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!

nice show, i like the little freebie you tossed in there for all of us that faithfully tune into the show!

Congratulations on your second anniversary. I started watching about a year ago and really look forward to it every day. Also look forward to tasting the wines in the anniversary pack (free shipping is always appreciated). Lastly, looking forward to more great shows.

Congrats Gary and Mott and all of you!

How about inviting Robert Parker or Steve Tancer or Mondavi or Michel Rolland to the show. Kick some classic wine world b*tt!

GReetz,

Menel.

Congratulations on a great 2 years. I have learned a ton from you!

Happy birthday/anniversary!

I just drank my last bottle of 97 Beaucastel thinking of you

Happy birthday! I hope you reach 1000 coments not only on this episode.

I blacked out for a minute. Was there a question?

Oh well. GV and WLTV Rules!

Don’t be sad about the 1,000 mark. I don’t get to watch the episodes until later!!!!! Every time I try to have fun, someone makes me work! Happy Birthday, I am a Thunder Show newbie and LOVE it and am spreading the word to my friends!!!!

Thanks for the 2 years of education & entertainment. Congrats !!

Couldn’t leave this yesterday, sorry!

CONGRATS GV and the whole crew at the Winelib!!!! I watch WLTV on my ipod and was chomping at the bit to get in this morning (even with this wicked weather!) and check out the goodies online!!! Now I’m glad I did. I always enjoy watching the episodes and yesterday was no exception. Will def be there 3/29…actually, even sooner – I think I’ll make a “trial run” trip so I don’t get lost on the 29th ;-0. As a new member of the Vayner Nation I can see that you truly enjoy what you do and I realize it takes a ot of effort and commitment – and yet you guys (yes, I mean MOTT too!) make it so enjoyable to learn about wine and trusting our palate.

I’m off to Winelib online…so many things to choose from!

Happy BIRTHDAYYY! Time for the … terrible twos?

And for the record, Gary, it’s lamez0r, not lamezor. 😉

Don’t despair, I predict you will crack the 1000 comment level today and then you will be happier for laid back friday

Happy Birthday and congradulations. Thanks for another “surprise pack”. Can’t wait. If it is like Thanksgiving and Christmas – a treat and adventure.

It sucks to open a wine you look to enjoy and have it suck ass. Happy Birthday/Anniversary anyway!

P.S. Mega Powers forever!

Happy B-day, WLTV & GV! Celebrated by placing my first ever WL order today. Looking forward to picking it up and seeing the store in person. Please keep the WLTV episodes coming! (at least a couple a week.) The change in the wine world you speak of may have begun, but there’s a way to go…

Oh, and T-cubed won’t work for me (have other family obligations on Thursdays), but we’re starting a once-a-month wine and food gathering with 6 or 8 friends. For March ’08: 3 wines from Oregon, and lessons on how to pronounce the state’s name.

Happy birthday, I saw this episode late. It was sad seeing your next episode. If possible, my good friend of the family has just adopted a little girl from Russia and lives 4 miles from wine library and a shout out would be awesome. The little girl’s name is Dinara and the mom is named Mary. She is 2 on June 16th. Thanks for the show I find myself waiting for it each nite. It has made me try stuff that I would never do.

Congrats big guy….many more to come…Go Dolphins & Culler wine…..

i am not sure if i left a comment the other day. maybe i was busy chasing down the link you sent out.
anyhow congrats on the # 2 gary. 400 + episodes…. not so bad. can’t wait for 500! too bad about the brunello… sad. the south a france does bring the god of thunder.

Happy B-day, WLTV!

Gary, don’t get disappointed with the lack of comments. Unfortunately we are not all as awesome as you!

Re the TTT thing you are pushing, it’s a good idea, though a little bit restrictive. You should let people do it whenever and as often as they want. I for one get together with bunch of people every Saturday so I’m covered there. But I guess it could help other people get into the routine of “brown bagging”.

Cheers!

Happy Birthday GV
