I thought this episode was hilarious, and very much in the spirit of WLTV. Gary’s in no danger of being permanently supplanted, clearly, but that was pretty fun.

AJ should do an episode or two, now that he is of age and Gary is busy enjoying fatherhood.

Great episode. I love how you tossed this in here to satisfy the Vayniacs so they wouldnt erupt into violence.

Pretty funny! This is like watching the Justice League without Superman. I mean why did the Justice League even exist if Superman was a member – he could do it all by himself.

What a bunch of stupid arseholes! They are supposed to fill the shelves and to clean the floor and not to try saying something in front of a camera.

I’d like to see Gary taste this and review it.

It’s funny (not funny-haha). I’ve heard multiple podcasters make comments that viewers seem to forget that podcasters are people too. You’re not paying more than 2 cents for this podcast and you always get your money’s worth. Other podcasts are free. Yet viewers and commenters show no civility or appreciation for the effort that people put in to their websites and podcasts.

I appreciate the work WLTV does to put out this show and you knew before watching (or early on) that Gary wasn’t in it. If that was going to automatically make you unhappy, don’t watch.

Or better. Keep your 2 cents. I’m sure these guys don’t need it.

Good job, fellas.

Excellent job, guys! It was nice to see a few faces that I’ve had e-mail exchanges with. (Ian, you rock!) Great to see AJ’s mug again, too.

The boys were having some fun while you were away. As always the show never takes itself too seriously and that’s why we watch.

Jay Curtis said it best. Relax, take a chill pill, breathe…

I loved this ep for the spirit, the team effort, the comraderie. Ian and Brandon were quit forthright in their TN – oh and hey Brandon- thanks so much for helping to rush my last order for my kid’s bat mitzvah! You were clutch!

Now all we need to do is meet Liz, Gary’s sister and parents – and we’ll have met all the Vaynerchuks!

QOTD: What the hell was this?

None the less the ending made me laugh so I liked it!

Nice Job Guys! Don’t know what all the complaints are about. These critics should try to spend a little time in front of a camera instead of behind a keyboard and see how they look. Way to show some good humor and camaraderie. Seriously though, I think I’ve spoken to every one of you guys at one time or another and you’ve always been extremely helpful to me in the store. And Gorman knows just when you might need a refresing poolside “latte” (wink).

And kahuna, I do believe that was the French Legionnaires Moustache!

Delegation is the most difficult of all skills to master. It means setting one’s ego aside.

But, to be honest I kind-of miss the ego

Enjoy your holiday

Whoa! Some of you folks are harsh! Guess you’re not into change and are still drinking chardonnay rather than a Torrontes! Way to go guys! Thanks for putting in the time. Hey, Ian, how about that Calon-Segur??

Nice one Ian! You can stand in for Gary any time. The “Ianiac” t-shirts are being designed as we speak. : ))

What the heck! May not of been the best show ever, but sometimes changing the wine world means just having a little fun! I enjoyed the little show and I hope the guys enjoyed making it. Way to fill in!

Ack! Do not ever do that to us again Gary, that was nearly painful. I say nearly because half the time I was laughing at this. Stick to AJ if you need to have a stand in, he seemed like he would have done a better job than the other guys even if he is under age.

I agree with the comment by Chris just above mine. Jim Gorman has recommended excellent buys for me time after time. Brian, you may make your next comment when you become an adult — if ever!
