So, big congrats on the 500th episode…..loving it! Never tasted the oak monster on my Muga, so I must be palate shy!

Hoping you are mailing our wristbands all the way to Singapore…..the emerging Vayniak group here is crying out for a wristband!

Keep up the good work Gary V!

Congratulations on making 500 GV…. Great show and I wish I could have seen the live feed on R3. Extremely jealous of all the members of the Vaynernation in attendance.

Just watched it again (watched it live) and it looks like you had a lot of fun, great show. Quite the contrast from the Boston show a couple weeks back.

Are ya coming to Houston anytime soon?

As usual, great show. I think the only thing we were missing was the Junkyard Dog, Jimmy Superfly, and Mr. Fuji.

Great episode even if the wines were “Meh”. I love CrushPad and the whole idea of making wine for yourself. Jets 21 Oakland 14

Nice job with #500, was lots of fun to watch! I had a chance to try the Bodegas Primicia Rioja Reserva and liked it very much; my palate seems to like a hint of poopy poop. Rioja has not been on my radar screen before but that will change.
