That is sooo freakin awesome! I can’t wait to get in on this!!!! I could acutally make it out to Napa as well. It’s just a short 14 hour drive 😀

GARY SUPER EXCITED!!!!!
My dad and I are planing to go to NAPA, to produce the best Cab to ever hit the scene.

DEREK RICHARDS IN KANSAS

Omg GV, that is SO COOL! I can’t wait!!

Awesome! I can’t wait for the label design contest.

Awesome! Better than any expectation (and that’s saying something with the build up). I’m in and I guess I now know how I will use the airline voucher from the canceled Bern’s trip. Hoping to raise a glass with you, I owe you a drinky-drink.

I suspect, though, that demand will exceed supply, so make sure the mechanism is robust and fair (is there a possibility that the run can be expanded if need be not to exclude anyone interested?). Nothing would be worse then someone wanting to participate but being shut out due to circumstance.

Speaking of which I’m feeling for those in the “forbidden” states. It sure would be in the Vaynernation spirit if Vayniacs in neighboring states volunteered to purchase for others to pick up. For their largess they could receive credit for the order towards the top 5. Something like this could be organized in an easily overlooked (by WL) topic in the forums. This stuff wouldn’t be available for the protected merchant to peddle anyway, it sure would be a shame if some of the brethren Vayniacs are shut out due to silly laws. We need to find a workaround.

Ian is stellar. There never needs to be a reason for a day to go by without a WL eps. It would afford you the opportunity to take a break now and then and show him your confidence in him, he has the Vaynerchuk sensibility without being derivative and is entertaining in his own right. I suspect there’s more than a few cat’s pee and poops in him (but don’t tell him I said that). You should be secure in your success/talent (you know you’re an original) to give him a shot now and then. All the great talkshow host had stand-ins, think about it. You don’t drink just one varietal, do you?

You done good, Vaynerchuk.

Comin’ out of “lurker status” for this one…

Congrats Gary! I love the idea of community-made wine, and I can’t wait to see what comes out of the label contest. Great news, great announcement; I’ll definitely be buying as much as the budget will allow.

wow you scared me there for a minute (no offense Ian!!!)
then it felt like the finally of Dancing with the stars…… or that sort of thing ( prolonging the suspense..)
community wine sounds like interesting idea!! does community include Canada?

Fantastic idea. I’m fortunate to have family in the bay area so I hope I’ll be able to actually participate as well as buy. Can’t wait to see the details.

I thought about this a year or so ago and now, it can come to fruition. I need to take some time off and what better way than to spend it in Napa.

I’m there.

Cheers!

Exciting, but very unexpected. I think it’s a great idea and can’t wait to buy a bottle. Maybe we can do a nyc tasting?!

(Is anyone else sad that GV isn’t going on the food network? I’m thinking of starting a petition!)

I’m so going to be at his vineyard!

Awesome!!!!!!!!

THIS will be interesting. The opportunity to follow a wine almost from it’s inception to it’s completion is an experience that only comes around once in a blue moon.

QOTD: you DIDN’T buy the Jets?

Wow! What an awesome announcement! I’m sooo glad that I live reasonably close to Napa because I’d love to be part of this wine!! You are the best – always looking out for your fans. I got to admit (no offense to Ian) you did give me a little scare. The wine world wouldn’t quite be the same without yas.
Congrats on the big day!

The event lived up to the hype. Nice work GV. You just changed the wine world for good. The momentum created by you and the Vaynernation is steamrolling down a steep S.F. street. WOW!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats Gary this is excellent.

Hook me up with 10 cases please! Gary, you need some serious HELP! Thanks for the ride and I’ll see you along the way as OUR wine comes to fruition. Dr. Sifuentes.

So how much do i have to spend to be oneof the 5? 🙂

Awesome GV. I WILL BE THERE! Can I say, in unison with all the Vayniacs, THANK YOU!

mount veeder, howell….damn i can’t wait!

Great idea, should be a wild ride….hopefully the vintage will be a good one, but even if the wine sucks, we’ll have memories….i’m curious to hear what the price point will be….

This rocks – I actually haven’t even finished watching the episode yet – I’m actually half watching, half typing. I don’t want to miss anything – thank you, fantastic, way to go!!!

Very cool!! Look forward to following this adventure.

Is that it? All that drawn out hyper-bull for so long, just for that!! Talk about overkill.
Don’t get me wrong, it sounds like an interesting project and I wish you luck but come on, it was over hyped. I just hope it doesn’t end up being another one of those typically jamy Napa fruit bombs with an overbearing oak monster, that seems to be the popular trend.
Good luck and don’t forget to include some poo, and veggy notes.

QOTD: What the heck is TOT SER?

Oh, I almost forgot, I’m definitely in in subsequent years if you do an aussie shiraz, it would be justification to make the trek (amd I’m just looking for an excuse).

This is so frickin full of crap. You guys make most of this stuff up. I mean, who talks like this: “Vaynernation”, etc. It seems to me, that this is all about this guy’s employees writing comments….so transparent that it isn’t even funny.
