Cotes de Castillon)? Unreal for a 12 dollar wine…

It’s obvious we are all missing all the aspects of the passion and commitment you bring to the show, and which also account for your absence in a compelling family need.

In a more trivial vein, I miss:
a) “sniffy sniffs”
b) PiperJS’s comments, and
c) “your antics”, as someone said earlier

OTOH, the break has given me the opportunity to dip into a small volume my wife gave me for Christmas. It’s titled “had a glass”, top 100 wines for 2008 under $20. I’ll probably be sending you a copy â?? I think you’d enjoy it and find the two authors sound like candidates for a show alongside you.

One other idea, if I may. Seemed to me the shows were beginning to stretch out ‘just a bit’, so maybe your return could augur a return to shorter eps to ease back into the routine (well, non-routine might be a better word) we all miss so very much.

Get well soon, Gary!

We just miss you and your passion!

By the way, we just tried the Coume Del Mas 2005 Schistes we bought from WL. EXCELLENT! I hope you have more!

I am going through a withdrawal. I miss Mott!

Oh ya, and you too Gary.

j/k

My sympathies to you and your family. Get better and we will see you soon.

Get well soon!
QOTD:
1) Mott Link it Up!
2) This is G A R Y V..AA..YY..NN..E.E..R.R.R..C.H.U.KK!!

QOTD: Man I just miss the show, the comments, the education, the energy. This may sound corny, but coming home, getting to hold my (almost) 5 month old daughter and watch WLTV is one my favorite parts of my day. That’s when work is over and I get to unwind. I feel like that unwinding is missing a little bit. (I still get to hold my daughter – now we just play guitar more!)

Gary – get well, and make the best of your vacation! (And then get back to work! :))
