You guys are way too natural in front of the camera. Was your mom doing a lot of home movies when you were kids or what??

  • Hey AJ happy birthday. Another great show that once again demonstrates how cool your show is.
    QOTD: I have a younger brother who is 8 years younger than me. It always amazes me how despite the age difference and being at different stages in our lives we are still very close.

  • One of many reasons i love this show is the family aspect…
    your brother’s first ever legal wine tasting, amazing.

    havn’t got an older sibling but on her 18th she loved dom ’96 and an old fashioned cocktail. The bartenders lapped her up so an unbeliveable potental there.

    Long live introducing family into what you love, if they like it or not

    Happy 21st, buddy. Btw – joined your facebook group; best group ever! Didn’t realize you were involved when I joined it.

    QOTD: Older bro…not so hot overall. But he instilled a love in the Redskins from early age, so I have to appreciate him for that. You Vaynerchuks want Pete Kendall back, don’t you?!!??!?! Yeah, I thought so.

  • fotodevil

    QOTD: I am the oldest of 3 kids. I just turned 27 last week, and my brother and sister are 10 and 8, respectively. I’m sure their answer to the QOTD would be YES and YES 😉

    You did give me a great idea though, GV. When I have kids, I will be purchasing a bottle of wine to cellar and then share on their 21st birthday.
