I’ve had internet problems here lately, but I finally got to see the 500 episode tonight!! It was great!! Hate that I couldn’t make it out for it… Looks like a great time was had by all!

Sorry, Gary V. Just got a crazy feeling…

First, congratulations on #500. Sorry, but I can’t say I enjoyed it. The crude references and talk was totally unnecessary. Down to earth doesn’t have to be in the mud. Insulting is not enlightening. Trash talk is not straight talk. IMO, not the way to change the Wine World.

#499 with Jim Cramer was brilliant- informative, funny, and tons of mutual respect. How about more of that and less of the Hoke Monster?

Jets 14 – 49ers 6

Looks like the party was a hoot. Glad you made it to 500, though numbers are funny. Actually 730 seems to me to be a really big number because that is two straight years worth of episodes.

Glad I didn’t buy that Muga after all!

Wasn’t able to make it out. Looks like you guys had fun

You owned that stage Gary, but too bad the wines didn’t.

good show

Congrats on 500; I want to see you do the 5000 show.

Strong work GV, you tell that oak monster who’s boss.

QOTD: no clue, howzabout Jets: a lot, Niners: way less.

Coolest live show ever! When are you coming to Minnesota? (HINT: DON’T wait until it is 40 below zero. NOW is the time.) I have a great guest suite you can stay in with a 60″ HDTV for watching the Jets or the latest Thunder Show via Apple TV.

I only wish NJ would figure out it’s weird laws so I can start purchasing some of these great wines from you. Rather give you my business than anyone else, since you make wine so enjoyable for us.

We love you Gary! (oh, and Mott, too! sorta…)

p.s. I think I am the only official Vayniac without a wristband. boohoo

Congrats on the 500th episode. A real accomplishment and everyone involved should be proud. With that being said, I have to say I was a little disappointed in #500. I’m sure it was great to be there in person but not a great show to watch. What’s with the bleeps?!?! Also, the “guests” didn’t add much. And the wine was meh. I think the Boston episode was a better live show and episode 499 was a better overall episode. But still a HUGE fan…keep up the good work.

The jets will not score 49 points in any one game in the 2008 season. Jets 17 49ers 21.
Great Show.. love the live audience idea.

500! Woot! Congrats Gary & Mott!

The Live show was off the hook!

It was hilarious how much Gary was swearing at the crowd!

hooray 500 episodes! I think this is the loudest episode, too. Almost Samuel L. Jackson-esque.

Gary this was awesome. My favourite episode so far.
You have to do more live episodes, you bring mad thunder.

Keep strong!

Dude! You are hilarious! I busted out laughing at work after the “poop component” comment. Keep up the great reviews. BTW… We are having our second annual Wine and Cheese party next week and I will be using your copyrighted “Sniffy Sniff” phrase. Hope you don’t mind. I’ll give you props though. Congrats on 500 shows!

Great show however the crowd was obnoxiously rude! I guess those N. Californians already know everything there is to know about wine

Fun episode. SF 3 Jets 0.

Congrats on the 500th episode! You did a great job bringing the thunder to the SF buddy. I love the “Boob-Job” analogy…you crack me up.

Hey GeeVee … great episode! I finally got to catch one … been missing you for about a month now, but have NOT forgotten you. I pass your name/website/vlog on to SO MANY people that I hope this makes up for me missing a few.

Good episode today … nice doing it LIVE … looks like you had way too much fun!

Wow 500! Huge show see you Vaniacs in Mendocino County You know the place

Ooop’s Vayniac’s

Congratulations on your 500th show. We realize that it is a great deal of work but your viewers appreciate all you do. Thank you.
