Do you always drink tough-juice when you do live shows? You seem really tough and forceful with the crowd.

Love live shows…lots of activity in the background though??…but certainly different! Goes to show – you bring the thunder where ever you go!

QOTD: Not as many but I have had a few crowds listen to me ramble about wine! alot of fun when it happened!

Kind of strange. It’s probably just because there were so many people, but it didn’t sound like anyone was even paying attention.

Wow — sounds like few there were listening! as for QOTD — my record would be around 180

Awesome show Gary…man you were pumped!!!

Can’t believe you brought up “sheep butt” again, Damm you Vaynerchuk!!

Meh show, not really a vaynernation type IMO.

QOTD: Only had a few dozen at work meetings and seminars. Of course if we are including group activities than hundreds from my high school playing days.

Damn, Gary! Was that crowd drunk? They sure were a loud bunch! Cool show on the pinots, and a huge shout out to the fine folks at C. Donatiello, especially Robert Conard, that awesome tasting room/visitor center manager guru! Robert buddy – congrats to all on a nice review from Gary Vay-ner-chuk, and we will all be sure to ignore all of the pukes (ummmm sorry), make that so-called expert reviewers, who forget to spit out their TicTac’s before they review remarkable wines. (No, I am not talking about Gary here!!!)

QOTD – I am a musician by nature, jazz and big band mostly, and our audiences are much quieter and more polite during our shows, except at the end, when they shower us with applause, adulation, adoration, cash, panties, and the occasional overripe vegetable….. cheeres!

Stay true to yourself Gary. Don’t push the show too far, too high, too loud. Too much is to much.
Also, it seemed to me that it was not the best conditions to taste wine.

Trying to get back into the WLTV groove after so long away….this felt like a strange episode to start with – all the weird echos, dark ambience etc!

Not sure about the sheep-butt exploding in your mouth though!

QOTD – Maybe not as many peeps, but a fair few were reading my Pesquie Diary over the last week and a half.

qotd: never ever.
How about tasting some “available” wines? It’s always fun to see what you’re talking about.

QOTD: All the time (I perform standup regularly in front of 200+).
Sounds like you were talking over a lot of ambient noise/chatter,
which is no fun.

QOTD: How many were watching and how many were not (alot of background talkers)? I am guessing a LARGE number, so no, I have not had that many stop and watch me do anything (which might be a good thing )

Love the live shows Gary… and I don’t like Pepper Johnson….

Ronnie Brown, on the other hand…

QOTD: recently did a run of Godspell at my church for a nightly crowd of about 400-500 peeps! Not bad for a group of amateurs…. THAT’S bringing the THUNDER!!

QOTD: Probably not since I was playing in some big college tennis matches about 5 years ago.

QOTD : Maybe, how many peeps are we talking here ?

I have to say, being on stage in front of a large number of people is very exhilarating. I’m a musician and it’s a different experience for me every time.

QOTD: Maybe a handful of little kids, but that’s the oldest group of boisterous crowd I’ve ever had listen (or not listen) to me. By the way, you’d be proud of all the new wines I’ve been trying!

Well too bad you will be in Miami. I am putting together interactive harvest stream that starts next week with the winemaker and vineyard manager for Q&A. Hopefully after we integrate TalkShoe and Ustream we’ll have some rad peeps to talk to.

I love you Gary, you know that, but this wasn’t one of my favorite episodes for some reason. Maybe it was the mic or something. Maybe it was the stage. You know what – it’s coming through… No Jets bucket. That has to be it.

Props for passing out the wine. “Try new stuff!” Word.
