Congrats on 600 Gary AND Mott. Nice to see Mott sit in for a bit, I know hes a bit camera shy. Once again I ARRRGGGHHHHH that I cant get the secret packs, but its still fun to watch how things turn out. QOTD: No secret packs!

Gary,

I’ve been slacking and haven’t watched an episode in several months, but I came back to experience some THUNDER and want to thank you for this great episode. I’m hoping to make a little time to get caught up, because “a little bit of you” certainly helps me get excited about and reminds me of the important things in life.

Many Thanks,
Chad

Gary, Thank you so much for the xmas secret pack show. My brother showed our family the Thanksgiving show (without the wine) and we decided that night to get the xmas pack and, as a family, become part of the VaynerNation in December. I had emailed you in early December about getting the secret pack in Minneapolis (can’t get it shipped here, WEAKSAUCE!) and you and your crew did your best to help me out. It was looking bleak and then I realized my brother lives in Brooklyn and he could buy the pack and check it on the way to MN. By the way, as you asked we did thank my brother for introducing WLTV to us…it has brought much entertainment and excitement to our family and more importantly my parents are now being more adventurous and trying new wines. OK, back to the xmas pack tasting. We all sat around my brothers laptop in the living room…linked it up to the stereo for true Thundershow sound…and began! Gary, it truly was a great moment for my bro, sis, parents and I to be together on a cold Minnesooota night laughing, sniffing, whirling, sharing our feelings on the wines and noticing how all of our feedback was different just like all of our personalities. It was also great to see our parents in a truly happy state (could have been all the wine) and so relaxed that my dad even began to admit halfway through the show that this reminded him of trying different types of pot in the 60s. WOW, we were laughing almost to the point of tears together. Finally, we tried the Chateau Puech-Haut. GARY! WOW! blew us away! I wish you could have seen the look on all of our faces…I’ll remember it forever. And with that concluded our fantastic evening. Secretly, I told my brother when back in Brooklyn to buy a couple of bottles of the 2004 Chateau Puech-Haut (if he can find it, I see your sold out) and store them. We’d love to surprise my parents in 5 to 10 years and drink that again as a family to relive the memories. Thank you again for all you do!

My wife turned me on to your website–you’re a lunatic–I’m hooked….

Happy New Year!

Dave

P.S. As for the Jets… I feel your pain brother. I’ve been a Jets and Mets fan (glutton for punishment, no?) since the mid 60’s. Except for what, 5 years all told, it’s been torture. Guess I’ll just have to drink more wine…

So I just had a South African SB…not the one on this episode (it awaits for me in TN as I sit here in the tundra of Montana). I was a little uninspired. I hope Bob’s is better…

Gary, congratulations on #600! Great job. You bring much happiness and wine confidence to many. Well done.

QOTD: Never done a secret pack, but I have had that Rhone Rebel before. Pretty good stuff.
