my first comment! happy holidays everyone.

something tells me the 600th commenter will be getting something special from gary. . .

I did the secret pack tasting for the first time with my wife, her parents and her brother. It was a blast. We paused the show and gave each wine a sniffy sniff before you did to see who could pick up the scents that you did. For the last wine, which rocked by the way, my mother-in-law says “rhubarb” and we are like “what in the hell is rhubarb”…and then of course, you said it smelled like rhubarb. She was so pumped about it. We enjoyed all the wines and are hooked on the secret pack. Can’t wait till the next one. Thanks!

No secret pack for me but the Puech Haut sounds like a winner!

Looks like a great pack. Congrats on 600!

Ironically this was my first wine show I saw. Congrats on the 600th. Heres to 600+ more…

first secret pack. totally awesome. how about a wristband for the holidays?

Thanks for the great presentation. I am a novice in wines, but I am getting to enjoy thanks to my wife who got me started. My curiosity to learn brought me to your show and I am glad to have landed here. Keep up the good work, Ze

i was kind of surprised on the first two ,i do agree with all what u said ,i was expecting a dryer sauv blanc and a more complex rhone ,i havent tried the bordeauxs im exited 4 the last one the big boy it i’ll suit my palates better …congrats on the 600 and merry christmas.

Congrats on #600, Gary V!!!

Looking forward to hundreds more. Maybe a taping from the Boston Wine Expo in January? See you there!

Have not broken out the secret pack yet. Hoping to do so at a family gathering next weekend.
To all, enjoy the season, the holidays and the new year.
Got my alleged Jets playoff tickets in the mail yesterday. Hopefully, they’ll amount to more than a gag gift.
One step closer to 600.

First time post. Loved the secret pack. Just doing my part to get Gary to 600.

Great show, love seeing Mott on there. We haven’t opened the secret pack yet, waiting for some family to get back from holidays…

Happy 600 Gary – Thanks for all you do!

600 Comments or Bust……
YABA DABA DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!! 🙂

600, Great Job Gary! Rock On!

Hey Gary! Merry Christmas! Here’s my question of the day…How can we change the laws so you can ship to Kentucky? Would love to be a member of the wine of the month club and/or get the secret packs. I do love your tasting thoughts…they make me more thoughtful of what I’m drinking. Hugs and kisses!

Gratz on 600 epic episodes!

The passion and the information is alway appreciated.

I did not have the opportunity to buy the secret pack.

LOL – trying to help out the GV nation with a comment to get us over 600 for the 600th episode.

I know that GV and WLTV had change the way that I do wine, I try more and go in different directions than before, so thank for the help on the way!

Happy Holidays to everyone at WLTV!

Merry Christmas Gary. TY for 600.

We’re getting close. Might get to see 601 this weekend. I wonder if he has it taped and waiting….

great episode gary. merry quanza

Gary,
I didn’t get the secret pack for a wine tasting but I did invite some friends over to watch the Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade (100th anniversary). We had a great time and I offered a wine experience by supplying 4 pinot noirs from the left coast for them to taste with the main course of pork roast. All the wines were made by Siduri and they were all 2006. I had an Oregon Willamette Valley, a Sonoma Coast, a Santa Lucia Highlands, and a Bien Nacido. They enoyed it but I don’t think they concentrated too much on the wine. They were having a pretty good convivial time and the wine came in second or third in their priorities. Most thought the Sonoma Coast was the best but at some point someone mixed up the bottles so it is not exactly statistical proof. Oh well, As long as they enjoyed the party!?! Congrats on 600 and keep them coming.

Hey Gary! great show as always. i am officially no longer a lurker – 600 is in sight. here’s to 600 more.

So, Brian Williams – you wouldn’t be a Canadian sports commentator, would you? The quality of the comment indicated you might be one and the same…

Number 522, I think. Just doing my part to try to get us to 600 before the next episode.

X-Mas was at my brother in laws. We made our own secret pack for everyone attending. Started with Casa Lapostolle, Clos Apalta (2006) not the 05, then moved into the Raymond Generations 1997 Cab Sauv and finished with Switchback Ridge 2005 Merlot (best of the bunch).
