The CNBC interview was great..it was nice to see you with your Dad!

To the skeptical not-quite-Vayniacs out there…

Gary V says:

“Drink what you like”
“Educate your palate – try different things”
“You can get a great wine at under $10 and a terrible wine at $100”
“Wine is fun!”

Does this sound like someone who is only trying to sell wine? If you watched the CNBC piece, do you think someone with that kind of success NEEDS to do WLTV to sell something? Have you ever looked at Chris Stan’s Spreadsheet and noticed how many wines that were beiong sold at Wine Library that Gary trashed? C’mon! And beyond that, I cannot even tell you how many times I have e-mailed Gary with a question and he has answered me personally or how many times he has given me personal advice on wines based on my likes and dislikes. Hail VAYNERCHUK!

I don’t think Gary needs defending but I didn’t really like the CNBC interview either but they are about sales and money and not terroir so be it. Gary has panned wines that he has described as his stores biggest sellers and praised wines that were sold out so he can sell, great, that is what he is supposed to do and he has trained himself to do. This video blog is still one of the most informative in the wine world today and thanks for every episode. By the way we here in Virginia Beach enjoyed tasting the six pack with you.

Just looked at the CNBC clip again, I saw it live and was very proud to have watched winetv before you became a big shot! It’s awesome to see someone make it big. The greatest part is your family just recently came to the US. This just shows why the U.S. must be more open to immigrants! If we would open our hearts and minds to the diversity of the world the U.S. would be an even greater place then it is today. Again, congratulations on getting the CNBC segment, I won’t be surprised to see you on other shows in the future. How about a Wine TV show on the food network?!? How cool would that be?

Nice pub on CNBC. Just make sure you and your dad give us the first crack at the IPO when you go public. Boooyah!!!!!!!!

Gary– Congrats on the CNBC spot. That’s great. You and your Dad and your business deserve the recognition. You are an absolutely adorable dork.

BTW, I am officially giving up on my stank-rank Carolina Panthers (6-4 a month ago and cruising their way to a wild-card, now scrambling for tee times in early January) and becoming a Jets fan.

Another fine episode, too bad I wasn’t more proactive and joined the tasting. Nonetheless, I appreciate the breadth of the experience that you presented. A token chardonnay, some great QPR reds and some quality but reasonable old worlders. Kudos !!!

OMG, I luv you. Wish I had this idea first!

Yo Gary,

You’ve done some funny things, but the lunch box!!.. I’m still LOL ROTF PIMP!!!

The CNBC spot was great. Wow! How many million a year? Once upon a time I used to shop at a wine shop called “The Wine House” in Los Angeles. I thought it was pretty good while I lived there. When I moved to New Jersey I would long for my trips back to LA to get my favorites. Not anymore.

Another great episode. If one thing I have gotten from wine tv is Garyv is most likely the same guy on WINETV as off a GOOD GUY. That said, watched an episode from the “competition” Winetastetv it is very funny if you remember the skits done on saturday night live the 2 girls doing a PBS radio call in show this woman is so sedate and then after tasting a wine she exclaims this is “very sexy oh can I say that oh my it smells sexy like a man who has just run a mile not 4 miles but a mile so sexy I truly think she had an oh I won’t be crude it is hilarious it is pure comic relief not intentionaly though got to give it a watch for entertainment value. Keep up the good work Gary and company ruly appreciate it. MIKE P

I made it through the first wine tasted on your so called “competition”. She might as well change her sweater and shoes right before the tasting begins ala Fred Rogers. Oy!! Competition?? Pahlease go and look up the definiton of the word as I fear you may be confused.

Gary-
You entusiasm and genuine attitude ring through in all of your epidsodes. They are enjoyable yet informative to watch, leaving viewers yearning for more! Shazam!

Just watched my 1st episode (#147) and will definitely be watching from now on. Originally from NJ and am still a Jets fan. Have got to get a bucket!Learned of your show from the “LA Times”.

Gary, I was a first time viewer last night because of an article I read in Men’sHealth mag. Just wante to say great show. I don’t know much about the vino, but I do know how to now learn.
Mike.

Good episode, but didn’t really speak to me. This would have been much better if I saw it when it was brand new.

Great episode. I just wish I had gotten in on the 2001 Convento Cappuccini Barolo when it was available, but I did just get a bottle of the 2003 Chateau Sansonnet with free shipping! Thanks!

Thanks for doing the show Gary.
Love that you want requests too cuz I’d like to request a vin jaune episode and one on tasting some of those charbono’s out there.

Have the Sansonnet in this group. Wine is life. http://www.winelx.com
