Gary – Wow, what a great idea. What better way to further educate the Vayniac nation in winemaking than including them in the entire process!

Looking forward to seeing more details. Count me in.

Very Cool. I can’t wait to be a part of the vayner Juice! A small part, but a part none the less.

Thanks GV.

Wurd up! What an awesome community-building plan – I hope the Vayniacs in MA can score a bottle somehow…

Put my name in for the Wine Taster positon. Daring effort, making wine, especially for people that know wine. Exciting project. Can’t wait to hear more.

How awesome is this?? Did anyone else get shivers or tears in their eyes? I’m in Ohio, but I will definitely contemplate how to make this journey a reality. Thanks Gary!

G.V. – Fantastic lead up and delivery. I’m looking forward to details, but I think I’m not going to be able to make the trip as I’m time off restricted through the next couple of months.
Critical Comment: Shoot more B-Roll footage next time.

Awesome idea. I hope I can participate. Are airfare, lodging, food included in at a certain level?

Gary – seriously, besides the group participation, what’s the difference between this and “Sharpshooter” or “Clone 5″?

Amazing! Worth the wait and such a great opportunity for the Vayner Nation. This really is what wine is all about…bringing people together, and now it’s bringing people from all over the country together. Thanks Gary. I want to buy a case, but I live in PA. Any way around that?

That is definately very sweet. I would be interested in this. Unfortunately I live in Ireland and have no way to get to SF in the next few weeks or months. Like the Scandinavian fellows above me, maybe we can hope for something in Spain or Italy. Anyway, it sounds cool and I’m sure everyone who participates will have a great time.

I’ll have to get in on this one.

Very exciting news! I was interested in particiating in a Harlan Estates project that sounded like this one, only way out of my league financially.
You don’t need to worry about the anticipation being the best part of the game, as some games, including the wine game, never end. Every year it’s a new and different story with new sets of anticipations. I will be following this with interest, especially as I am not so far from San Francisco.
