this would have been more believable *had* it been a thirty minute episode with a guest where they talked, as usual, about anything other than wine.

Man, that was like a gut punch but then we kissed and made up.

What will the world be like when this actually comes true? Thats a scary thought. I wonder if one of you talented artsy types could write a screen play about “The Day After WLTV”. It would be a very good thought for a horror movie.

I'm kind of busy here right now Gary.
A UFO just landed in my backyard. They're looking for someone to probe and all that good stuff, so I'm going to send them over to VaynerMedia I think.
Cheers!

I fell for it !! Super job. Ranks up there with the “Sasha Episodes”. Looking forward to more wine tastings
erikwait
Toooo predictable, I knew what you were going to say before you started… a better joke would have been to do another paper bag blind tasting, then rant and rave about how great the wine is, score it 95 points and then…. unveil that its a Charles Shaw (2 Buck Chuck) Cabrernet Sauvignon…
DCaragher
GV – Awwwwww man I read you like a book! No way would retiring from WLTV be that easy for you!!! I love you man…STAY FRESH! P.S. I am not looking forward to that day…
QOTD: Is Gary gonna email me about reviewing for CORK'D???

Gary,
You didn't have me for a second. You are way too classy to end over a 4 year legacy with a less then 2 minute goodbye. Whenever it comes and hopefully not for a while, you will end on a bang. It will be a great, guns a blazing goodbye. And when that time comes, we will understand as everything on earth is finite but will miss you. Thanks for the April Fool's joke though. You were the only one this year to attempt one on me. Take care and look forward to laid back Friday which I hope you have some serious wine and sit on the serious leather chair, it being Good Friday and all. Let us celebrate!
Blessings, Brad

Loved it…had me going for awhile. Would have been better to post a later video saying April Fools but it was good anyway. Didn't buy the water comment for a second though
Love the levity… Looking forward to a “Laid Back Friday” with the BIG ASS GLASS tomorrow…
Niklas
hahahaha. I keep this simple, just LOL. hahahah.

Has to be an April Fool's joke – actually the comment on “drinking water from now on” was the one that gave it away for me. I can see moving onto something different than the show but give up wine itself – nooo wayyyy….
winedrinker
I was wondering if you were going to try something like that….
madewithelements
I was like “Fuck!” then I realized the date and I was “Bastard!”
Gary, you *really* could have done something we would even remotely believe. 🙂 Cheers!

I'm going to score this a 67, just because the joke was in English. I give this ep a pazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz with 16 z?s apparently. Hollow, no structure, I'm pissed at this wine, errrr joke. Seriously; happy April fools GV, Vayniacs and everyone at WL headquarters (don?t think I have ever wished anyone that before).
Neil
April Fools! Been a WLTV viewer too long to get fooled by a 1:50 Min See Ya!
BethAD1017
You little rat! For about 20 seconds you had me and I was convinced I wasn't going to let this April Fool's thing get me this year! I had this look of total shock for a moment and then remembered the day and cursed your name! Thanks for the heart check man!
Phil G
I wouldn't imagine this would be the way you decided to make this type of announcement. Kind of tranparent from the beginning…
Nice Try.
WineTechie
You sounded real sincere until you said you were going to stop drinking wine. I agree with SurfCityJay. You need to do Laid Back Friday with the Big Ass Glass!

April fools
jeremy
see, it's not really funny…because about 500+ episodes ago (yeah, i've been watching for that long), you almost did retire. don't play games with our hearts, gv! i think i'm gonna go down an '86 opus one to console myself.
Just Jack
Didn't buy it at all. There is no way you would do that to us in a minute and a half video.
JayZee13
The problem with April Fools jokes is that they tend to occur on April 1st. Beware!!!
Actually, your sincerity level was really good until you said that you would ONLY be drinking water from now on. 🙂
K is for Kate
You had me going for about 30 seconds, though it didn't seem like the way you'd announce something like that. Then I remembered the date. Good one!
Brian Social
Gary, did you change WineLibrary's name to Topeka today too? 🙂
I can't believe you are going to retire after all this time and just go off with a 2 minute show to say goodbye. How dare you! Too funny! That was a good one and really had me (Andy) fooled. I can see where if people comment about April Fools at all it won't work because of 2 comments being right below the window you click on, but I had 2 comments that didn't give me any clue and it worked. Please people, don't say anything about April Fool's in your comments so the effect works. I waited to say April Fools until further in the comment where it doesn't show. One of the first episodes I saw was in the 400's when Gary said there were only 6 shows left and now we're in the 800's. Keep it going strong Gary, you really got me today!
Randall
I just like anybody named “the beer wench”!! Let’s just hope GV has someone knowledgable about beer on this hypothetical beer blog and does some shows about Belgian beers. 😛
johnfarrin
Sorry Gary, not even close 🙂
Batresq
About 5 seconds into this I said to myself this is an April Fools joke. If Gary retires it will be when he is no longer able to talk.
lizzy43
You almost had me for about 30 seconds I was really disappointed not to be able to tune in and get my dose of WLTV. Hey thanks for all the wine education over the years it has meant a heck of a lot. Keep the show going! Cheers!
