  • NO BOOK for me

    Congratulations on the book. I did not buy one and wonâ??t buy one because I refuse to buy any printed material. This 2008, we must embrace new media and alternative publication methods. Youâ??re a technology driven guy. Why couldnâ??t you have published your book in PDF or audio format? Do you know how much energy and natural resources it takes to print, pack, ship, store, sell, and reship books? Why not have it in PDF and we all can read it on our computer, PDA, or PDF enabled phones. Even better yet, have it on audio format so we can â??readâ?? it at the gym, while drivingâ?¦ well you get the idea. With your clout Iâ??m sure you can get some really famous people to read the book. Personally I think President G.W. Bush would be a hoot since he has such an interesting take on the English language. But Iâ??m sure the person that would propel your book to #1 status is PARIS HILTON! After all she claims to read as much as an entire book a day. This would certainly silence her critics and put you in the history book for proving that Miss Hilton can indeed read.

    So Gary, will there ever be an audio or PDF version of your book? Or would you prefer to continue to decimate our forests and burn thousands of gallons of fuels to get the paper version to us?

    Gary- No, no, no and no. Still LOVING all of the fun in retail [wink 🙂 wink 🙂 ] and can’t get out of Charlotte for a few more weeks……………But I still have a way to get there as soon as I change jobs. No, I won’t have to walk. It involves some jet engines and a good tailwind……………and hopefully not too much turbulence. Would LOVE to come to the book signing and the party and to Bounce and would love to see you LIVE with Conan but…………….have to earn a living. CONGRATULATIONS on being on Conan again and on the book signing!! WISH I COULD be there……………… 🙁 Will get to NJ to see you soon………………………….. 🙂

    Nice episode! I had almost forgotten this region, thanks for reminding me. I have enjoyed many of these in the dim remote past.
    QOTD: Besides letting me give you french pronunciation lessons ;), what you can do for me is to keep exposing new wine regions. Syrah rocks!!

    Have more cheese on the show!!! Like the Polder Gold 1yr Old Goat Cheese you sell at wine library. I was at winelibrary yesterday and tried all the cheese samples you had there but I fell in love with the Polder it was awesome any cheese needs to try it. Paired with a nice buttery white wine it would be heaven.

  • Good show, though I’m not a fan of Syrah.
    QOTD: Keep the great shows coming.

  • You’re awesome GV! After you tasted that last wine, I felt like I was at a Baptist Revival Meeting or something. “Speak it Brother!” Cause this is as close as I get to organized religion! Can’t wait to watch you on Conan again…unfortunately I won’t be near NYC- wish I could be there for the party and signing. I still say you should go to Colbert! 🙂

    QOTD1: Yes, I actually just had a Quincy. It was great! It had a gorgeous nose.
    QOTD2: Dude, WLTV decided my career path! Thank *you*! Although it would be cool to see an Eastern European/Central Asia wine show (Bulgaria, Georgia, Moldova, etc). I’d love to see if they brought the Thunder!

  • What can WineLibrary do for me?

    Hey Gary, I’m 22 years old, and I’m pretty new to wine. I’m very interested and excited about wine, but I want to know more. I’ve been watching WineLibraryTV for a few weeks now and I love it. I watched all of the shows on the side for people who are new to wine, but honestly, I’m still a bit lost. I’d like a primer on all things wine. Now, I know that wine info is a little bit assumed here, but I think it would be awesome if you did a Wine 101 type show. A show that I could make anyone who was new to wine watch and they would have enough knowledge to get started without wasting their money buying crap. Explain everything from which glasses I might need, to what to expect from certain types of wine. What are tannins? What do you mean when you say big wine? Which wines should I decant? What’s the right temp for different wines? How should I store them? If I were to go to the store today, is there a relatively short list of wines that I could buy for a reasonable amount of money (I know this is hard, but I’m a college student), that would introduce me to the wine world, so I could have like a starting point of experience. I’m so excited about wine, but I go to the store and I just get overwhelmed. It seems like there is too much to know, and I can’t afford to make a whole lot of mistakes buying the wrong things just quite yet. Please Gary, help me out!

    Another interesting show…Big fan of Shiraz from Oz so I will have to try a Cornas.

    QOTD: Wine Library TV has done a lot for me already, opened up a huge wine world to explore and I’ve had a lot of fun. So it fees weird to ask for more, so I’ll ask for something huge! I would love it if you could wield your magic and stop the new IL state wine laws that are going into effect soon, banning wine shipments. Wine Library is a great store and I want to order from you freely!

  • Billyd

    Great show.
    QOTD: WLTV is a daily pleasure for me. I never know what to expect and I like that. always informative and when I purchase your recs tasty.
    Thanks for all your hard work, dedication and inspiration

    QOTD – WLTV is great – can’t think of much to improve it. My favorite aspects are the diversity of the wines you have on the show and the education that you try to give about varietals, regions, producers, etc. I like to gauge my palate against yours (and others) and using that I’m getting pretty good at selecting wines that *I* will like vs wines that critics and bloggers like. WLTV is fun to watch (I also read like 20 other blogs, though . .ha ha)

    The archive is really great, too. Good job with the tagging!
