    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.

  • watched the episode a while ago, but then went right back to the forums

    looking forward to the Vayniac Cab!

    G.V. master of marketing. Creating all new business opportunities in the world of wine. Impressive.
    I might be in only because I know the fruit will be top notch and with all this attention and media focus, the crush folks and other consultants will put in the extra effort and attention.
    Cheers!

  • I rather not comment tonight. I expected something more important, after nine months of watching daily that number on the board. I guess it’s going to be fun, but so much expectation just for this? am I missing something here?

    Wow Gary! That is freaking incredible! How could anyone be disappointed? This announcement far exceeded anything I came up with. The only thing that’s a downer for me is the fact that I live in Florida and am on a students budget but i’ll have to find a way to at least get to the release party. The barrel samples by mail is a brilliant idea too. I think it’s awesome that you’re doing everything you can to get all of us involved. Oh, and how about the label contest for the iphone? I think that would be perfect. Thanks so much for all you do for us.

    A wine critic with the gumption to put his own cajones on the line by taking part in producing his own wine? What will the other wine critics say?…Hrr-umph, Hrr-umph, Hrrrumph, Hrr-umphh…”hey I didn’t get a Hrrumph outta that guy!’….hrr-umph! Thats better.

    You know, wouldn’t be nothing wrong with taking the occasional break for an episode or two of Iberian delights with Ian. Shakes things up a bit.

    I am so down for this.

  • Incredible idea. Coming from someone who loves to make wine as much as drink it, this is a fantastic concept! No dissapointment here.

    Gary, you’re the shit. I love the idea, I haven’t had a chance to catch winelibrary in a while running a business with my father and being a chef doesn’t lend me much free time….. Great show as usual and I’m really interested to see how this effort turns out.

    Peace

  • vivaitalia

    Oh, and i’m kinda upset that you’re letting the albarino secret out of the bag. It has long been my favorite white wine and it’s so little known that the prices have stayed reasonable. Hopefully it doesn’t end up booming like pinot noir and so many others. Also I think it would be awesome if you could come up with a few things for those of us who have almost no means of making it out there. The progress tracking web site is a great touch. Man i’m pumped up, I can’t believe there are disappointed people.

It was only fitting that you would offer such an amazing experience to the commoner. Awesome count me in. I am going to look for that Black Pig.
