Looks like it will be a tough contest. Lot’s of energetic, creative, and *desperate* Vayniacs looking to bask in your glory.

Of course, I gave you props in my blog (finally), but no response from you!

Good Stuff…the clip that starts at 39 secs in…brilliant marketing for the Vayniacs. Train the palate while mowing the lawn..now that is thinking outside the box. No wonder the WLTV audience is growing so rapidly.

Gary, were missing 5 minutes and 33 seconds of this episode? Where did it go, all black and nothing showing..

What’s uppppppp….

There’s some pretty cool Vayniac’s in the first 3 minutes.

Particularly like that $15 99 point wine Gary reviewed in the last 2 minutes of the episode. I hope it doesn’t sell out too quickly. In fact I am going out to buy all I can before it does!

And Gary’s QOTD left me dumbfounded!

I have been wondering what was the deal as well. No video after the first few minutes. Oh well I guess it is back to reruns for me .

AJ VayVay– ‘Sopranos’ style…… nice… way to leave us hanging in style. (Though I hope we actually learn the fate of our characters, and in the next couple of days would be GREAT!

Other than the long blackness, I really enjoyed that. You must have had a blast watching all the videos Gary & co.!

Winodontist
Once again I sit here lamenting the fact that I am creatively lacking and also too damn busy to put together some sweet ass video of myself to send in.
This will be the trip of a lifetime for someone and my jealousy may turn to rage!

QOTD: Does anybody know what the deal is with the iTunes reviews? I wrote a review, but I don’t see it on there.
June 27, 2007

Man, those crazy Vayniacs are something!! People, YOU are REALLY changing the wine world!!! Playing rock with Vayniac T-shirts while sipping wine?? Awesome! Taking a snack out of your lawn mower?? Unheard of before GV!! You all deserve to travel to CA with Gary!

Keep on changing our world, folks!!

Cool stuff. Lots of creativity. I knew I wouldn’t have a chance against that type of talent.

Gary – Here’s a QOTD for you. Have you tried the Shoofly Aussie Salute 2005? I’d like to see you include it in an upcoming tasting.

Wondering what happened at the 3 minute point on. Is the rest blacked-out as the svelte young lady with the amazing waist takes the T-Shirt OFF???

Those are some awesome entries. I particularly like the South Park nod and the guy who comments, “Dude, that’s messed up!!” Very funny and creative.

If I was good with animation I had an idea for a video where Gary fights a legion of enemies brought on by the oak monster in a Fantasia style movie with music from Beethovens 9th. Of course, Id go out of control and make it like 75 minutes long and it would take me eons even on a computer. Never mind the fact that Im posting this over a year after the contest ended. Oh well. Interesting videos. The Behing the Vlog one could be a great spin if seen in its entirety.
