line of the day – ‘did you really think I missed those eyes you made at the camera just then, I OWN this space.’

Good laid back episode, glad the guest said ‘no’ a couple of times and stuck to his guns when asked if he detected a particular flavour. Most guests cave in immediately and say yes, even though you know they haven’t tasted it. As GV says, there is no right and wrong when it comes to one’s own palate.

    QOTD: There will be a casting show on prime time television called “America’s Wine Nerd” to find a worthy successor for Gary.

    This is the second time the issue about ending has come up. I have only been watching this show for about 9 months on a regular basis but I have gone to numerous back episodes. I would miss it, there isn’t anything else quite like it. The information given on the show has help me in understanding wine and it is fun.

    QOTD: Episode 1000 I hope. It’s such a great number

    Really enjoyed TimF! I really enjoy the guests that you have on the show, and your interaction with them, GV! I wish that I could make it up to NJ to sit on that couch with you and drink some wine! Maybe one day, but keep it up!

    QOTD: THERE’S AN END????

    Thanks guys. very cool laid back Friday show.
    WOW a Napa Wine gets a great review…..nice

    QOTD:
    It will end with fond memories.
    I would like to think that G could get a replacement and keep the show going, kinda like Jay Leno did, but honestly there isn’t anyone that can do what G does.

    QOTD: Unplanned…and when you least expect it.

    Wow…what a great show. It’s been awhile since I have commented on a show. yet, this was just a great show. It’d be great to see if we can get some more old school fans on with you. The energy between the two of you was really great.

    Great episode guys. Tim, good seeing you last night man. Good times.

    Best exchange of the show:

    GV: You get radishes?

    Tim: No.

    Lol. Classic.

    Great show I’m glad everyone liked it.
    QOTD: when this show reaches tv. It won’t be officially over but to me the great intimacy with the low budget filming will be gone and the show won’t be the same

  • TimF is awesome! Fun show.

    Gary will probably throw another party at Wine Library to celebrate the end, hopefully later than sooner!

    GAry, Tim: Nice show. Great interaction between you two. But as a relative newbie, hearing the nostalgia makes me feel out of the loop.

    QOTD: Doesn’t end… Gary spends more time working from home to be with mom and child. Grandma/Granpa bring over the wines and Gary uses flip cam to film shows.

  • What a great show. Haven’t been there from the very beginning, but watching for almost two years and went back and watched darn near all of the first shows…

    BTW – Peeps need to pop in and watch some of the first shows. Cool to see Gary crank it up each week.

    “How’s it gonna end?” — what a question. Hopefully one without an answer.

    Great show with TimF! There should be more shows with long-time forum people.

    QOTD: The whole thing ends up being one of NYPete’s dreams.

    Hey GV, fun episode. It’s cool to see you kickin it with folks that have been with you from the get-go. I’ve missed a lot of episodes lately; I’m trying to get back on the horse!

    QOTD: With a really big party and you swallowing every sip! Keep it real.

  • Been watching the shows for almost 2 years, but have never commented.

    My palate started with the big fruit bombs and has definitely gone away from that, but is cycling back a bit to some more fruit (probably from drinking a ton of California in the last 6 months).
    Having said that,tried the 2005 Relentless about a month and a half ago after a 2004 Quinto do Vale Meao.

    Definitely a big wine. Was a bit too overdone for me: definitely complex and mouth-coating but felt it was like a couple uppercuts rather than a few subtle jabs, which is what I still gravitate towards.

    Highly enjoyable episode

    QOTD: Wow, there’s so many possibilities here. I’m guess it’s when Gary’s kid turns 21 and takes his first sip of wine on the Thunder Show — Gary is reduced to blubbering lunacy, completely losing the normal methods of human communication.

  • Gary: Do you get Radishes?
    Tim: No
    Straight away.
    I’ve never seen someone “no” gary like that on a sniffy sniff.
    Most people make a few umms and ahhs before saying “not really”.

    QOTD: When Gary buys the Jets. AND ONLY THEN!!

    Pretty fun episode, I actually laughed out loud at the QOTD! Also enjoyed watching Gary bust down on the WLTV fuax pas. Good stuff.

    QOTD: By necessity due to the number of hours in the day, but that will be the right time for the right reasons. But perhaps a new host could appear……
