Gary, you've made a terrible mistake. On episode 392, you opened a bottle of Achaval Finca Mirador. Now, episode 393, it's Finca Altamira!!!! Wasn't it suposed to be the same bottle??? Poor Gary….Also, you have already tasted Mirador at episode 43, when you had Santiago as a guest!!!!!!!!!!

    You know how the cubs didn’t let that guy into Wrigley with his billy goat and they haven’t won a world series in the 100 years since? This is the exact same thing that will happen to the Jets if you stop the show. It will be known as the Vaynercurse. Kellen Clemens suffers a career ending injury in preseason, Vinny Testaverde comes out of retirement to lead every other team in the NFL to a superbowl title, the government will mandate all wines cost 16 bones, and the Jets never have another winning season. So you see, the show must go on…

    Gary- Don’t go!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES, I want WLTV to stay!!!!!!!!!! 🙁

    How does Gary affect a winemaker’s or vineyard’s reputation any more than Parker or WS? Seriously. Why can Parker and WS get a free pass for rating wines and recommending them and Gary not?

    I hope this isnt the reason, I really hope it isnt.

    All I know is that I was promised great things in 2008 from WLTV, I never thought that meant that it would end before the 1st month was over.

    However, should it end, its been a great ride and please dont take the site down because I, for one, would like to watch and reference previous episodes.

    I’ve got more to comment, but I’ll watch this episode first!!

    This can’t be happening. What can we do? How about getting over 1000 posts without a give away? Would that prove that the show is cherished by all?

    How about what I suggested yesterday, do a once a week show. The loyal fans are not going anywhere?.

    How about the simply fact that “They” will like that you’ve stopped changing the wine world. You don’t want to let that happen do you?

    I think the big question is: “Save it from what?” You love doing the show too much, there is no way you would leave your loyal fan base.

    How about if we pooled together and bought the Jets for you? Or maybe we can start small: we can buy the Vikings or something (only $782 mil.).

    Well the bottom line here is this.
    WLTV=GaryV. WLTV – GaryV = pointless.
    So who can save WLTV ? Well that boils down to ‘What does GaryV require to continue to create episodes’. What can virtual friends do to make Gary want to continue ? Gary does seem to like numbers, ‘if I get 1000 comments, then…’, ‘only 7 more to go’, ‘only 370 more days to the next Superbowl…’ So we can produce site traffic, but what else ? If Gary is done, then that is it. Whinging is futile.

  • Gary,
    Don’t try and act like you’ve rated all the wines out there. I can go to any wine store within 20 miles with a list of the wines in “gary’s scores” and not find ONE.

    A long time lurker, I rise from the murky darkness to make an observation. Has anyone recalled that a few episodes ago, Gary had a box on the tasting table that housed none other than an Apple TV unit? A device that allows you to view video files from your computer on a television? WLTV, on your actual TV??? Sounds like a format transition, folks!

    Gary,

    The Jets can make a comeback . . . AND SO CAN YOU!!!!! I have looked forward to the Vayniac March 29 event. It wouldn’t be the same without the Thunder Show getting us psyched. Cut back a little if 5 days a week is too vexing. Have some guest hosts to share the burden (Mott! Link some up.) But . . .THE SHOW MUST GO ON!!!!!

    Vayner nation unite! We can save the show! GV ends every show emphatically pronouncing that we are responsible for changing the wine world, only with a little bit of him. While I would be devistated if he discontinues WLTV, we will survive. WE need to show him that we can step up. How is the question. Clearly GV has a very full plate so would more sub/guest hosting be necessary?

    GARY PLEASE DONT LEAVE!!!!
    I am a “lurker” but I have only been watching the show for about 2 months…
    In that time I have become a total ADDICT!!!!

    If you stop making the show now I will cry my eyes out!
    I fell in love with wine about a year ago and have been looking for someone just like you to inspire me and guide me and appeal to my wine needs.

    So, I am begging you from the bottom of my heart, dont leave…
    You are so appreciated and loved and admired.

    If you do leave, I say Thank you for all the great episodes. I guess I will have to settle for the back issues on the website.

    Love you Gary! You are my Boy!

    P.S. Can you still order wrist bands? I cant seem to get one added to my cart on the website. If you cant order them, can you send me one?

    1. He is changing the name
    2. He is moving to TV
    3. He is moving into a new studio
    4. Mott is leaving
    5. He has a really bad sense of humor

    Vote which one you think it is.

    We could buy him the dolphins. Only $4.

  • CaliforniaWino

    I agree with what others have said:

    1) Cut back to, say, 3 episodes a week
    and/or
    2) Have more guests or subs
    and/or
    3) Ask viewers to submit THEIR episodes. That could be a lot of fun!

    Whatever it takes, just don’t let it end like this!

    Hey GV,

    You have looked tired in recent weeks – but, man, I’ve still followed you each day. I was really a wine virgin when I started tasting several months ago. Even though you’re not the end all, your advice guided me to try, try, try new things.

    You have had great energy this week and it’s radool to see how that’s translated into some amazing eps. I have a feeling the show is going to morph into something bigger and greater. It’s in your blood, GV…

    Ultimately my answer to the qotd: Only you can save it, GV – only you.

    Gary,

    I know you will not end the show because Mott would be crushed. You and Mott are like Johnny Carson and Ed Mcmahon. Viva Las Vaynernation

  • If you leave.. I will probably slit my wrists. You make my day Gary! I will save WLTV by LOVING IT!
