    QOTD: There was no arm twisting at 11:30 PM on X-mas eve. My wife rolled her eyes and went back to placing all the gifts under the tree. Well wait until she opens her gifts tomorrow, she’ll change her tune….

    Dittos VinOrecul…I like the WL wine bars idea too.

    Among the many things that Robert Parker and I have in common is that we cannot receive the Christmas pack here in MD. Thank you for all of the recommendations you have made on your show Sir Vaynerchuk. The 2005 Bordeaux insights into Castillon are much appreciated. Cheese is always a synergistic combination with wine and some crusty bread and someone you love to share it with.

    Please give Mott a raise on the first.

    To all of the hard working folks of the wine world in places like Bordeaux, Piedmont, Priorat, Mendoza, Barossa, Napa, Walla Walla, Finger Lakes, Alsace, Ribera Del Duero, Loire, Rheingau, Bourgogne, Marlborough, Maipo, Stellenbosch, Valpolicella and Willamette I’d like to say thank you for your efforts and may God bless you everyone.

    Peace.

    No arm twisted needed…but I did email the link to my son who returned from Iraq last month. Seems he’s moved on from copious amounts of cheap beer, and has called three times asking for wine recos so I suggested he start viewing.

    Shout out to all our military men and women who won’t be able to spend Christmas at home! Merry Christmas from the VaynerNation!

    Merry Christmas and Happy New YEar to one and all!

    Gary, I have to say thank you for the wine selection. I popped the first two and I love them both. The Lavagnac is an outstanding value to say the least.

    The white Callac is AMAZING! Outstanding pick, if I received no other presents for Christmas, it would make my holiday all by itself. Before this show, I was an exclusive red wine drinker, but I am really feeling the whites as of late.

    Thanks Gary.

    QOTD: My wife, again. Trying to get her into appreciating wine. She loves you and the show, just not a wine person I guess.

    Actually, just me and a glass of the Saint-Lager Brouilly … and yes, for six bucks or four euros or whatever that is these days, it kicks several kinds of ass. I wish I’d brought something over for the rest of the family tonight, I guess they weren’t otherwise in a drinking mood. In fact, for some reason I found myself really wanting some white Bdx or maybe some Sancerre, and it’s probably your fault. Best wishes and happy xmas, all.

    Thanks Gary for the show. This was my parent’s and sister’s introduction to winelibrary tv, and they got a HUGE kick out of it.

    Also, an avowed white white “disliker” was won over by the Graves white.

    Health and happiness above all and the joy of wine too.

    So, I didn’t think I’d be able to sample the Christmas pack since I live in Massachusetts and WL can’t ship here, but for Christmas, my boyfriend managed to get the pack shipped to his friend’s place is Rhode Island. It was such a great gift, and I loved tasting along and learning that much more about wines because I could smell and taste the same wines that you were. It was such a special Christmas present because now I get to share those wines with my family(mostly just my brother) but it’s so fantastic.

    I love Christmas and this is one of the reasons why.

    Merry Christmas Gary. Thanks for helping to make this one special.

  • Merry Christmas!

    QoTD: Unfortunately, I couldn’t convince my brother or sister (the only other drinkers in the family) to watch with me…plus, I had no Christmas pack 🙁

    My red-wine-lovin’ brother doesn’t want to watch because it’s a video podcast and he only listens to radio podcasts…how much does he suck??? He says he doesn’t have time to get hooked. What a bum.

    My sister only likes malt liquor, but I did get her to try the 2007 Vermonte Sauvignon Blanc that tastea of green bell peppers and she was so excited (she loves weird-tasting things, and to her, that was really weird)! So hopefully, she’ll come wine-side and get away from those horrid 40s.

    Ridonculous episode, Gary! Tasted along with you. No arm twisting here. Got home after a Christmas Eve dinner with my son and his family. Hubby and me then set up the laptop on the kitchen island and took about an hour to go through the wines with you, ‘cuz we would stop the tape and do our own commenting as we were tasting!!! TOO MUCH FUN!!! Merry Christmas!!! We are blessed with friends and family in the greatest nation in the world! Thank you, Gary, for sharing your passion for wine with us. We ARE changing the wine world!!!!!!!!!

    I am back. The show was great as usual. Gary, why not a “Mott (NOT MOM) link it up” shirt? We need to revote on this.

    QOTD: My brother-in-law was totally against the wine tasting today. He thought it was a crazy thing to do until he looked up some info on GV and Wine Library and seen the earnings $$$$$$$$$$$ figure and said “hey, something is working here, why not”. I love him but what a turd at times.

    Thanks again Sasha, GV, Mott and WLTV for a great year………

    Gary….gonna add another comment here……maybe you can send out an e-mail to those who want it for the wines in the 4 pack next time so those of us who cannot get it shipped can go out and find them. Either that or I am going to have to ship it to another state and then have it shipped here. That is an option here too.
