    QOTD # 2:
    â??Rainbow Brite,â? introduced by Hallmark in 1984, was young Gary Vaynerchukâ??s favorite animated TV series. In 1985, the animated feature-length film, â??Rainbow Brite and the Star Stealerâ? was released, and to this day remains Garyâ??s favorite motion picture of all time.

    While other boys of his age were collecting â??Star Warsâ? Action Figures, little Gary was quietly amassing one of the largest collections of Rainbow Brite dolls and figurines in the Eastern United States.
    A little-known fact is that he never sold his collection, and it is currently stored in a locked, temperature-controlled vault on the basement level of the Wine Library.

    A guided tour will show that all of his favorites are there â?? the good guys: Rainbow Brite, Starlite, Tickled Pink, Baby Brite, Sunriser and Moonglow; as well as the villains: Murky Dismal, Lurky, The Dark Princess and Count Blogg.

    Garyâ??s â??Rainbow Briteâ? obsession caused him no end of difficulties as he grew. He endured a great deal of pain and embarrassment at the hands of his classmates who didnâ??t â?? or wouldnâ??t â?? understand.

    But in his senior year of high school, he literally stumbled onto his salvation: he found that when he concealed his his deep-seated love of â??Rainbow Briteâ? behind a macho, bravado facade as the New York Jetsâ?? greatest, most passionate fan â?? his whole life changed. Enemies became friends once more, and he was no longer an outcast. His popularity grew, girls found him irresistibly attractive, and his sexual proclivities were never again thrown into question.

    Gary has been happily leading this double life for nearly 15 years – to all outward appearances the ultimate Jets fan; to those who know him best, the devoted keeper of the â??Rainbow Briteâ? flame.

    If you want to become one of Garyâ??s extra-special friends, the next time you meet him, and he gives you a firm hand-shake, pull him close and whisper â??Rainbow Briteâ? in his ear. I guarantee you, his eyes will light up and his smile will broaden, because those code words mean that heâ??s found a kindred soul, someone who knows the real — Gary Vaynercuhuk.

    I wish I could do my hair like that. Anyway, I’m a huge fan of Carignan so hearing about these wines is a welcomed relief.

    QOTD #1: I’m going to try and do something this weekend while wearing my Vayniac wristband! Thank you

    QOTD #2: Huh? I have no clue what “Rainbow Bright” refers to.

    Cheers!

    P.S. Here’s a nice restaurant not far from work that features the wines and cuisine of the ‘Doc.

    Every time I see a wine from the Languedoc region, I always think of the movie Mondovino. They had a lot of info on the Languedoc in that film.

    QOTD #2: I think of the little furry creatures w/ stars on their antennae. They were called “Sprites” and were in the cartoon w/ Rainbow Brite. Yes, not gonna lie, I watched that cartoon as a kid.

    THIS is why WLTV is where it’s at! South Park-WLTV parody, Woman wanting us to vote for her to take her shirt off (even though there was a ring on that finger), Rainbow Brite, Straightforward opinion about good AND bad stuff. Can we really ask for more? Well, yeah. We can. But we’ve got to like this.

    QTOD Part Duex: ‘Tiny, damn pegs!’ as said by my father. Thanks for the trip to the 80s.

    PS – Don’t drink the water in a snow globe. That’s a dumb idea. That can’t be good for your health.

  • Autumnfox

    Nice show Gary….wacky with wacky hair!
    QOTD#1: I teach all 7 days…would you still call my ass a lazy one?
    QOTD#2: I just got an image(no words) of Rainbow Brite-the girl in a short dress with sneakers and rainbow leg warmers(makes it look like moon boots). It was a cartoon, right? And one of her friends was a white fluffy hairball…from the 80s! I remember, I remember….a loaf of bread, quart of milk, and a stick of butter…I remember!

  • jason carey

    gary thanks for The Languedocian episode. I am a huge fan, and just when they were starting
    to get popular a few years ago, the double whammy of Cheap Spanish and Aussie wines and the low dollar kind of
    killed the momentum. They are some of the best “real” wines you can get in the price range. And remember that that 20 dollar wine would only be 14 dollars if the Euro had not gone up so much,, alas.

    QOTD1: Although laziness and lack of materials are factors in my decision not to participate in the contest, it’s really the terrifying thought of cooking a nice dinner for ten people in my tiny one-bedroom apartment. Dining room? What?

    QOTD2: The lovely combo of purple and orange, and mystery-fruit flavored lip glosses for little kids.

    Q#1 I’m still thinkin about it.
    Q#2 What the hell…All I can think of is Lite Brite.

    Gary, are you stuck on Kansas now. I heard the fiddle solo from Dust in the Wind twice during the episode. I approve…(I’m a violin maker)

    Local wine shop has a lot of wines form this area and have usually passed them up. I’ll start checking them out.

    Was it the hair or the wine? Did the french do something to Gary when he went to Bordeaux? The stat: 700 French acres outproducing 560,000 USA acres in 2001? Is anybody paying attention here? or are we just going to believe GV sine dubium. No wonder camera rolled his eyes. Loved this show but Gary, brother, you’re busted!

    One square mile equals
    258.9988 hectares
    2.59 square kilometers
    640 acres
    .75512 square nautical mile

    Of course you meant 700,000 acres, hectares whatever. Thanks for the show!!!

    What the sign in the background should have read was… “Sad day for the Jets – 9/16 when the Ravens win by three touchdowns (maybe more).” See you in Baltimore, Gary. Just curious, what are we wadgering on the game? I say if the Ravens win, I get to be your guest on WLTV. If you win… wait, that’s impossible.

  • GottaGoDrink

    QOTD- We all know BV#53 is right, but rainbow bright also refers to someone who gets smarter when it rains. Like “street smart” but wetter-er-er.

    Gary- the 2nd wine I ever bought from WL was a Languedoc, Ch. Roumanieres 2001- good stuff!
