    I added You, Gary Vay-ner-chuck to be my friend on facebook. Now all my exclusive close and personal friends that make up the entire portion of my friends-list will say “Who the hell is that guy?” And therefore, my portion of people in this world will ‘feel the heat’, and potentially become a true Vayniac.

    Keep up being the ultimate wine blogger, and I will forever help you spread your love for the wine world.

    I am spreading the thunder, Facebook-style.

    Wine goes great with a little literature and there’s no better book than a face book, right? ;)

    I penned a small blog on how you, GV, are changing the wine world, and how we’re all having fun doing it.

    Here’s to the revolution!

    I have been playing episodes pretty much non stop at home for my sons and their buddies. 18 to 21 yrs old.. They are all getting stoked on when they can start buying wine for special nights out ect… Part of a fathers duty make sure your kids know about the finer things and another bonus of working hard. They (the next vayniac generation) thank you for the inspiration

    OK, so the comment system is turning two dashes into one, and breaking my YouTube link, so here is a different link to the same parody video.

    Another way I’ve been trying to spread the thunder is with my very own tea blend on adagio.com! I made a blend of tea based on descriptions of wines that Gary has tasted on WLTV. If you want to buy some, or just take a look, check out http://www.adagio.com/signature_blend/blend.html?blend=532

    Good luck spreading the thunder everybody!

    Much love

    I am spreading the thunder by listing winelibrarytv.com as my favorite website on my blackplanet.com page.

    Okay GV and friends (love ya Mot) here’s what I got. I am a server/bartender/ have a window cleaning business on the side. So to all of my window cleaning store front regulars that enjoy wine and to new-be wine drinkers that I meet nightly at work, I hand out business cards with wine library tv info. I also sent the “What GV and wine library tv is all about” epsd to my entire email list.

    That’s it. That’s all. A very small token of appreciation from a new Vayniak.

    I sent this email out Saturday morning to everyone on my list at work. That’s over 500 wine peeps. That should “bring some thunder”!

    Hello fellow wine lovers. For the past five months I’ve been watching a wine show on the internet that I have to tell you about. The show is called Wine Library TV, hosted by Gary Vaynerchuck. Gary and his father own Wine Library, a large wine shop in New Jersey. Monday through Friday Gary spends about 20 minutes tasting through several wines and telling us about them. He is very entertaining and provides a lot of good wine knowledge. I’ve never been one to sit at the computer for too long but this show is infectious and a must see for all wine lovers. The show started in 2006and this coming Monday will be the 400th episode! If you have a chance this weekend, watch through a couple of the recent episodes and be sure to tune in Monday evening (usually posts around 6pm) for the 400th episode. If you are interested in learning more about wine or just want to have more fun with your wine, you have to watch this show.

    On a related note, I have started my own wine blog. I will be posting my own wine reviews as often as possible, with the goal of doing it daily. When possible I am including industry ratings as well. Below are two links; one to Wine Library TV and the other my website. If the links don’t work, just copy and paste them into your browsers address bar. Enjoy.

    Hi Gary! I stumbled across WLTV aka The Thunder Show while searching for new podcasts in iTunes in about October 2007.
    1) By November 2007, I could talk about nothing else. I annoyed my boyfriend by wanting to watch not only that day’s episode every night, but by wanting to watch the entire archive (by December 2007, my enthusiasm finally snagged him and now he’s hooked, too).
    2) I told all my law school friends about the show, especially the ones who are into wine at least a little bit. Then I discovered that you were on facebook. I friended you up, joined the “Ask Gary” app, and put the “Spread the Thunder” application on my profile page, sending invitations to people as long as it worked (which, by the way, it doesn’t all the time).
    3) I also currently have as my status: Carly is spreading the Thunder: go to http://tv.winelibrary.com. I will be leaving that up for a while.
    4) I currently write a blog, which I have had for 2 or 3 years, but which I hadn’t been using until your widget contest. I put your widgets up on my page (they’re still there), then thought…duh! I should write in my blog! So now, thanks to you, I have been regularly updating my blog about wine, food, baking, cooking, restaurants, and general new life experiences. Check it out at http://bringtoaboil.blogspot.com! I also have mentioned you (and plugged you) in many blog entries. If you need the exact one, please let me know. Right now, my readership is not very widespread, but I’m constantly trying to get people to read my blog.
    5) I will post a link to Wine Library TV in my gchat status (an instant messaging service) to get everyone on my gmail contact list to check it out (a common thing in my circle of friends!).

    Thank you for everything Gary. Whether this contest existed or not, I’d still be spreading the Thunder. You are too inspiring to keep to myself.

    Hey Gary, this is my second bring the thunder email, this one is fairly weak but hopefully it will get a second name in the box. I emailed Jay Mcdonald, the owner of EIEIO winery your the link where you tasted his wine. Some what quirky but very cool guy. Some of his other Pinots are awesome. He will clearly spread the thunder of your show since you liked his wine. So, maybe a name in the box by proxy??

    Hey Gary!
    I just stumbled upon your show 4 days ago on an internet search for info on beer,(great show by the way episode #236!) which as of late has caught my interest over the juice. I’m not sure why I’d been losing interest in wine, but watching your show the last few days and some of the archived episode’s, has really helped rekindle my interest in wine, so BIG UPS man! I’ve been spreading the thunder at the restaurant where I work in San Francisco to all the staff including the Somme’s and just about anyone who will listen. We have a weekly wine class every Friday so I made sure to tell everyone to check it out, especially the uninitiated. I also hit up itunes with a glowing review of which I meant every word.
    p.s. I also friended you up on myspace but no add yet. What gives?

    YO, GV, if we keep spreading the thunder we can keep getting our name in the draw, right!

    I sell little hard to find Hello Kitty items and other Japanese novelty items on ebay and have started to put “Spread the Thunder: Watch tv.winelibrary.com” slips along with letters of appreciation to our customers in the shipments. So we’re spreading the thunder in America, Taiwan, Korea, all over the glizzobe.

    Thunder! I spread some Thunder by commenting on itunes. I also shared ipod episodes with curious fellow passengers on the ferry. Our 1200-passenger boat is broken and they have us crammed onto a couple of 149-person boats. Great way to meet your neighbors, and now some of them are thundering too.

    Oh yeah, last night I ordered an “adult beverage” from the galley while tuning in. That means I had an airplane size bottle of Turning Leaf served complete with a plastic cup full of ice….

    I spread the thunder with my family & friends! My Brother-in_law actually is just a 1/2 hour from your store and now shops there frequently! don’t know if I have the time for a dinner…got my own business to run, but the wrist bands would be HUGE!

    Hi Gary, this is probably pretty redundant, but I am wearing the schwag at every opportunity, and have my sister and her husband on board for Friday wine tastings at our house. I am grateful or you show :)

    Well, that was easy! I emailed all my friends and asked them to watch Friday’s episode for a great recommendation on New York Gewurz and see a hot chick in a Sabres jersey.

    I also held a palate training class at the coop last week, very similar technique to yours, my grocery list and homework for the students is here:

    I am in the wine business as a sales associate and I spread the thunder by wearing my wristband, and telling almost everyone I sell wine to log on and don’t lurk. Get involved with wine expand your palate try new stuff, you might actually enjoy it. Boom the next you know the bolt comes down and strikes you good, and your out of Cali winedom. My passion is what drives me and GV is the best reinforcer of said passion. Changing the wine world one bottle at a time.

    I’ve long been encouraging my friends to watch the show, but as part of the contest I’ve tried to take it a step farther and have been challenging friends to games of Scrabble on Facebook. If I win, they have to watch an episode of my choosing of Wine Library TV, and if they win, I buy them a bottle of wine and we split it…win-win.

    I watch WinelibraryTV on my ipod. People ask “whats so interesting”.I respond, “Just the Best Show on the net!”. It grows from there.
