Fried chicken, mashed potatoes & cole slaw? Just like you mentioned in the ustream chat, you need to come down to Atlanta. Watershed Restaurant in Decatur makes some SICK fried chicken…

[Direction – Gary and Mott switch places so Mott can critique the wine, Mott sits down in front of the camera, and raises the glass to his nose.]
Mott: “Don’t zoom in on my head again”
Gary: “I won’t, how to I zoom out?”
[Direction – Gary now running the camera then zooms in as tight as he can on Mott’s face as he smells and tastes the wine; the viewers laugh]
Mott: “Berries?”
[Direction – more banter between Gary and Mott, Gary then zooms back out after 20-30 seconds of extreme close-up and attempts to restore the original zoom-ratio, however he zooms out too far; they exchange places once again and the show continues.]

QOTD: Sometimes timing is everyting (well lots of the time) and I absolutely crushed it with the timing of a situation and everything just fell into place just as the Universe intended. It’s like hitting a golf ball pure “on the screws” and litterally crushing it so far that it hardly feels like you even hit the ball with any effort…now that’s crushing it 300+ yards out.

Congratulations on the book!
QOTD: I would say that my first experience with biodynamic wine last night “crushed it”. It was an ’07 Pulse Pinot Noir and it was amazing. Now I have to go watch your episode on biodynamic wines that my friend Jade from Portland has been talking about. Thanks for the show!

GARY!!!
Congrats on the book!
I ordered, Crush It..why NOW is the time to cash in on your passion…except, by NOW, you mean October! LOL Im looking forward to it!!!
xoxo

QOTD: Too personal so share the details, but I did have a time when I felt NOTHING could stop me..NOTHING could change the good…
😉

Luv ya Gary!!!!

QOTD – When I woke up the other day and realized I’m going to start crushing it.

Great episode Gary (as always) and congratulations on the book! Definitely going to place an order, can’t wait to read it!

That show crushed it!

Good to have you back. I’ve been looking for Bandol wine for a long time (something like 300 WLTV episodes ago) but it’s difficult to find it premium locally.

Great thing about the book, will order one, for sure.

QOTD: When I ‘flew solo’ for the first time!

QOTD: For better or worse, this was before I knew you existed.

I decided that, whether or not my university could support me in this endeavor, that I would go into the video games industry. Having no one around to mentor me, I emptied my bank account into a plane ticket to San Francisco and a one-day Student Pass to the annual Game Developer’s Conference in the Moscone Center. I called up the parents of a recently-acquainted friend who’s mother then drove me where I needed to go. I brought 500 business cards and 12 resumes. I crushed it more than I had before or since, and got asked to interviews and jobs since.

On that same note, I owe my career to that good friend and his family. FAMILY AND FRIENDS ARE BETTER THAN MONEY! Or stuff… or career… you name it.

Hey Gary, I just love Priorat wines. Have you tried the Los 800 Priorat 2004 for less than 20 US Bones it’s a pretty good play for my PAL…try it out, I DARE you & let us know what you think of it!!!

Norm from the great white North
PS: Give a shout out to the FOUDUVIN.CA it’s a huge wine Blog up here in the Quebec province and a lot of people, including yours truly, really promote your episodes for bringing the thunder everyday!!! Long live WLTV!

Helloooo Gary,
Thank you for being an inspiration and sparking my journey into expanding my pallet. YOU ARE DA MAN!!!!! Congrats on the book , just ordered the first one and pre-ordered the second , can’t wait for October for its delivery.

YOU and MOTT ROCK!

Nice show, pre-ordered the book on Amazon (hope they ship it to Canada), and keep on crushing it! 🙂

QOTD: I found a wine about a month back (2007 Gray Monk Ehrenfelser) that I was trying to find for almost a year, and I found one in restaurant in Tofino,BC,Canada and it totally “crushed it” (such a cool phrase, it going in my phrase book now).

In for two! (pre-orders)

Looking forward to some wristbands! woohoo, finally I will be in on a wristband opportunity 🙂

QOTD: The last situation that “crushed it” was me realizing that I am married to an AWESOME gal.

Hey Gary – Congrats on the BOOK….Need to get me one!!!

Love the Priorats – had the pleasure of working in the region in vintage 05!!

QOTD…..What crushed it for me was discovering Gary Vaynerchuk….From Humble beginnings……hustling your way to the top & beyond!! This has taught me that anyone can follow their passion as long as you have focus and hunger. For me this is happening. I have been procrastinating about producing a wine label for 5 years now and nothing has been done…until now!!! All my energies are going into my wine label and now I have a label/wine/passion and chops to go out and sell a product that people will enjoy…THIS IS ONLY THE START…Thanks Gary for your passion and belief that anyone can do anything

Congrats on the book-I can not wait to see you explain how me putting your head on funny pictures made you the success you are today- I would imagine I have a few chapters

I thought books were old school and not radool?

Please tell me that half of the book is not quotes from other people

2 for me. And a new wristband. I need it (see below):

QOTD: Party crew of 20 on my 38 foot sailboat (crowded), anchored out all night, we partied like mad. I told everyony to make themselves at home, inc. food and drink – open anything they wanted on the boat – beer, liquor, wine. Didn’t realize ppl would find my stash of better wine (cellared in a lazarette) til we were all drinking out of bottles on the below-decks impromptu dance floor and someone passed me a bottle of what I thought was Barefoot but was in fact an Arista Pinot. That and all the hard-earned fruits of my last trip to Napa Valley were all open. No choice but to roll with it, so I threw on a Vayner-Nation wrist band, and had an even better night. The wrist band went over very well. And went overboard very well, as well, when the party went above decks. The crew and I definitely CRUSHED IT that night.

New car smell- I mean I guess if you roll on Daddy’s coin you know what new leather smells like ina new car- New car smell for me is Pine Tree air freshner in a 10 year old car with cigarrete burns in the seats-

You pompous ass!

Thank god no Eggnog reference

QOTD: I crushed my scale
