Happy 4th!

SASHA: I have to call you out for the politics comment. I remember an episode back in 2008 (maybe '07) when Bush was still in office. You stated that you DID NOT understand why people were attacking the president. You believed that because we vote as a nation, and as a nation we choose our leader that we should support that leader. Then we get to vote again 4 years later. 🙂 I saw you almost start bagging on the prez…

Love you guys. Keep up the good work. I am drinking a Malbec from Mendoza as I watched your episode and typed this comment.

bhlana, I have been to the Super Tasting the last four years (pretty sure it's only been held 4 yrs), BEST VALUE hands down of any wine tasting event with fantastic food at The Manor and the quantity and quality of the wine poured. I go to a ton of wine events, WS's WE's and the Boston, D.C. and NY expo's and none compare to the WL's Super Tasting. Glad it's only a 1 hr car servive not a plane ride. 🙂 winelx.com

Sasha knows how to make a party. Forget about the political situation though. WL is a very accomodating business. Expand the gourmet department. 🙂

Tried the 2002 Poesia (Argentina) Cab-Melbed blend. Had with steak. On it's own it tastes like a vat of melted licorice(in a good way)with some Tabasco mixed in. Yum.

love the show
QOTD put a map on the wall for a zoom in opportunity

Wow, 4 years! Happy Anniversary Wine Library TV (Feb 21st is also my mom's birthday BTW)

I agree that when it comes to wines, it's the style that makes a distinction from the price that you're willing to pay, if you can pair it well that's awesome (I may be biased, I like trying wines with food 99% of the time, and if it's new to me even better), still expensive wines deserve a taste regardless of the “score”.

QOTD: Something you could do is find a way to make international shipments or branch/franchise out of NJ/USA, can you imagine one store in every country (in the very least on four other countries, mine included), that would be grand, also I know very difficult but a think to ponder.

Good show, Sasha's a great guest always. Cheers Gary Vee and Mott!

Happy 4 years GV, always love the Sasha episodes.

QOTD1: Of course not, look at small buisness

QOTD2: How about more get togethers at the store GV?

Big G and Sasha you guys are the best.

QOTD: You already do so much for your customers. Just keep doing what you do.

QOTD: Improve the website, especially the search aspect; when you type in “Champagne” it should list only French champagnes, not Asti, not Cava, not Cook's. I typed in 'French Champagne' and the first wine was a Spanish Cava. I can't order anyway (Okla), but breaking wines down by region, then varietal would be a start.

Great episode! Here is to another 4 years!

Happy 4 and here is the your eighth anniversary show being in the Jets owners box.

I love it when he gets you into trouble Gary!
QOD1: Yes the economy is getting better. We are growing modestly and some jobs are returning. Just don't expect the excess of the last 14 years to be possible again.
QOD2: You need to show us poor grad students how to shop for wine. We can buy inexpensive wines and go do tastings but when your in the store its tough to pick a good bottle on your own.
QOD3: Canada, Russia, USA 1,2,3 on the podium

If I can dream its a solid one

Congrats on 4 glad i was around for the last two. Always something new and interesting talked about and original. I will have to agree wish Sasha on his predictions for Hockey.

QOTD: Improve on the website it is very hard for me to navigate. Looking at the main page it only has your tops list presale and futures list. If it also had a section that started broad like France and worked it down to more specific it would be much more helpful when you have no idea what your interested in buying.

I liked the one you linked up the video for cause I had never heard it before.

Gents, great show! Thank you for inviting us into your home for such a great episode. You two are brilliant and it is a joy to watch the unstructured format….it's like a thursday night dinner with my dad!
With regards to the FU Shiraz….I've had this wine and it wasn't for me. Australia has a hell of a lot more to offer than these fruit bombs. I think Gary nailed it with his descriptions. For me this is an interesting wine to taste but very hard to drink. I have followed Jay Miller and Parker scores before and I have always been let down with their Down Under reviews….monsters wines, high alcohol, high tannins, too much oak and the ones in my cellar have fallen over, they now taste broad and hot! Thank you for your honest (and not scathing) review of this wine. Keep up the good work.

Happy 4th Homey!!!

Sasha……..gotta love em'

QOTD: When banks are paying less than 2% on a CD…….you know it ain't getting better.

You've got to love the Sasha shows! I wonder how many people tried finding the cinderella.com porn site — of course I wasn't one of them.

TQOTD: Great websites — I don't have any recommendations. Too bad you don't ship to Michigan (yet).

Where is your beer blog? Love Beeeeeeeeeeer!

Wow, Sasha on 4th Anniversary. My favorite guest by far. And this episode didn't disappoint.

It's always a cliff hanger waiting for the question of the day….and I love the affection you two have.

QOTD: Really like Gourmet Library, think it has a ton of potential. Would start introducing some of the people that run that side of the shop to the Vaynernation and please start pushing cross-sells more agressively (wine / cheese / meats, etc.).

Would make perfect sense to have a 'Pairing Club' version of a 'Wine Club' where you can sign up to receive a different wine / cheese pairing each month.

HAPPY 4th ANNIVERSARY GV

I?ve been watching WLTV for years and have been entertained and educated every time I tuned in, but when you and your dad are on together it just makes me feel happy, and every thing is good when your happy.

Thank you for four years and hopefully many, many more.

QOTD
I?m a cash and carry kind of guy so to me the best way to improve Wine Library would be if you opened a store in San Diego Ca.

Thank Again
EddyJ

you two are always a hoot!! and congrats on 4 years of wltv!

qotd: simple, more episodes with sasha

Great show, always love it when Sasha makes an appearance. Also I wish that you guys would talk hockey more often. As a Michiganian I'm big big big on hockey. I was in a restaurant full of Canadians watching the hockey game last night and I was glowing with pride for the U.S.A. I like your dad's prediction except that I think that Sweden is going to take the bronze over Canada.

QOTD: The one thing you guys could do to improve Wine Library and Cinderella Wine for me would be to ship to Michigan because I can't buy all this great stuff you guys are putting up! I know it's a government/legal issue but you guys have gotta have some influence right? Maybe not, but that's all I've got.

Again great show, can't wait for the next one as always.

I have been an avid follower for less than a year. Congrats on the milestone. I look forward to following WLTV for the next four years.

QOTD: I really like episode where you feature a less known grape varietals. They get me to want to try something new. Please dedicate a few more episode on this theme. Also, I'd love a couple of shows that feature incredible under $20 values accross a variety of varietals (i.e., the five best california cabs under $20).

Hi Gary,
I'm new to you!! Love, love, love the relationship you have with your father!!! Love your passion!! Love that you're affectionate with him and he with you. Oh yeah and I love your wine talk!! I jest, that's why I was watching you, for the wine talk. You gotta have passion baby!! Hey how about coming to Toronto and chat with me about your book and your passion. Talk to me!

ha ha! just got to the part where Sasha asks for food…classic!
