started back in October 07, with the Chateauneuf Du Pape episode. had seen link to the episode on the itunes for many months but some dude sitting in front of a desk with couple bottles of wine didn’t seem very appealing at the time. now i watch just about every day and catch some of the earlier episodes on varietals of my interest that I’ve never seen. spent about 500 bones within past two months in springfield, and i live in philly…..oye…i dive into new hobbies way to heavily….

QOTD: October ’06

QOTD: About a year ago. Originally commented under the name “Marc”, which has since been stolen.

Great show G. I LOVE Pinot Noir!! I started watching your show almost 6 months ago. I came to know about through a link on the “wineloverspage.com”. Cheers…

OK, OK. Now I cannot complain since you moved the date away from Easter – accept that I’ll be flying to Switzerland on business that day – Darn it!!! 🙁
Oh, well. One of these days…

QOTD: I started watching with Episode #1, but I didn’t know WLTV existed for the first couple of weeks until I stumbled upon it on the Wine Library web site. So I went back to Episode #1 and started from the beginning and quickly became addicted. And the only reason I started watching was that I had gotten e-mails from Wine Library for some time that often stated that “Gary Vaynerchuk, Director of Operations gave this wine 93 points” and I said to myself, “Who the hell is Gary Vaynerchuk and why should I care what HE thinks?” Funny. LOL

Thank you, thank you, thank you for not killing the “sniffy sniff”!!! That would have been sad indeed…

QOTD: I started watching you just before Thanksgiving 2007 when someone at my wine book club (yes, you read that correctly!) recommended your site. Now I’m hooked…you are a great way to finish my day and you always crack me up! I’m finding myself describing wines I taste in ways I never did before…not long ago I had one that screamed of Sweettarts! Seriously! I am also spreading the word to all of my friends and am showing them not only episode 125 but episode 182 (you outside in NJ sleet). Your Michigan following is growing!

By the way, any chance you might have another wine bash at WL this summer? Would love to be there 3/29 but I’ll be drinking wine in Spain! 😉

Started watching around May/June of 2007 after reading an article in a local magazine. I’ve been “happily ever after” since then.

QOTD: Can’t remember exactly, but I do have the old school wrist band to prove some “old time-e-ness”.

Thanks for correcting the “seeked out” to “sought out” – 5th grade teacher.

Interesting episode. Sounds like it’s time to try some Cali Pinots again.
QOTD: My brother saw the piece in Time and sent me the link. I’ve seen every episode since and I’m slowly working my way through through those that came before. (That’s what I do when GV’s on vacation.)

AROUND EPISODE 200 LOVE SEEING THE SNIFFY SNIFF HASEN’T DIED GREAT SHOW!!!

September or October 2006, I believe.

Right after seeing you on DiggNation!!

QOTD: Started watching in August 2007 and have been hooked ever since!

QOTD: I started watching when they first plugged the show on Diggnation. Between then and now, I’ve caught myself up on all the past episodes.

started around episode 250 and watch every day….. but I need to hear the word ridunculis… where has it gone? farmer Jim

Keep up the great work, Gary!

We’ve been watching for a couple months now. The first episode we saw was when you reviewed the Boudreaux Cellars Cabernet and said it smelled like the inside of an 11 year old boy’s snow suit.

Will & Steph

QOTD: December, 2007. I saw a link to wltv on a CellarTracker note.

slate.com article

qotd – Around Oct 07 & I can’t even remember how I found it. Although I do rember seeing Gary on the show “Uncorked”.

Two months ago…and I am an ADDICT. Thanks for the new vice Gary.
I hope that wide left prediction was in reference to the Giants losing.
How can you love cheese so much and at the same time despise the Packers?
Ha!

Even though you hate the movie for causing a Pinot uproar, I think it is like a gate way drug. People drink Pinot to be snobby then realize there is more out there

QOTD: I started watching last year.

QOTD…Sept 2007. LOVE IT!!! You guys make a difference. Don’t underestimate your impact. We all love you both. You are family!!!

Great episode, but most of the good Pinot’s are just too pricey for me these days.

QOTD: Sometime in Feb 07, I think. You’ve been great for my wine knowledge since then, but bad for my wallet.

QOTD: I think about a year and a half ago. Thanks for all the shows!

QOTD: Beer Library Episode #327

I had just watched an airing of you on Nightline (ABC). At the time, I was playing around with the idea of drinking some wine (for a change). The beer episode was great, but I started to go through the links of videos you had off to the right margin. I was fascinated and intrigued with your style. You had such a passionate and genuine way of preaching your opinions and knowledge about wine. It changed my life (honestly it did [just ask my family]).

Great show, GV.
