    Oh man, this is a far cry from the WLTV I first tuned in to and what it evolved into at present.

    Great first effort, but I definitely like Gary Vee in 2009 better than 2006. I’m catching up on all the episodes bit by bit in order from this one and am going to comment on each as I go (after two years or so it’s time I stop lurking). Am definitely looking forward to seeing the first episode to bring the thunder.

    I’ve always wanted to see your first episode (and having seen it I think I’ll watch a few more) – what an interesting perspective October 2009 gives it. So glad you’ve come as far as you did.

    Gary,

    Been lurking for a while now, finally wanted to post. I’m going back through your videos, I’m going to try to learn about wine. As you can see from my name, I run a cigar blog. Do you smoke cigars ever? I’d be interested in doing some reviews about pairing wine with cigars. Anyways, love the show, and am amazed by the success you have found through leveraging resources such as Twitter and Facebook. I am going to buy your book as soon as it hits stores.

    Gary, thank you for your hard work and dedication over the years, it has helped many of us to overcome the obstacles of getting into the wine world and allowed us to truly enjoy everything that wine, and even life, has to offer.

    The first step to reaching your goals is to articulate them. Thanks for the reminder and lesson.

    Gary, it’s amazing to watch the first episode (you’re now on 704) and hear your vision for WLTV and then reflect on your execution. You accomplished *everything* you set out to do and a lot more (e.g. the books).

    It is that kind of razor sharp focus and commitment to execution that makes dreams come true. You’re a role model for so many people.

    Sincerely,

    -Armond

    AS a gift to myself on the 4th of July, I thought I’d watch Episode 1 again. Great to see how it all started. Even back then the episodes were engaging and interesting. Cheers!

    I feel like I’ve been watching WLTV forever but today was the first time I got around to watching your first episode. And what a beaut! A little quieter than the manic garyvee we have today, but the passion shines through so strong. More power to ya!

    Gary,
    Been watching since late Dec 2007, but figured it was time to head back to the beginning. It is amazing to know where WLTV is know and see where it was back when it started. I love that you go into more detail now about the wines as it helps drive what wines I may want to seek out. A great idea and as evident by close to 700 episodes now, this show is a sure thing.

    Like the old style format, even if it is a real drastic difference from the origional one.

    QOTD: Where did all that hair go?

    I too had to see how it all started. So amazing that all the episodes are online. Love watching Gary do his thing, whether on the interwebs or at conferences. Always an inspiration.

    Needed to see where the journey started. Not wine drink…but the excitement in contagious…and I love the police sirens.

    Hey Gary, you’ve come a long way and I’ve learned a lot about web 2.0 by watching you. Incredible to think that your children’s children will one day watch these gems. I’m going to try to watch all of your back episodes and figure out when you first say sniffy sniff and when you start using the Jets bucket. You are an unlikely role model but I’ve been drawn in like a moth to a flame!

    Cheers, Billy Gadol

    Awesome. I like to watch your old vids when there is not a new show and I realized today that I hadn’t seen the first one. I could tell you weren’t as comfortable as you are now. The beginning rumblings of the thunder. Great job!

    Hi Gary,

    Fasinating to see how it all started.

    A real inspiration – 3 years on it is amazing to look back and I know you said on GaryVaynerchuk.com that it took 18 months of “hustle” before anyone took any notice.

    As ever always fun to look back at the first episode.

    Cheers

    ahahahahah! Episode 1 is a classic Gary, deserves better than an old school Quicktime player. You should bring those old episodes into Viddler, they definitely are on the “must see” list, people need to know how this all started! Great inspiring journey so far, thanks for showing us the way to innovation through true passion!

    I am making a DVD for my mom because she doesn’t have Internet. I sent her an autographed copy of 101 Wines, and she loved it. I had to watch the genesis of WLTV. Great job Gary.
