    Gary, You can’t punish the loyal Vayniacs just because some twits do not leave comments. At least do a show on facebook or something.

    Happy Birthday WLTV!!1

    Statement:

    I actually watched the episode last night, and have been at a loss for a good statement since then. I’ve been really busy lately and feeling kind of brain-fried. Probably a sign that I should take a break and drink some wine.

    Happy 2 years GV!!! Great ep, at least the last wine brought the thunder. Man, I wish the dollar was stronger!!!

    Been a great journey with you thus far, GV. From tasting varietals I probably never would have touched, bottles I would have turned away from, regions I had thought could not possibly produce great juice. You have literally changed the way I look at wine, and fortunately for me, did so at the very beginning of this life long hobby. I am only 27 now, but I know when I sipping on some of the 2005 Bordeaux i bought (thanks, in large part, to you) I will recall the Thunder show and the G-Man. Big ups – Congrats, you deserve every last bit of success.

    Cheers to another 400 episodes of the Thunder show.

    First off, congratulations on the FIRST two years of WLTV. You and Mott (and even Kastner) have done a superb job. Keep it going.

    SOTD: I guess I just want to say that I am thankful for wine because without it, I never would have “met” you, G-Man. Keep bringing the Thunder!

It’s hard to believe the internet can feel so much like family! Keep the thunder comming!

  • James H

    Congrats WLTV crew! The show is a lot of fun, and the encouragement to try new things has definitely been successful. I try wines I haven’t had before, and try to pair it with things I wouldn’t consider. Last night I was trying samosas with red wine on a whim.

    Considering I am in college and people use “Thirsty Thursdays” for going out and getting completley sauced (in fact its a college tradition to plan no Friday classes to take full advantage of Thirsty Thursdays), I am going to change it to Wine Wednesdays. It would be to hard to convince my friends to have a wine tasting on Thursdays instead of going to the bar or a wild house party. So Wine Wednesdays it is! Love the show… keep up the good work! I actually moved 8 hours away from my best friend, and we watch the show at the same time and then call and discuss afterwards. We both now have problems when drinking wine saying random WLTV quotes such as “That kicked some thunder in my mouth”… people just nod and pretend they know what we are saying.

    To Kevin Carpenter, First of all, I’m appalled at your question. Secondly, it depends on how you prepare the poo. Is it a sweet or savory dish? Do you plan on stuffing it and pan roasting? Or perhaps deep fried, or made into a type of ‘meatloaf’? Perhaps a tartar? Also, from what animal? Very serious questions. I could see, depending on the answers, wines varying from a Chinon, old Burgundy, a Chateauneuf du Pape (perfect for spiced poo sausage), to even a good Alsatian riesling. If you have a specific recipe in mind, I could narrow it down!

    SOTD: Gary is a wine beast, and we’ve all got our Pals backing us up.

    Also, I thought it was cool seeing the office workings of WL through the glass; especially the mini-shopping cart brigade of wine.

  • Mike E in Minnesota

    2 years!! I only discovered your show about one year ago, but it has really changed how I look at wine. I used to be a wine rutter (meaning stuck in a rut). I would choose from the same rotation of about 10 different wines. Mostly mass produced cabernet’s, pinot noirs and chardonnays. Now I am buying something new almost every time I go wine shopping. I may not love them all, but each one is teaching me something new about my “pal” and that is exciting.

    Keep it going.

  • Dick

    Great show, Gary…here’s to many more…I’ll drink to that(tried the cab-franc and loved it)
