      I can’t believe how quiet and well-behaved Gary was in the earlier episodes.

      What a monster we’ve created here.

      I hope we’re not back to “Sweet” Wines…No I think there is a SEX theme in there somewhere.
      But yes, You were “Dull” and “Boring” in the early Episodes…I guess you have “Aged” in your video maturity…Are you back next week???

      Dang, you really were subdued back then comparitively. I’m glad you found your voice . . . and if that requires a vacation to sustain, then hey – – how can I complain about getting something for nothing, and then getting nothing for nothing thereafter?

      How funny is this? I JUST watched this episode the other day because I needed a white wine to round out my case (I’ve been batting 0 trying to get some of the wines I want because they’re all sold out). Anyway…it’s great to go back and watch old episodes.

      Gary, I wouldn’t say you were boring back then. Well…yes you were 😀

      I’m envious of you. I could use a vacation in a sunny place. Enjoy!

      I still haven’t hosted my own wine tasting party, but it’s coming!

      This is one of the few early episodes I have watched. But I’m glad you replayed it because I’m really interested in the whites you tasted.

      Hope your vacation is going well! (Does Florida have any vineyards?!?)

      Gary-
      My – My – My –
      how the episodes have CHANGED!
      That was the temporary spit bucket.
      Hum…
      Glad to see the VaynerJET is still bringing you back and forth each day!
      Seriously, not sure when you found time to tape all of these great eps before you left.
      Glad you taped them!!
      Subdued and subtle.
      Somehow, I don’t think that is the REAL Gary!
      Hope the VaynerJET brings you back to Springfield soon!
      We have not had many days recently with any sun here in North Carolina.
      Looking forward to new semi-live eps soon!
      🙂

    • Great look at early WLTV. This reminds me of those flashback episodes of sitcoms in the 70’s. You know, where they weren’t feeling like preparing a whole new episode, so they would just sit around in the kitchen and say, “Remember when Bobby lit the dog on fire?” or whatever. Then they would laugh, and the screen would melt away to that old flaming-dog scene. 5 or 6 flashbacks edited together, and you’ve filled a half hour.

      Geez, I just can’t figure out what the underlying theme is here…

      I like the early eps just to see how WLTV has evolved, but I miss the wine scores.
      Have a great weekend, all!!!

      At the 5:27 mark, Gary places a finger into his left ear, thereby enhancing his olfactory sense. Apparently, it’s an acupressure technique. Aye, he’s a crafty one, this Vaynerchuk…

    • Dominus

      Obviously a “sexy” theme that would get quite a few people chuckling, as I have with Menage a Trois wines and the surprising fact is these wines are not bad at all. Gary featured The Other white just a few weeks ago which I bought and I was pleasantly surprised.

      Hope you had fun in Fla. Too bad you can’t stay longer to see the Colts spanks the Bears.

      I’m having a glass of the Hovel right now. Great stuff.

      TGIF

      Cheers!

      Apparently Gary- your bringin’ sexy back

      Hopefully this is no nod to Justin Timberlake, as his current releases are in no way superior to his boy band days. Lets not discriminate. Nobody wore highlights and mini-perms like JT.

      The two “Other” wines sell like crazy at my two shops. Pierano in general seems to sell really well.

      Happy vaca micky ficky

      Hadn’t seen this episode, and loved it as well. For all of you, another fun fact. ‘Folie A Deux’ is a psychiatric diagnosis. It is when, in a couple situation, partner #1 has a serious mental illness, and partner #2 in the relationship, takes on characteristics of partner #1’s mental illness. Interesting to name a wine as such…
