Great show, Happy Birthday!!!!!!! Love the Tastingroom.com concept, I believe that’ ll revolutionize the wine world, whether they like it or not 🙂

Great episode! You should celebrate by visiting Virginia Tech!

Happy 5th B-Day, Gary & Mott. You have done a great job and changed many wine palettes/perceptions along the way. I’m so glad to hear that this won’t be over after 5 years. I agree, it’s still gaining fire and is going strong. I hope you can keep up the pace!

QTD – Episodes with your father. Each one is uniquely special in that it incorpoates a loving bond besides discussing the finer points of wine. Truly special moments!

God Bless! Thanks for all you have done!

Awesome show! Congrats, and thanks for 5 years of edutainment!

Cool show. Always love a behind the scenes tour. I’ve been watching for 3 years now and have seen both the show and you grow in your on-screen personality and your business demeanor. Well done and congrats.

QOTD – Too many to choose one.

Good recommendations from the crew….also, keep your eyes peeled for tastings at local wine shops or restaurants, it’s a great way to try new stuff in the field, and usually whomever is pouring will be able to provide good info to pair with the wine.

Great Anniversary Gary!
QOTD: I’m biased here but I like the Virginia episodes (they’re getting better! try some NC wines!!)
CKC from Virginia Tech! Come down and celebrate your 1000 episode!

Gary congrats man. everybody i introduce the show to loves it and instintly becomes a fan…you’re seriously one entertaining guy, and i think this is really just the start…i’m sure you’ll be getting paid big bucks from the big boy networks soon. Q of the day- being a canadian, it;s got to be the Wayne Gretzky episode…really funny stuff, either Gretzky was drunk or hung over or really weirded out by you…really loved it. YA CHEERS BROTHER! Rock out some Canadian Wines Soon, not nearly enough Canadian wines on the show.

This is what the comment section is all about. Feedback to GV and also building a community. We fans here in Northern California just had our first “Vayniac Wine Summit” meeting in the Bay Area (thanks castello), and are planning another in Las Vegas this October (thanks “JustJack” Norton). btw As you may have seen from some of the other recent comments, the words “spit” and “bucket” will be prominently featured in Las Vegas… 🙂
Cheers to our Canadian friends!

Kender og kender er måske også en overdrivelse. Han har serveret vin for mine venner og jeg til div. arrangementer, sidst hvor jeg selv var “vært”.
Historie. Total nørdet. Måske derfor ikke så overraskende med vininteressen. he he.

Hey Gary V 5 years that pretty epic. I have a proposition even more epic for you, if you come visit us at Virginia Tech we basically all get A’s in Boyer’s class. Just think about how awesome it would be to have the power to give a class of about 500 students all A’s just for showing up for a day.
CKC’s VT… congrats!

Congratulations on your anniversary! Well-earned compliments from all around the world. Fascinating how popular you’ve become in such a short time.
QOTD: lots of episodes when you do weird stuff like “How Does The Weather Affect Wine?” – Episode #182

For at købe vin i WL, selvfølgelig! Og nå ja, så har jeg familie i nærheden… 🙂

mazel mazel mazel….cant stop now when you’re riding high amongst the waves (ok, that’s a pearl Jam reference). Now if u can get Eddie Vedder on the show, then you’ve reached the pinnacle. Who else goes through 2 bottles per concert?

I still think my fav episode is the “train your palate” series

Very Funny! 😉

Brad,
didn’t realize you made your Gretzky comment before me… I guess us Canadian folks think on similar lines.

Nice show (lighting could have been better) and congratulations for 5 years of great wine shows! I KNOW that good white wines can last and age and the first two wines here have my interest and I love this anniversary deal at The TastingRoom!

QOTD: I don’t know if I could pick one moment. But the one where you prove how the Riedel stemware does make a difference in how the wine tastes!

d’oh! On the same day that WLTV enjoys it’s 5th birthday, Jo Diaz dismisses all of GV’s innovations, and disses him at the same time, in one short comment on her blog.

QOTD: So far I don’t have a favorite moment, but I love your enthusiasm for changing the wine world.
Congratulations on 5 years! I’m embarassed to say I just discovered your site and I am fevereshly trying to catch up!

Don’t encourage him. He’s too much of a trouble maker for my “pah-lette” ;-P

I want more comments for my 5 year!

I want more videos here and on garyvaynerchuk.com. 😉
We are such needy things aren’t we Gary? 😛
