    The few times I’ve flown, and the few trains I’ve taken have been all about the screwdriver! And lots of them! I can’t wait to visit Wine Library on or around April 17!

  • Haha, is there such thing as a memorable wine on an airplane? That’s like hearing memorable music in an airport. It just doesn’t happen.

    I guess the best wine I’ve had on a plane was on a Singapore Airlines flight, back before I knew anything about wine. The choices were white and red, and I had the red.

    QOTD: When it comes to planes (or airports) I only drink one thing… Bloody Mary!

    What up GaryVee?!? Liked this episode…though it should have been dubbed The Mile High Show! …are you a member?? 🙂

    Caught you at the AZ Entrep Conf last Nov…and live stream with On The Road With iV a few weeks ago. Big fan from a business/brand mgmt perspective. Looking forward to catching up with you in AZ again soon. Cheers!

    QOTD: I’m in Phx, so pretty much anything alcoholic works well to get the party started on the short jaunt to LV. VEGAS BABY!!

    Never really had a good drink on an airplane. Maybe a mimosa?

    Great micro-show, Gary – especially dug the flying peanut powder. Drinking Vendange in a Southwest flying can. Can you do the next episode where you’re drinking Boone’s Farm in an alley somewhere? 🙂

    This is to funny, recording while on the plane! I know that wine sucks, I’ve had it a few times.

    QOTD: I was sitting in first class one time in the mid 90’s at Miami International on American Airlines and they served Grich Hills Chardonnay. That was the best I have ever had on a plane.

    Little known fact when you fly Southwest Airlines get Herb’s favorite drink, Wild Turkey!

  • BobbyTiger

    I rarely drink ANYTHING on an airplane, as I have a phobia about going to the bathroom. I know……..but it’s me.
    Thanks for the review tonight. It doesn’t have to be long winded, have guests, multiple samples, or the like, to be (what I consider), an interesting show.
    Thanks very much for allowing us to join you on your flight.

    I never knew that overhead light was so bright after you put down the camera to test the peanuts pairing. This was a good short show under trying conditions.
    QOTD: Budvar on Czech Air flight in 1993 discovered how good beer really tasted.

    Tried to get very drunk on 15 strength Cape Shiraz mini bottles (don’t remember the brand)on a long haul to South Africa from London, as I have trouble sleeping on flights. I drank around 10 of the little buggers, couldn’t get to sleep, but got very drunk. The wine tasted of tar and burnt blackberry jam, and the ridiculously high alcohol content just shot straight into my bloodstream A real humdinger of a thing. I spent the next 10 hours with a headache from hell. So I amused myself by watching 4 (yes 4) back to back in-flight movies. Not one of my best wine memories.

  • wrollcia

    I dont think I have ever had a drink on the plane, but with gv 2cents, it will not be the Vendage 2006 cab sav.
    Thanks

    QOTD: Ginger Ale. I get dehydrated enough without adding alcohol into the equation.

    An unexpected, but fun episode. Thanks!

  • Jason

    That was incredibly entertaining. When the peanuts came I almost laughed out loud. Great stuff…did the passenger next to you say anything about today’s “show”?

  • gomestar

    Great show Gary!! Sure, the wine was crappy, but I found this episode to be hilarious.

    QOTD: Heineken. Not because it was spectacular, but because it was free on Air France.

    To tell the truth, what I mostly want on a plane is water!

    Too funny – I wonder what the people around you were thinking?

    QOTD – I don’t remember the vineyard but flying first class once we were introduced to malbec and have since become fans.

  • Kevin K

    Fun show. Thanks for bringing the (subdued) thunder.

    QOTD: Best wine I’ve ever had on a plane was the only wine I’ve had on a plane. It was a non-labeled red (tasted like Shiraz) from Rome to JFK. Self serve. We got wasted!

    On the planes I drink tomato juice. And, if I’m feeling the need to unwind, I make an airplane version of a Bloody Mary. I like the way the tomato juice clings to my airplane ice cubes. It always seems that this plastic-cupped airplane beverage goes on and on and on and on….

  • jason

    friggin awesome!
    who cares about snakes on a plane?
    qotd – i was on air france a few years ago, in coach and they served me champagne and cognac free!
    peace
    fly the friendly skies dude

  • Ronny K

    Funny episode, I am flying Southwest tomorrow (I’m actually a pilot for another airline).

    I always drink bloody mary’s when I’m a passenger too, why is it that so many people like that drink in the sky?

    So my best drink was a double grey goose bloody mary on USA 3000 Philly to Cancun earlier this year.
