Happy Birthday AJ. What a great time to be 21.

Absolutely LOVED the youtube of GV and AJ at the Jets draft. I laughed hysterically for 10 minutes watching Gary going bananas.

QOTD: I have one older Brother and we’re the best of friends. I’m blessed. Always good to see siblings so close.

Happy Birthday AJ from the sunny island of Cyprus.

You need a good wine education, and who better to give you it than the great Gary Veynerchuk to teach you!!!

QOTD – only have one younger brother – lets hope he thinks like AJ.

Happy Birthday AJ! You will probably find that wine improves with age ….the older you get the more you will like it.
QOTD… I am the eldest of three brothers.

Hope to catch the show soon. Next trip to bro-in-laws or parents house I will.

But happy birthday AJ. NIce bottle to save there Was hoping to see your tasting notes on that one, but will wait for the high speed access to see.

QOTD. One sister, younger then me by 3 years. Always trying to get her more into wine. My evil plan will be to eventually have stuff shipped to her house in NC(land where we let people order wine) and when I visit, I pick it up!!!!

Happy Birthday AJ. I wish I had the same guidance when I was 21. Get Gary to give you one of these as a present: http://www.mensup.fr/usbwine/?act=insc&mp=USBWINE&o=97&p=61. Beats walking to the shop…….my French isn’t that good, but you can get the drift….

Loved the show. Awwwwwwwwwww to the brotherly love.

QOTD: I have 3 older (like so old I donÂ´t know how much older they are than I am) brothers who are cool, but not GV cool. I also have a younger sister who IÂ´ve been trying to get into wine, so that makes me the cool one of the bunch.

Happy b-day AJ!

Happy b-day, AJ! Great job sticking to your guns about what you smelled in the wines. I am an oldest child, so I looked up to my dad. He has only gotten cooler as I get older.
Gary, great example of the reason why wine educators recommend serving wines white before red – after the red wines, the whites taste sweeter!
Great episode.

Happy Birthday AJ! You did a great job. And very well spoken for your age.

One of the best shows yet. It’s great to see a newbie’s reaction to wine.

QOTD – I have two younger brothers; Greg will be 31 next month and Justin will be 21 in May. I wish we were as close as you guys are.

Great show– putting on a “first-timer”.

QOTD: I am the oldest of three boys and I am sure my brothers would say I am “radool”

Happy Birthday AJ. Great show guys. It was interesting to have someone on really trying wine for the first time. Good job for your first real tasting.

QOTD: Yes, I have siblings. I am the youngest of 7, and as such, I enjoyed seeing the interaction between you two. Whata great way to make for a memorable 21st birthday.

AJ
Way to keep an open mind…and work through it and not get too frustrated, I know I did when starting and I know I am ever increasing my education of wine…just a beginner in a huge world of wine.

QOTD: My older brother(by 7 yrs) is the best…he introduced me to beer, wine, and many new things…I could never thank him enough for being the man he is.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AJ!

QOTD: I am the older brother, so I am sure that if my sister watched the show she would reply that in fact I am as RADOOL as GV. haha

Cheers it was a fun episode guys.
