Thank you and your team a bucket load of great episodes during 2008…..looking forward to many more sublime viewings over 2009.

I certainly think that todays episode shows the naviety of consumers and lack of education in the market when there are so many great value plays out there. Gary V – you certainy fill this gap!

A prosperous 2009 for you and your family (and the family of WLTV).

I know I’m a little late but I was with you for #600 along with the wines. it brought our family together for something very fun. AND my mom pulled out rubarb (not a huge winer) about 3 seconds before you said it and I almost pissed my pants. keep rocking, and thanks.

HEY Gary, a belated happy new year to you, Mott and the rest of the crew there at Wine Library.

Thank you so much for your great insight, knowledge and most of all passion on everything you have done on WLTV in 08, discovering wine library tv would have to be one of best things that had happened to me in 08….THANK YOU AGAIN GARY, I look forward to more great shows in 09.

Love the 04 Petaluma Riesling – nice to see it get some props

I like that you’re breaking the extra bottle out for the New Year show! Neat wines, and telling wines! This was a perfect example of how ratings don’t matter (at least to some degree!). I’m looking forward to the blinds, the values, and the really high end wines (that I’ll never drink, but can experience through you) in 2009!

Happy New Year!

gary, i haven’t been commenting for a few days. been hanging with the fam. I’ll go back adn watch the older episodes and comment, i promise. today was really shitty for me. my purse was stolen with my license and credit cards and keys…i’m trying to distract myself but its not really working. great episode tho my man.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to Everyone…Ohhhh KJ and Catena…The peeps like them for sure. They are cocktail wines for most of the consumers. And bothh of those brands buy advertising everywhere!!! Good Show….

Hi Gary, Happy New Year! Sorry to see the Catena didn’t do it for you, it’s actually one of my favorites for 2008.

Great show, happy new year to all!

Happy New Year G ………. Great ep and keep up the good work for the Vayner- Nation.

You forgot the QOTD!!
This might be a bad omen for 2009..!
Ah no, it’ll be the best year ever I’m sure.

QOTD: ?

Well, at least it was a good show. 🙂

Great show as usual!

As the year ends and a new one commences, may all of the Vaynernation find what their heart yearns for!

Good show. Relaxed, informative.

Gary, thanks for the show on value wines. “long time listener, first time caller” etc. etc. This is the first show I’ve seen in ’09 so thought i should comment. I really like the 2005 Edmunds St John Gravel & Rocks, but do agree with you that the 2004 is a bit better.

Keep up the great show.

Oh, btw, tried a very nice Montenegran wine by Plantaze called Vranac. Saw it at a local store for about $14. Was inspired to give it a shot by your Croatian episode.

Bring back the Butter Bandit!!! You old schoolers know what I mean!!!

Love the energy GV!!! My 2009 wine resolution is to drink more old world wines, and transition from new world fruit bombs.

Cary V!!!! You rock.

I have to first apologize…. i have been a super-lurker! I have been watching since around episode 100 and can count the number of comments i have made on one hand!

It is my New Years Pledge (not resolution, resolutions are made to be broken…) to comment on every single show in 2009! Some comments might be a little late, like this one (i usually watch at work, hehe) but they will be there.

Gary,

Happy New Year, and thanks for all the great insights.

A comment and a request…

I’ve had the Catena on multiple occasions. Overall, your review of it was pretty close to my view, but I perhaps like it a shade more. It has been a reliable house chardonnay for guests less serious about wine looking for a reliable glass of chardonnay, though it rather limited.

It’s been very useful when you tell us that wine x drinks like a $$$ wine, and you then drop a few names for comparison at a quality level. Please continue to do that. It helps us compare to wines we know. Great stuff.

Have a great ’09. Wine Library TV rocks.

Gary, I forgot how much I truly enjoy watching you. My New Year’s resolution will be to watch every WLTV episode I have missed to date!

Happy Belated New Year GV and WL!

QOTD: I’m stumped 😉

I hope everyone at Wine Library, and their friends and familes had a great 2008 and hopefully so far a great 2009. Thanks for all the hard work you do. I look forward to another year of great guests, great shows, and Gary ranting about his beloved Jets. You know theyre in the cellar in 2009, bank on it! 😛

LOL @ Catena Chardonnay “You’re not supposed to go to jail low expectation mother f%%%%r! Classic
