    WHAT? I just discovered you after you were on Ellen. You can’t stop after seven more shows. That would be criminal.

  • Alright quit the 7 more episodes crap. You get me to stop lurking after a year and now you’re pulling that? KNOCK IT OFF!

    Now very cool episode I’m looking forward to seeing how those wines taste tomorrow. I find a day with air is generally not a help. 5-6 hours seems peak for better wines, to me anyway.

    QOTD: Grow grapes, make wine, drink wine. (and watch wltv… IF YOU KEEP DOING IT!!)

    AHHHHHH!!!!!

    Your show is great, I learn a lot while I am watching it, and it’s really fun. I look forward to what you will bring next, every day. It would greatly sadden me if you went off the air.

    Great episode today…

    7 more shows all time?!?!? I hope you meant 7 more to episode 400… well 8 more actually… Did you make a mistake?

  • QOTD: I love to drink wine with good food, great friends, family. I love to put effort and emotion into selecting a wine that I think my peeps will love. I dig seeing the look on their face, just as the wine goes down their throat – their eyes light up lips purse slightly, ears torque back and they look at you with wonder. Like they are seeing that sunset over the Loire valley, or the sun peeking over the horizon of the niagara escarpment, the love, the energy, the earth and adoration that went into the wine. Awesome. That and makin’ whoopie.

  • Nooooo… say it ain’t so, Gary!! I get the feeling perhaps you always thought 400 would be your max… urgh. How about 500? 500 is a nice number too.
    There are so many more grapes and producers for you to talk about! Don’t let people criticizing your methods get you down. We like your methods just fine!
    If there was a QOTD, I missed it.

    QOTD;
    I grew up on a family farm/ranch. I love to cut and put up hay. The smell of the dried grass, the blue sky, watching a hawk dive after a mouse or a gopher, and late in the afternoon looking for a little shade next to a bale to have coffee with my dad while he tells a story about when he was a boy.

  • Carlitos

    QOTD. Be with people that allow me to learn about wine. Like you.

    If in fact it’s true that 400 is the end then I have to say it’s been a really nice ride! Thanks, buddy!

    I’d have to say Gary that the buttoned-up look is just not you.

    I like to watch my Badgers and Packers(sigh…)play football, plan and tend to my vegetable garden, and spend time with my husband discussing the day’s events over a glass of wine. The best things in life are simple and free.

  • Scott EJ

    GV – What gives w/the final 7 episodes? You confuse me. I coulda swore at the beginning of 08′ you were talking about how excited you were about all the great shows you had in store. Unless you’re gong to be too busy expanding WL to places like Chicago, I’ll have none of that signing off crap. Also, how am I going to know which wines to pick for the great free shipping blowouts?

    QOTD: Eat, drink, and be merry.

  • Sir Lurk-a-lot

    This show has been like the sun shining. The effort and enthusiasm are through the roof and we all love you for it. I stumbled upon WLTV a few months ago and was hooked on the first episode when my deadpan face started to crack and turn to amusement because some random video blog just made my night. Thank you for the kick start into this fun wine world. Quaffy quaff quaff. I look forward to what you’re going to bring to the table everyday. Keep keepin it real GV, really real.

    GV I am having a hard time believing you are only doing seven more shows. But if it is so, it has indeed been fun. You brought a lot of new people to the wine world.
