casillero del diablo’s 2005 carmenere. cheap, great, and can drink the case without feeling like you need to save the good stuff for a special occasion.

QOTD: we’ve never bought a case – too many different wines out there
Was that guy a ringer? Very entertaining. Didn’t get a lot of the football references though. You’ll have to explain them in footnotes.

GV I just wanted to say this was the greatest week for me mostly because I had these great shows to come home to every night. You and your first guest raised the bar really high.

I do hope these out of date laws get thrown under the table once and for all and maybe it’s time for us to get together to make some of these changes. I’m very fortunate to live in Virginia where I can order from the WL!

QOTD: My first case will be an Albarino, I just don’t know which one yet. Thanks for turning me on to all these different wines and champagnes!

Excellent ep. Nice job Mr Guest “drinker”.

QOTD: Not counting cases purchased for my wedding, only once, Treana Viogne ‘03 that I found after I thought it was all long gone. It’s my wife’s favorite and you need to do this type of purchase once in a while to allow for the purchase of wines she does not like at all, in other words my wines!

Okay, that had some serious sauce.

How fortunate we are out here in the stix to be able to buy all the wine we want off the internets.

QOD: Three of these and four of those, and I think I bought half a dozen ESJs all at once, but I don’t think I’ve ever bought a full case of anything. Mainly because 1) I don’t have room for that kind of thing, and 2) I’d get bored drinking the same stuff all the time, even if it was something I liked.

Did Kramer not comb his hair to go for the Seinfeld Kramer look? Gary, letting a Vayniac pillage your store on a Friday is a great concept.

I bought a case of Angelini Pinot Grigio this summer because I could drink it and not think about it and it was cheap.

QOTD: If I could, I’d buy a case of the 2005 Peconic Bay Cabernet Franc. But I can’t. Know why? CUZ I LIVE IN INDIANA, BABY! (one of the few states with goofier drinking laws than Maryland … but not Pennsylvania).

David, you were right ON TARGET and well-justified for the rant. I kept waiting for the Sam-Kenison yelling, but I guess you’re more disciplined than I.

Great ep. GV! Really like the Friday Vaynerguest concept….Great wines on the ep. today, I really wanna seek out more Duoro wines before they hit it big-time.

It’s great how giddy you both got when you tasted the Pomerol. It’s awesome how a great wine makes one react.

QOTD: Never bought a case of wine. Still trying to taste as much variety as possible.

DK’s closing rant makes me think that maybe he should of spit like GV.

QOTD: Don’t get me started…

QOTD: just one case bought so far — the NV T. Solomon Wellborn Pinot Noir from Tantara. Explosive nose, silky smooth, and just an obnoxious Pinot QPR for $19/bottle.

Dr T from N. Carolina
QOTD — well, 10 years ago I bought a case of Vin de Table that was seriously underpriced even for the time, does that count?

Oh man! That guy gave it all! Insane, i love this little friday twist -keep it UP Gary Vee!

QOTD: 5 cases of Mumm Napa Brut for the wedding reception. I know Gary likes to roll with the French stuff, but Mumm for a California wedding fit the bill quite nicely.

Have a great weekend in good health and try to forget that Monday is only two days away.

that ending was pure comedy, i truly am scared if i were to ever be on the show. nicely done!

Really great show! For a first time visitor I really got a lot out of the recommended 3 wines you had on today. I’ll be trying them soon!

Very fun ending to the show — I kept wondering if he was going to strip down to a bare chest.

QOTD: we’ve only purchased cases twice, and both times it was about getting a discount more than it was buying a bunch of wine we loved. One case was shared with friends, and the other is the cheap prosecco we drink every Sunday with breakfast.

That was an incredible bit of showmanship on DK’s part. Wow, he is the He-Man of Vayniacs. Who says you can’t fight city hall? or even the capital! We have the same alcohol shipping problem here in Wisconsin. How am I supposed to get my mom and dad a holiday pack? I have finals, I don’t have time to drive to Jersey. Gas would cost way more than the wine anyway…

Nice work DK!
QOTD – 2004 Pontet Canet

Gary – you finally have some real competition for hosting WLTV.
QOTD: Edgewood Cab – 2002

You could see the HUGE tears on that Pomerol- wow, I’d love to try it!

A side note: I often DREAM about what wines I would pick if I were on WLTV– I’m usually thinking $300 bottles for my own self enjoyment, BUT after seeing the high prices on these wines and knowing that I just can’t get them all, I was deeply saddened. SO, Gary, if you ever do pick me to go on WLTV, I’ll stick to the 10$-30$ price range for the Vayniacs sake .

QOTD: The Riondo Prosecco for 9 bones is AMAZING and I’m going through a case every 2 weeks!

QOTD: I’ve never bought a case of wine, but my father has purchased cases (plural) of Bald Head Red, made by Duplin a local NC winery.

Awesome show! I loved the little look at 3:39 Gary, and the t-shirt flip book was classic! Great job, David, you certainly set the bar high for the future co-hosts!

Wow I can see that the law are b…. not just here in Iceland, keep up a good work DK

QOTD: Well I got so lucky that I found a case of Tignanello 1999 from Antinori and only for 45$ a peace.

I sure do love a good rant! Gets the blood pumpin.”Thunder follows lightning”–classic.

Have a good weekend everybody!

WLTV INSTANT CLASSIC!
QOTD – never bought a whole case.
