haters gonna hate. let ’em hate.
It’s the cursing I could do without. You are far to intelligent and articulate to use foul language.

    Mudd,,, sry man, but you are coming across as just a little assy… not too bad. I think the letters and comments about “not serious enough”.. For the love of Pete! let him be different. I really like WS and their videos too, but they are who they are and Gary is who he is,,,, He’s giving us some great information, in and entertaining format,, AND IT’S FREE!!!!!

    If you don’t like GVs delivery, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!! for your information, God some of you piss me off!
    Have a good day. 🙂

    Gary. My Man! That was fabulous. Again, way to take the “opinions” with a grain of salt. Much like everything else in life, if you dont like it, dont do it. If you dont want to watch WLTV, then go f-ing scratch. The VaynerNation wants you to keep everything the way it is, which is why we all love this show and the movement you are bringing to the wine world. Keep it up.

    Coincidentally, I dissed a wine snob this weekend. I asked this wine store owner if he watched WLTV. “Oh, is that the guy from Jersey?” “That’s him.” “Oh [sigh] no, I haven’t seen that.” He was clearly pained by the interchange, so I looked around for a second and walked out of the store.

  • Jonathon M Chicago

    YOU ROCK GARY V!!!!!!! BRING THOSE SNOBS ON AND US VANIACS WILL BEAT ‘EM UP, CRUSH THEM AND SPIT OUR WINE OUT ON THEM!!!!!!;-)

    QOTD: Rare leg of lamb, garlic mashed and an El Norte Bodegas.

    I loved hearing that story of the $9.99 bottle of wine that was the “star of the evening.”

    Of course many people aren’t going to like you – the ones who get off on feeling part of an exclusive club of people who know all about premier crus and grand cru wines and find “lesser” wines distasteful will of course dislike the fact that you’re trying to make their world more accessible to people. I say just ignore them. Let them hate the “vulgar” masses. They’re the ones that miss out on the good wines, at the good prices…whether it be a $10 value or a $45 value.

    QOTD – Sancerre, some sushi, and it’s a secret who’s my company at the dinner.

    Barry Bashing? Uncalled for.
    You’re show is entertaining and informative. I like it, but the Barry comment joke or no joke was in bad taste. Thats just my opinion.

    Wave on! Gary V and the Vayniacs will destroy the critics in their towers! But seriously how is bringing the enjoyment of wine down to a level where people aren’t intimidated a bad thing? Gary is doing a great job expanding people’s horizons – EPH – and if you have ever met him know that he is actually quite a humble person in real life. Get him in front of a camera though, and it’s another story. I think the critics are focusing on the delivery and not the message. I find the delivery entertaining.

    Oh yeah and don’t forget WLTV is free and has no advertisements. If you press the play button, you automatically consent to Gary’s house rules which include the love of wine, trying new wine, the love of family and from September forward, the recognition that the NY Jet’s rock Gary’s universe.

    QOTD: The perfect meal would be:

    1.) With my wife, Julie.
    2.) A bottle of decent Bordeaux, let’s say Lynch-Bages.
    3.) Steak Frites or Coq Au Vin with some buttered noodles.

    Forget those fools…..let them think we don’t know $h!t…while they sleep on us we will take over 😉
    QOTD: Duck, Lafite, and my family…what else is there?

  • Paul

    Great show, Gary…not really sure how anyone thinks you’re ruining wine for anyone…in fact if they can let wine be ruined by a show they aren’t even obligated to watch then they should really consider not drinking anything at all. If people enjoy your show, then great, but if people don’t it shouldn’t influence the degree to which they enjoy wine in their private lives. If anything we can be thankful that you’re hear so we have more people to talk about wine with rather than just obsessing over it’s enjoyment by ourselves.

    QOTD: Breast of Duck with red cabbage and cranberries, rosemary sauce over potato pancakes with a young red Burgundy; not much for dessert, but likely a simple beerenauselese with fruit. Company: If I was really gonna suck up I’d say you, but instead I’ll just go with a couple of my closest friends

    gv: awesome show today, man. you actually made me laugh out loud a few times, which means it’s really quality stuff. the ladies bangin’ liquor in the 70’s! gold!

    oh and keep kicking against the pricks!

    qotd: well, let’s go with two scenarios…

    this friday i’ve got a date with my wife at one of the best restaurants in the city. tasting menu, nine courses, wine paired. this could be mind bending. (my b-day present!)

    if i could set up my own? i’d get the gang all in… parents, friends, everybody who means everything to me. and i’d do a massive array of wines and small dishes to sample along with them. like blow a G on wines, cheeses, fruits, meats, pates, the whole friggin’ bit. and i’d crank awesome tunes and we’d hang out. dare to dream. some day it’ll happen though!

    ha. way to stand up for the Vayner-nation. we got your back!

    good to see that sometimes the wine doesn’t necessarily always enhance the wines. tried that for myself the other week…with a very similar outcome. i probably wasn’t quite as animated, but it was still fun.

    What a frightening beginning to today’s show. :O

    I’m so glad you don’t let the complainers change you one bit.

    QOTD: My favorite meal would be a Thanksgiving meal with a great big turkey and all the trimmings paired with a really oaky Chardonnay like I remember when I first started drinking wine. I’d want all my family and my wife’s family there!

    For a red, I want one of my wife’s great home-made pepporoni and olive pizzas with an over-the-top Zinfandel, shared with her as we watch the sunset on our backyard porch.

    Gary, Now that you have made the big time(Conan) I think you will have to get used to the idea of negative comments and feedback. It is human nature for people to react this way to your fame. I also wanted to say that your viewers should not ask you to change the format of WLTV because the show is perfect as is.

    Robert.

    PS: I love California rolls and Riesling for dinner with my wife Elizabeth

    the genuine items are always the best (not that you’re not always genuine but the fire in the belly seems to help)
