    Gary,

    Hi Gary,

    Thanks for the education. How about helping me with this one: There are so many Italian wines with Sangiovese as the main grape. Yet some are so sharp and clean and acidic with light cherries, but others are medium bodied with lots of layers and dark cherries. I am confused. So how about a show on Sangiovese?

  • SGoodwin

    Gary,

    Congrats on 2 years. You’ve been a major inspiration to me and my palate! TWO MORE YEARS!!

    Happy anniversary-birthday WLTV! Congrats on starting your third orbit and thanks for bringing us with you!

    SOTD: Thanks from the bottom of our hearts to Gary, Mott, and the whole crew at WL (including Darth Vaynerchuk- the chalkboard antics make up for his previous ‘transgression’).

  • Achilles Mike

    Wow two years! I can’t believe its been that long. You brought the thunder to us all and it has changed the way I enjoy wine. Thanks Gary!

    What a great show, I have told at least 15 people about it in the past week. The local napoleonic pizza place is almost getting tired of me sitting at the bar telling everyone there about WLTV!

    I LIKE EM UP ON THE iPHONE PODCASTS!

    Fabulous show GV! BTW, I was thinking just last week that we have NOT seen Darth Vayner in a looooong time; maybe since he popped out from behind the couch on a Friday way back when. Good to see him back in the saddle! Keep the thunder coming!

  • Rob Csenar

    Congratulations on 2 years! I look forward to many more.

    My wife and I started a “Wine Club” several months ago (way before I discovered WLTV). We get together with 3-4 other couples about every 6 weeks. It is so much fun and slowly but surely we are all learning about the nuances of wine. I think it’s a great idea to set aside specific times to get together and taste. I hope more and more people do it.

    Statement: Summer of 1995. My wife and I go to San Fran for the first time. I’ve had maybe 5 glasses of wine in my whole life up to that point (I was 29 at the time). We spent one day in Sonoma Valley and I instantly became “Mr. Wine”. We bought 4 cases of wine that day and I’ve never looked back. Wine really does hit a nerve with certain people that cannot be explained. I love it.

    Thanks for spreading that love in a way very few can.

    Peace Out,

    Rob

  • Wished I had started following you from the beginning-first heard of your show and saw you in SF for Wine 2.0- don’t remember how long ago- but didn’t even know what a blog was…………..
    Glad to hear the good news on the Alvarino- was in Portugal this last year-wish we had more of their wines here! In the week I was there, I didn’t have a single bad wine. Sorry to hear about the SA Sauv Blanc- they seem to be hit or miss and then not consistant from year to year.
    Keep up the good work!
