Thanks for all the great work. From the sounds of it, Daily Grape is going to be the same ol’ WLTV we know and love only in shorter bursts. For me (someone who doesn’t have a smart phone and loves to kick back and watch WLTV episodes two or three at a time, as if it were a TV show), this is an unfortunate change. But I also know that you’re a good enough business man that you wouldn’t have made this format switch if people like me weren’t the minority.

Good luck with Daily Grape. I’ll be watching; hopefully I’ll be able to enjoy it as much as I have WLTV.

Congratulations on #1000 and all the best in your future – good luck w/DailyGrape <–wonderful idea.

Just make sure to get the Android App up ASAP…Android is BY FAR outselling the iPhone and is close if not above the iPhone is total users now, FYI.

Gary – We love you too! I’m incredibly excited about Daily Grape… Right when you announced it I went to the page and created my username (Don Simpson, same as WLTV). My timing in buying an iPhone a few weeks back could not have been better. Just downloaded the mobile app.

A heartfelt THANK YOU for everything you have given the Vayniacs. You are a very passionate person with an unparalleled work ethic, it really is inspirational. I have learned so much about wine from you, the guests, and the Vayniacs and I’m extremely grateful.

Although Wine Library TV in its current format will be missed, I’m very very excited for Daily Grape!!!!!!

THANKS AGAIN FOR EVERYTHING!!!!!

Mott – You are the man too! What will you be doing now? One can only hope for some guest appearances.

The downloadable podcast was the only reason I was able to get my wife into trying new wines. We’d stream the podcast to the TiVo so we could watch together on the sofa. Huddled around a laptop screen – not so much.

Congratulations on episode 1,000! It’s an amazing commitment over five years to tape WLTV almost everyday, along with everything else going on. Thank you. The can-do positive spirit of Wine Library TV was an enormous encouragement to our domaine during its darkest days in 2006 & 2007- as well as being the great resource for discovering more that is has been over the duration. All the best for Daily Grape, and thanks again! RD

That’s it? THAT was the 1,000th show? Such a big build up and yet I can’t imagine anything possibly being any more anti-climatic. It reminded me of the last episode of Seinfeld. Seriously, you should have brought your dad on the program, opened some great wines, or perhaps did a “best of” WTLTV. If this is what Daily Grape will be like, I’ll move on.

Hello. David M. Roberts here, and I cannot log in to Disqus, so I will just post as is.

I remember when I first “discovered” WLTV in 2006 likely several months after it had been on – I actually found it while tooling around on Youtube, and like a moron, my first few comments were posted on Youtube as opposed to the actual site. Since that time, I have enjoyed and greatly appreciated all you have given. I will also admit to being a fan of Sir Gary’s. The show has been a special retreat for me on so many noisy days; a small sanctuary on the web where I can lose myself in the show and learn something as well.

I understand the change, as that’s who you are and what makes you successul, and I am also thrilled the shows continue, and look forward to another five years. Hopefully, they won’t travel as fast as these last five have.

The other part of me wishes you’d just keep producing the shows in this format (maybe sans the most horrid Disqus!). Sometimes, I think change is thrown into the mix just for its own sake, while certain traditions suffer… but I am not complaining. Only reminiscing about the simple things that made this show so special to me, and many others.

It will be missed.

At the same time, I am glad you will continue to broadcast and work your magic. I will tune in.

My best,

Dave

The King is dead!
Long Live The King!

Thanks!

Thanks so much, Gary. My cellar has more variety and I enjoy wine more now than I did when you started, so your mission was a success with me. Best of luck in your new venture; heading there now to check it out 🙂

TIME TO GET AN IPHONE! 🙂

Is he going to do the spreadsheet for Daily Grape?

No, thank you.

Good one 🙂

Aw, hun, we love you too. It’s been a helluva run.
Since I cheated and read the comments first, I’m already signed up on the Daily Grape with the same old user name and it’s up on my iPhone as I type this. I might even get the husband to download the app on his phone! The website has a nice clean feel to it also. I hope we see our international and non-iPhone WLTV friends there!
So I can’t be sad. There’ll still be the occasional interview on WLTV, and we’ll keep learning something new with you every day on the Daily Grape. (Can we please still see Mott sometimes?) On we go!

My dude, I don’t even know what to say. I get caught up by this great web show about 4 months ago, power through a few hundred episodes, and now it’s gone.

Being honest I’m sure it’s a good choice for you and your family which has to take precedence. Thanks for at least releasing Daily Grape for Iphone first. 🙂

Yours,

B.S.

We Love you too. Can’t wait to watch on Daily Grape. You’ve educated me about wine and made me happy and excited to watch WLTV. Now it’s time for some change. Good Luck with the new Daily Grape!!

Oh… wait a second… since you’re going to be doing this in different places will you still be bringing out the brown bags? BROWN BAGS!

Thanks Gary. You definitely changed the wine world.

Thank you, Gary! You’ve educated, entertained, and expanded our palates for the past 5 years. I, as many others, am very grateful for doing this. God bless, and we love you, too!

Thank You Gary Vay-Ner-Chuk for everything!

GV, Thank you for everything for the past 5 years. I can’t say enough how you have increased my confidence and my palate. I am excited to check out Daily Grape and actually fit into your idea as I have been watching the past 100 episodes or so on my mobile phone. That said, I use a Droid so I will have to wait for the app on that platform. Thanks again.

Thanks Gary for all the entertainment and education. Really enjoyed wine library TV and looking forward to Daily Grape.

You’re an inspiration to us all…
Keep the momentum rocking!

Thank you so much for this great show and sharing, I’m new (1 year) but I think by now I have almost seen them all.. 😉 Will keep following and will check out Daily Grape right now, thanks Gary!!!

Wow….not sure what to say…hope you keep in mind that a lot of us don’t ride on subways….in a world where things keep coming at us faster and faster it has been nice to stop a while and watch WLTV….I’m not sure that I need another fast paced brain dump….hopefully that is not what you are looking to do at Daily Grape….sporadic WLTV episodes seems like something that will be hard to follow.

That aside, I am in your debt for all that you have done over the last 1,000 episodes no matter how I feel about your future endeavors. You have definitely changed my wine world and for that I thank you. Good luck Gary!
