    Wish I could have been there! Next time you’re in town.

  • I was so excited to watch episode 500 – we’ve been really busy at AW – and I finally was able to talk everyone in to setting a few minutes aside to check out this ep. I have to admit I was disappointed.

    Do you think you could maintain your Wine Library TV personality (or avatar) with OUT being mean? I understand not liking a wine, but totally slamming someone’s life work and dream is HARSH.

    Congratulations Gary!! keep going!

    One thing – why spill the first wine? you should have let the audience taste for themselves and either agree its bad or not … trust your own pal right?

    QODD: Jets will win by a field goal.

  • Great show, congrats on producing 500 shows, that is amazing. Keep up the great work. Nice breakdown of the wines and what is worth drinking. Interesting price breakdown and how they faired. Wish I could have been at the live show. Maybe someday. Come to Dallas and I think you will find a lot of wine drinkers.

    Thanks Gary and Crushpad for such a great event. I was glad to be a part of it (save for the rude people who were talking quite loudly during the taping). To many more! Cheers.
