Line of the day – ‘I start making kangaroo references that piss off Australia.’

Always love these on location episodes although could’ve done with Mott at the beginning when the light wasn’t right, GV looked like he was in a shadow.

    I think this is worth a visit.

  • oof! I may have inadvertently, added fuel to an east-west wine civil unrest in my comment over on Jo’s turf… I may have to go back over there…apologize and call for peace.

    QOTD: OK, admittedly narcissistic, but my favorite moment of the last 5 years was episode #428. You mentioned my name at 4:07. 🙂

  • it’s supposed to snow hard up here in the morning, but here in the Vnation it seems to be raining VTechs!
    even though it bums me out that they are able to co-op a lot of VT domain out on the intertubes, that the Green Mountain State would like…I say go team, and get GV’s comments loaded before he gets back east.
    Cheers!

  • Gary,
    We are now getting to the point of begging. I mean seriously how can you say no to this:

    You need to post more often, friend…

    p.s. The USA is not really that far off from where you’re at, “geo-politically/financially”. We’re treading a mighty thin line over here, compadre…

    What? Just because one refers to a show from the ’50s or ’60s makes one “old”?
    :D!!

    For your fifth anniversary, I am finally willing to step out of the lurker closet. Thanks for everything over the last five years (although I’ve only been watching for a year or so). Glad you’re still going strong.
    QOTD: Loved a lot of the guests actually, and hard to pick one – but how can I not say the best episodes are the ones with your Dad?

  • Randall

    You are NOT Wilfred Wong… just a fan of BevMo…

  • Gary! See how much we love your show! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9axVgDLbROE

  • JRobRRV

    My favorite would be the episode when you had the various foods and drinks representing tastes and scents in wine. Keep it up Gary, we’re changing the wine world!!

    Congratulations on 5 years!!! Haven’t seen near all the episodes yet as I came late to this party, but I’ve watched around 300. Keep up the great work!

    QOTD: Favorite episode had to be the training your palate episode (#148). Favorite moment of that episode is when you realize your tongue is numb after munching on cloves.

    Dude, (yeah, you dont know me but I see you all the time and so consider you my dude friend) Congrats on the 5yr. I’m addicted to your show and thank you for expanding my world of wine… and breaking down some of the snobbish barriers. For the future, I will take what you can give, but thanks for what you’ve already done.

    QOTD: Have only seen several hundred shows, but the training your palatte was very funny – the queazy looks on your face made me laugh. And remember that gal who spelled your name wrong ….and then defused it with questioning your height. She was pretty lame (your name only scrolls across the screen EVERY time) but that was a good one.

    For the future, I’ll take what you can give, but thks for the nearly 1000 shows already in the can.
    QOTD: I’ve only seen a couple hundred shows, but I have gone to see the ‘train your palette’ one and the queazy look on your face was very funny. Remember the one with the gal who spelled your name wrong, but defused it by questioning your self-professed height? She was pretty lame ( your name only scrolls across the screen Every time) but that was a memorable episode.

    Thanks man, today is General Election day here so we finally get our say. Have a great weekend.

  • I’ll actually enjoy the dude as the Plaid Avenger commenting on the world.

  • Congratulations on 5 years, Gary! Sorry you couldn’t get to 1000 episodes on the day, though. We know you’re busy.

    QOTD: Still have so many to go back and watch, but probably the cereal, licorice or candy bar pairings were my favorite so far. And I actually really like your tasting with Suckling, even though it’s not technically a WLTV show. Though the guy can be a snob, it was good to have you to balance him out.

  • Happy 5th Anniversary!

  • Congratulations with your 5th anniversary.

  • Charlotte K. Jensen

    And also very expensive for a student which I will be again at that point.

  • Randall

    Well that sucks that you probably can’t make it over here… but think of the US dollar as being in the dumps right now… 😉
    Anyway, I still hope to see all of you folks then.

  • Woohoo! Good luck! God…the classes I had there. 😛

  • Don’t know who you are but your name is fierce!!! 😀

  • Congrats Gary on 5 good years, always enjoy the content so thanks!

    Have you heard of LoveThis? I’ve just started using it to get wine recommendations and its quite useful. They are looking for wine experts, you’d obviously be great for that. Maybe worth checking them out.. lovethis.com. Keep up the great blog, how do I subscribe?

  • Hey Gary you have to check out this new intro for your show!!!

  • Favorite moment is any Sasha episode!

    Congrats on 5 years! Looking forward to many more years of fun and knowledge.

    QOTD: Hard to pick a favorite wine episode, so I’m going to say “Beer Library TV”. I thoroughly enjoyed watching you take your first baby steps towards recognizing the amazing revolution in domestic beer in the last 2 decades. The GV that is open and honest and expands his own palate, thats the GV I like.

    Congrats! It’s been a blast learning from both you and Prof. Boyer about wine in the Geography of Wine class at Virginia Tech! I, along with a few other classmates (see link below) would LOVE to have you come and speak to us. LET’s GO HOKIES!!!

    Gary, DON’T even think about stopping the show!! You may stop when you retire 40 years from now. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom.

    Thanks for you concern. I didn’t meant to complain to you about it lol. I know texas can have issues regarding liquor and beer laws and I just wish it were different…that’s all.
