    Gary, you have my full support to just do the video but not answer emails. We won’t think you’re getting too self-important, we know you have a life outside of the store. Just do 2-3 wines, or just do Mon Wed Fri or something like that.

    Gary, so sorry for not leaving a comment yesterday. I was just so caught up in the episode that I forgot to follow through. (Actually, I’ve been watching regularly since episode #140 and I rarely leave a comment — bad lurker — but I promise to get better). Thanks for doing #413. I let you down, but you didn’t let us down, and that means a lot!!!

    Gary, got hooked to your show three days ago when Scoble linked you up, and been watching back episodes since. You bring the thunder man, and I’ve gotta tell you, for the last few days I’ve been “Tasting” everything, the coffee I drink, coke zero (way creamier than diet coke), kielbasa and dark chocolate, and now a bottle of wine that I’ve gotten more enjoyment out of than any other bottle of wine I’ve ever tasted. And it’s because I’m paying attention, I’m playing, and I’m trusting my pal.

    My statement: Gary, you’ve made me enjoy more flavours in the last three days than I can remember in the last year. Thank you.

    Sorry Gary! I watched the show yesterday but didn’t get to leave a comment. I’ve been with you watching everyday since episode 158 (been a lurker for a while with occasional comments….)

    Anyway, don’t be down! Everyone who watches this show loves ya and all the effort you put into it (seriously, I wouldn’t knock you for only doing it once a week if that would make you life easier.) You’ve definitely changed atleast my wine world!! I can’t thank you enough for the education, fun and community that you’ve have provided. Happy 2nd Anniversary!!

  • Man, so I sit down w/ a glass of my buddies ’05 Roussanne (White Heron, WA) and settle into episode 413, only to be let down by a lack of enthusiasm. Where is Gvay’s FIRE?! And then, something about not hitting 1000 comments? C’mon, man. Even though us lurkers don’t comment does not mean we don’t love you and what you do. Your show, THE FIRE, the THUNDER, has literally propelled myself and a couple buddies into what wine is and CAN BE (more importantly). I’ve never written Seinfeld a comment or email or written him a letter but this does not mean that he’s not my favorite face on the ole tele. NO! On the contrary, he still sets the bar. As with you, Gvay, you’ve set the bar for us.

    So, here I am, self proclaimed lurker, COMMENTING, which I do not do, you know, because I’m a LURKER (and a comma whore), because YOU with a little bit of ME, we are changing the wine world… man, you don’t even know how much.

    Chin up, lil camper.

  • Congratulations on the 2nd birthday! … and to the winners, although we are all winners when getting creative spreading the thunder. I come from and currently live in Gothenburg, the most passionate wine city in Sweden (in my dreams).

    Thanks for keeping this hard work up, you inspire me to try and help changing the wine world.

    Qotd Statement – Your palate and philosophy, our passion for wine. If you had no talent for exploring the wine tasting experience, we would have drifted off, but every day you deliver. I don’t want to miss an episode. However, you are going to burn out so you need to change. Just realize that this thing you started will be difficult to just stop.

    By the way as you know a corked wine is so from a bacteria called TCA and that is not from corks necessarily. It can happen from other sources and a screw cap bottle is not immune from TCA that lives in a dirty barrel, filling equipment etc. That said, I am totally comfortable that you know the difference between a corked wine and other flaws.

    SOTD: WLTV is THE reason that I have continued to explore wine, has given me the opportunity to have a hand in actually making wine (Vayniac Cab), meet fellow Vayniacs from all over the country, and actually meet the Big G. himself… twice. Once was planned and took 12 hours of driving in one day to make it happen and the second occasion just took me going into work as usual on a random Tuesday night in LA. Ridiculous. WLTV has given me the opportunity to learn about wine and meet so many people, and has given me the privilege to call Mr. V. a personal friend. Thanks again, Gary, and thank you to EVERYONE (even lurkers who chose foolishly not to comment on this episode) who has been a part of this community.

    HAPPY 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY, my good man!
