    HEY GV

    SOrry to say just now I am going back and watching EP #1. YOu have stayed true to your promise of keeping it fun, lively, entertaining and educational. Keep the dream alive. I thinking I started watching around 135, so I am going to try and go back and watch each one up to that point. I have watched a couple here and there around certain topics/wines but only a few.

    Hey Gary,
    After having watched a bunch of your more recent episodes I just had to go back and watch the first.
    All I can say is: WOW, you have changed a lot in the past year and a half! I’m glad to see that now you’re a lot more animated and enthusiastic, which I assume is due to your level of comfort with the whole process.
    Thanks for doing this G.

    Gary, Started watching old episodes. Great start. I think you are definately on to something big. Great vblog, one I am going to continue to follow. Verite is in my neck of the woods. I’ll have to see if I can get by there. Thanks. And thanks to all the WLTV staff as well. I wish your store was in San Jose, CA!

    Wow, thank you Gary et al! I’m going to watch all of them as well until the alpha meets the omega–currently at episode 249, but it’s pure pleasure to watch and learn. Thanks again.

    Went back and compared ep’s. Is amazing what 14 months can do, and how Gary went from “Yes, the nose is really rich…” to smelling burnt rubber, Cindy Lauper, and the Marlborough Man.

    Taco’s Toppings Wine Library TV «

    [...] The man that makes the show is Gary Vaynerchuk,  the 30-year old Director of Operations of the Wine Library.  If you go through the archives and watch the show evolve, three things will become very clear.  First, the show started off very well, with pretty good production values.  Secondly, the learning curve was very quick for the guys behind WLTV.  If you watch the first episode vs. the 18th episode, on decanting, you’ll notice that it’s a night and day difference.  If you go from the 1st show to the 150th show, which is a matchup of First Growth Bordeauxs, you’ll be amazed at how much different the show is.  And that leads to the third thing: Gary’s passion for wine and his drive to help people enjoy their wine drinking experience more shines through, even in the first episode, but especially now, in the later episodes, as he has grown very comfortable in front of the camera.

    Finally saw episode #1. Man, how the times have changed and much for the better. This one seemed a little tight at first but then opened up a bit and now come Oct. your just plain off the wall. I think WLTV has to be the best thing to happen to stuffy wine tasting in a long time. Oh and I noticed the sticker too. What’d you do wash em pack em back in the box and sell them to Brandon. :)

    I have some down time waiting for episode 100, so I am doing a run through from 1 up to 99. I’m going to look for the Verite when the ‘02 are released. Hey Gary is that a Reidel sticker still on your glass?

    Wow, I just came back to look at the comments from the first episode and see that the first wine was called “The Truth”. That’s almost phrophetic.
