    I ordered a few of the black chook a couple of weeks ago when they first came in. (I feel so ahead of the time!) and hey, not afraid to say it, we liked it! A bunch! Very different. I’m guessing I’m gonna love the Majella, but alas, it’s already sold out. Shiraz/Syrah, love it! Great episode.

  • Re comment #28 by carnyc: Do NOT drink and dive, Carny! 😉 Hit the Reef, and afterwards enjoy some of the great Aussie wines.

    Sparkling shiraz? Who knew? I’m going to have to seek this out. But Gary, you are such a tease! You give this huge review that has me slobbering all over my keyboard, and then you are sold out?!?!

    Anyway, something new for me to try. I don’t think I’ve ever had a sparkling red, and I love shiraz/syrah. I’ll try to find it here and “give it a whirl.”

    QOTD, trying as many wines as I can on a limited budget and trying to learn more about wine. Thanks WLTV!

    Gary, just wanted to “de-lurk” and let you know that watching WLTV is a great part of my day. It never fails to make me smile. Thank you!

  • Vaynerchuk, you are fired on rating a ‘brown paper bag flavor’ 87 points! Crappo is not ‘very good’…c’mon, be a man and slap a 76 on that bad boy!
    Have yet to find a sparkling shiraz that made me realize tannins and fizz can intermingle; but I haven’t exactly tried that hard either 😉
    My thing- Cleveland Cavaliers….seein’ that I’m getting married to an Ohio proud native, it has to be my thing- or else I’ll be couch bound.

    very much into Syrah, Shiraz latley..had a bottle of Water Wheel last night and enjoyed it.

    QOTD:

    1. Food/Wine – Been grilling a lot latley, my Wife bought me a new grill for my birthday and just loving it. Cooking in our remodeled kitchen and hanging with my Wife enjoying each other, the food and of course the wine!!
    2. WLTV – been my thing for a year now…:)
    3. Chicago WLTV Party 04/20 – really looking forward to it!!
    4. Spring (if it ever warms up again) and getting our boat out of storage and into the water!!!

    GV – early in the episode you said you were “cocked”…I would be careful after the Marlboro Man reference and the great comment post from last episode by Kahuna!! That was funny, you should get that framed!

    Wow, strangely enough I bought a bottle of the Black Chook last Friday at WL and opened it last night for a special occasion (it being a sparkler). I think I liked it better than GV. Really interesting stuff.

    It’s funny that someone sent in a painting today. My “thing” is art. Maybe it’s time to do a Vayner-portrait of that goofy photo of you that comes up on Google image search. That thing cracks me up!

    Good episode. Awful shirt. You keep wearing stuff like that and we’ll have to call you Gary GAY-ner-chuk! Your wife must be out of town. No way she would let you leave the house like that!

    Nice episode- I’ll have to try that last wine. I think it’ll also make a nice B’Day present for my Sis. My thing: Being here now and enjoying the beauty of life.

    Gary, the next time someone asks what you would recommend to drink with a traditional (sage dressing) Thanksgiving turkey dinner, you know have an additional answer: Sparkling Shiraz!

    Tried a sparkling shiraz for the fist time a couple years ago at Thanksgiving dinner. One of our good friends dated a guy who was from Australia and his parents were still nice enough to mail a lot of wine his way. Needless to say, it was delicious!!

  • We are big fans of sparkling Shiraz and typically drink Rumball here. I will have to try 3 bottle of the Majella. Sounds great and the price is OK.

    My thing is WLTV and trying to not work as much.
