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??

QOTD: I’m an older brother, but hope that someday I’ll have a younger bro as cool as AJV

    QOTD: Older sister – mother, lawyer, sweetheart. Her life is tougher than mine! Younger sister – manager, artist, free spirit. She deserves more than she has. Me – just a wino.

    Happy birthday AJ! When are we going to see Mama V? Everyone else has made an appearance and your Dad definitely stole the show. How bout an all-Vaynerchuk episode? Gary, AJ, Sasha, and Mrs. V? It could work …

  • Ali D’Orsi

    AJ!! You did such a great job. You’re too cute. Gary, you’re adorable too 🙂

    Let’s go for drinks as soon as you get back.

    Love you buddy!! Happy Birthday!

    Fun Show. Its great to see a noob’s first experience tasting wines. One day AJ will be comfortable enough to hold a wine glass by the stem.

    HAPPY B-DAY AJ!

    QOTD: I’m an only child.

  • QOTD: I’m the eldest, and there is no way I’m as unbelievably radool as GV :

    Nice to see AJ on the show – always nice to see a family getting along well! I wish my intro to wine was broad, unassuming and gentle as AJ’s. If only someone had have encouraged me to trust my palate, try everything and play around and not treat wine seriously then it would not have been 5 years later before i began to enjoy it, and now love it :D.

    Yeah great episode- except you are two stupid ass Jets fans. Happy Birthday AJ

  • QOTD: I do have an older sister and like Gary she is very family orintated and one of the most thoughtful people I know. i am very thankful for the relationship we have.

    Loved the episode today, definitely my new favorite! It was a really nice surprise to have Aj come on for his birthday because today is my birthday too. It’ll be a while before I get the chance to try wines though, I’m only 15. 🙁

    QOTD: Yeah, I have two older brothers that are totally radool. My mom was my dad’s second wife, so my brothers are from before the divorce. I lov emy family though because we’re all really close and my dad’s first wife is like my aunt/second mom. MY brothers are 30 and 36 years old, so though I don’t see them as often as most siblings, we get together for dinner once a month minimum. Having brothers is awesome because it extends the family, my one brother brings my sister-in-law and my 3 nieces over for the dinners and it’s always a great time. I can’t wait for my other brother to find a wife and continue to expand the family!

    Great episode GV, you should bring your family one more often! Sasha + AJ + (Sister) + you would be awesome. I’d love to see how you all reacted to different wines.

    What a nice show! Happy Birthday, AJ!

    QOTD: Nope, I’m the oldest of two. And we’re too close in age for me to have introduced my brother to wine, but I think I was occasionally useful in some other ways :-).

    elliot is only quasi-correct, and may wanna do a little homework himself ;^) bonny doon created big house wines but sold them off in 2006. the slammer in todays episode was a bonny-doon-made 2005.

    my many older brothers and sister are the greatest.
