We certainly hope you all enjoy the show. And remember, people, that no matter who you are and what you do to live, thrive and survive, there’re still some things that makes us all the same. You. Me. Them. Everybody. Everybody.
People, when you do find that special somebody, you gotta hold that man, hold that woman! Love him, please him, squeeze her, please her! Signify your feelings with every gentle caress, because it’s so important to have that special somebody to hold, to kiss, to miss, to squeeze, and please!

Look who’s talking ‘garyv’ — if that IS your real name.

Gary-
Finally, ive been looking for this episode and you delivered! Gary, what do you consider a grower champagne? Is it any champagne that is not the widely marketed ones as you suggest? Is it single-vineyard champagnes? just wondering. sorry if this was asked above but there are way too many comments to read.
QOD: ive only had the big-name champagnes, so now i have to change that!
Cool ad in the NYTimes today. Too bad there was no wine column.
thanks again for all that you do. Forget the vloggies, Gary Vaynerchuk for N.J. Senate!

I can’t wait to explain to my kids about sporting records and why there is a star next to them!

No Amphibeous Vehicles…
Not the story of Ford and Hitler…

Think about the conversation

Hey Gary got a question. Do you think that Wine Spectator got tipped off that you were going to place an add in the NYT? Maybe that is why they placed a 2 page giant color add on the page right before yours announcing their 2 week “free access” period. Do you think they are getting worried about WLTV’s success???

BrandonM…I am stumped…I need more hints please.

Remember I am the King of Stupid Kingdumb!

OK…now I KNOW that WS got tipped off. Look at the pic on the top left page of “Wine Spectator Online”. What do you see under “Tasting Highlights”….BARBARESCO. Look at your add dead center…”Episode 85 BARBBARESCO”. What the heck are the chances of THAT!!!! GARY I SMELL TIP-OFF….BIG TIME

1st?

TampaSteve…I doubt WS is worried about WLTV…not that WLTV is not the most important thing EVER!
I did happen to notice the HUGE full page ads at the end of the food section from other wine stores…but they mean nothing to me here in Atlanta.

TimF…that was the best post I have ever seen!!! My eyes are watering with laughter!

BrandonM…
General Motors produced vast quantities of armaments, vehicles and even aircraft during World War II, and also had sizeable interests in Nazi Germany. During the war, the U.S auto companies were concerned that the Nazis would nationalize American owned factories in Germany. In the spring of 1939, the Nazis had assumed day to day control of American owned factories in Germany, but decided against nationalizing them. GM’s William P. Knudson served as head of U.S. wartime production for President Franklin Roosevelt who had referred to Detroit as the Arsenal of Democracy. Today, Detroit is the headquarters for the U.S. Army Tank-Automotive and Armaments Command, known as TACOM.

I am reaching now!!!

Oh, and for the Big-Name Champagnes vs. Grower Champagnes taste-off, I am assuming you will taste the wines blind?

MarcT, I still say TIP-OFF. Why would WS spend HUGE HUGE bucs (or as Gary would say…BONES) to run an add today that advertises a free access period from Oct. 16 to Oct. 31. Heck today is the 25th already. Spending HUGE HUGE money to run an add that is already 10 days into it’s 14 day target period. Something just doesn’t make sense with that, other than TIP-OFF.
