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!!!!!!!!!!

    Dude great show, but if you do do episode #400 you better do it in a corn stalk outfit that’s covered in cheese. I think you know where I’m going with that……LOL

    We could all pool together and acquire the Jets. And then only agree to give them to you if you keep doing the show.

    No way, that would be so not cool if you quit before being able to send me a shout out for my 21st birthday. I might cry, even.

    QOTD: Been spreading the thunder as best I could since I stopped lurking a few months ago, hope that’s all you need me to do to save the show.

    If this is some sort of gimmick, I’ll be steamin mad.

  • Ernest_G

    QOTD: We can save the show! Do you need a petition? Do you need money? Do you need your laundry washed?! Whatever it takes, rally the Vaniacs together and it will be done!!!!!

    Save the Thunder!

    GG, GV.

  • Rice

    QOTD: With me, and little bit of you, it can be saved. Don’t know what yer up to, if it’s rebranding, or truly hitting the road… heck last week was a good example with Joanne Colan. She wasn’t the original MC of Rocketboom, but she’s doing a dang good job picking up where Amanda Congdon left off.

    Maybe we need a new face on WLTV who can take the show to a higher off-the-hook level? (no disrespect intended) Either way… I’m sure we’re in for a great suspense. 😉

  • Barclay

    Do we need to hold a bake sale to help out WLTV?

    Dude, listen. . . . we have already decided that it wouldn’t be Christmas without Gary Vaynerchuk tasting wine in our living room. Family always sticks together!!!!

    Gary,

    You can’t leave yet… Even my GF who complains every time she hears “HELLO EVERYBODY AND WELCOME….” doesn’t want you to go. I guess I would be considered a lurker, so here I am. Out on your site telling you to keep it going. What am I going to give my mother next year if your gone and don’t have a christmas pack?

    Oh, and you can thank Kevin and Alex for the bandwidth I have been taking up. Best recommended podcast EVER! YOU got me interested in wine.

    -Brian

    QOTD: It’s just like that Simpsons episode where Homer uses his garbage can to provide chiropractic “care”.

    Are RP, ST, et al ganging up on you Gary? Are they trying to shut you down? If so, there’s not much WE can do.

    If you’re looking to get out, then just go. It’s not like we’ll be hurt or anything… Do you think we’d take that personally? (Probably so.)

  • Dave Canada

    QOTD – I could save it…..bring me on the show and I’ll show the tatoo of Canada that I have on my ass….that will bring you the advertising dollars that you need to pay Mr. Mott…..oh yeah I know that is why the show is stopping…Mott is looking for a little 6 figure 500,000 per show salary…way to stay firm Gary.

    Here’s my reason for saving the show (It’s very selfish)…

    Every night my six month old girl, Sophia, sits on my lap and we watch the Thunder Show together before she goes to bed. When your intro comes on her face absolutely lights up! She loves watching you Gary, you can’t disappoint her!

    I’ll send you an i-movie of her smiling at you and if you can walk away from that, well….you had better have a real good reason.

    Mr. V

    You must go on.

    It is your cross to bare.

    Like my mother used to say,

    “Even Jesus drank wine”.

    Gary won’t stop podcasting. WLTV might end, the Thunder Show might end, but GV loves his fans too much and we love him too much for him to leave us altogether.

    For a guy who is detail-centric and ultra-open in terms of opinions and his general feel on life, it is a little weird to just drop “7 shows left” and not go into any more detail. Also joking about Mott losing his job and the general lightness of the whole thing makes me smell that something big is going to happen here. We are in for a big change.

    After 400 episodes I suspect there was a realization that this show was killing and changing the world just like he wanted and now it was time to pick it up a bit. For a podcast it is one of the lightest in terms of production and I think GV is going to come back at us with a new Wine show, that is totally different from the WLTV format and maybe even on normal TV that is syndicated to a podcast. His current format is approximately 22-minutes and this is perfect for a half-hour show on Food TV or something with added commercials.

    GV is smart and his ability to turn the wine library into what it is today shows that he is a smart business man too. Smart business men smell opportunity. I think WLTV is a great opportunity to take an established market, turn it on it’s head and bring it back to the people and make some serious dough… or is that grapes?

    Or I could just be full of sh**.

    Feeling a little anxious about all of this Gary. We are going to come up with some theories on your possible departure at a wine party Saturday night that was inspired by your program. We even have a collective “taste wine with Gary” segment. 🙂

    Good show Gary. I always enjoy when you recommend new, value-priced wines for me to seek out.

    QOTD: The viewers. After all it is we who make this show possible. Without us, it would just be you, drinking wine and talking with Mott.

    GP, I totally agree with you He must have something in the works.
    I also agree with you that ,if’n he does… he should podcast once in a while to stay connected to his roots. and also he may want to look over his shoulder cuz as I stated before Vaynerchuk we are ….always …watching you!

    we know what you are doing right now!

  • Juicy Jesse

    This is MRS. Juicy Jesse. Listen up, GV: You’d better have a #*&% good reason for abandoning your Vaniacs – especially your #1 fan, my husband. He isn’t too happy if he doesn’t get his daily GV fix. And if Juicy isn’t happy, MRS. Juicy isn’t happy. Get it? And what’s going to happen to our Vaniac wine, hmm?

    QOTD: Whatayaneed, homemade candy? Cookies? I’ll deliver them to you personally to keep Juicy happy. What???

  • Harley Stan

    Ok Gary, if you are calling it quits we have some loose ends to tie up
    1) Fly in guest Vayniac from Contest
    2) We get to see the pile of Thundercats you have collected, I sent one and I know I am not the only one, Ebay was screaming with familiar screen names from the forum
    3) Vayniac Cab taste along episode, It hasn’t shipped yet so it needs to be bottled in the next day and shipped express.
    4) I can’t believe you would be satisfied only batting 400
    5) I can’t believe there will be no episode highlighting the Vayniac fair coming in March.
    QOTD- see above
    P.S. I f this is really the end how about some free shipping love on everything for old times sake?

  • FT in FC

    After watching episode #58 again, I’m convinced you are going to TV. If they wanted you back in July 2006 they must be chomping at the bit to get you now. Way to go! With us and a little bit of you – and the Food Network (or is it the Travel channel?)- the wine world will change. At least we can all say we knew you back when you were a blogger.

    See you on TV.

    Gary, I’m going to guess you’re going to Revision3. Anyway, I wish you would stop teasing us and just tell us what you’re doing. Seven more shows of this are going to be a turn off, at least for me.

    QOTD: I can save WLTV, and so can every other Vayniac. All we need to do is continue to tune in, lurkers need to post comments, and most importantly not only tell a friend, but get a friend to sit down and watch with you so they can see how epic this show is. I’ve done it in the past and will continue to do it in the future. Long live WLTV.

  • Well, that was the most depressing episode ever. Darn it Gary! This better be a publicity stunt!

    QOTD: As others have said, to save it, you have to know what you need to save it from! So, what’s the deal? The show seems to have been going uphill from the beginning, and I haven’t seen any signs to the contrary. You’re really rainin’ on our parade here, GV!

  • “But not much longer..” Ummmm..GV, you realize there is no show if you aren’t doing it, right? Mott can be replaced (sorry for that Mott) but we come here for your wit and wisdom and insight. So let’s see…perhaps “the Thunder Show” is being renamed? I do admire your clever promotion, which we’ll understand very soon I’m sure. #400 is going to be heavily watched I’m sure! BTW..if you need help with PR, give me a call 😉
