line of the day – ‘It’s like they took a shot of E and went to a rave and are using a lasoo and putting lightsticks in their mouth. These little blueberries are partying all night long.’

Super pumped GV announces his new book and produces a great show – the highlight for me is when Mott gets in front of the camera and say – ‘just dont zoom in on my head’. Guess what Gary does immediately!!!
Awesome

    Glad to see you back, giving Mott face time, and tasting Bandol’s.

    QOTD: Dinner at Noble Fare in Savannah, crushed it (even if the wine didn’t).

    QOTD: Gary, strange way to word the question. If I understand the question, I would say the Oprah/KFC free giveaway (that is until KFC has to give america a rain check).
    Oprah, you crushed it!

    Wellll, I was going to wait until it came out….. but with the possibility of a WRISTBAND involved… I just ordered my copy!!! Can’t wait, even though I’m not much of a businessman myself, I know there will be killer content inside valuable for everyone! PS you’re up to 119 on Amazon’s best sellers ALREADY!!

    Also just FYI, I checked my receipt- Amazon doesn’t put the date of order in the email receipt! So you may need to have people copy & paste their order info from their Amazon account to confirm the date. Just be sure to keep us posted!

    QOTD: RIGHT NOW! I am about to complete my last two days of class & last final of pharmacy school… then onto clinical rotations June 1st!

    Glad to have you back in the saddle. Some pretty interesting wines. I recently visited Napa and Sonoma and rather than paying the winery prices and the problems and cost of shipping, Wine Library is the absolute best place to purchase wine.

    QOTD: Haven’t crushed it in a while, but I’m about to very soon.

    Gary – that episode absolutely crushed it!!! Where do I start… loved your impression of a bear waking up from hibernation, breaking out the big glass for the special occasion, zooming in on MOTT, and rating the priorat 10 points below Wine Advocate.

    QOTD: Game 2 of Capitals vs Penguins in DC when Alex Ovechkin had a hat trick and the Verizon Center was going BERSERK… that crushed it… Tonight losing game 7 by 4 goals was the exact opposite of crushing it…

    I used to be an extreme fan. Have emailed you, churched you up to my friends, backed your validity while other wine folk put you down, used your scores in my store…etc. the time has come to speak the my mind. you’ve let me down. if you don’t believe that you’ve lost something, just research your own archived library of the show. where has the genuine passion gone? thunder cruise…really? i’ll stop now, but damn i could go on. im done watching. have fun plugging your book and your wines. my favorite outlet has lost its way.

    Gary,
    Love the show. Just stated watching about 10 episodes ago. Not much of a wine drinker, but your enthusiasm and passion is starting to change my look at wine.

    Congrats on the book. Looking forward to it.

    QOTD: Quitting an ad agency to work at a startup. Great potential and danger. And I will CRUSH IT!

    QOTD: I cleaned out my car today, including a full wipedown of the dashboard that was caked in pine and oak pollen. I’m feeling pretty darn good about myself.

  • Um Doritos Cool Ranch!

    qotd: Was invited to a wine tasting by some people I met and was told on the phone to bring a wine for a blind tasting, turned out I was the only guy who brought the wine the rest was brought by a food/wine critic and he was reviewing the wines blind. He through mine into the reds. Best part I brought a Southern Rhone, the reds he had were southern Rhones. And mine was the favourite out of them all haha Awesome!

  • eagleputt

    hmmm QOTD. Probably when I hit driver driver on a 555 yard par 5 into the hole for double eagle. Or when my seahawks put the final stake in the jets heart last season to keep them out of the playoffs and shove Favre back into the retirement home from whence he came. Sorry the last wine was meh. or below meh. Seemed to sap your energy a tad.

  • Kevin Poirier

    Only count me in for one book right now since I am at college and don’t have a reliable shipping address…and since it doesn’t come out until October, I want to make sure I have it the day it comes out. But…I went ahead and got the Vaynerchuk bundle and got his older book as well.

    Very siked. Although I am only 18 right now, hopefully I’ll learn how to crush it like no other.

    Keep up the great work Gary.

    QOTD Reading some of the comments about the THUNDER CRUISE CRUSHED IT! I really wish I’d gone. 200 fun winos on a boat. Isn’t that a small number for a bigass boat. Congrats!
    Nice try on the wines today. I think I’ll order some of the Bandol since I love to say Movedre.
    Slight overkill on the book push and I don’t want to help you buy some half assed pigskin team.
