EP 1000 Episode 1,000

Gary Vaynerchuk has finally made it to episode 1,000 of Wine Library TV! It’s been an amazing ride since that day in February 2006, with great guests, amazing (and sometimes awful) wines, as well as a lot of Jets talk. Today, the main focus is a huge thank you to all the Vayniacs who helped make this community…and a huge announcement from Gary.

Wines tasted in this episode:

    I like it, gives a new character to the “old” WLTV forum and fosters comradery among the few of us left here.

  • so why isn’t Daily Grape a part of WL Network?

  • Anonymous

    Because he is making money off of DG now. 🙁

    I will buy my book of the Thank You Economy when episode 1001 is posted 😉

    TTF … Lost a dear friend last night 3/23/11 (Laine Boras). We shared many great wine moments. Will be raising a glass of Scarecrow in her honor tonight. May not be in a mood to review this wine, but will on my next bottle opened.

  • Sorry to hear of your loss tennispro. It’s always tough to lose a dear friend.

    TTF: Tonight our thoughts and prayers are with you. That’s more important.

    much appreciated ……

  • THANK YOU, Gary. You are an amazing guy that continues to share such valuable content.

    I am far from being mad at you, more just the opposite. Did you not read my first comment early on in this comment section. Maybe you need to look it up, that is if you had missed it.

    Because I liked what we had here and want a bit of this magic over at DG, and that makes me “Snarkey”? Wow. Sounds like someone is a little thin skinned. 🙁

    Also very sorry tennis. Hope your toasting the life of a dear friend brings you happy memories.

    Thanks Kmurph. 😉 Glad you enjoyed the bubbles.

    Oh, and by the way I would be more than happy to speak with you anytime, in person, on the phone, over e-mails, passing texts back and forth, or even when you happen to be in the Chicago area. That would be my pleasure. 😉

    I second this, Gary. We love you.

    Prost, sorry to hear that. May the good out weigh the bad.

    Here *passes the lemon pledge* I’ll go try and combat some of these cobwebs building up in the corners…

    Much like your request of us, you also must give us time to ease into the new format. I share similar sentiments with some of my fellow commentators regarding the “feel” of the new comment section. Many improvements have been made (very quickly I might add) But in my opinion it still lacks the warmth (and sometimes fire) of the old comment section. I am sure, much like WLTV, DG will continue to evolve and branch out over time.

    I’ve now seen Daily Grape and I’m loving it. I’ll always look fondly upon this format, and will appreciate the WLTV episodes that much more if and when they start… Daily Grape has impressed me though. I like it a lot. Good idea Gary! Love it….

  • ffff

  • my dear grilfriend served three kinds of waffels tonight and since the first was with red onion, sour cream and caviar I opened a white CdP 09 ( Domaine de Vieux Calcernier) just to try.
    In some sort of Gary lingo this was a flowerbed bottled, with lot’s of asian pear and starfruit in the mix, some stinky sting way back and that crushed rock that dry whites can show. The weight on the tounge when tasting is remarklabe, heavy stuff, and the flavours ranges from white blossom to elderberry with asian pear, sharon fruit and crushed white pepper mixed with chili and limestone. A nice tart mid palate and the back end brings a small sweet hint and a smooth but peppery feel. This one opend a couple of years to early, maybe. But who cares, It’s friday 🙂

  • Now THAT’S what I’m talking about! Though I must beg the question, I thought waffles were served with blueberry syrup, strawberries and other goodies like whipped cream? Red onion, sour cream and caviar? These are not “stroopwaffels” but good ole waffles?

    Great review of the wine. I’m actually having a white Burgundy “Chat de Cary Potet” (Les Jardins) which is quite nice as an apertif but will follow it up with a Rock and a Hard Place “Barrel 27” Grenache from CA. I’ve been getting into Grenache lately and this was the recommendation at my local wine shop.

    Please send the recipe if your girlfriend allows it. 😉

    Cheers!

    Sounds amazing!! Keep posting, I am having roasted duck tomorrow and will be sure and post a review of whatever I drink with it.

  • I am plenty thick skinned 🙂 just razzing a tad, thnx bro!

  • Actually first was a whole grain waffle, the second same base but topped with ham , avocado and cream cheese and the third was an old style dessert with fresh strawberry, blueberry jam and whipped cream…. things like this is not god for the figure

    last night my fiance and i had mussells steamed in white wine, onion, garlic and paired with a greco di tufo. the greco was a little too big and round for the mussells and overpowered them a bit. individually they were both awesome. the greco almost had vinho verde flavor profile on the nose (very fresh apple, pear) but had more power and decent acidity on the tail end of the mid-palate and an interesting sourpatch kid bite leading into the finish. I can see the Greco being an awesome summer porch wine for a cookout served a little chilled. The delicioius factor faded a bit and I started to notice the 12.5% alc at room temp.

  • Don Simpson

    Gary you never sleep! All hustle, all killer, no filler. You did deliver DG, as promised, we knew you would. Does this mean you can never take vacation?!?! Or, are you going to record DG on vacation? Little Misch guest appearance!!!

  • Don Simpson

    Does anyone know what Mott is doing now? Is he part of the Daily Grape tech team?

  • That is really good comfort food. Very nice.

    It’s not good for the figure but sure is good for the soul.

    Cheers!

    P.S. I’m prepping an orzo, zucchini, red onion appetizer with some herbs such as mint and Italian parsley for a birthday bash. I’m guessing a Pinot Grigio or may take a Kreikos from Greece. I will give my review later this evening.

  • I actually keep in touch with him and he is doing well back at the old homestead. We do miss him.

  • NY Pete

    you probably have the thickest skin on the planet.

    NWI Dan, my “people” are in the process of determining whether appearances on DG will be positive for my personal “brand”…..but I will be making an annoucement soon….most likely via Twitter.

    (just kidding……just been really busy at work) 🙂

    Just catching up, a little late to the party….CONGRATULATIONS on the 1000th show! Just unbelievable….. as all good things in life, they come to an end but the best is yet to come. I wish you continue success and good luck although I don’t think you will need any, the Daily Grape looks to have picked up where you left off —only better. Thanks Gary.

  • DG eps 7, 8, & 9 were better than the first few… maybe the aging process (and user feedback) is having a positive effect.

    @Dominus, I was out Friday buying some vino and I was looking for that Lato. Couldn’t find it. I liked your suggestion though, us all getting it and conversing about it right here on WLTV. May have to go to the winery site and get on the mailing list just to get it since there was such a small quantity. A group hug is definitely in order. 😛

    I want my guest appearance this week GV! Give it to me, give it to me noooowwwww!!!!!!!!!! 😛

  • Great writing Don. I aslo find Greco very crisp. with the best steamed musselles I ever had ( in Trebe, Minervois, France) I had a local Minervois rosé, chilled, at the waiters recommendation. Really nice.

  • why dont we tape some episodes and then ask Mott to post them here 😀

    Can we send this episode off with 1000 comments, my friends? 1k for 1K?
