    Mulling over the 7 more shows comment. I guess I’ll be there for the 7th to see what happens.
    Great show, great wines, cozy atmosphere.
    QOTD: I love to be with friends. family, and cats. A good meal and some memorable wine are great extras.
    A shout out to Sailor who had a drain inserted into an abscess on his back today (altercation with Tigger) and has already removed the drain – in record time.

    7 shows? first that better be BS. You mentioned that you had a feeling of responsibility now from having so many viewers? Pressure getting to you? Just remember this quote from MLK, figured it made sense since we just had a day off for him.

    “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” – MLK

    NOW KEEP DOING THE DAMN SHOW!

  • Gary, Agree with you 100% about popping wines too soon. Even with the fact that today’s wines are far more forward and few last past a decade, most wines are very young on release. People drink them up too soon.

    Great Show!!!!

    I sure hope you are meaning 7 (really 8) more shows until the 400th show…..and 107 (really 108) more shows until your 500th show, because I am sticking around until atleast 1000 shows.

    QOTD: I love watching movies, learning about and drinking wine, and drinking tea. I also love music.

    What do I love to do? Watch WLTV!! What would I do with only seven more episodes?

    However, you are right Gary. You only live once, everyone should indulge once in a while. Makes life worth living. Good advice.

    Also, I would hope that you will keep doing the show to 400 at least. Seven more shows would only be 399!!! You would not do something like that, your competitiveness would not allow it. Just like Mr. 3000.

    Oh man . .the 7 episodes comment and the Apple TV bit make me think that the question we’re going to have to ask ourselves is . .are we willing to pay for Wine Library TV episodes?

    On the other hand you were alluding to the Apple TV thing like it was a cool thing . .which paying for episodes would not be. Guess we’ll have to wait but I’m getting this panicky vibe. Please confirm that WLTV will remain free (well, except of course it advertises your store) so I can sleep again!

  • TsTank

    WTF Gary only 7 more shows all time!!! I forgot what the QOTD was because of that bomb.

    Mott, go Giants, baby!

    Gary, when are we doing an NYC Vayniac event– long over due, my man!

    God, I’d love to try that last wine, I live for finding viscous, jammy-esque wines!

    QOTD1: Firm Bing or Rainier cherries, mmm.

    QOTD: I love to rip on you as I’m so close to doing for possibly ending WLTV on the 400th episode. I don’t want a damn iTV as a condolence gift, keep WLTV truckin’, GV!

    Great Episode, look forward to tomorrow’s show to see how the wines evolve.
    It’s true that most wine is drunk too young, but you can also age a wine too long. I’ve had allot of wines that were too old, the fruit had disappeared.
    A would rather drink a wine thats too young because you can decant it or drink it the next day. Their is no way to fix a wine that is too old.
    I don’t understand why people can’t see your kidding about the 7 more episodes.
    QOTD: WLTV, drinking good wine with good friends!

  • ceewats

    QOTD has got to be for me at least new experiences to do, to taste, to go somewhere unknown. That’s one reason I enjoy wine so much, just when i think I know what something will be like BAM!! It got me it will be completely different or something new.
    Now GV 2 things 1)North Carolina its great you should be coming down…
    2)Come on with the beanies its cold might be getting frostbite..

    nice episode and can’t wait for tomorrow. Boy am I tempted to “role” just this one time….

  • Wow…the comments so far are half denial and half animosity. If you go through with the 7 shows thing, it could be total anarchy in the wine world.

    QOTD:
    I love to sing and dance with my little girl…and anyone who knows me, knows I don’t sing and dance.

    I open the wine too early because I am afraid the it will lose all of it flavor and character if I sit on it too long.

    QOTD: Cook, entertain, taste wine, share wine and pass on what knowledge I have right now.

    7 More? 7 more until the 400th big episode!

    I love to cook a great meal, drink a good Red bottle of wine and enjoy my family and friends….plus root for my beloved Nebraska Cornhuskers……Go Big Red!

    Loved the show! Sometimes, it is nice to see your serious side and test big ass wines! I have not tried the Torbreck…but it is on my “bucket list”.

    I agree….please clarify that there will be more than 7 more shows…..
