Gary,

Thanks for the thanks. Believe me, your work is a true public service, and it is truly appreciated.

Idea for drinking game: Drink twice when you do that little nod (my favorite gesture of yours). Or have two bottles ready and open the more expensive one when the Jets win. That should save me a lot of money.

So long, Shockey!

Gary, great show. That really brought the Thunder. Love the energy. I’ll have to think about the QOTD.

Could only see 2 of the parodies and I must say they were both terrible. Sorry, have to be honest.

I vote for #3. He’s a little creepy. =)

I like da juice man! Number 1 and 2 🙂

For sure one thing for the drinking game if you mention Vinny Testiverde you gotta drain your drink 😉

just watched walt ribeiro! he said he’ll be on yer show! im so spoiled cause im a vino drinkin musician! couldn’t ask for more. thanks gv!!!

Drinking Game Idea:

Take a drink every time Gary fails to finish his sentence because he’s distracted with a new thought or idea.

Take two drinks when he gets distracted by anything to do with football or wrestling

Take three drinks when he gets distracted by someone walking in the hallway.

QOTD:

everytime gary spills wine out of his glass, you have to chug a drink

everytime gary hits the camera with something you have to drink half a glass.

well thats all i got so far

Gary good episode i have never heard of a gigondas.

QOTD:
– I will have to give it some thought.

Gary,
Great show. I watched #1 and #3 from the contest (link for #2 is broken) and they were both disturbing. Can’t wait to check out the Gigondas. The drinking game definetely needs to involve some drinking when you mention punching someone in the neck. Not that I’m a violent person, but there is only one other person I know who uses that unusual expression.

QOTD: I can only think of two rules:

1) Everytime Gary uses a number to reference a Jets player, add those two number together and drink (in sips) the sum.
2) Everytime Gary doesn’t spit out the wine, finish whatever is left in your drink.

If people play this game with wine, it may be suicidal.

Gary!!
I LOVE the qotd!
OK, I have so many ideas swirling in my head. How about a game with the same name as your book..this is cross-promotion. Gary Vaynerchuks 101 Wines..object of the game is to acquire all the different varietals of wine available..pieces shaped like wine glass, bottle of wine, corkscrew, WLTV wristband, etc. Land on spaces that you can pick a card from a wine cellar door that you need to open…and the card can say “youve just obtained a vineyard in the south of france, blah blah blah.. lolol I could go on and on Gary!!!
And the game can be played as real wine drinking game as well….
(Ok, stopping now…)

I never had a Gigondas and will seek out the 2004 Tardieu Laurent Gigondas pronto!

I continue to be amazed at the number of wines available that I know nothing about. I continue to appreciate your efforts to make these wines known.

The contest I would choose #1 but the links for #2 did not work.

QOTD – the name would be “Changing the Wine World” and would involve different wines and points deducted when you land on the fruit bomb square!

I’ll work on the game, just learned a new one from South Africa last weekend.

#1 & 2 links are the same.

#1

Another great episode. Thanks to you for expanding my knowledge as well as my palate about wine. I’ve learned so much in the last year by experimenting with different wines. Thanks and keep bringing the thunder.

I love gigondas.

Contest seems to have some issues as Video 1 and 2 are linked to the same one.

Give us THREE new videos and let’s start this contest over agaiin!

The first two video links point to the same video file?!?

The first two video links point to the same video file?!?

qotd: I like RANDI’s idea of like a Settlers of Catan or card game based on wines. You could even go Risk-style and grow your own fruit bombs. Sim-Winery. You could lose points when the oak monster attacks.

real qotd: Anytime Gary gives you a shout out, like the CKCs, the CC, different states, you drink a glass.

#1 for sure!

Of the two videos I like #3 but Mark F is gonna be pissed.

#1 definitely.

QOTD: Every time a wine is scored 85 and Mott pans the camera to the jersey you have to drink your glass. The number of Z’s in Pazzz equals the number of drinks you have to take.

I attempted to watch videos 1 & 3 and have two comments:

1) Lame; and

2) Way too long. Are you kidding me? 11 and 16 minutes respectively? I’d be shocked if anyone can make it all the way through these videos.

I can’t believe these are 2 of the 3 finalists.

I reserve judgment on video 2 when Mott links it up accurately, but, if it is around 5 minutes or so and is slightly witty, it will get my vote.
