Just got turned on to WLTV and am LOVING it! Lotta catching up to do, and this episode was great. Gotta get my hands on some Gigondas. It’s too bad that some of these wines are hard to find. Kind of fun adventuring to find them though.

Lisa

WOOT WOOT! Anna & Derek!!! Congratu-friggin-lations! I hope you guys had a wonderful day…I was enthralled when pics were over! Hottest friggin day ever! And the night…was quite memorable!!!

Gary, Anna made Derek promise not to bring you into her day…because it was her day (being the comprimising new hubby…he complied)….however, she forgot about the VaynerCHICK in her wedding party..that’s right…me! Who was under no promisory obligations what-so-ever! Yessa! So the Champagne (Sparkling wine, rather) bottle on the table of honor was rocking the WLTV wristband throughout the reception!

Derek and Lisa, with a little wristband, are changing the wedding! Whether Anna likes it or not!!!!
