Garyvee,

Great show! I love going mobile and showing us around WineLibrary… PLEASE DO A VIDEO TOUR AND SHOW US AROUND THE DIGS!

Chicken – Quote from my 4 year old son yesterday, “I am a diabolical chicken nugget!” Not sure, don’t ask.

Apple – only the finest computing devices on the earth.

Gary;
Watched #701 last night and was suprised that the store had already sold out(???).
Thanks for the journey into another Italian white – I bought some Verdiso and Pecorino after watching episodes 567 and 627. Lots of little heralded italian varieties out there.

I had an Ocone red at a restaurant in Sorrento last MAy that was great. I have not found it since. Very little distribution on this maker in the US. DUnno why.

QOTD:
Apples – baking
Chicken – pot pie

loved the Apple/chicken thing. !! wow! loved the action! Hope to find that wine… wine sounds great. One store in America has it. haha. So are we reviewing wines or just watching Gary have fun? hmm. Try a wine Library TV with no wines and see if you don’t get the same following… it’s YOU!

When you say Chicken – I say BBQ
when you say Apple – I say sauce.

ugh?

Awesome show again GV! Expanding our palate!!

Nice camera work action Mr. Mott!! It’s always nice going backstage, finding Sasha & AJ along the way. The old man always brings the Thunder!!

QOTD: Chicken = Nuggets.
Apples = Apple pie.

QOTD: Chicken…..BBQ
QOTD: Apples……Autumn

Last year after a Greco di Tufo WLTV episode, I went out to try some. While shopping, I also picked up Falanghina, Fiano, and some other white varietals including the wines of Muscadet de Sevre et Main. I became obsessed with trying white varietals that I had not tried before. I love expanding my palate.

Nice camera work Mott, keeping up with GV.

Hey GV…nice show. However, as I suggested sometime ago, give us the full “backstage” tour of wine library. Let us see where it all happens.

Always good when you offer up something new.

QOTD: Chicken = McFly

I agree with Kathyd. Nerd it up some more. We may need a real wine maker to answer some of the more serious questions about the influence of weather, oak etc.
We burnt some chicken tonight with your suggested typical Priorat. Vega Escal. Not bad for 20 bones. Coulda used some MOTTs!

Fun episode..we need one like this from time to time.

QOTD: Apples remind me of the cider that I began making today using the crabapples from my backyard. And that package of chicken reminds me of salmonella..yumm!

Man, when I visited WL I rode the elevator with someone on your staff and it stopped on the 2nd floor… If only I had known, I would have at least stuck my head out and peeked to the left!

QOTD:

Chicken = Parm.
Apples = PIE

Costco Chicken and Apple sausages. Some of the best sausages I have eaten. Great show. Been away too long. That’s what little ones can do to you.

Gary, long-time watcher and first-time commenter because I wanted to chime in and say that I loved the spontaneous feel of this episode. That’s what is great about podcasts… you can turn to TV shows if you want that scripted aspect, but sometimes you want something fun to watch that feels like real life. You’re a wonderful, engaging host.

QOTD: Chicken and apples… two of my favourite foods, that’s what comes to mind.

That last show was like a virtual tour of the store and warehouse and the offices -love to see it, too! show ideas – things i’d like to see:
a LOT of wine NERDY stuff: OAK different types & how they affect wines taste;tannins, acidity grapes grown in mountains taste vegetal, WHY?? Why does a SB from NZ taste different than one in Chile? talk about weather&grapesas you said before GET NERDY with me!Wine terms, and wine descriptive terms – what do those descriptiors REALLY mean to YOU? What do YOU say tannins taste like? what is different between tannins and just plain harshness.I have read the typical wine descriptor glossary, i know definitions – but don’t always “agree” want to know what U think of some of most oft used descriptors? okay – calm down – another #wine rant gone badly. Going to work now. BUt PUH-LEASE talk about malolactic fermentation & creaminess!9:45 AM Jul 11th from web in reply to garyvee

I’m really enjoying the variety. Strayed away for a while, but am now back into the show. Love the spontaneous camera grab. I like the idea of quickly interacting with other people, maybe like recurrent characters similar to the late night show side kicks, or small adventures behind the scenes of their studios.

QOTD: Chicken – Enchiladas. Apples – How you like dem’?

Hoo-Hoo! LOVED the show! That’s how my days go at the store EVERY day! Talk about random and distracted, I am all over the place doing a hundred different things at once and having a great time doing them! Looks like a fabulous place to work, too!

QOTD: Apples? I think of the Sweet Pea Apple wine we sampled in the store this weekend – low alcohol and fresh, crisp and light – perfect for a summer’s day in Dallas.
Chicken? Hmmm, I don’t eat meat,but when I think of chicken I think of my daughter’s key-chain, a rubber chicken laying an egg – ICK! but that’s what I think of, when you squeeze the rubber (plucked) chicken, it “lays an egg” ~ totally “EEEEWWWWWWW” factor, but fun, too.

Awesome show Mr. Vaynerchuk, love the spontaneity and how everyone was thrown off. I am in the navy and because of you I have showed dozens of fellow sailors the wonderful world of wine. Thanks again and keep up the amazing work! Big shout out to all on the U.S.S. Jacksonville! -Jamie Norfolk VA
