I just got to say love the value play wines since i'm a ckc. And I'm getting more and more of my friends to jump on the wine band wagon now that I'm making an effort to drink more wine.
Qotd: That's the average amount of money I get every week for donating plasma. Covers my bar expenses which is a lifesaver right now lol.

Most women i know drink white wine…. but my friend anna is an exception!

Yeppi! Thanks man, I think the standard Laphroaig is one of the best out there….

Although, Ardbeg i probably my favourite. Love the smoke. But not a smoker…. A bit of Nightmare on Wax occasionally…. Chill Out Style!

Rock on CR5

You must be in florida 🙂

CR5, I have no problem stating that I enjoy white wines, usually like to start an evening with a glass of white (Chardonnay and Viognier are my favs) then more on to a red wine. I find many white wines complex and most give good nose, but feel that red wines bring the thunder on a more consistent babis. winelx.com

Im surprised anybody remembers that

“triple take”, that is hilarious. as is your screenmane steakmonster! i love it!

Where have my two good friends gone: castello & bfr1028/DJ keith?

Vacation, eh…

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Veynerchuk! 35 is how old I was when I met my husband. I hope we have as many years together as your parents.

; )

I have to admit that I tend to like it on its own in small amounts in a tumbler, no ice…but my wife thinks I am nuts.
The most traditional use is the Pisco Sour…it is the cocktail drink of choice at most of the parties I've been to in Chile, and is often served as a before-dinner drink. It's basically a permutation on the whiskey sour, and you can find a number of variations online. Egg whites or not, lemons vs limes, no ice, just chilled on it, or with crushed ice inside it. We had one one time that used ginger and honey (instead of simple syrup) that was pretty yummy. The nice part is that you can sweeten or sour the recipe to your own taste. I guarantee that if you share it with some friends like that, you'll be wondering where you can find another bottle before long.
Just watch out for the debates about who invented pisco, the Peruvians or Chileans, and who makes the better pisco sour. They are all good.
Cheers!

Or maybe Oz Clarke, i've said this before…

Will is a funny man…!

QOTD: Wassup Gary Vee!! When I see the #35 I think of Rich Aurilia!!! Brooklyn Native!!! He’s was the Shortstop for the S.F. Giants since the mis 90’s!!! He’s a fan favourite here!! With that, Rich AUrilia and Dave Roberts started their own wine label called Red Stich wine you should check em’ out. Wine maker is Rolando Herrera (Mi Sueño Winery) I would love for you to have Rich and Dave on your show!! http://www.redstitchwine.com
PLease check it out!!! Baseball Players turned wine makers!!!

I'm all about the value plays as a recently graduated ckc I recently picked up garnacha del fuego. ive heard great things for it's price point. Let me know if you have any recommendations.

i don't have any specific wines that come to mind immediately. i usually stay away from cali because they are way over priced. for sparkling i love me my braccheto, for reds malbecs are great value play for me…especially argentinan malbecs. but a lot of this depends on your pallete. another thing that helps me is going to the more unusual locations like washington state, texas, etc.

I'd have to say my all-time favorite guest on the show would be me. What an awesome experience that would be.

Really enjoyed the tribute to your parents, Gary. Family is a very important thing to me too so I like seeing that it still means something to others as well.

QOTD: 35 is the number of different grape varieties I've tasted thus far in my wine journey. I've got a notebook to keep track and every time I find a new one I add it to the list. Granted in order for it to count it has to make up the majority of the blend in the bottle.

Keep 'em coming, Gary. I'm learning something new everyday and knowledge is power.

Lurker here!!

Hey Gary, would like to ask your opinions on what do you think of this French wine fraud case??

hmmmmmmmmmmm how did i get the same name as you…great

alan you are a replying MACHINE on here hahaha

QOTD- (Let me get this one out of the way first). I don't think anything, (one way or the other), about the # 35.
Now, the Torrontes. Love the stuff, and am actually drinking a Mendoza Station, 2008 Torrontes as I view the video.
When I saw the three bottles, I just knew that the Crios would win the taste test. I have had several bottles of the wine, including this past week end, and it never has let me down in the three years I have been enjoying it.
However, La Yuta? What is this?
If I can find it, I will be sure to grab a bottle, (or two), as it has to be pretty good stuff to beat the Crios, (in my opinion).
Alta Vista, (about $13.00, and Alamos, $9.00) also make a pretty good Torrontes).
A very nice show to compliment a great wine.

Good question though from the responses it's a guest who has YET to be on the show. Seeing Gary and GW would be the hizzy for me. That would be some funny s*** (stuf).

I tried Layunta (last year) and liked it. I got a creme brule' on the finish. Lighter wine, great price. Sort of like a pinot grigio. I've go t four bottles in my cellar-will drink in the Spring and Summer.

@cellarrat5: I don’t think so, that perception doesn’t reflect any of the men or women that I know. Most people I know are dedicated red drinkers, a few strong white lovers, and far less give them equal play.

Speaking of little play, Rose is what really gets shat upon, and there are some great dry sparkling rose wines out there!

P.S. I did not see you at the DC Wine Expo. I was there with my “original” Vayner wristband. 🙂
