  • Dessert Wine Nerd
    Great show and congrats on the book!! QOTD: Absoultely. I had seen the book in the window of a Barnes and Noble and planned on getting it, but life crept into my brain and it slipped my mind. Thankfully this episode refreshed my brainpan and I will be down to my bookstore soon to snag a copy.
  • John B
    Congratulations on the book man! How on Earth did you find time to write a book during the holidays while doing everything else?

    QOTD: Eventually, oh yeah!
  • Carpe DM
    Great show on bubbly, Gary! I not only bought two books as well as placed several wine orders, but have finally (after much lurking) left my first comment to say "EXCELLENT JOB ON YOUR FIRST BOOK". May it be the first success of many publications!!
  • cheech

    Just bought 2 books. Looking forward to getting them in. They will make good gifts as well. Nice show. Love when you have Champagne / Sparkling on the show. Keep bringing 'em on. Thanks for 444 Gary!
  • David
    I'll buy two, for sure. The first is for me. The second is to spread the Thunder.
  • I'll buy 2 tomorrow. Yeah, was me searching Vaynerchuk on Amazon in January at like 5AM. Don't quite recall why! Prolly coffee not even kicked in yet!
    Congrats on being a published author! That's awesome! I'm sure the book will be useful and fun.

    Dude! Congrats on being a "published author"! Coolness!

    QOTD: Why not? I'll buy a few and give some to some peeps who are not yet Vayniacs.
  • Courtney M
    Congrats on the book! I'll likely buy a copy, maybe two to and give one to my Mom as a late Mother's Day gift (seeing it will be released after Mother's Dayd).
  • pedro
    maybe buy the book
    most of the wine books i have are more based on facts and rules not some ones personal taste.
    I am happy for you Gary way to go hope it brings the thunder and you kill it with sales as it seems you are
    thx
    pedro

    Hey Gary -

    Congrats on the book. Looking forward to picking up a copy or two or four...

    Keep up the good work!
  • The Reuting
    Why wouldn't I buy a book? I does have pictures right? My reading skills are lacking. Great show and thanks for all the hard work.
  • Oregon Jim
    Gary,

    Nice job with "Oregon"! We can't wait to see you! Sorry to have missed you in Washington, now so glad you are coming here! I will buy the book. Maybe I can get it signed!

    You are to be congratulated on being published and I am so happy for you to finally be able to use the Vaynernation to help you leverage into a bigger market!
  • WILL BUY THE BOOK!!!
  • Randy Schoeneck
    Gary, I bought two to start with. Congrats and keep up the great work!
  • Definitely buying two. One for me and one to spread the thunder to a newbie. Am I the only one that thinks the image on the cover looks an awful lot like the short-haired Meatloaf from The Fight Club? Am I nuts?
  • This is my first comment. I've really been enjoying your podcast for the past few weeks.

    I'll be happy to order two books. Both to enjoy the books and to support your great work with winelibrarytv.
  • lee
    OH, I AM BUYING THE BOOK FOR SURE. the price will determine how many i purchase for others. but i will buy one for the house.
  • I wouldn't miss the book for my life!
  • First of all I'm a recent graduate of the CKC nation...super sweet!

    QOTD. I prob'ly will buy your book because I love you and obviously I love wine!
  • vibemore
    Congrats on the book GV! Sorry I missed you at the Taste of Washington. Looking forward to seeing you on the book tour. QOTD: of course, yes. multiple copies.
  • Henri
    Gary, I am from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
    I am just getting into wine, and love the doors and vistas you are opening, into the wine world. I will buy the book for myself, and several others for Birthday gifts. You are changing the wine world.
  • QOTD; I will when I go to the US in july. Looking forward to that!
  • Blah blah blah, Champagne, blah blah blah
    BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Awesome accomplishment Gary!
    Congratulations!
    I will grab-up some books...will try to get them signed!...think it will make a great gift item!
    Love you , love the show...even thought I never got a wristband!
  • Lindsay
    Hey Gary,

    My Husband and I are truly enjoying your show. We're complete WINOS now, but it's all good.

    You shouldn't lament your shows intro. To quote Shakespeare ( and who's going to argue with Shakespeare ) To thine own self be true" Hamlet

    My palate thanks you for the great information and the complete lack of pretentious bull @*&@!

    We would love to order your book, will you sign it for us?

    Cheers,

    wine lovers in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada.

    Vive la bon Vine!

    Martin and Lindsay
  • Ari M
    Yes. I'll get it when you come to Chicago (go bears) for the signing
  • arno
    One more for France, thks amazon, ok, the bad news is : almost a month before they ship it, so, 'till then let's open some bottles, go Gray, go !
  • Jim in Atlanta
    QOTD - Of course I am buying the wine book. Because we are changing the wine world.
  • Scott Giancola
    Gary,

    Congrats on the book. I will be placing an order for a few.

    Would love to have you visit upstate NY. You are so close by. How about an episode from one of the Finger Lakes Wineries like Dr. Konstantin Frank or Hermann J. Weimer

    Keep bringing the Thunder

    Cheers

    Scott

    Whoa Gary, not to rain on your parade but Iowa has corn and soy fields. I don't remember the last time I saw a wheat field in this empty state. Thanks for the mention though; it makes this state feel loved.

    I'm thinking about buying a book for myself. It doesn't cost too much so there's no harm in buying it.
