  • Excellent call!!! Does anyone in the US do barefoot pressing?

  • BruceP

    Thought this might be it. You let this idea slip when i saw you that tasting night about a month ago in Napa. Sounds like a lot of fun. I’ll be in. Already doing a Crushpad wine for Russian River Pinot Noir, but there’s always room for Cabernet as well.

    Please don’t hold the kick off the last weekend in October! I have to be down in L.A.

  • Eric Nyeste

    To bring Michael Brill in on this was genius.

  • melissa vv

    Wow! That’s fantastic news. It’s definitely not what I expected, but I’m excited to see what comes of the Vayniac wine. I’ll definitely be buying some 🙂

    NASCAR Wine? Is that even possible? If you can take a case of beer into the track, can you take a case of wine? Might need it in a plastic bottle. MD 20/20 anyone?

  • As for Albarino, at its best is it bracing in acidiy: perfect for seafood and not so much for a walk-around wine.

    And what about Viognier, Marsanne and Roussanne?

  • Orion Slayer

    AWESOME!!! It will be great to “make a wine” with Gary and the Vaniacs! Dude, even if the wine turns out to be a PaZZZZ, the experience will more than make up for it. Thanks, Gary. Beyond any expectation.

    Watching the multiple false announcements was like watching the end of “Murder by Death.” If you watched the movie, you know what I mean.

  • Andre

    Great idea Gary! Can’t wait to see how it all comes together.

  • Taylor

    I totally guessed that, im genous and hope that it ends up as good i as pray it will!

  • Doug

    How exciting!! I hope a little bit of you and a lot of us do the heavy lifting, but a lot of you and a little bit of us actually make the wine.

  • angryphoton

    sometimes (actually a lot of times, except for ridiculous house prices) living and working in San Francisco does have its perks…..

  • CMA

    YEEAAAH!! Now the real question! What do I get in reward for posting the first comment on this momentous occasion?? Now that I watched the episode I can lave a real comment. What a great and unique announcement,I would definately love to get in this if I can afford the flight out on my CKC budget. We should commision an artist for the label ala Mouton-Rothschild..just a thought. I don’t know if 500 cases is going to be enough for the Vaynernation. Now, to get back to my homework after I just spent the last three hours refreshing the winelibrary page.

    Wow. In my biz that’s what we call a “deep tease”. Neat idea gary – good luck with it and thank GOD you’re still doing the show (although I must admit I squealed like a little girl when I thought you were going to the foodnetwork…oh well…)

    Love the Napa montage. Love albarino too. Oh heck, love it all!

  • JOEinLA

    SWEET…

  • slambert

    Awesome idea GV!

    I can’t wait to be a part of the process and share in the experience. I am not disappointed at all!

    I still think you would be awesome on Food Network!

  • Pretty cool but somewhat of a letdown b/c (1) i can already make and bottle my own wine at a local store–no this doesn’t include picking the grapes, barrel sampling, etc.; and (2) Napa is way to far for me to travel to pick and crush grapes for some wine. Just to be clear: this is SOMEWHAT of a letdown not a COMPLETE letdown. It is a new idea in the wine world.
