Nice, though you teased me. I thought MA opened up for shipping. Yeah right, our tight a$$ puritan state. 😉

Great idea, I’ve thrown it around with buds, Im in for a bottle.

Gary, this is FANTASTIC!!!
I don’t have a lot of money, but I’ll get at least 2 bottles!

Ok so the links come up tomorrow but what is the pricing? Gary V thought me I should look for QPRs ;-).. PS Do you make your own chili? If so can you share the recipe?

DUDE!!!!! GARY!!!! This is a better announcement then i could have ever imagined!!!! I will be at every party and every step of the process along the way. Hell you can even stay at the inlaws house with me when you go to Napa to pick the grapes. I am super excited and will be buying this wine for sure. I wont be one of the top 5 to purchase because i am not a baller (i wish i could) But i will buy the most that i can. I cant wait to meet you and speak with you about the “wine world” it will be fun. I have helped my best friends family pick grapes and go through the whole wine making process. And if you ask me the vino turned out great. It is worth all the hard work, sweat, and tears in the end!!! I cant wait to be a part of this!!!! Thank you a TON Gary for doing what you do day in and day out and for coming up with something this over the top and great. The vaynernation appreciates it!!!!!!

P.S. I am going to buy some of the black pig too 🙂

Glad I live in Cali! Always wanted to see the other side of the wine bottle. T

Finally, the dream come true. I have a degree in horticulture and always dreamed of working in viticulture.

Even though I don’t live in CA, don’t have lots of “bones”, I am withdrawing some from my nest egg, finding cheap airfare, leaving the Midwest behind to join in the fun. I want to get down and dirty in the vineyard, the crush …. gotta take a breath, so excited.

Get those fall dates so I can make plans.

Knew there was a reason for my purple passion!

AWESOME. Loved the fake breaking news. Love the idea of a community wine. That is truly revolutionary. Gotta try the Albarino.

El Puerco Negro, Black Pig??????? next time let the vayniac’s pick the name……:):):):)….THE BIG NEWS is a very cool idea….Congrats Gary….good show….

Gary, this idea of yours is Phenomenal! Good luck. I’m in for at least a case now that we can have wine shipped to Indiana without fear of the secret police (read: ATF) busting down the door for having a case of vino shipped to our door!

Constantly changing course GV,,, got to love it!!

🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

Wonderful. I’m in!!!!!!!

Count me in!

gv, i

>He didnâ??t buy the Jets!

BUT this is a good step. A lot of money on the wine product end of things. You’re going to own the whole channel Gary… great way to make enough to buy the jets. Just try to get in there before that little J.E.T. kid comes of age.

Seriously… great announcement. Congrats to the Crushpad folks. They have a great service/thingy going on, and this will get them some good exposure and USE.

‘still looking forward to those Cork’d updates. We need something to put a little fire under us at WineLog 😉 BTW, I got a wristband. My cats love playing with it.

Peace.

Great idea! Though I’m sad everything will be happening out on the West Coast – how about a second launch party for your friends in the NY/NJ area??

I feel like this is going to get sold out pretty quickly… hope I make it in for at least 6!

gary let us know who you worked with in Galicia! We’re headed up there to taste and do a regional report…

Sweet. Great idea. I’m excited. If I could, I would go to California for the crush, but sadly cannot. I will buy some though.

So a little story about the big lead up…I’ve had a pretty stressful week and was kind of sick of waiting around with bated breath for a big announcement from a guy who tells us not to listen him almost every other day, so I said to myself, I’m sure I’ll find out about it in good time, and left the office to run some errands before going home. I got in the subway at 34th St and half way to 23rd I realize that I was the last one out of the office and forgot to lock the door so I have to turn around and go back. When I got back to the office, I figured I may as well turn my computer on to see if the show was up yet, and it was completely worth it.

Garagistes! Count me in! Great concept and an interesting way to see the wine process from beginning to end. It’s a bonus if you live in the bay area. My wife and I have visited Sonoma and Napa during Crush (actually going there this weekend). There’s a whole lot of work that goes into the bottle and the whole valley smells like grapes. Gary has sourced some good fruit so it should be some fairly decent juice. Communal wine is a concept that I’m sure Beam Wine Estates and Constellation Brands hopes tanks. We’re making our own, wheter they like it or not. Sure hope it doesn’t suck!

AWESOME! Not disappointed one bit!

Disappointed??? No way. This was one time that the event was worth all of the anticipation leading up to it. This is a great idea.

Way to go Gary V !!!!!!

Won’t be able to make it to CA for the crush, but I’ll be ordering some bottles.
