I did the secret pack tasting for the first time with my wife, her parents and her brother. It was a blast. We paused the show and gave each wine a sniffy sniff before you did to see who could pick up the scents that you did. For the last wine, which rocked by the way, my mother-in-law says “rhubarb” and we are like “what in the hell is rhubarb”…and then of course, you said it smelled like rhubarb. She was so pumped about it. We enjoyed all the wines and are hooked on the secret pack. Can’t wait till the next one. Thanks!

What a load of rubbish. This type of marketing ignorance can only do harm to the industry.

Little knowledge and a load mouth will not educate or earn new customers

I watched this episode on my Treo last night before going nighty night! Another great episode. I hope to host a secret pack party with my brother, his wife, my boyfriend, and other local St. Louis wineauxs soon.

Had a great Christmas. Got to drink some Staglin Cabernet on Christmas Eve with my brother and family. Gary is right, sharing a bottle of red with family and friends is a great thing. (Especially if you didn’t pay for it.)

Congrats on Episode 600!!!! You rock Gary Vee!!!!!

When are you going to start posting on http://garyvaynerchuk.com/ again? I love your few minute rant, advice, or what ever you want to talk about. The last one was Dec 5th, I really enjoy listen to it while I take a break at work. Get on it..

Also, I just bought a few bottles of Caymus 2006. It was recommneded to me from a friend. I dropped $60 bones per bottle. I was wondering if I should sit on this wine for a year or more, or should I drink it now? I bought 2 bottles in case I decided to drink one now. But I was looking for your advice…

Nearly there – only a little over a hundred to go… I think we can do it. I want to see one more before the new year.

I only had the Rhone Rebel. My friends loved it, and it’s only $8, a great deal.

Saw the Today show, it was pretty sweet. Guess they finally let you finish a whole segment on TV.

this is my second comment. Great job on Today. I’m glad they gave you more time and even more glad that lady brought up the sniffy sniffing so you could tell America to smell their wine!

Gary,

Excellent episode. I was watching it on the NY Thurway travelling from Springfield, Mass. to Rochester, Ny.

Here is a picture of Episode 600 on my iPod in the car:
