    VaynerPASS also on the SS for the Kenwood Chard from Ep #100

    Matty Van, I’ve been using the VaynerPASS already (I like that one better than the initial VaynerCHUCK).

    Initially, my SS only showed the VaynerNODDED (recommended wines)as that was all that I cared about. When the WEB SS was launched on Ep #97, Gary announced that we would be adding ALL wines to the SS. Starting w/ #97, I started adding all wines. For the wines that Gary passed on, I wanted to make it easy for all VAYNIACS to identify. So, I put a “VaynerPASS” as the first word in the “TASTING NOTES” section. Go to the SS and look at the 2 VaynerPASSED wines!! :-)

    Sean M and Tony, The VaynerCHUCK was one of the very first ones. If you remember back on, I think Ep #63, is where Gary mentioned the “HILL-ARIOUS” links to the VaynerNOD and the VaynerCHUCK which wereset up by Brandon M. These were the first two. The VaynerNOD was when GV nodded in approval leading to his recommendation of that wine. The VaynerCHUCK was a generic term for when Gary passed…it normally involved a VaynerSHAKE (shaking his head in disapproval before the spit).

    As time has gone on, there have been many more different VaynerISM’s that now lead up to the ultimate VaynerCHUCK. The VaynerSHAKE, VaynerCLANK, VaynerSCOWL would all fit into that sub-category and the VaynerInstaPour would fit in as well.

    I think I’m correct on this VaynerHISTORY. Does this clarify?

    Hey Chris, I keep forgetting to do my bit to inflate your ego, nice job on the spread sheets.

    VaynerINSTA-POUR? Isn’t Vayner-’CHUCK’ easier to say?

    GREAT, GREAT Job, Gary! You definately found a way to make #100 special!

    If you are taking requests, could you taste the San Rustico Amarone 2000 …seems like a real bargain for $21.

    This was my favorite episode because it’s ripe with your personality, Gary. Absolutely great. You mentioned your Mom and her faith in your ability at such a young age to contribute to the family business – maybe we’ll see her in a future episode?

    Great episode! Congrats on your 100th – hope there are at least 100 more. I don’t get much time to drop in on WLTV (I really should be working right now…) but always enjoy it when I do.
    Chris S.- Love that spreadsheet. What a great resource.

    Gary V!

    I was in the Big Easy and had to miss this when it came out – so i am just watching today.

    Great stuff, great stuff.

    I am not sure which episode I would say is my favorite. I think it is the one (I coudl never find it when I went looking earlier) when you said that “There are no great wines, only great bottles”. It was obvious early in WLTV’s history that this was a different sort of wine review. That phrase sort of captured it all for me.

    Here’s to another 100, if that condom headed guy doesn’t destroy your glass.

    Cheers!

    Rick E (Cmnt #200), I know exactly what you’re referring to…i call it the VaynerINSTA-POUR,

    Susan (Cmnt #201), Isn’t the BIGGEST reason that Ep #95 is your favorite because that’s the episode that Gary mentions meeting ME for the first time. LOL :-)

    Well Gary,
    You must already know that I love corn!
    After all I was born in Indiana – so yes, I love the corn at the beginning of this episode.
    I really loved the guy with the bucket on his head and the IGLOO guy! Very cool!!
    I always like to see pics of the rest of the building since I can’t get up to Jersey just yet.
    Thanks!
    Keep ‘em coming!
    We want another 100!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Gary-
    My favorite episode is:
    EPISODE 95!!!!! Alsace and TING!!
    Not only is this episode full of energy – you tasted the TING! Boy, I had to think about that one for a loooooooooonnnnnnnggggg time! Not!

  17. October 5, 2006

    Rick E

    GV –

    My favorite episode is any on which you’re so disgusted by the wine you just tasted that words fail you. Just a silent pour into the bucket, a s-eating grin, and move on.

    And I have to agree that the Jets draft history episode was probably one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.

    Here’s to the next 100!

    A vote for “monitoring” the comment chat – stuff like #144 serves nobody. Nasty, vulgar trash-talk has PLENTY of airspace all over this culture of ours. Those who like it and want to communicate that way have their pick of stuff to watch, listen to and talk about. I think WLTV chat is not there (Gary got a bunch of flack for his episode with all the GDs – good thing!) and ought to safeguard against going there. It’s censor-time.

    More hilarity, SS Chris. Good job! Jim

    Jim V. nice naming of the villian…a slightly more simplified version…it was Darth Vayner.

    Hilarious episode, Gary. I was laughing all the way through. Thanks so much for providing this fun and interesting forum for all of us to enjoy. Favorite episode is #100. I certainly hope you get your glass back. I think the villain was your evil twin Snidely Darth Vaynerchuk. You will need some help from Mr. T, Carrie Fisher, and Rocky the flying squirrel to get back on track. All the best, Jim

    Jason R, I will take your advice and keep my mind open… as GV says we can’t generalize and say there are good or bad wines/vintages/producers, only good or bad bottles (but i couldn’t resist teeing off!)

    On that theme, I recently had the ‘03 Franciscan cab.. like GV I was a fan of the ‘02 and like GV i was disappointed that the ‘03 didn’t do it for me

    GOL – I think that you need to keep your mind open on this one. I think that most of it is PISS too in bad years and that it would only be worth 3-5 bones, but in GREAT YEARS like 2003 & 2005, quality goes up and price stays the same!!! I wish this was the same in Bordeaux. I would love to give 2002 prices for 2005’s!!! BTW – They are not BLOCKBUSTER over the top AUSSIE’s, but there is good fruit, floral, and a great go to for mid-week for me.

    GOL, excellent use of CLANK in comment 189…kudos!!
