    Gary, I love the idea! The question is: How is it our wine? Are we going to be making money off of it too? Hahahaha. Yeah, right. It’s YOUR wine with a little bit of us! Nonetheless, I am cool with going to Napa and getting my hands dirty. Me and Jorge will design the label, I am pretty sure we’re gonna win the contest. Cheers, G.V. Always loved u, always will!

    Thats a cool idea. It will be fun to watch it evolve. The countdown should say -1.

  • Community wine = fantastic news! I love the idea of focusing on the process and community interaction in addition to (or maybe even more than) the resulting wine.

    Haven’t read all the other comments yet, so what I’m about to say may be a repeat, BUT: Wouldn’t it be great if (server/bandwidth capacity permitting) the barrel sample tasting was a WLTV live episode–and folks who had barrel samples shipped to them could taste along with you and those lucky enough to be there in person?

    And speaking of barrel tasting: I’d LOVE to have that opportunity. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do, and I’d enjoy it the most if it involved a barrel of juice I had a hand in making.

    And about having a hand in the making: I was just telling a coworker, “Geez, I have all these ’07 vacation days to use up between now and my birthday… I need to plan a cruise or a coffee plantation visit or, I dunno, a week of running away with the circus.” Now I can add “a few days makin’ wine” to my list. Fabulous! We’ll see if I manage to take any time off.

    Even if I can’t get hands-on involvement (because I’m in Chicago instead of California), I’m definitely in for hands-off involvement–and at least 2 bottles (heh, probably more) will grace my home.

    No disappointment from me. The announcement was worth the wait!

  • Brant

    Fantastic idea!! As an addict of the show from almost the beginning this is definitely a great idea and has been worth the wait. Nice payoff. I’ll say this for GV the guys a marketing genius and right now he is firing on all cylinders – I’m definitely in for at least a few bottles. But since I’m from the northwest he’ll regret not using Walla Walla fruit. Nonetheless, this is a homerun and congratulations.

    I must say I was really disappointed – crushed, actually upon learning the big news. Then you mentioned that you might mail barrel samples. If you can guarantee that you can do that, I’m in.
