    Awesome! I’ve been wanting to do a crushpad wine for a while and this is a perfect way to get my feet wet, so to speak. And since I live in the Bay Area travel won’t be a problem. 😀

  • Dominick Q

    Whoa!
    I was wrong on both guesses…
    very cool Gary.
    Although Cab Sau isn’t my favorite grape I’ll havta get a few bottles.

    About that Albarino… that should be the world’s SECOND most drunk white wine;
    Chenin blanc is number one in my book (mouth; that should be).
    Still, I’ll need a nice taste o’ that ‘Black Pig’.

  • Msquared

    Did you actually say “ship out barrel samples?”. Because I’ll be able to join if that’s the case. On my schoolteacher schedule/salary, I doubt I can make it to Napa, but I’ll but a few bottles and participate in every other way I can! This is, indeed, changing the wine world! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

    Incredible. I can’t thank you enough for the hardwork you do with this man. I look forward to watching this everyday.

    Dude, we are meeting up at the Jets/Pats game on the 9th, it’s going to be unbelievably emotional.

    Come have a beer with us alright?

    I saw a comment from someone on overkill or something. I have to disagree. All those days of waiting could have been rewarded with some cheesy marketing-style sell out, something like a wristband factory in china or some super-special shipping discount offer from WineLibrary. This smells more like the passion an integrity of someone really into wine. Kudos and good luck.

  • Really fun! I was waiting for you to do this. And it was one of my guesses!!

    I was smiling through the whole open. I loved all the fake outs. In fact I almost wish there were more. More build up. More hype. You are PT BARNUM and Arnold S. wrapped into one. Master of promotion. Great job.

    I love the announcement, and I’m looking forward to participating! Not sure what people in MA should be excited about except the Patriots pouncing on the J-E-T-S. By the way, aren’t you warming the wine up when you’re holding the stem of that tasting glass? Go Ian!

  • Gary is the new master of marketing. I’m looking forward to it should be a fun ride.

    Gary, Thank you so much for all you do. WLTV has become a part of my daily routine and all I can say is that YOU, GV, with a little bit of me, well you’ve taught me to enjoy wine more and more. Can’t wait to get on board with Vayniac Cab tomorrow!

  • Gary– Welcome to the Crushpad Nation. About the same time that I learned about WLTV (in the fall of 2006) I learned about Crushpad. We are also in the biz thanks to Mike Brill and his wonderful business idea. Is this great or what?

  • mikeyrad

    WOW, very cool!! Count me in. So, is VaynerCab going to be Bordeauxlike, a fruit bomb, or a little bit of both?

  • Jeff Cleveland

    Gary, what a cool idea. Don’t know if I’d be able to participate but even if I don’t, I’m sure you’ll provide us with plenty of ways to be connected to it. I can just picture the twitter messages you’ll be sending along the way. I really love being a part of this community. Thanks, Gary.

    and if this one works out, can the next one be in Italy or France? It would be great to have an excuse to go to Europe. 🙂

  • Bobinnati

    Wow! Never would have guessed this outcome! Very cool idea. I definitely will be buying in, but probably won’t be making too many trips to the left coast. The Albarino sounds good too.

  • Dodger Blue

    Way to go, gary!!
    I’m glad that my guess was wrong because it turned out greater that I expected. I could see your passion and I really respect it.
    Can’t wait to see something like ‘vayniac cab “GV” Reserved’.
    First ever community wine! Awesome idea and Oh, I already feeling some fun fact going on there. Thank you always.
