Aw dude, this is awesome, my 21st is tomorrow! Although the French in me means I’ve been lovin wine for a while now. Happy birthday AJ, many happy bottles to you!
QOD: none o that sibling stuff, I’m on my own!

Great show. It seems charisma runs in your family, although, perhaps out of necessity, AJ’s is more subdued. Favorite exchange:

GV: Is green your favorite color?
AJV: It’s up there.

QOTD: Yes, two older sisters, both pretty cool, though I can never tell them that – I’m the bratty little brother, they’d think something was wrong if I started to act all civil toward them!

Yo – AJ! HAPPY 21!

Too starstruck to get Browning?! Hmm… even I got it, ask your sis…..

To ALL THE VAYNERNATION This is vintage Gary & AJ. Its awesome to see these guys acting for real on here & they are the best!! Love you both!!

PS –
Gary, think you need AJ to be a partner… he was great!

i love gruner veltliners. an interesting choice for a newbie to first try, i think a riesling kabinett would be another great choice for newbies. next maybe an australian shiraz witha little viognier blended in there would be another good choice if were drinking syrah. as for the 21 year old opus, i cant imagine liking an aged wine when i was a newbie, it took my palate some time to start to like them. to me they tasted like an old musty attic with grandpas old clothes in a box that hasnt been opened for decades. QOTD: have the coolest bro and sis ever.

Very interesting to see how AJ responded to the wines. I can remember feeling the same way about reds a long time ago. Great job!

QOTD:I have an older sister named Erica whose 26 and I’m going to turn 25 tommorow!

Happy 21st Birthday to my favorite little bro! I am so proud of you & no more drinking!

XOXO

Your Sis
QOD: We share the same bro! It doesn’t get much better than that!

Great show GV and AJ – but you could have at least removed the price tag from little bro’s glass!

QOTD – as the youngest of 5 I learned so much from my older brothers and siters – mostly from their mistakes. Being the baby of the family rocks on and on.

Happy Birthday AJ! QOTD: No.

Fun Episode Gary!
I’m surprised that you didn’t bust out a 2o year tawny or an aged vintage port! However…I do have to say…bringing out the ’87 Opus One is HUGE!

QotD – Yep I have an older brother, but he’s pretty focused on his career, so I don’t really get to talk or see him that often (maybe 3x per year). However, when I do see him we have a great time and have lots to talk about!

Happy Bday, AJ. Welcome to the club of those of us where were lucky enough to do a wine tasting on our 21st!

QOTD: Newp. I’m the oldest. Oldest in my “generation” (i.e. including cousins) in fact. :shrug:

QOTD: Nope,I ran it all!

Happy birthday! Much better experience than I had for my twenty-first!

Happy Bday AJ! Great show I really felt the family love 🙂
QOTD: I have an older bro too, it’s taken a while for our relationship to develop but he and his wife just had a baby boy so he is a little more mushy now and I am thrilled to get an open view and shout out from his heart.

CHEERS AJ!

Happy BD to A.J., and QOTD – both of my sisters are younger than me, but they’d both say YES to that question 😉

Happy birthday AJ, and as a member of the CKC I think it was bad to the bone to see someone closer to the CKC age group on the show. Also, if that was the first time AJ actually drank alcohol and tonight will be the first time he gets buck housed crazy then my name is Elmer Fudd.

QOTD – I have 4 younger brothers

Nice job, AJ! Happy Birthday. Great chemistry between the two of youse.

QOTD: I have an older bro, 2.5yrs older, wicked-awesome, we’re both in our mid-40s, still get together every few weeks to hang out, B.S., and — of course! — share wine with each other. (Love ya, Jeffy Jeff.)

Happy 21st AJ. Wonderful show. My brother’s b-day today – he’s a little older than AJ- turned the big 50 today.
