I will participate. My blog is about cooking for one and eating alone, but actually I usually eat and watch WLTV. I don’t get a ton of traffic but a couple of hundred readers can’t hurt. Thanks for always bringing such great episodes and I LOVE falafel!!!!

Psyched for a vegetarian episode, though I would have loved to have seen one or two reds that pair well – not all reds need meat! I think you should do a fish episode next, disproving the myth that only whites can work with fish.

On a side note, I love the viogniers I’ve had, sorry that this one came off so hot. They generally have a high alcohol content, and with a white, that indeed can be playing with fire.

BTW, just cause someone is a vegetarian doesn’t mean they’re healthy. I know several vegetarians who do it for health reasons, and I’d say overall the vegetarians I know have more health problems than the omnivores I know. Our bodies need the nutrients in meat (and vegetables), and while there are ways to supplement that, most vegetarians (though they try) fail to do so properly. 😀

QOTD: I’m all about making videos, but for an AppleTV? Nah… If it was for a $10 bottle of wine I’d do it, but literally the only show I watch (TV or on the internet) is WLTV, so I would have no use for it. Hmm, though I could probably ebay it…

I’m satisfied with that show as well. Guests are fine, but sometimes we need 100% GV.

QOTD: I’m starting to spread the thunder among my friends, but I just don’t think they really get it though. However, that’s won’t stop me to keep trying!!

Gary don’t fret about pouring out all that wine. That is just how “BIG” you roll.

QOTD: I already spread the thunder show to all my wine drinkers maybe i will have to link up the beer episode for my other friends.

Great show today GV! I agree it’s good to have a little solo Vaynerchuk action from time to time.

QOTD: I’ve been word of mouthing the thunder here and there … but I do work at a coffee shop around more “palette conscious” types … maybe I’ll think of some way to spread the thunder in that arena. Although I must admit that selfishly I like that we Vayniacs are a proud few … but alas … the thunder must spread!!

QOTD: You’ll have to wait until Monday to see what I have planned, muhahahahaha – however should I lose my job – you got one for me GV?? :P.

Thanks for doing the vegetarian pairing idea — and I’m glad you found some winners!

I like dry rose wines, and they do seem to go well with almost everything, but I’ll be especially interested in trying the Alsace Gewurztraminer. One of my New Year’s resolutions is to try more wines from old world regions I’m not familiar with, and Alsace is high on the list.

QOTD: I’m going to be putting up a new website over the weekend, and I’ll link you up. A brand new site won’t have much immediate impact, but you never know how popular a new web site might get, do you?

QOTD: I will bomb our Network with a “watch WLTV” net send batch 😉

Qotd – I am not computer savvy enough to do a blog, or video “link it up to Mott”! I can’t even seem to get a facebook account. However, I will tell all the folks coming over Friday for my 53rd trip around the sun party that I owe much of my wine tasting knowledge to this guy Gary on the internet. I am going to serve some GV tested thunder boomers to my friends who come to help me celebrate.

I am a strong believer in wine showing it’s ageing potential by how long it holds together after the first glass. 6 days is an epic wine! 5 days is a 10 year wine, 3 days is a 5 year wine, 1 day is a don’t hold back pour it all now wine (and sometimes when we experiment with new cheap wines it is a pour it all…down the drain wine!

As always a super show. You guys have skills, whether they like it or not!

What? No lychees in the gewurtztraminer? Probably the only wine I can identify blind most of the time……..

I’m definitely going to try to spread the thunder. I have no idea how, but I’d really like to be able to watch and/or discuss the show with friends. I’m sure I’ll figure something out!

On a separate note, I just read a BBC news article that says that some researchers at CalTech have found that the more expensive a wine is, the more the average person will like it. The article’s here (hope it’s ok for me to post links):

Gary – I gotta take you through the shuk in Jerusalem when you come to Israel and show you how to eat falafel and hummus and tachina (not tachini!).

And what, no Yarden or Carmel Gewurztraminer? Perhaps a Tabor or Teperberg with the tachina, Pelter with the pita? Although I admit that I prefer a beer with my falafel. I can just imagine going into my local hummus joint and ordering a Chard with the hummus. I’ll probably get kicked out!

Let’s have some Mediterranean wines with the Mediterranean food!

But perhaps this will inspire me for a new blog post.

But thanks for showing us veggies some love!

I LOVE THE GIGANTO POUR! Who would drink that if you didn’t anyway?
Actually there are probably a lot of homeless dudes on the streets of Jersey that would love to finish those off for you! Maybe you should do a tasting with the vagrants?
Thanks for another great show Gary. I’m not sure how I can help promote, other than telling everyone I know about how awesome you are, but maybe I’ll think of something?

Hey GV

Thanks for the episode for us Vegetarians!!!

QOTD:
DAMN RIGHT I WILL BE PARTICIPATING!! Not sure what I will be putting on the blog yet to spread the thunder….

J DUB

QOTD: If I can get ahold of a video camera, it’ll be BIG…but until then I won’t give away any ideas here. Either way, no matter who wins, I hope that innumerable Vayniacs turn on as many peeps as possible to the Thunder Show on its big #400. Cheers.

Am not a computer guy, so I will continue to spread the word one person at a time. To demonstrate how pitiful I am, I don’t even have a HDTV. Even if I did, I wouldn’t know how to hook up the Apple TV. Another nice show Gary. We eat Vegetarian about 4 or 5 days at our house, and yeah, some of the stuff if really good.

gary can i just say, your a really great guy. thanks for making my wine so much more enjoyable 🙂

What Boy Scout troop did you belong to that roasted mushrooms around the campfire??? We always roasted marshmellows. ;-D

Did everyone catch the GI Joe Cobra Commander comment? Did you ever notice that in your average GI Joe episode, hundreds of thousands of rounds of ammunition were exchanged by the GI Joe’s and the Cobra Troops but no one ever got killed….How did that happen?

Good catch Tom L. I think Gary was a member of the Boy Scout troop that had a scout master who was at Woodstock. Would explain a lot, wouldn’t it? LOL…just kidding.

Yeah, I’ll do something, so long as it doesn’t require video equipment or other tech stuff I don’t own. A blog I got, so that’s cool.

My girl is going to love this. She’s not white wine crazy, but loves her veggie food. We’ll have to throw some Alsace into the rotation. Thanks for the recommendations!!!

I´ll do my best if it´s for the Thunder Show… and an Apple tv! WLTV and Apple products… what a beautiful marriage of 2 of my favorite things. Thanks GV.
