Stay true to yourself Gary. Don’t push the show too far, too high, too loud. Too much is to much.
Also, it seemed to me that it was not the best conditions to taste wine.

Damn, Gary! Was that crowd drunk? They sure were a loud bunch! Cool show on the pinots, and a huge shout out to the fine folks at C. Donatiello, especially Robert Conard, that awesome tasting room/visitor center manager guru! Robert buddy – congrats to all on a nice review from Gary Vay-ner-chuk, and we will all be sure to ignore all of the pukes (ummmm sorry), make that so-called expert reviewers, who forget to spit out their TicTac’s before they review remarkable wines. (No, I am not talking about Gary here!!!)

QOTD – I am a musician by nature, jazz and big band mostly, and our audiences are much quieter and more polite during our shows, except at the end, when they shower us with applause, adulation, adoration, cash, panties, and the occasional overripe vegetable….. cheeres!

Meh show, not really a vaynernation type IMO.

QOTD: Only had a few dozen at work meetings and seminars. Of course if we are including group activities than hundreds from my high school playing days.

Awesome show Gary…man you were pumped!!!

Can’t believe you brought up “sheep butt” again, Damm you Vaynerchuk!!

Wow — sounds like few there were listening! as for QOTD — my record would be around 180

Kind of strange. It’s probably just because there were so many people, but it didn’t sound like anyone was even paying attention.

Love live shows…lots of activity in the background though??…but certainly different! Goes to show – you bring the thunder where ever you go!

QOTD: Not as many but I have had a few crowds listen to me ramble about wine! alot of fun when it happened!

Do you always drink tough-juice when you do live shows? You seem really tough and forceful with the crowd.

Gary,
Tell me how my San Diego Chargers ASS taste!

QOTD: You are messing with the forces of nature, Mr. Beal.

idk gary, you were brining some serious thunder in this episode…the crowd seemed a little rude though (they’re all talking in the background!)

then again, idk how many people were actually in the audience so it could’ve been like 10 people out of 10,000 talking and then this comment is moot.

awesome show…as usual.

QOTD: I have been lucky enough to be in those situations…it is very humbling.

Sounds like a pretty busy crowd! Keep doing what you do Gary!

Maybe it was just me, but it seemed like everyone was yapping the whole time you were talking. Not a focused crowd at all. And I’ve never been a part of something that big, so I’ll have to wait to tell you!

Whooooaaaa Nelly! A tad over the top for me on a quiet Thurs night with a big storm coming up the East Coast. That being said, good reviews on the Pinots. I’ll need to procur some of Pinot #2.

QOTD: You’re kidding right? I’m lucky enough to have the Dominette listen to two words I have to say about wine or any other subject for that matter.

You go my man. I live my star studded fantasy through you.

Cheers!

Good show. Thought you were going to collapse at the end of that one ;).

I’m not really into the ‘live crowd’ shows to be honest. Tasting WITH the crowd also seems to work better. Gary – maybe working with a (much smaller) live audience IN THE STUDIO might be a more sound option for the future of the show!

QOTD: Yes, when i sang live with a live karaoke band this summer!

QOTD: No.

Fun stuff. Wine convention?

I was there…1,100+ people…very happy, excited Web 2.0 + consumers in the crowd…a LIVE Twitter Taste going on as well, 40+ HD videos, it was BUSY. Gary’s contribution was essential to the Wine 2.0 (www.winetwo.com) event and to the progress, next generation of all things wine. ROCK it Gary! I think the crowd DID pay attention …it was twice as loud before he started.

Don’t miss the next one in SF: March/April 2009

Loved the wines, not that crowd. Sounded like you were at a banker’s convention. Was anyone there actually listening or were they all bullshitting about a bunch of nonsense. Stick with the smaller wine enthusiast venues.

On a lighter note, had the C Donatiello Pinot at the Saratoga Food/Wine Fest earlier this month and it rocked my face off. Glad to see you agree.

Pumped and passionate as always…unfortunately, the venue had too much of a House of Blues on the nose…no matter the greatness onstage, too much yakking at the bar.

Judging from the constant background chatter, except maybe for the closest people, nobody was paying attention to you my lord. I’m sure most of them were probably bombed; tough house to work no doubt.
Smell it first!

88 pts is way too generous for that Veramonte pinot. However, you definetly have proven your talents as a public speaker. Maybe you should run for president instead of the two clowns everybody will be voting for.
