did you facebook today?

toooooooo tired for creative thunder tonight … sorry.

Do you mean kielbasa for #3?

Blind Priorat!!!!!!! Sounds awesome. Too late to start watching. I’ll be back tomorrow! Can’t wait.

QOTD: I guess it’s fine, I haven’t really paid much attention to your hair, so didn’t notice any difference. It must be because I’m paying attention to content instead – important stuff like pig farts and all! 😀

GV,
You expressed a possiblity of ending WLTV. I can certainly understand why that would be the case with your busy life and a baby on the way. IMHO you should take a break when the baby arrives because you, your family, and the baby will deserve it. However, as a fan, I would love for you to continue WLTV. Even if it is just one show a week or shorter shows, we love the content and appreciate your hustle. That said, you do as you must and the real Vayniacs will understand. If not, they miss the whole point and are unappreciative of your FREE content.

I call this comment…Thunder Road.

After hearing that email from the guy complaining you are sucking us in and selling books I know that A: He has never wrote a book, or B: He has never read one….. because if he thinks you are making money on selling books he must be from Kansas…. I mean really….when you are doing $50,000.000.00 a year in sales….hello!!!…..the profits from that book is like being on welfare. There is no money in books.

Then to even bother putting you down for giving him the knowledge…FREE…that you have put out there for so long….or even if he is just entertained by watching this show….FREE…. then he should just not watch, say he’s sorry and go away. He’s probably been watching to long anyway.

As for me…..I’ll be here watching and loving every show because I can appreciate what you are doing. Who films all over the world for free?? I mean if and when you do make enough to go to the moon…..I’m sure you’ll be doing a show from there…..FREE….and me being sucked in will be right here watching.

Thanks for all you do Gary….and being a self proclaimed SUCKER….I must thank you for what you provide here every day. It’s knowledge, entertaining, and just good clean fun. You bring laughter and joy to many people and you should not apologize for it. He doesn’t have to watch the show….nor does he need to complain about it.

Me….I would ban that guy from even being able to watch any more shows. But that’s just how I roll. I have no patience for ignorance or jealousy. I think you answered that much better than I would have…..because I would have told that guy…..well…I’m sure you can imagine… you know me by now…. 🙂

QOTD….you mean what’s left of it right??

Gary, I have to say that I have been slacking in my loyal watching and commenting every day and have been sympathetic to K-Man’s opinion. On the other hand, this type of episode is what WLTV is all about! Fun, knowledge, a sense of your character, and good wine. While I will be sad when (and I say when) you stop doing this, I hope that we have some opportunity to watch you grow as you raise your daughter(I am holding firm on the gender) and achieve your goals. I will be there cheering you on! I believe that your hand may pull out of some the many pots that it is in now. A baby really does change everything! Wish Lizzy good mommy luck from me.

gary.

ever think about passing the baton to one of your past guests? maybe you could have tryouts for the next full time host. of course you could sit it whenever youre not busy.

just a thought.

peace!

Dig the show, dig the haircut, but don’t dig the striped shirt on video. At certain points when you moved it was playing with my eyes almost making me go into a seizure. Big ups to the big-ass glass!

Love love love the blind tastings, forever and always. My favorite episodes every time.

And just keep doing this as long as you have the passion for it. The day you dread putting out another video is the day you should walk away or pass on the baton. As long as you enjoy it though I don’t see the problem.

Selfishly i’d say STAY and keep pumping out this INCREDIBLE content for as logn as possible.
Pragmatically i’d say you obviously have to do what is right for you. The fact that you have kept this going is a MASSIVE credit to you and your dedication. So I thank you. What will be will be – if little gary junior changes things i guess i’ll have to watch all the episodes again in random order for the next 3 and a half years and pretend they are all new!

QOTD: Funny you ask that, because when winelibrary tv loaded i saw the screenshot and though ‘oh he’s had a haircut’ lol
I like it – nice and sharp.
My hair is at a similar length and has been for a while now and i’m thinking of growing it. (just a random statement for you)

Great show. LOVE the blind tastings!

Hmm… so a CAB won the Priorat tasting? I’ll stick with my Cali Cab…

QOTD: Attachment #1 buzz cut looks good on you!!!

Awesome pick up on the california cab on #1. That catch brought the thunder as the wines did.

Won’t bash the other comments or commentators (k-man). But I will say this….you bring us boatloads of FREE content. I just searched your ratings to see if you had had an opinion on 2 wines I was choosing between. (Both not rated by you, but that’s cool). I am going to go out on a limb here and say that pound for pound we get more FREE content from you than do paying customers to other sites/magazines. Dare I say, I would even consider paying for some of the wisdom you impart, but please try to keep this as is.. 🙂

Our son last year changed our life and I know it will change yours..

Very nice episode this…I like Priorat, though because of the price-point I don’t get to drink em very often… So very useful fieldwork here. Would have loved to see how a Finca Dofi would compare, or a Coma Vella (which comes in at a mere 20 euros here in the Netherlands). Alvaro Palacios is a star where I come from by the way, let’s do a horizontal l’Ermita tasting soon, and let’s invite me over!

QOTD: dude don’t get me started

I guess all good things must come to an end…sooner or later.

Gary, I always say it like I see it, sometimes that’s harsh, but understand my family here would be sad to see you stop the show, and though we know someday it will happen, we will miss you, and wish you all the best, congratulations on the baby, God willing the baby is happy and healthy and crushin’ it 😉

Keep up the good work Gary. F the haters.

KILLER episode with obviously KILLER wines. Interesting how small the Escal bottle looks compared to the others.

Don’t listen to the whispers!! What I would do if I were half as busy as you if necessary: Take one afternoon a month, tape 4-5 episodes from your office & put out one a week. Then take your flipcam wherever you are & just find one or two wines & put out a second show a week, a quick 5-10 minutes. That way everyone wins- less of a commitment for you & the Thunder Show lives.

QOTD: Funny b/c I just got my hair cut yesterday too, and I also got quite a lot taken off so it’s short as well- so I gotta give it two thumbs up.

So Gary,
Appreciated the honest comments today about you and your branding. You are trying to make money, but why would there be anything wrong with that… Ok, so this is a internet show about wines, of which you are not paid to promote any of them. I think its fine to promote yourself as much as you want. Now, about the show ending.. I really hope it doesn’t… BUT, you really should be bringing this to TV in some medium. I can see a nice late night talk show, centered around wines, but with you garnering a nice salary/paycheck for your years of branding yourself.. If all this is ending soon, I just want to say thanks for opening my eyes to the wine world.. Crush it indeed!!

Great show, love blind tastings and Priorat. Must reccommend Viñedos de Ithaca as a great producer from the area.

QOTD: Grow it out, you know Sampson got his power from his locks.

I am very anxious to try a Priorat.
QOTD: Your hair always looks the same to me. I was just packing stuff to try to get my hair to look OK in the 60% humidity of Charleston and it seemed really desirable to have less hair but it just wouldn’t look as good on me. My friend read that a true traveller puts a toothbrush as a bookmark in his book and just goes. I’ll bet you could do that.

iTunes is driving me nuts. I can’t DL my WLTV fix! I gott’s to have my GV in da-morning with my pot o-joe.
Your doing great Garry. Keep it up! Lot of luck with the new baby, I have two and I am loving each day. Your in for the time of your life.
