I started watching WLTV the Monday after Thanksgiving. I didn’t know much about wine, but I’ve learned alot since then. And I have not missed an episode since. Thanks Gary!

QOTD. I came in on Ep 200, March 14, 2007, and I’ve been watching ever since.

Geez, lurking for months, now two comments on one episode!
I’m gonna have to join in on the calls for a Mott, link it up! t-shirt or bumper sticker!

Gary: what are you thoughts on non-Burgundy, old world pinot (PN from Austria or German Spätburgunder/Blauburgunder? Johann Heinrich “Weisses Kreuz” Pinot Noir from the Burgenland is very nice, but made in more of a New World style. Recently had a 2001 – nice secondary notes of sandalwood and spice on it.

Can’t remember the exact episode number, but it was immediately after you were mentioned in Diggnation. I was new to podcasts and weblogs and such and I had gotten an ipod for christmas 2006, so early 2007 was learning about all the content that I had never known existed. They mentioned you and I was immediately hooked.

QOTD: bout 9 mo’s ago, was a terrible lurker back then 😉

QOTD: Found WLTV last spring when I was looking for Video Podcasts that I could watch on my AppleTV. So I rarely ever see a single MOTT-link, but I do watch the Thunder Show in glorious 55″ wide-screen format!

I think it was an episode on california zinfandels, right before your Ellen appearance. I found a wine I was looking for on Wine-Searcher.com only at Wine Library, ordered it, joined the email list, then followed the links…got hooked and have since caught up on a lot of old episodes. It has definitely helped me to be more confident about selecting wine and not worrying so much about not liking something. 🙂

QOTD Episode 6. I liked this episode a lot.

QOTD: Sept. ’07, and I caught up with the back episodes.

Cool Pinot show!

QOTD: Episode #58 Iâ??m Not Pissed Off show 7/25/06

qotd: i started watching daily around the 200th episode.

I was introduced to your show and wine library .com by my neighbor December 28, 2008 when they invited us over to their house to watch and jointly do a wine tasting with your show. They linked up your show to their new HD TV, ordered the wines you were tasting, and along with you we did the wine tasting while watching you on their T.V. I am hooked!!!! Thankyou for bringing your expertise to the masses.

QOTD- maybe 8-10 weeks ago, in the low 300’s as far as the episode goes. I already have 2 tshirts, a wrist band and have purchased 5 or 6 cases of wine since. Found out about you through CellarTracker.

Nice show.

QOTD: I started watching after seeing the article in New York Magazine which I think was last May. Haven’t missed an episode since.

Watching (and lurking) since ep. 300 or so. Now I’ve delurked. I can’t remember how I found wine library, I think I was googling a wine name. Wish Maryland would allow receiving mailed wines, it is sometimes hard to find the wines mentioned at the local store.

Breggo already sold out!
QOD- I believe I started watching the thunder show in april 2006

Why don’t you just admit the real reason you rate wines on your show. I believe you when you say you don’t believe in ratings but I don’t believe the excuse you give for why you rate wines, i.e. because of your affinity for sports. Come on now. People (your viewers) want you to rate wines on your show; and then they go out and buy them based on your ratings as well as Parkers, WS, etc… Why don’t you just admit that the real reason you rate wines is because this is what your audiance wants/expects and not doing so would cause you to lose a large percentage of your audiance. Here’s an angle you might want to try. Tell your viewers that you don’t believe in ratings however from experience you understand that most people do base their wine buying decisions (rightly or wrongly so) on the ratings provided to them by the “experts”; then tell them to trust their palates. A little honesty might be a better approach.

QOTD: started after I heard you on NPR…..had to see what it was all about, and very happy that I did

QOTD: Since the first time I saw your link on Wine Spectator, (September 2006) and loved it from the start. Have not missed an episode since, and now leave a comment every episode. Sorry for being such a lurker for such a long time, but I will continue giving back by leaving a comment after each show for you.

GV,

QOTD; I think it was EP 7 or 8. Someone at the WL turned me on to it. Looking forward to the 29th, bringing a big crew from Pa.!

Started watching in about Dec 2006.. Just on the net trying to learn about Allegrini Amarone I had drunk; and I became an instant vayniac. I even spread the Vayniac gospel to my kids and most strangers at my local wine place.

Gary…………………

Have you heard, there is scientific evidence regarding the health benefits related to drinking Pinot Noir ? It contains the very highest level of the antioxidant reservatrol! So it’s not just “Sideways” that’s turning people to Pinoot Noir.

“InVino Sanitas” In wine there is health………..

Great show!

I started watching after a friend of mine mentioned the site in March 2007. Been hooked ever since.

QOTD: Probably sometime early 07.

What’s the issue about you using sniffy-snif? I almost get the impression that someone was threatening a lawsuit because they trademarked the phrase. Use it, don’t use it, whatever works best for the show.

Hope to make the 29th gig.
