Gary Vaynerchuk is joined with Jimmy Trent, a longtime Vayniac and contest winner. He brought 2 Gran Reserva wines to try from the Utiel-Requena region of Spain.
lines of the day – ‘These wines are like 2 Golden Retrievers, ones a couple of years older. One chilling on the floor and the other one trying too hard, constantly bringing the ball back etc’ and ‘I know more about baseball than anyone in the world’
Absolutely classic episode with a good guest and loads of sports trivia. (For example ‘Jerome Bettis is the biggest choker in the history of sports’)
This must be a mid-week break from the grocery store? 😀

QOTD: I'm retired….but would love to be a one of those guys where hotels send you to all the locations and then you spy on the help and see what's wrong with the place. What do they call that …. a Hotel Spy…??? Yeah…I want to be a Ritz Carlton Hotel Spy!!!! 🙂
gotta be honest…pretty drab show……pretty drab guest.

I guided for quite a while, then commercial fly tying, now designing merchandise. Being able to use fly fishing as an excuse for work is nice. Work is work, but at least trout live in beautiful places:)

Re: Coin flip. December 1974 i'm in the Army, 3rd Armored Division in Frankfurt Germany, “Go Spearhead.” A buddy and I want to spend New Year's Eve elsewhere. It was between London and Rome. Flipped a coin and London won. Coin then went into the beer vending machine in the barracks. (Yes they had beer vending machines).
QOTD: 30 years in Law Enforcement. Do it all over again and it would be the CIA (Culinary Institute of America). I would be a chef-restaurant owner.
GV – Great show, great guest…I dig integrity and good dudes!
QOTD: I am a risk manager for a high net worth insurance company and I'd rather be the lead singer in a rip rockin' band!
KEEP THE COIN!

Didn't really need a guest…we went from very available supermarket wines to mediocre unavailable ones. He was a nice guy anyway.
QOTD: I am a piano instructor, musician, coach for many years. That is what I get paid to do . I would like to be getting paid for tasting, recommending and pairing wines.
I have and it will be up suuuper soon. I’ll link it up and you will be the first person I shoot it too when I get it moving.

Keep the coin!
QOTD: Food Broker/Father/Husband. Do it all over again, I'd like to be a artist/painter.
I was really liking the Classic WLTV format “two bottles of wine and a boy…”

Wow. Great show to come back to after a couple week absence. I always love it when true Vayniacs get on. They shouldn't be counted against the guest total.
QOTD: I am a mortgage loan officer but deep down I really want to be a plain old route driving wine sales rep. I love sales more than anything except my family and my dog (The feeling I get when I close a sale is almost narcotic). Wine comes in closely behind. I figure it would be a great way to combine my two great loves plus I am past the age where I feel like I need to make a half million a year.

Did you work for Vornado?

QOTD: I'm in the fly fishing business and play some music on the side. I suppose I'd like my business to be a tad more successful, but other than that, I'm fine where I am.

Okay, so Gary, you need intensive help from a qualified mental health professional on myriad fronts 🙂 To get you started on the road to recovery I'll mention a couple: 1. You lost a full 50% of your female audience by placing George Clooney in Sean Connery's category. They think that Connery is kinda sexy for an old guy but Clooney is SEXY for any age guy. 2. Specialize on therapy for the delusional. “I know more about baseball than anyone in the world.” I'm very lucky that the mouthful of wine in my mouth at the time didn't end up sprayed all over the monitor. I pray that you seek the help that you so desparately need;-)
QOTD: I'm a big “silver linings” kind of guy so the stroke that I had 9 1/2 years ago allowed me to follow my passion in life-wine and food. I part-time personal chef and cater parties of 30 or under and study and buy wine 20-30 hrs a week. I can't think of anything I'd rather do (stud farm excluded).

Feel free to make random TW references whenever you feel like it guys. Tom rules.

QOTD: I get paid to manage IT networks, and I would love to own a restaurant or winery someday, but I actually would have to say I love IT.
