line of the day – ‘perception is bullshit’

Hilarious. I doubt if there is a subject that Gary and his old man can’t argue about and as usual it’s a load of fun. What makes it even better is that Sacha is the one person who can get the better of Vaynerchuk junior and that’s a rare event.

    Never seen an episode of WLTV with your dad before! I loved him as a guest! The dynamic between you two is too funny. He’s more subtle than you, but just as spunky when he needs to be. I see his point in the $5 wine. For 5 bones, you can’t expect to be blown away. If there’s some elements of palatability, there’s probably a time and place for it, even if it’s crappy as a true Cabernet. Keep on truckin’ Gary.

    Most entertaining episode you’ve done in awhile. I LOVE your dad! Please bring him back when you have better wines to argue about . . . and let him talk more next time, okay?

    Wishing blessings to you and your family. Oh, and “Bless you, Mott!”

    Sasha – How can you taste anything after eating gefilte fish? Great show very entertaining.

  • You and your dad absolutely crack me up. The banter between you two is like I had with my dad who I always think about at Passover. Can’t say that I have had any of the wines but I bought several of the previous episode kosher wines to have for this year.
    This, for me is the worst financial crisis I have seen since I have been and adult. Not a depression certainly as I remember my parents and in laws talk about the depression but certainly worse than early to mid ’70’s. Let’s call it a repression.

    Very entertaining show. As someone who lost his beloved father at a young age, I can really appreciate it. QOTD: Unfortunately, with all of the good efforts to stimulate the economy (President Obama is trying to do the right thing with the stimulus), the international economic problems are far more profound than many people understand. The stock market will dip again in a big way and, more importantly, unemployment will continue to grow for many, many months.

    QOTD: I hope soon….by the end of the year.

    We love you Sasha!! Great fun and entertaining episode. Maybe Gary can follow-up with the name of the Portugese wine that blew you away.

  • Abbe Faria

    This was an absolute CLASSIC. I loved that Sasha had the bigger glass.
    Funny, but the dynamics between the two remind me so much of me and my dad…

    QOTD: It depends where in the world. In the US it looks like the recovery is starting already. In Argentina, where I live, people are predicting a recovery by mid 2010 if we´re lucky.
    And Sasha, we want you back on the show sooner next time!

    Hi Gary,
    I didn’t know where to ask this, can I get your opinion on Monte Majone Toscana 2003, was told it is about 70% sangiovese and rest grapes from France to give it depth. I tried it and it was nice,
    I just don’t know if I am getting my money’s worth. It is around 16 dollars a bottle (750ml).

    Your opinion is greatly appreciated!!!

    OMG; it’s been said “that was the best show ever” this was! Unbeatable. Sasha is the only one that can interrupt you Gary and the only one that you can’t get away with interrupting!

    QOTD: Keep this a wine show, stay out of politics.

    perception is bullshit, but this show was fck’n hilarious. sebastion was cute. the cabernet banter was priceless. you should have sasha review a wine with you at least once a week. i kinda agree with both of you guys. it is a wine that one could drink easily on a carefree weekend, but at the same time, why would I want a cabernet that tastes anything remotely similar to a beaujolais? bytheway, i would totally watch sasha’s political blog. “mott, you can take you shirt off”

    Screw cap vs. Cork, the debate continues. Here’s a video of Michel Laroche and wine spectator’s Bruce Sanderson tasting the same wine that has been aged for four years, one in screw cap and one in cork.

    Gotta love a guest who is less hospitable to other people’s opinions on wines than you are Gary. I loved how your Dad didn’t feel bad picking a fight. I could watch this episode 20 times – priceless!

    QOTD: unfortunately I think the recession will last longer and be harsher than most anticipate. Graduating in this environment is going to be rough.

  • My favorite show of all-time.

    The look on your face Gary when your Dad brought up Obama, and kept going back to it was priceless.

    MUST, must have him on regularly.

    Great familiar episode GV. The thundershow would even greater if you would travel around the world, with your dad, visiting the best wine makers, i`m convinced about it… Greets from Argentina.

  • Thanks for the Dad episode. It reminded me of my (passed away) Dad, they could have been brothers. Priceless.

    QOTD: I didn’t vote for either candidate (gave my political money to Ron Paul). Would love President’s plan to do well – as I’ll do well in it’s wake if it happens. Economic future prediction: bottom in late Summer – Early Fall. Slow clawing back. Will depend mainly on future decisions, hence no way but to guess when real recovery will occur. Key will be Obama’s decisions in Winter of 2009/2010.

  • I am sorry Mr. Vaynerchuk, but my Pens are taking down your Devils in the first round… Nothing personal, we’re just better 🙂

    QotD: Not sure when it will “end”, but I think it’ll start to turn around Q3 of 09.

    As for supporting the President… I’m sorry, but if I do not agree with his policies I simply cannot back him just because he beat my horse. It is different than supporting our military, because they do not make the decisions, they simply follow orders issued by the President to protect us. That is why they deserve our unwavering support.

    I do pray that the decisions he makes are best for the country even if I do not agree. Part of a democracy is the ability to disagree, and I’m taking every chance I get 🙂

    Sasha is definitely my favorite guest. Gary, I enjoy every show, but the chemistry is really perfect for a great piece of entertainment when your dad visits.

    Please let us know what Portuguese wine you liked so much, Sasha. I’d love to find it and try it myself.

    QOTD: Late fall, early winter

    Great show Sasha and Gary! Good job calling Gary out on trusting your own palate, keeping it honest and real. Happy Passover.
    QOTD: I hope that a sense of optimism will pull us out of this economic funk faster than the mechanics of the system expect.

  • Chris Davis

    Original Vayniac. Haven’t commented in a while but Sasha made me do it. Put a fork in that mans hand and he is WLTV gold(I am thinking back to the birthday cake episode).

    QOTD – 18 months.
