line of the day – ‘no one is going to roll up on you, cut your tongue with a switchblade and you’re gonna be happy about it. In this instance, I am.’

Crazy, walk around episode featuring the full cast of the Wine Library, AND a packet of Mott’s apple slices. Fun.

    Awesome show Mr. Vaynerchuk, love the spontaneity and how everyone was thrown off. I am in the navy and because of you I have showed dozens of fellow sailors the wonderful world of wine. Thanks again and keep up the amazing work! Big shout out to all on the U.S.S. Jacksonville! -Jamie Norfolk VA

  • Hoo-Hoo! LOVED the show! That’s how my days go at the store EVERY day! Talk about random and distracted, I am all over the place doing a hundred different things at once and having a great time doing them! Looks like a fabulous place to work, too!

    QOTD: Apples? I think of the Sweet Pea Apple wine we sampled in the store this weekend – low alcohol and fresh, crisp and light – perfect for a summer’s day in Dallas.
    Chicken? Hmmm, I don’t eat meat,but when I think of chicken I think of my daughter’s key-chain, a rubber chicken laying an egg – ICK! but that’s what I think of, when you squeeze the rubber (plucked) chicken, it “lays an egg” ~ totally “EEEEWWWWWWW” factor, but fun, too.

    I’m really enjoying the variety. Strayed away for a while, but am now back into the show. Love the spontaneous camera grab. I like the idea of quickly interacting with other people, maybe like recurrent characters similar to the late night show side kicks, or small adventures behind the scenes of their studios.

    QOTD: Chicken – Enchiladas. Apples – How you like dem’?

    Gary, long-time watcher and first-time commenter because I wanted to chime in and say that I loved the spontaneous feel of this episode. That’s what is great about podcasts… you can turn to TV shows if you want that scripted aspect, but sometimes you want something fun to watch that feels like real life. You’re a wonderful, engaging host.

    QOTD: Chicken and apples… two of my favourite foods, that’s what comes to mind.

    Man, when I visited WL I rode the elevator with someone on your staff and it stopped on the 2nd floor… If only I had known, I would have at least stuck my head out and peeked to the left!

    QOTD:

    Chicken = Parm.
    Apples = PIE

    I agree with Kathyd. Nerd it up some more. We may need a real wine maker to answer some of the more serious questions about the influence of weather, oak etc.
    We burnt some chicken tonight with your suggested typical Priorat. Vega Escal. Not bad for 20 bones. Coulda used some MOTTs!

    Hey GV…nice show. However, as I suggested sometime ago, give us the full “backstage” tour of wine library. Let us see where it all happens.

    QOTD: Chicken…..BBQ
    QOTD: Apples……Autumn

    Last year after a Greco di Tufo WLTV episode, I went out to try some. While shopping, I also picked up Falanghina, Fiano, and some other white varietals including the wines of Muscadet de Sevre et Main. I became obsessed with trying white varietals that I had not tried before. I love expanding my palate.

    Nice camera work Mott, keeping up with GV.

  • loved the Apple/chicken thing. !! wow! loved the action! Hope to find that wine… wine sounds great. One store in America has it. haha. So are we reviewing wines or just watching Gary have fun? hmm. Try a wine Library TV with no wines and see if you don’t get the same following… it’s YOU!

    When you say Chicken – I say BBQ
    when you say Apple – I say sauce.

    ugh?

    Gary;
    Watched #701 last night and was suprised that the store had already sold out(???).
    Thanks for the journey into another Italian white – I bought some Verdiso and Pecorino after watching episodes 567 and 627. Lots of little heralded italian varieties out there.

    I had an Ocone red at a restaurant in Sorrento last MAy that was great. I have not found it since. Very little distribution on this maker in the US. DUnno why.

    QOTD:
    Apples – baking
    Chicken – pot pie

    Chicken – Quote from my 4 year old son yesterday, “I am a diabolical chicken nugget!” Not sure, don’t ask.

    Apple – only the finest computing devices on the earth.
