    Whenever I talk about wine I talk about the Thundershow. In my userprofile on different forums a link to show is always to be found. Including a forum with more than 100000 users. That’s how I spread the Thunder here in Sweden.

    Hi!

    I have talked about you to all my wine drinking co-workers. I emailed all my friends and family with the New Years Eve video with my picture in it wearing the wristband ver. 1.0. I have told the local wine sellers to check out your show. you are my top MySpace friend. I promise I will wear my WinelibraryTV t-shirt to the next tasting I attend. Thanks man.

    Hey Gary, I’ve been telling everyone I know about your show. We are going to the Sarasota (FL) Wine Fest in April and have been trying to figure out how to spread the thunder down there as well. We’ll get back to you on what happens.

    I have been spreading the thunder by telling everyone in my reasturaunt about Wine Library TV. Additionally, I have posted the latest episode of WLTV on my myspace page, added a blog to tell everyone I know about WLTV, and posted a bulletin telling everyone as well. My bulletin hits about 160 people myspace page. Wish me good luck in the contest.

    Couple other ways I spread the thunder.
    1. Wear my wrist bands when I go to tastings/wineries.
    2. Wear the original Vayniac shirt when I play soccer on the QPD soccer team.

    We have exchanged email before about the show and how proud I am of
    what you are doing and have been able to do so far. As far as this
    spreading the Thunder goes, I first got on about a year ago when I
    was a pharma sales rep in the city (NYC, like I had to make that
    clear) and wanted to know about wine to make better selections at all
    the dinners I was doing. I have learned a lot and continue to do so
    with each episode you put together. I have since been promoted to a
    district sales manager, due in large part to the success of my
    business dinners and shear salesmanship (sic). As a rep I called on 170
    dermatologists in the NYC metro area and spread the good word then. I am
    now based in the South and manage 10reps, each with roughly 150 to 200 doctors. I order the wine at all the dinners I attend and when the conversation starts up about what we are drinking, the good word is spread!
    Above all though, and I have said this in previous emails, I have my
    Dad very well educated now. Before it was “white/red wine”, now we
    talk grapes, terrior, and vintages.
    I thank you for your education and what it has done for me. Give me a
    shot at winning this competition.

    I spread the thunder by telling EVERYONE I know about WLTV. All my friends, co-workers, even strangers. I sent out a bulletin on myspace too. I had a few friends go to the boston wine expo (unfort I couldn’t go) and I told them to seek you out…and they did! Her name was Erin…if you happen to remember her. I watch WLTV on my ipod on the train and anyone who’s appears to be lurking over my shoulder to watch, I stop and tell them about the podcast (if i’m a lurker, does that make them a double lurker? a lurker squared? who knows!). When I go to the wine store, I whip out my ipod and tell the head-wine-honcho “I want that one” and point to the bottle which Mott so gracefully zooms in on :) Lastly, I submitted your website/podcast to bzzagent.com for their frogpond project. They have a really cool word of mouth web site.

    Good Morning Gary,

    Wendy and I drove through continuous driving snow from our home in Montreal, Canada… we made it but a hand full of SUV’s in snow banks along the way tells me some did not reach Boston.

    We really enjoyed meeting you, Liz, Sasha and the WLTV crew at the Boston Wine Expo. Thanks for your great welcome. Thanks for the hugs and kisses. Thanks for Sasha’s one-on-one tasting tour. Thanks for all of Liz’s time in telling us about herself and her Montreal family connection. Thanks for the great cheese. Thanks for the fantastic swag bag!

    We made a lot of instant friends as we went from table to table. The “Bring The Thunder” wrist bands wrapped around our glasses had many, many people looking our way… in envy! We meet and chatted up the WLTV booth to all who would listen and directed scores of couples to your 800 area location… did any every make it there???

    One of the popular questions we got was “Why the band around the glass? to which we received several possible answers from our new found friends:
    - “To keep the white wine cool”,
    - “A swirl over flow protector”,
    - “A drip protector”,
    - “A bumper to protect our Boston Wine Expo glasses”,
    - “A marker to recognize our glasses” or,
    - “A promotion for a wine called “Thunder, Lightning, Storm or maybe Bad Weather?”.

    If you feel our efforts measure up, we would much appreciate an entry in the “Bring The Thunder” contest… did I hear you whisper two?

    From our kitchen table, over low candles, over a fine meal, with as yet untried wine in our glasses and peering out over our now snow covered yard we say, every evening, thanks for the memories.

    Love
    Bill & Wendy
    Montreal, Canada

    I added “ask Gary” App on my facebook page: http://uci.facebook.com/profile.php?id=6029444

    I let all my friends know about the show. We have an email list of about 40 people. Not an excessively long list, but with very loyal friends! I recommended them the “train your palate” episode, and the “two-buck vaynerchuck” episode since most friends are still poor grad students.

    Finally, my wife and I started putting some of Gary’s lessons into practice, by trying some wines with a variety of fruits. Besides confirming our inability to appreciate most aromas, we had a lot of fun! And we are sharing the video with all our friends and all of you!

    I wish I could have done more, but I was out all this week. I’ve emailed about a dozen friends (those that haven’t started watching already.) However, I didn’t just send everyone the same email. I emailed each person a link to a specific episode where GV reviews either a winery, grape, or region that I know that person enjoys.

    I am spreading the Thunder on my blog (thewellsquozengrape.blogspot.com) and through our wine tasting club “The Well Squozen Grape”. I have gotten everyone in our group watching the show including a wine distributor and a wine retailer who hadn’t heard of it before. I also spread the Thunder to my patients who are kind of impressionable when I have sharp instruments in my hands.

    We dyed our dog (Rio) burgandy. It didn’t come out very well – we’ll send Mott a picture. Then we added a WLTV snout-band and took her to the dog park. People from all over came to see Rio and tell us what a beautiful shade of bright red she was – and when they asked about the snout-band we told them about the Thunder Show.

    Nothing compared to Kahuna’s Valentine video watched to the soundtrack of Rush’s “The Spirit of Radio”

    Seriously.

    Have fun and spread the thunder!

    I sent out Emails to every known relative, friend, coworker, acquaintance, and enemy extolling the virtues of WineLibraryTV.com and Gary Vaynerchuk.
    And attached to these emails was a short video clip. I then put this video onto YouTube so it could be watched by the masses. The title of the video is “Watch WineLibraryTV.com”.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OXTeGbInBM

    I also put two other WLTV related videos onto YouTube.
    New viewers to WLTV may want to check out these videos, that were entered in earlier contests on WLTV.
    The first one is titled “WineLibraryTV – The Lost Episode”

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6J1NCl51rA

    The second one is titled “The Vayniac T-shirt Telethon”

    Here’s the thunder I’ve been thundering out:

    1. First offline, all the wine shops I go into, now have Wine Library TV as a bookmark. I refused to let them take down the address, I showed them the Thunder show on my ipod touch, then got them to open it up on their browsers and add to bookmarks before I left the shops.

    2. Featured and embedded WLTV on my blog, sourgrapes.ie (a couple of times)

    3. You’re also a permanent presence on my blog with a banner in the footer

    4. Facebook: spreading the Thunder via Facebook

    5. Commenter, not lurker on WLTV!

    That’s about it, so far. Next on the list:

    6. Get a wine libary TV tattoo, on my forehead

    7. Change my name by deed poll to Gary Vaynerchuk

    8. Create a guerilla campaign by making TV Wine Library stickers and putting them on bottles throughout wine shops
