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.

Sal.. is that you!?

Gary – totally awesome. I’m in. (Just have to convince the wife) – it’ll probably be the only way I’ll ever get my hands on real Napa fruit for my homemade wine!

Congrats dude – not disappointed at all!

I just want to taste it when it’s done.

p.s.

Props on the Albarino, It’s been one of my heavy hitters over the past couple years, can’t wait to try yours…free shipping?!?

BTW eff the FoodNetwork! They sold out long ago. You are too good for them. Follow Bourdain to the Travel Channel.

Wow Gary – love the idea of a community wine. Thanks for the opportunity.

Genius!..Love it!!!! I am In!

BTW, are there any tax write-off’s for us on this?

Gary, no disrespect to the other guy but don’t ever kid about you being replaced as the host of WLTV. You scared the crap out of me.

About making our own wine… that ROCKS! I’ve been looking for an excuse to come out to the West coast. I’d love to help with making the wine. I’m totally in for buying some of it.

Oh oh oh… and that Black Pig sounds good.

I’ll be in Napa in the end of September!!! Hopefully I can check it out!!!

Thanks Gary V!! You Da Man!!

Disappointed? Are you kidding me? I was so excited I could barely stand to watch the rest of the episode because I wanted to dance!!!
How cool is this? In my dreams could I only imagine an opportunity like this!
I’m already looking at airfare! Oh, my gosh!! Thank you so much!!!
Jeez, I must calm myself.

Ian, you did a FANTASTIC job! I feel as if I know you, as many times as I’ve emailed you. 🙂
Gary, congrats on the Black Pig. Another wine I must try; especially if it goes well with chili. Fall is around the corner and so is October and so is San Fran!! yes!!
I must go and open a bottle of something!! Cheers!!

This is awesome!!! There is not enough true community in this world. What a great step toward building real community through the creation of wine. WOW! Gary, really…. let me say it again- WOW!

Awesome announcement. I have been making wine for years, have helped a couple of new wineries on harvest day, but have never participated in the entire process of a commercial venture. I’m all in.

Michael Brill has been so successful, what a great partner.

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (with a thousand exclamation points)

Wow, I can’t believe I got to watch the whole episode without having anyone come in the store!!! Totally on board….. can’t wait! Love the Napacabs.

**** Speechless****

Epic. That’s all I can say.

Seriously Epic.

Great news, Gary!!

I don’t mean to be a douche, but is there any chance that you could hook up a special kosher-run of the Vaynerchuk-Chuck? That would make it a true community wine.
