    What kind of cake was that? More food pairings GV…

    !000 comments or no show today? What is that about? Are you going to read all of them? We are watching, but we don’t always have something to say, and that’s OK. Stop focusing on the numbers. It’s great that your followers are growing, and they will keep growing as long as you keep the focus on the wines, not how many Facebook “friends” you have.
    Happy Anniversary!

  • GV: Happy THUNDER Birthday, Baby! Super Psyched. I am one of thousands who hopes for 2 more years ( at least) and yet another ‘lurker’ that has been converted to the wine besotted.
    Salud!

    Awesome show. The show gets me excited about trying new things and expanding my palate. It gets me thinking not just about wine as a beverage, but about how awesome it is that this one little fruit can sit around in a barrel and do so many different, amazing things. Very cool.

    sad sad sad.. its the morning after and the comments still haven’t even broken 400. I don’t know GV, I wonder if your call to action will be heard.

    Couple tings.. congrats on the 2 year anni. Its a loong time coming, but well deserved. Also, I CAN’T believe you’re gonna go to Tampa! Man, I really didn’t think you would actually do it in ’08 (remember I predicted that it _wouldn’t_ happen back in December). Third, we want more details about the March WL events. Was talking to Ian this past weekend and HE doesn’t even know what’s going on.. I hope its good! 😉 Main reason I ask is because it looks like us locals will be hosting an event to welcome all the out of towners as well. I hope it doesn’t turn into a competition.

    That’s it for now, Keep it up GV!!

    Happy Anniversary Gary! I just wanted to say that although I have just recently become a fan of the show, it has become something I look forward to each day. Your view on not only wine, but of the world, family etc… is truly inspiring. No matter when you decide to stop doing the show, I am very grateful for it and appreciate all your hard work. You are absolutely right….we are stupidly lucky and life is great.

    wow Gary, two years! That’s awesome! congrats!

    SOTD: Two and a half years ago I was a college senior who had only tried two (jug) wines in her life and HATED them. Then, I took the wonderful Wines of the World class offered at RIT, and by the end of the course I was HOOKED. Wine was my new hobby, new passion, new pleasure. Then, a year ago I discovered WLTV and was totally inspired and pushed into wine nerdville. Now I’m a total wine geek and can’t get enough of learning about wine and winemaking. My next goal is to save up enough money to start making my own wine. My friend Jim has been doing it and I totally want to get into it myself.

  • Hey GV! Congrats on the 2nd Birthday of your awesome show. You rock hardcore. I’m saying this more because you helped me get into the world of wine and showing me that it’s not all snobbery. It’s about enjoying your wine and having fun! Thank you from a Panamanian dude.

    Happy Anniversary, When I first found this vlog…I said â??this is interesting, but how long will it lastâ? man I donâ??t think anyone had an idea of really how big this would become. Dude, look at all the great Pub. You were on Conan, are you kidding me! Besides all the other appearances and articles and so on, you captured what is right now and nailed it. Bringing the thunder to a generation, well younger than me, which is incredible. I wish I had a Wine coach in my 20â??s. Anyway, I know you cover many generations for the sound of most of your faithfulâ?¦I seem to squeak into the cult and yes, I am a proud Vayniac since Episode 56 (the Mondavi Jr. Ep). And have been hooked. Anywho, I havenâ??t been able to tune in for a while, life on lifeâ??s terms. But have been â??Lurkingâ? whenever I can. GV, I wish you much more success, one day weâ??ll meet have a drink, one day! So, I leave you with a Cheers, Ã? la votre, Zum Wohl, L’chaim, Salute, Kampai, Na zdravje, and Mazel tov!

    Thanks for 2 years! I can’t tell how much I’ve learned from you in that time. I went from a complete newb to a solid rookie. Maybe I can wear #11 so I can be a future All-Star :).

    I know its a lot of hard work on your part, but I know a a lot of us truely appreciate it.

  • Absolutely amazing. 2 years of WLTV and it’s still going incredibly strongly. To celebrate the 2 year anniversary, I am actually going to come up to Wine Library. Hell, I’m only 80 min away, so I can’t believe I haven’t been there yet!

    Nice work for 2 years GV. It is funny to go back now and watch the early shows to see the progression of the show and your on-screen persona from reserved schoolboy to wine drinking pro-wrestler. Keep up the good work.

    Dammit, Gary, quit trying to separate me from my money! Maybe you could just review crappy wines for a while, huh? Congrats on 2 years! This has become a daily fix for me.

    GV, happy 2-Anni!!! Keep it going…watching WLTV is what makes my day go. I’m literally reading about wine in the morning, watching your show, checking the classifieds and you make it special GV!!

    Thank you for doing it every day (well almost every day). Btw, it’s almost time to do a 2004 Barbaresco show. 😉
