TONY, Thanks for compiling…I nominate you to be in charge of keeping a running list (with the episode# & wine in parentheses as you did). You should post it on a semi-regular basis for all of us regulars AND to bring the newbies up to speed. What do you say?

I like your name change….I didn’t luv VaynerEHH…VaynerSHRUG is much better

You forgot MaryS’s VaynerSCOWL!!

I second the nomination for Tony….can anyone say spread sheet #2?

B

Everyone…maybe I missed it, but whats the VaynerCLANK?
I’ve watched the episodes that everone is talking about and I’m not seeing it…please explain.

BrandonM…it is the knock of his teeth after he spits a “pass wine”

Vayneophiles gets my vote!!! That is perfect…now lets see how many people know how to pronounce “oenophile”
1st poster to spell it phonetically wins!

Brandon, SSChris posted this explanation yesterday:
#3-The VaynerCLANK (this ususally comes after a VaynerSHAKEâ??the SHAKE happens before he spits, and then after he spits, he CLANKS his teeth together multiple timesâ??this means he REEEALLY doesnâ??t approveâ??watch #99 again with the SILVER OAK and youâ??ll see a mini-CLANK)

It’s a VanderClassic move.

I accept the nomination. It may take me a little while to compile all the Vaynerisms, but I’ll try to make some time to work on it this weekend!

Thanks guys!

VanderClassic-VanerClassic….haven’t had my wine yet…lolol

Only 2 hrs to go….time to start the decant!

First Vaynerism of all time was in episode #1 (yep, I’m starting at the beginning). 2001 Verite Le Desir: A solid Vaynerglug about 3/4 the way into the ep.

It looks like Vaneophile is the winner.

I would like to nominate a slight, but I feel, important TWEAK to that….how ’bout VaynerPHILE?

I suggest that it REQUIRES the “Vayner” as the prefix…more in line w/the others: VaynerNOD, VaynerCLANK,etc. etc. You can’t eliminate the “R”.

We’re all VaynerPHILE’s…..what do you think??? VOTE AWAY!!!!

TONY, that’s great. If you can keep a running list of the Vaynerism’s from everybody, and send me that list from time to time, I will update the WEB SS (you still have my email address..right?). I will add it as the first word in the “Tasting Notes”. This is AWESOME!!

Hold on, I’ll be right back….

OK, I just went in and updated the SS: Ep #1 w/ the VAYNERGLUG and Ep #63 w/ VAYNERCLANK(3).

Do you ask what the 3 in parentheses is? I went back an looked at Ep #63. This particular VAYNERCLANK is made up of a 3-CLANK (3 teeth chops), so I added the 3…for the CLANK I will add the number after…kind of like rating Hurricanes (i.e. Category 5) or Richter scale.

Let’s call it the CLANKMETER. So this one scored a 3 on the CLANKMETER!

Whomever discovers a CLANK, please provide TONY with: Episode #, Wine Name, & CLANKMETER #

So, the TASK for ALL VAYNERPHILES: go find all Vaynerism’s and report back to Tony!!!!!!!

I don’t like Vaynerphile. That’s just a bit too culty and weird. Personally, I think Vaynerhead is better – and I HATE that. I have to give Vaynerphile a big pazzzzz.

I think we need more heads (no pun intended) to come up with more options. I’m not good with naming, so though I wish I could come up with something, it’s unlikely it would be any good.

VaynerADDICT is probably the most descriptive for all of us going into withdrawls.

BTW, great treatment for withdrawl symptions: go back and watch the older episodes. I’ve been going through them from the beginning today, and it’s just exactly like getting a bunch of new episodes. The first episode I ever watched was #8, and I’ve seen them all at least once, but it’s been so long for so many of them that it’s like watching them for the first time now. Guaranteed to relieve withdrawl symptoms.

I second a big pazzzzzzzzz on Vaynerphile.

SS Chris, here’s the format that I’m collecting info in:

Episode Date Wine Vaynerism Location in Ep
9 7-Mar 2003 Hess Select Cab Sauv Clank(4) 0.65

The need to approximate location in the episode as a time marker. I’m putting it as a fraction of the whole episode, so .65 equals about 65% of the way through the episode. I just guessimate off the marker in the Quicktime player.

BTW, that Hess Select was the first Vaynerclank and first VaynerCRACK (where he cracks his knuckles when he’s about to pan a wine), and the second VaynerSMACK (where he thoughtfully smacks his lips – usually not approvingly – several times). I’m open to suggestions on the naming of the VaynerCRACK.

We also need to have some consistency in naming and definitions of Vaynerisms, just so that we don’t have a name for every little thing Gary does. This is weird and creepy enough without getting too obsessive. Gary’s a very expressive guy, and we should try to limit it to unusual, entertaining and unique expressions that Gary displays when tasting wines.

I’ll post a starter list of suggested Vaynerisms later.

That didn’t come out formatted well!

OK…
Episode: 9
Date: Mar 7
Wine: 2003 Hess Select Cab Sauv
Vaynerism: Clank(4)
Location: .65

howabout these:

VaynerSNOBS…VaynerGEEKS….VaynerDRUNKS….jk

Tony…Really? I didn’t think it was wierd, it follows the term oenophile, so I thought it would be a great fit. I personally don’t think VaynerCRAT is all that bad either. I kinda like the terms that make people say…”What the heck is that?”

Thoughts, Comments?

I’m thinking the T-shirt looks somthing like this…

All the Vaynerisms in smaller type leading up to the vaynerWHATEVERITSCALLED in bigget font size.
Then on the back we put something like….Have you been VaynerchukED today?

Oh man….I’m taking this WAAAY to far.
