So the announcement was killer – very exciting stuff. It’s kind of funny about the Food Network stuff because I always talk about how I can’t believe they don’t have any show dedicated to wine. They even have that Thirsty Traveler guy working on Iron Chef America, but still no dedicated wine show.

So how is this going to work now that you are getting into the wine making side of things – even without “scoring” the wines, it seems like it could still be seen as a conflict of interest.

One more thing – I agree on Albarino, but I sometimes wonder about Arinto out of Portugal. Kind of versatile like Albarino, although they are markedly different, but the wine seem able to fit into several situations.

Nice Gary………coubt me in Buddy!

the Nap Cab initiative sounds ok…. pity i’m in sydney……

Gary,

Do you know that you can do this much closer to home? I make wine every year at the Wine Room in Livingston. The wine is delicious and during blind tastings it has scored very highly.

Just a thought: why not spread the wealth and do this around the country?

GARY THIS IS AWESOME!!! We’ll do all we can to be part of this process from Cleveland!!!

I think its awesome, I can most likely only afford 1 bottle…or maybe not if its $38. Well, whether I participate or not, I think its awesome!

Most Excellent! Put me down for a couple of cases!

Nice. I live in CA so I will be getting involved for sure.

My friends and I were going to make Zin through Crushpad next fall. Now we have an even bigger reason to do it twice. Count me in!

Gary, Fantastic!! I am in.

Ian, good luck as host as Gary moves on to wine making. Based on your intro, you will change the wine world too.

Gary sells out. What a jerk-off. I wonder who will get the 500 cases? Those who are in S.F. and those that pay the most. What about the rest of the nation? Piss on them. Gary wants to play big-shot wine maker and go against all that he has been saying all along. Average guy — screw you! I make wine and you don’t. Whoever pays the most gets to blend it. I say kiss my ass Gary. I don’t want any wine made by some rich kiss up. In the mean time I will keep my inclusive attitude towards wine, help those who show interest and avoid the elitists…including new ones like Gary. What a disappointment. Make sure to charge your Mom for her one bottle, jerk.

Hi Gary,

nice idea and big thumbs up for your enthusiasm.
However, I am a little bit unsure as to how this should
work out well. Many people with many opinions could possibly
spoil the result.

Still I hope it will be a success and send you my best
wishes for your project.

Cool idea.

Hi Gary,

I am still following your vlog day by day and I am thrilled by your idea. You put so much energy and as we say in Germany “heart blood” into your idea to create a real wine community.

One question, you mentined, that in the future you might end up doing such a kind of project in different areas of the world, but how can we participate now in this project? is there any chance of a least buying some botles at the end of the story here in Europe, are you going to export some cases?

would be great to know.

regards
Thorsten

Big G,

Let’s do this.

Greg

I love the idea, and would love to be a part of it, but come on…how about some free shipping for the poor CKCs!

Keep up the good work.

Well Gary, this is just so amazing. I feel part of a community, and not just a comunity in the Internet kind of way but a real community. Hello everybody. Let us create a great wine together. And you local people who have the opportunity to go there for the harvesting, dont go eating up all the grapes now!

So excited
