QOTD: I’m bringing my DJ’ing skills to the table. My sister in law is getting married on T-Day, and I get to play all of the music…

It really hurts to see these great offers! Let’s change the wine-world by getting delivery to Maryland or PA! Waa! No wonder you skipped us on the Bk-tour! Waa! Happy Thanksgiving Gary and many blessings to you and all your family!

The big holiday pack tease…. Those of us in the states that you can’t ship to are just hating this. ugh.

i’ll be cooking a cornish game hen (since there’s only two of us) for the first time! very excited.

as for all these great wine offers, love them! how about some more washington wines? the more free shipping the better, and i really do feel for all of you in states with crazy laws. just went to a direct to consumer shipping “boot camp” put on by the wine institute and napa valley vinters and i cannot believe how difficult it is to get wines across state lines.

QOTD: I’ll be goin’ home to TN to my parents’ house–it’s the first time all of my immediate family will be together for thanksgiving in probably 4 or 5 years. So that’s exciting. I’m the resident dessert chef of my family, so I’ll be making something excellent and chocolatey and/or fruity. Yum. I’m also the resident wine expert of the family, but only by default–they know next to nothing, I know a little. So I’ll be doing the wine shopping as well.

Gotta love the butter bandit. He’s always welcome in my house.

QOTD: I’m bringing all of that. Waking up early to cook, eating too much, watching the game, and drinking heavily.

Tip for Moonfreeez: Make sure you cook those game hens on a raised rack so the bottoms don’t get soggy.

Nice Ep GV. I share your enthusiasm for being back in the thunderchair. It is made of win. It imbues you with special powers imo. :-p

Gary, I love Cinderella wine, and I’m super pumped for you. I hope it succeeds. Here’s the thing: I live in Alabama, where out of state shipping is not legal. This has been bugging me for a while. Like, really, really upsetting me.

My question is whether you know of any lobbying efforts to get a Congressional bill passed that opens up the lanes of wine commerce nation-wide. I ask because I want to support and be involved w. that effort.

The implication for your business is huge: Dude, your business is not reaching an ENTIRE STATE! I’d think that really burns you up. But I’ve rarely ever heard you speak about it. Well, it burns me up, because I want to support your biz, and I want those delicious wines!

I imagine there are other states with similarly archaic local laws in place. The only way to overturn them in one go (as far as I see) is to a) lobby each state legislature, or b) put some support behind a request for drafting of a bill (which would likely be sandwiched into an omnibus bill).

So if you or any of the Vayniacs that read this can point me in the direction of our nation’s Wine Lobby, I’d appreciate it.

QoTD – I’ll drive up to Nashville to spend Thanksgiving w/ Mom. I bring love and gratitude.

As a side note, I want to thank you Gary for responding to my Aussie lady friend (Rowie) via email the other day. You are now the hit of Sydney!

Cheers!

P.S. I told her you answered emails!

qotd: in Florida (outside Pensacola). I’ll be bringing zaz. zaz and moxy.

QOTD: Will be with my beloved and children and maybe will bring a Sanford b/c my beloved is all about California sunshine.

QOTD: headed to my brother-in-laws for the big day to watch the Lions upset the Pack. Bringing desert and wine to the table.

Would love to participate in the Cinderella phenomenon. . . but. . . damn Michigan shipping laws! ;(

We don’t celebrate Thanksgiving in the UK. I like the idea of the Butter Bandit. So who would win in a fight between the Butter Bandit and the Oak Monster?

No buttery oak in any of them. I really have a hard time spending $60+ for a bottle of wine. Call me cheap, but times are tough. The first one sounds interresting. I wonder how it will open up in 2-3 years.

QOTD: Having in Portland, OR w/ inlaws. I’ll be bringing the charming conversation and humorous wit.

Josh

Now this is the WLTV that I remember…just a classic episode!!

Gary, you are really killing me with all these great deals with the secret packs and the Cinderella wines…remember…I LIVE IN MA. 🙁

QOTD: not going to answer that yet because I am not sure. I am usually in charge of the wines…so I am working on that.

Great chard episode. Every once in a while you need a little oak/butter explosion.

QOTD: My fiancee and I just bought our first home together and are going to be assuming the family responsibility of Thanksgiving at our house. 20+ people in our tiny house is going to be quite a feat.

pumped for the 3-pack on cindy!

rock on GV – hope your time in CT was enjoyable!

Derek F. – you have got to bring back the good ol’ days and start bootlegging over the border! -i didn’t say that, someone took over my laptop and spoke on my behalf.

boston would be a lonely place w/ out GV’s vino. find some friends in Connecticut.

QOTD: Flying 2000+ miles to Long Island, and I’m bringing… Nothing! That’s right, the wine that I bought from CinderellaWine has already been shipped there, it’s waiting to be opened, and that’s what I’m bringing to the table.

Super bummed about your mentioning the Ridge deal on CW, that was like a dagger to the heart. Even the wife was mad that I didn’t buy on that offer. Maybe you could offer it again this week for the idiots like me who have a problem pulling the trigger on a good thing sometime.

Awesome episode, I was pleased that you were pleased with the first two wines. So we’re both pleased. 🙂

QOTD – I will be in Spain on Thanksgiving and will bring nothing to the table except assistance to my friends on how to get from Jerez to Madrid that day. Do you ship wines to Georgia (interested in the 3 pack)?

Nice show. Surprised the Ramey didn’t show up. Pinching pennies in preparation for the first week of December. Can’t wait.

The “Butter Bandit”? Never heard of him and I’ve been a viewer since the Fall of 2007. Great show.

butter bandit lol

cool name. though if you are from the UK and have a dirty mind it is kinda funny…

Gary – Great to see you last night at R.J. Julia Booksellers in Madison, CT. I had a great time. Thanks for signing all my books and my Kindle. Crush It is n the Kindle man.

QOTD – I’m bringing my love for Drunsticks to the Table. Gonna unbuckle my Autobot Belt Buckle and Sit on Down.

BTW – My 1st comment. Been watching since Episode 680 or so and always on the treadmill. Will be watching more online if I can so I can comment on the QOTD at least.

Sounds like some great deals coming up. Cant wait until the day you guys can ship to TN!! If that day doesnt come before the cindy 3 packs, I may just have to send them to my sis in NC. She is coming in for a visit around christmas.

QOTD: We will be traveling to 3 places for thanks giving. Stop 1 we are bringing a slow cooked picnic ham! It is sooooo good!! Stop 2 is a non eating stop and Stop 3 we are bringing bread.
