My wristband finally arrived yesterday. It’s very eye-catching and strangely comfortable. Thank you! The camera is currently on vacation. When I get it back next week I will take and send a pic! Fun episode! Have a marvelous weekend.

OH MY GOD!!!! If I haven’t wasted any of my life so far listening to/watching crap on the internet, I just did, by watching the Diggnation crap… plz don’t EVER send me there again!

For some reason I never got my wristbands either. If they have all gone out I guess some of us fell through the cracks. Can’t send wrist band pics when we never got them, Gary!

yipppeeeeeeeeeee. # 54.
How cool is that?
smell that?
yes, that’s not earth, pebbles and worms.
That’s sarcasm.
Like the idea of watchers picking wines.
entertaining as usual.

QOTD: Uhhh…… I’m going to have to say…. as it said on your sign….
“DRAFT THIS!”
I, sadly, don’t know anything about it. The only draft I’m familiar with is Final Draft, the scriptwriting software, and then also the cool air flowing through my mom’s house in Maine – very draft-y.
Sorry, Vay-Vay — this Q is way out of my scope.
BUT I loved this episode. And the part about the Oak Kangaroo. Fantastic.

QOTD: Mrs. CPD, of course.

Gary, awesome show! I love the Tokaji! First dessert wine I ever had. Was aweeeesome.

Thanks for putting up my photo. For all you Vayniacs wondering which one I was, go to exactly 13:00. I’m Mr. Smiling wristband guy with my hand over my head.

Tonight I opened the 2004 Clos des Soutyeres Coteaux du Languedoc Les Verrieres, which I bought because you recommended it on video. Wow. Seriously brought the thunder. So much so, that it woke the neighbors and set off a few car alarms. (But my toddler slept through it. Go figure.) My thoughts on this baby (as recorded for posterity on Cellartracker.com): Awesome nose of dark cherry, a little blackberry, and underlying hints of dark chocolate and maybe even a minty whiff – very slight. Dig in deep with the nose, and get a layer of wet dog blanket. But in a good way. (A little Brett. makes the French wines, in my opinion.) Integrated attack of cherry, dark berry fruits coated in dark cocoa, and spicy. Great tannins, balanced with the alc. and fruit – make this a very sophisticated $20.00 wine. Super lengthy, rich finish of berries, cherries, and a light lingering spice. Mmm. This one is really doing it for me. Gary V., you were dead-on, buddy. This rocks. I was going to give this 91, then 91+. But forget it. I’m working through the fear, and going 92 on this juice. It has earned it.

Gary, have fun at the draft tomorrow.

Oh and yeah, please go ahead and answer more viewer questions. Sounds good. And how about having viewers send in more photos? It would be fun to see the face of the person, as you’re reading their question.

Best draft: Miller Genuine. (Drank 6 at a party in high school.. Woke up on the shag carpet.)

Veoh winner: cheesewizlonelygirl15? Well, you know why? Because she asked us if we wanted to see her topless. She didn’t even OFFER to go topless. She just ASKED US if we’d want that. And that was enough to tip the horndog scales, I guess. Way to play the Vayniacs, Ms. Processed Cheese Spread. (By the way, Sunny Gault on Veoh has got some super white Chicklets teeth! Dang.)

Finally, … nah, there’s no finally. I just really love this Languedoc that you recommended. I’m going to sleep with my wristband on tonight.

Hi Gary!

I thought I’d ask you if you would be offended being called the “G-Man,” since the New York Football Giants are the “G-Men.”

Also, if I sent in my wristband picture to your e-mail, is it possible it didn’t get to the right place to be featured on today’s show?

I’m not one of the bad people you talked about today! I promise! (what e-mail do I need to send it to?

Thanks,

Garret

Hey, great ep. Gary, freakin’ enthusiastic this time. Love Tokaji. Never had an Eszencia though, it’s so extremely expensive for smby just started workin’.
Hey do that: an ep. for people who just started working. Pick me some wines I can afford to open once a week and some once a year.
C ya.

WOW!!…great Episode..great wines…ReDONKulous energy level

You tasted the Chateau Henye Tokaji for the first time back on Ep. #39….and you gave it 95+ ….pretty damn close….you sure you didn’t sneak a look at the SS before??

AND…that episode was exactly one year ago on 4/27/06…a little freaky!!

Always enjoy the questions (but you should move “Ask WLTV” to the FORUM…you are one stubborn bastard, arent’ you? So much more action over there.)

Best Draft…easy…SS Dede of course!!

I loved the wrist-band clip; especially the Chassid. That kind of suprised me considering the crappy wine they sell at the Kosher store here in Iowa.

QOTD: Insisting to my friend that he should take Amare Stoudemire as his 11th round fantasy basketball pick for Amare’s rookie year. That kid was SICK at the McDonald’s game and dunk contest and apparantly I was the only one who noticed because nobody else wanted to take him right out of high school.

By the way, if anybody is looking for a good party time this time next year, go to Des Moines for the Drake Relays. Kicks Ass! Not only will you get to see Master’s champ Zach Johnson, but a city of 600,000 seems to have 1,000,000 partiers this time of year. Definitely one of those things to see and do before you die.

OK, Gary. No Lurker Bendoni here. I love the episode, but that’s right, But, 60-70 Bones Dog. I don’t get no freakin Expense account. Can we see some 93-97 Wines under 35? QOTD. #54 from New Mexico State. Oh, by the way I hope T. Jones brings his A game for ya, because it’s all about Benson in 2007!

Bring it!

G.

Great, amazing, ridiculously good episode. Bringing the energy.
Thank you. I needn’t say more.

Gary-
Gosh, what can I say!!!
You REALLY have the energy
going on this ep!!!!!
Super EP!
I love this one!!!!
🙂

Wow Gary lot of energy, feeling the flow, working it!!

Nice episode, yes you should do a viewer question on each show, mix it up a little. I am super pscyhed to try a Tokaji now, as I haven’t yet. My next business trip is in August so maybe I can get one then.

Have fun at the draft.

John

ohh, almost forgot

Warriors 1979 CLASSIC, alhtough I was only 2 when it was released I have seen it. CLASSIC, right up there with office space. haha

Later

Best draft pick? The Blackhawks get the number one pick this year. Unfortunately the Blackhawks can ruin any party. And with no clear, top candidate for the number one spot, its a crap shoot. Patrick Kane is posting big numbers but does he have the size to play in the NHL? Voracheck is getting good press but his numbers aren’t as impressive as Kane. And can he transition from playingin Europe to the NHL? Cherpinov is getting good press too but his numbers are poor. True he’s playing in a mens league so there’s more significance to what he has but….still he’s not lighting the place on fire. This will be one of those situations where the first round pick is no more significant than the third or fourth since you can make a case for any of the top 4 or 5 players. This was not the year for the Hawks to get the first pick. But then, that’s the Hawks. They can take lemonade and turn it into lemons.

That was a great impression of me on draft day.

I’ve been waiting for NPR to interview you – well done (but please don’t let Scott Simon host – he has his own gig).

Jon

Warriors–>”Can you digg it?”–>Diggnation–>Digg…Mars reference…planets aligning on this episode.

Pumped up Gary! that was a cool episode. I wrote down the Grand Burge Meshach Shiraz on my little shopping list. I’m embarrassed to have to admit that I’m one of the ones that have not sent my picture with the awesome wrist band. I must, and I will.

Gary-
You are SPONSORING
a
podcast?
VERY cool!!!!!!!!!!
WOW!!!
🙂

Yo Gary! You really are cool! Thanks for the ORE-GUN. Didn’t see you at the d-r-a-f-t with the rest of the j-e-t-s fans.QOD….JAMARCUS RUSSEL BABY. GO RAIDERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DUDE! vayniak nation takin’ over the airwaves! a profile on our very own gary vay-ner-chuk on NPR (KPCC in Pasadena/Los Angeles California) on Saturday, April 28th at 8:45 in da morning! It was awesome! totally cool. but, i see the future…our boy too busy to host wine library tv. fielding calls from radio and tv stations to do commentary on the burgeoning interest of mr. and mrs. america and how to put together the perfect case of wine, too busy to respond to our pathetic and uninspired comments on his brilliantly funny and incisive tasting notes. enjoy our boy while he’s still with us.
