Plan? How not to get too buzzed on vino and still wake up for work in the am.

Great job Gary! QOTD: Watch the Jets win a SuperBowl!

Gary,

Great show. Nice selection of well priced wines.

How about a T-shirt with the oak monster pounding you with a bottle of Cali Chardonnay? (That way you can claim that everyone bought it because YOU were on it!)

QOTD: Sauv blanc tonight – Matua Paratei; Sancerre tomorrow – Alphonse Mallot; Reisling on Sunday. Any more thoughts on the “rat out a lurker” segment? It would be a fun way to give away those “unpopular” Gary Vaynerchuk T-shirts! (Just kidding.)

So i’m sorry i’ve been lurking the last month or so. but great show. So just wondering did you drop chone figgins? He was struggling after you picked him up but he’s been tearing it up. (Angels fan and watching the dodgers angels game right nwo)

Great episode again! I fall into teh trap of sticking with NZ SB when I drink white, thanks for reminding me to consider the Reisling. QOTD- stay safe from the oak monster, check the car for my knife in case I hit that deer, then a nice jog through that tropical fruit jungle…

I love how Gary can smell how the pear was sliced “beautifully sliced baby pear”

QOTD: Don’t know. Was just thinking about it. Pinot Noir maybe? Although the riesling episode is tempting me…

The last bottle was exceptional and only scored a 90? Is that a price thing? Riesling has always been my favorite white grape and i’ve gotten a lot of grief for it. I’ve always contended that it has the best balance of sweetness, minerality, crispness, and complexity. I wish you would have thrown in one from Washington, I think they are making some of the best qpr rieslings in the world.

Gary…long time no drrrrrrrrrrrrrrrop! (intergalatic planatary) NEWAYZ, love the episode, I am happy to see you have not changed and still up to your ways on telling it like it is. So…here’s the plan…as a “somm”, drinking wine can be equally as fun as much as it is work….so for those days (many) when work becomes play and you still need to rise to the plate like Bond’s on Flax Seed Oil (yah Right)…drink 1 glass of water and take 2 Tylenol PM’s….no hangover! And you can still rise for Sunday Morning football! Later! DomTheSomm from sunny CALI!!!

Great show! It’s nice to see ya back on the Friday couch. Thanks for the walk down memory lane with the quotes from the T-Shirts. I remember them all and especially the description of Razon. That wine kicked some serious butt and only $8. I need some more!

QOTD: It’s God’s plan Man!

Smith MBA you cracked me up!

The A-TEAM ROCKS

QOTD: Plan? I dunno about you, but my plan is to drink some yummy wine! =)

P.S. – what’s with the one sleeve pushed(not rolled) up? Is that your omage to LL Cool J without having to show off your legs? ;]

My .02; More people should check out the Henry Rollins show, that man is bringing a little truth to America IMO.

QOTD: My plan is to make enough money to buy a farm and retire in the country.

QOTD:Plan…..Expand your store into the LA Market, so you can have east cost and west coast distribution. Then sit back a cork one.

QOTD: The Plan? My plan? Continue working at my restaurant in Boston, using you as inspiration when recommending wines to my customers every night, until the end of June, then home to RI for the 4th of July (it’s huge in my home town- oldest parade in the country), see dome friends and family, then fly out to LA for (a long time) to work in TV and hopefully start a productive, exciting, and possibly lucrative career… and I’m sure there’ll be room for WLTV every night when I’m there as well– OH and maybe (unlike Massachusetts) I’ll actually be able to take advantage of some of WL’s amazing sales!!

WAIT: What’s THE PLAN for BIG G??!

QOTD: The plan is complete. The plan is approved. The plan is alive and well. The plan is simple. The plan is easy to follow. The plan is innovative. The plan is meaningless. The plan is working.

the plan is expand your store to mexico!! that would be cool haha
i would love a t shirt! and a wrist band!! but unfortunately im too far from NJ
so maybe this summer or someday i will go and buy one!!
i need one!!
nice episode!

QOTD: The Plan ? Trying to figure out how to WATCH back episodes of WLTV. Ever since the switch to cork’d all I get is audio with no video on the older episodes (old format). How can I SEE and hear the older episodes ?

Good episode QOTD… keep watching and giving my 2 cents untill you no longer ask for it. And spreading the word and hopefully growing the vaynernation..because with us and a little piece of you we’d be,well you get the picture..later

The plan is leaving for Paris tonight to move in with my girlfriend, THAT is what the freakin’ plan is!!! Can’t wait to discover even more of the Ville Lumière and hope to see GV pop up there sometime!

Good Riesling kills, I used not to like the grape until you really pushed it and until I had the chance to taste some proper bottlings of top German rieslings which really humbled me…

Greetings Mr V!

Question of the Day: Plan? hmmm…. my biggest plan currently is building up a nice cellar for the future, with a strong backbone of 2005 Bordeaux. The IRA can wait a few more years!

Hey GV
I have to admit, I was one of those wine newbies 3 years ago who thought Rieslings were just some sweet wine. Now I love ’em, they usually make the dinner table once a week when we make Indian food.

QOTD: The plan – I am debating at this moment whether or not to get philosophical on this question or not. I’ll go not for now. So in about 30 minutes I am heading for a 40 mile road bike ride, then going to Brunch for my wifes B-DAY, then going to a reception for my sisters wedding which is part deux from the actual wedding we went to in Key West 2 weeks ago, then tomorrow is part uno of my sister in laws wedding extravaganza, which is the Virginia wedding followed by the wedding in Italy 2 weeks from now. BUSY BUSY!!
Thanks again to you and Tom C for the heads up on some wineries to visit while I am in Piemonte.

J DUB

Here’s a suggestion Gary: some of those really nerdy experts you refer to Jancis Robinson, Hugh Johnson, etc. seriously rave about Riesling, and I am trying to get into this wine myself. But, and without further knocking your self confidence, they all pronounce Riesling with a soft ssssss: now me I have always ZZZed it, but I guess we can all learn — just thing ‘Reece Witherspoon’ and then you too can be a nerd!!

Great ep BTW.

QOTD: The plan is to have Francis fix the t-shirt contest so we can live it large out in California.

QOTD: Hmmmm The Plan. The plan is to enjoy life, hang with good people, drink good wine, eat good food. Life is GOOD! 🙂

I had the 2004 Domaine Schoffit Riesling Harth Tradition last week! When i was drinking it, I felt like I had stuck a straw right inside a pineapple. I was more on the 89/90 fence on that one though.
