  • Larry

    Are you moving to the Food Network?

  • Dr. J.L. Sifuentes

    Entertaining as ever, but I’m concerned about you. Have you checked your blood pressure recently? Thanks for the ride!

  • Rich

    Dearest Gary, I am a lurker, I admit. But the thought of you not doing your show anymore is so upsetting. We are of course grateful for all of the knowledge and sheer fun of the program, but I will miss it so much. We have started wine tasting parties in our circle of friends in no small part to you and the fun we have found with wine. If you finish at 400 may the food channel hire you to continue to bring your gift to the masses πŸ™‚

  • Susan

    Gary-LOVE the setting- HATE the leaving rumor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! πŸ™

    Great show, what is with the 7 more shows? I was just making this part of my daily routine; glass of wine, watching the show. Great way to relax after a hard days work.

    QOTD —> Only seven more shows until Mott revolts and tells Gary to link it up himself. Gary, in turn, gets offended and starts throwing bobble-head dolls at Mott. The Dwight Schrute doll makes it through the ordeal unscathed, but all the Jets are lost to the injured reserve. Mott blugeons GV with a decanter and the blog fades to black (Don’t Stop Believin is playing in the background). Another Jersey epic comes to an End!!

    Once again, great show. I have the reverse problem. I buy wine, putting them in the cellar, and forget about them. qotd: joking, laughing, working hard …

  • thepiratedoc

    GV come clean with this ‘7 more shows’ stuff … don’t be such a tease! Lay it out for us – we trust you!

  • Whipple

    I would have to buy 730 bottles at one time in order to keep something in my basement for 2 years!

    QOTD: I love to learn. Always and forever. Been having some fun with “Need for Speed” on the Xbox, too.

    Gary man, why only seven more episodes? Are you not feeling the love from the Vaynernation? Is it something we did? If that is true, on behalf of the Vayniacs I appologise.

  • HuskerJamie

    QOTD: Kicking back and watching the C’s on tv with a fire going.

    Gary, I’ve got an authentic glow worm ready to ship to you if you stick around beyond 7 more shows.

    Gary, awesome episode. Thanks so much for the shout out for Michael’s birthday. You are the best.

    What’s with the 400 show limit nonsense? That is unacceptable. You must march on. The wine world need you.

  • Tom R

    What do I love to do? First, go on a long bike ride or trail-run or hike in a beautiful place, and then take a hot shower, and then open a bottle of good wine, and then play my fiddle (usually Irish & Scottish music), especially if some of my musician friends are around to play with me.

    I can’t usually make all of those things happen on the same day, but any day that includes at least two of them is bound to be a pretty good day.

    I am adopting a policy of refusing to believe your threat to give up the show.

    QOTD: I love to spend quality time with family and friends. Also, I like to read books and listen to people speak – it is amazing what people can put together only using a 26 letter alphabet.

    WTF is this seven episode thing about. If it’s true, why would you just throw that in right at the end with no further information or explination. I think those of us who’ve been watching daily for 1 1/2 years plus deserve it. I’m sure you’re extremely busy and your stock is high. I just don’t understand leaving the thing that brought you your fame. Then again, i’ve never been in that position so who am I to judge? I’m so glad you did the Run Rig because it’s something i’ve been wanting to try and now I think it can wait for awhile. As always, thanks for all you do for us.

    As always, great show. Do you realize how lucky we are to have somebody as fun as you teaching us about wine????

    QOTD I love to spend time with my family, especially if it’s at a beach.

    QOTD: I love to dream about the “MOTT LINK IT UP T-SHIRT!!!!”
    I also love to snowboard and then go back to the lodge, pop a bottle of good port with a little dried figs, beef jerky and stilton cheese. Add some great people into the mix, sprinkle with some stew and watch the magic unfold. A few knit sweaters also never hurt anyone.

    Yo, Mott, if you have powers to link it up don’t you also have powers to create a T-shirt? Damn, I really *explicative* think that T would sell like gangbusters.

  • zac weiss

    no. no. nonononono. please. puhleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase don’t let these be the last of the bunch. I can’t LIVE without GV there to get me through the week. I NEED MY WINE KNOWLEDGE. This cannot happen. THIS SHALL NOT PASS!
    Wait.
    maybe you just meant the last few before 400. please. Please God. In heaven. I’ll become nondenominationally god-fearing if this isn’t the end. You know you want it, God.
