I have been lurking for a couple of weeks now, Trying to catch up on the past episodes that iTunes has downloaded, wanting to have a reason to write (never know what to say), Anyway, I am here in Northern California, cannot wait to get involoved in this, Will try and make it at least one if not all events. Will help in anyway that I can. Going to go and pre-order right now if there is anything left. Being a part of changing something as monumental as the wine world is amazing, thanks to Gary for including all of us in that!

Make The First User-Generated Roussanne!
[...] I knew there was another blogger/podcaster working with Crushpad on a wine but had no idea it was Gary Vaynerchuk from Wine Library. I think this is great and will definitely join his group to make a Napa Cab. I also hope to be [...]

Just last night I was bemoaning the fact that you have to be a gadzillionnaire to own a winery and then hallelujah Gary comes along to lead his people home. Are you sure you aren’t Canadian? Goddess bless you, and how can I sign up?

Well Gary, this is just so amazing. I feel part of a community, and not just a comunity in the Internet kind of way but a real community. Hello everybody. Let us create a great wine together. And you local people who have the opportunity to go there for the harvesting, dont go eating up all the grapes now!

So excited

Hi Gary,

I am still following your vlog day by day and I am thrilled by your idea. You put so much energy and as we say in Germany “heart blood” into your idea to create a real wine community.

One question, you mentined, that in the future you might end up doing such a kind of project in different areas of the world, but how can we participate now in this project? is there any chance of a least buying some botles at the end of the story here in Europe, are you going to export some cases?

would be great to know.

regards
Thorsten

Hi Gary,

nice idea and big thumbs up for your enthusiasm.
However, I am a little bit unsure as to how this should
work out well. Many people with many opinions could possibly
spoil the result.

Still I hope it will be a success and send you my best
wishes for your project.

Happy Wine Guy
Gary sells out. What a jerk-off. I wonder who will get the 500 cases? Those who are in S.F. and those that pay the most. What about the rest of the nation? Piss on them. Gary wants to play big-shot wine maker and go against all that he has been saying all along. Average guy — screw you! I make wine and you don’t. Whoever pays the most gets to blend it. I say kiss my ass Gary. I don’t want any wine made by some rich kiss up. In the mean time I will keep my inclusive attitude towards wine, help those who show interest and avoid the elitists…including new ones like Gary. What a disappointment. Make sure to charge your Mom for her one bottle, jerk.
