    QOTD: If I don’t buy the book it will probably end up as a stocking stuffer next Xmas. I don’t know how you can bottle that WLTV energy into a book form. Turn off the spell checker and ramble on? Anyway congratulations!

    Great episode– you need to do more Prosecco and Champ eps!

    I’m in for two books! 🙂

  • rmgroves

    Outstanding news. Count me in for several copies. Don’t forget about Denver/Boulder on your book signing tour. Congrats to the new Hemingway (or would that be closer to Salinger? or perhaps Kerouac?)

  • Kristen

    Wooo CKCs! Go Badgers!

    QOTD: Hell yeah I’ll be buying at least two- and one copy is going to go with me to France! 🙂

  • jonomck

    Dude, How could I not? Congrats!!!!

  • scottkansas

    Yes. I’m buying several for my family and friends.

  • Holy crap, you DID say Oregon right! TWICE! And you even corrected the Mottster! Sweet, I’m so proud of you. And… Awesome that you’ll be coming to Portland (bout time!). I almost made the drive to Seattle last weekend, but I’ll definitely make it when you’re in my own town. Congratulations about the book!

    QOTD: Hmm… I think I’ll buy the book. I have to have an excuse to come to the Portland signing, right? Even though you never did my damn 2005 Burgundy episode! But anyway, this is the type of book that I would usually NEVER buy… just not something I’m interested in. Well, maybe that’s not right. I’d love to hear more about the format of the book… from the cover it looks kind of goofy. But anyway, I’m sure I’ll buy it, but only cause it’s you. Otherwise…

  • QOTD: Count me in.

  • I’m a member of the CKC. I’ve also brought a few others into the Vaynernation with the taste-alongs. The best quote we’ve had so far while describing a wine: “have you ever sucked on the barrel of a gun?”
    Congrats on the book. Keep the Thunder coming!

  • KVolk

    QOTD: Gary thanks for getting my Christmas shopping done early for me….Proud moment and you are to be congradulated for this achievment.

    So are you going to form a book club now…like Oprah only better…about wine…funny….

  • So exciting to see a sparkling show…I’ve been on a big sparkling kick lately…and they all sound interesting. I’m still partial to the Argyle Blanc de Blanc for $30 (probably 24 bones at WL).

    QOTD: Yes, I will buy the book when you come up here to Bangor, Maine as part of your book tour! Absolutely!!!

  • Susan

    Gary- you made us wait over 5 minutes to find out about your book. No, I did not have ANY idea. Will pre-order at least a couple of copies in just a few minutes. 🙂

    GV,

    Just bought two as well. But where is the love? My worst enemy waits longer than you to confirm Facebook friends. If I had a worst enemy. That has Facebook.
