    You forgot…whether they like it or not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    QOTD: probably not unless there are many kosher wines rated.

  • chenrys

    Congratulations! Very exciting.

    QOTD: Yes.

  • Right on! Something to give friends who freak out at the thought of “podcasts” and “streaming Flash videos.”

    Also, a certain Santa was very nice to me today. I’d like to thank him too. 🙂

    QOTD – nope

  • Little Jonny H

    Congratulations on the book GV! Yeah, I belong to the CKC’s!!! Representin’ the impoverished wine lovers of America.

    QOTD: I’m undecided on the book, GV. The small amount of information I could find on the book (from the web) makes it sound like it is designed for folks who aren’t courageous in their wine choices. I don’t see a reason to purchase it when I’m already trying to drink new things every day for under the price of $12/bottle. I do use the ratings that are out there as a rough guide, but even they are only marginally useful at low price-points. Basically, I need more info on the book (or need to see) it before I decide… I’d love to hear more in a later episode of WLTV!

    good show!

    QOTD: sorry, not buying the book. I need your energy!

    good show!

    QOTD: sorry, not buying the book. I need your energy!

  • dAve

    OK. follow up suggestion.

    QOTD: I’m not buying the book. but I would buy a DVD of your video review of wines. fyi. I need your energy.

  • Araldite

    QOTD: Yes, I’ll buy a copy. Why, because I like you and I’ll support you and the book is not outrageously expensive. Concerns: won’t be able to get any of the wines where I live because Total Wine has never had anything on your show, so why would it have anything in your book. Could buy them from you, but the book will become obsolete as the wines become unavailable everywhere as time goes by. But, I’ll buy it anyway just to see what you’ve got.

  • Brian

    San to Frizzan!!! Will be on the lookout for the book signing.

    QOTD: Whoa! I pre-ordered a copy from my local independent bookseller 7 weeks ago. I was wondering when you were going to talk about it. Very exciting news!

    Fun show. Thanks!

    Now, when is Mott going to get his T-shirt!!??!! Does he have to start throwing the corks back at you to get your attention? Do we?! 😉 (I’m really not entirely kidding…)

  • agentorange

    QOTD: Who wouldn’t buy a book from a guy who, in descibing a wine, will say: “Who doesn’t like some nuts in their mouth…?”

    Congratulations buddy. Books are cool. We’ll buy some and pimp it too.

  • Buying a couple! I hope that if you do have any special prizes/giveaways that they’re also available to non-Americans (Canada is so near you, but gets left out of so much from the ‘net)!

    The book is super-cheap, if people can skip one bottle of low-priced wine, they can afford the book.
