Wine Library TV -- Episode #1,001

[@dannyphantomvision]

HOLY SHIT, NO WAYYYYY. OMG. NO WORDS, AMAZING sorry for all caps

[@mtb1hero]

You look 10 times better now than you did 10 yrs ago! 👍

[@SamirPatnaik]

truth

[@Bloodyjdc]

Thats the resolution

[@aleksagordic9593]

like a good wine, gets better with age :P (if kept well)

[@Nc-Wisdom]

Lol

[@ChefLizette]

New York literally stopped for me the moment you posted this! I hid inside a bank lobby to watch ASAP! I cried and smiled at the same time. #OGVayniac❤️

[@JacksonFall]

I know I know!!! This is so so touching

[@YouGoPro]

Gary, my sister put me on to you 3-4 months ago. Watched all your GVee vids since then. Now checking you out here. My wife and I are weekend drinkers. I'm 60% bourbon, 20% beer, 20% wine but we like to taste different wines. About 2 years ago we came across Marissou Pinot Noir and it's our "go to". We've tasted $100 bottles but prefer this $7-$15 bottle over everything we've tried so far. Any suggestions to try along these lines you think we may like? Thanks. Go Dolphins!

[@WarChortle]

Wine Library TV actually was a huge inspiration of why I got certified at Society of Wine Educators.

[@smayer2683]

Been waiting a long time for this! Epic tasting...your old videos are one of the reasons I got into wine!

[@ZwienerZ]

I just got an email saying, "He's back." WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@nathansaylor1239]

Yes, but do you still have the brown bag chops?

[@rundepic]

ALL OF A SUDDEN WOAH, happy to see Gary here as well! :)

[@JonBarber]

perfect timing, I'm looking for a wine to send a biz contact as a thank you, I'm jumping on library to order shortly. thx gary vee!

[@Mavromatic]

Wow! Nice surprise... Keep them coming Gary.

[@paulspahn4529]

is wltv back for good? bring us more

[@ThatReyesFamily]

Whoa, FLASHBACK. This is the BEST. Thanks for taking me back. You really did change the wine world Gary. - alejandro

[@chrismboyle]

Damn, After 5 years I had just about kicked that nasty habit of always buying a couple bottles every trip to the grocery store! I feel a relapse coming on!!!

[@BoyRobot2]

I'd love a review of 2 buck chucks! One of reds and another of whites, or even get more specific, and do an episode for each blend Chards, Cab Savs, Pinos etc.

[@sanforkl1]

I missed you like crazy! It was so great to see this vidoe pop up on my youtube feed today. Stopped everything to watch! I hope the episodes contine. It would be great to see how your palette has evolved and changed over the years and hear some new recommendations from you. The wine world hasn't been the same for me since you stopped making videos. Thank you for posting this...you made my day!

[@BLKCITYCOFFEEROASTERS]

That was the cutest ever. Loved seeing back back on the thunder show!

[@mikeway8188]

I started watching your show when I started dating my wife because she was an avid wine lover. I just wanted to say thank you for just taking all of the BS out of wine translation and just being an overall cool dude. Best of luck in your future ventures.

[@D3C0Y]

This just made my day!

[@drmatthewhorkey]

This is so awesome to see. Your book Crush It and your videos helped give me confidence to leave my business and start a new career venture. I still watch your videos and am learning from even the old ones to find my voice on my channel/website. Thanks and all the best, looking good! I was even thinking of reaching out once my show got better to ask you to be a guest (return to wine) but looks like you beat me to the punch hahaha. I still watch your videos often to pick up small nuances. Answer to your QOD 2002 Jean Louis Chave Hermitage 2008 Seifile from Nada Fiorenzo 2013 Sea Smoke Ten

[@us318221]

Seriously, hope all is well with you. Lizzie and the growing family.....pretty cool hearing Misch's comments.

[@peejahzmccool]

Recently started working at a wine-heavy restaurant in Denver, and have zero experience with wines, so my manager sent me to Wine Library TV. Loved JJJRH, and have learned a ton from the videos. Thanks for keeping the archive up!

[@hiramangulonavarrete9758]

which clearly reaffirms the fact that good and bad are totally subjective; wines he used to pound now are good haha.

[@jimbucholz3272]

Thanks so much for this Gary. I owe a debt of gratitude to you in a rather unusual way. About four years ago I took over a large organization (about 1100 people) that was in an extremely poor state of performance and morale. Among other changes, I began a bi-weekly video blog to connect to the organization that was HEAVILY influenced by you and your WLTV blogs which I watched religiously back in the day. Those videos were a catalyst for a renaissance within the organization and we now are back on our feet and performing marvelously once again. Thanks for your influence on my life.

[@dmatich]

Great to see you back, man...if only for a one-off. Hope to see you on an LA book tour stop. QOTD: Here's one you have to find (if you haven't already): Last September, we did a tasting with Realm Cellars in Calistoga. Their 2013 "The Bard" (Cab blend) blew us away, and we picked up a few bottles @ $95. Cut to 2016...RP100.

[@prccap]

Bring it back, Gary!!!! Need to over take the wine king

[@quigglyz]

WWWHHOOOOAAAAA. Full circle. You put up a new episode right after I decided to jump back into wine. The universe bends according to my will. This is too much power for me not to abuse...

[@GeoffQuattromani]

These videos taught me about and gave me the confidence to drink wine. This type of video gave me the inspiration to review technology in the same way online. In many ways Gary is a big part of things in my life. So great to see this all again.

[@dylanholt9906]

When you put out your last episode, I was 19 and had never had wine. I discovered you about six months ago, and I believe that I have watched every single episode of WLTV since then. I can't tell you how awesome it is to see a brand new episode. But with all of that being said, Clif Lede's 2012 Poetry has to be the best wine I've had in the past five years (ever).

[@howardkahn]

Great to what another WLTV. When's 1002???

[@neilblaze168]

I'm a long-time lurker, first-time commenter. The Thunder Show has for years been a source of great entertainment and enlightenment for me. It has helped to foster a deep appreciation for wine, an appreciation which has contributed to my overall enjoyment of life. Thank you for all you have done; I hope to see more episodes in the future.

[@prasm1959]

Five F'n years we've been waiting! You "crushed it" Gary. So glad to see your smiling face back in the old haunting grounds (looking fit also). How about giving us just one a month from now on? Is that too much to ask? QOD; 2000 Poderi Aldo Conterno Barolo Riserva Granbussia

[@lukemperez]

QOTD: Mano a Mano 2013 Tempranillo. Gary, you described the '07 or '08 as "burn fan motor and black pepper" and I went on a hunt for it. I'd been watching you since episode 4 or 5, but never could find the wines you reviewed. So this time I had to make the effort. Fell in love with it and with Spanish reds in general. Ended up buying two cases to drink one bottle a month as I finished up my Master's degree. I've always kept an eye out for Mano a Mano since then. Couple of weeks ago I saw it at a store here in Texas (where I'm working on my PhD). Bought half a case on the spot. It hasn't missed a beat. Neither have you, sir, telling it like it is. :)

[@JoeNationTV]

Ha this is awesome.

[@mikecowpg]

I watched the first 1000, never thought I'd see another one. Welcome back Gary!

[@rossxjohnson]

WOW. THROWBACK. BACK IN TIME... WILL THE OAK MONSTER MAKE AN APPEARANCE? - Caps are a must have. Got cold shivers seeing this on snapchat. Your energy in contagious. How you have it for everything you do. Passion. Talent. HUSTLE. Winning. WOW.

[@realtasting]

Great 1001th episode. Shame about the first wine! Have a browse to TLTV wine :) or traubenliebe in german (Love for Grapes) The first bi-lingual wine channel (DE/EN) Traubenliebe visits wineries/chateaus around the world and meet the people behind the wine. Wine is very often too anonymous! Great wine is often made by wonderful interesting people. The KZbin channel is in both English and German. If in Germany or Switzerland and would like to do a tasting... Let me know. @traubenliebe on twitter and traubenliebe on facebook, youtube and instagram. Wishing you excellent wine adventures! Welcome back!

[@TheChug]

Hey Gary, I just started to read your Crush It book and discovered your KZbin channel... Amazing that your last episode talks a little about the past! Can't wait to read the rest of your book, I think I'll be done by the end of the day! haha! So... are the Jets yours now? ;)

[@KSLaczko]

It's like you never left man, guess that's the best thing of being a natural presenter. Good to see you back in the saddle, even if it is for one extra show!

[@greatsea]

Garyyyyy! Damn I actually have tears in my eyes right now.

[@shotblockershaq32]

I've literally been waiting for years

[@brianjohnson9896]

Brought back so many great memories! I remember I couldn't wait each day to get home from work to download the latest episode from iTunes and watch it on the AppleTV. I felt 10 years younger yesterday. Thanks Gary!

[@FairfieldPhotographyBC]

hhhheeeesssss hheeerrrreeeee.............BOOM BABY!!!!!!! wine Library back strong. fab since you left is going to be anything out of Crossing Vinyard, great small vinyard out of Washington Crossing Pa. Not far from Wine Library.

[@CurvaLish]

I am a recent (new) affiliate of Wine Library. Will there be more upcoming videos that I can share with my followers to help educate them on wine? Pretty please...

[@muhaiminmohammad3830]

its inspiring how reviewing product can make a huge impact on our sales. Thank you Gary!!

[@miroslavbula]

Hi Gary. I didnt saw every of your videos.I just found you month ago. At first, I would like to say, I am enjoying your wine tasting. But, what I always see is that even if you taste wines from all over the world, it is always the same country. USA, New Zeland, Italy, Spain, Australia, France... Is it possible to give a chance to other countries, like Croatia, Slovakia, or Czech (Moravia mostly) wines? Or is it very hard to get those wines to you? A assume, that for example no Czech wines are for sale in US. Or very hard to get. But I think, we (I am from Czech) have some very good white and rose wines (red not so much, but there are some good). I would be happy to see you taste some of them. :-) Thanks and thumbs up for your good work! I have still like 900 videos to watch. :D

[@gailmarie1961]

You look better! haha… Loved this episode… :) I know I am late, but welcome back!!

[@JTD2]

So awesome to see you back!! Made me realize how much I miss the show. I watched it religiously and it changed wine for me forever. I'd give anything to have this show back!!!!

[@NathaneJackson]

I don't know you from this world and I don't know anything about wine but damn..... "like riding a bike." See you Tuesday!

[@LennyYT]

BOOMMMMM! Welcome back!!! IT'S ONNN!

[@carolynd9988]

For anyone else who's interested, the right Chardonnay link is : winelibrary.com/wines/chardonnay/2013-hudson-vineyards-chardonnay-86191!! :)

[@susanjspaulding]

10 years??? Difficult to believe..... Yes, it's the SAME table!!! WOW!!!! Bobby in the house!!! I have not seen Bobby in years!!! Great new video!!!!!!! Wine has CHANGED thanks to you Gary!!! There is no SUBSTITUTE for you Gary!!!! You are the BEST!!! Thanks Gary!!!! (I thought I was seeing things...... LOL!!! )

[@garyrobinson8665]

welcome back Gary. I've been watching a lot of your videos this week. I'm really into portuguese wines at the moment. ive just had a bottle of afros vinhao vinho verde tinto 2010 it was delicious. i highly recommend it.

[@MaxNucci]

Throwback Sunday! 👍👍

[@andenils]

QOTD: Corison Kronos 2005 Hmm, hello dude! Well, there are infact not any wine podcast leaders, they all suck beacuse they make to few videos and the charge you :) Welcome back? and thank you for 1001. Wine #1 84 bucks for any SB is crazy, real crazy Wine #2 Butter is one thing, oakmonster another , right :D Wine #3 Spitting, swallowing, who cares, anymore ;) Wine #4 Bordeaux throwback huh? Editing? a jump in the video. No editing on the WLTV DRock!! Why didn't Mott do the show? Mischa on the set, nice. let the girl speak :) Have a nice week Gary.

[@BusinessAnalyzer]

DROCK Link It Up! QOTD: Very hard question. Many good wines were had in 5 years! Thanks for doing the Thunder Shooooooooooooow.

[@dantheaffilaite]

THUNDER SHOW! got me hooked from the first showing - wow - Another amazing episode. Great seeing you ride that bike again effortlessly. Answer to your end of show question - Fav wine for me since your last show 5 yrs ago. Not an easy question- 2012 Turley - Zinfandel - Hayne OR 2012 Memento Mori Cab. (OMG)

[@Chemofski]

AWESOME! Welcome back Gary V. I hoped you'd get back to this... please keep it up. I know you've got your hands in many things these days but you've got to keep doing WLTV, My Man! Love this show. I've learned a lot and enjoyed the show. I still have my signed copy of Crush It! too. Keep up the good work! QOTD Answer: My favorite wine since I last saw you is the Maryhill Winemaker's Red. It's a red blend that's likely not going to win any awards but it's $10-15 and I can find it almost everywhere. It's just a really nice, inexpensive bottle that goes great with a variety of food and activities. Part of the reason I love it so much is that I have many great memories over the last couple years while drinking this.... vacationing with my family and friends, playing cards, bbq'ing and laughing late into the night. And MANY more.

[@DCportraits]

QOTD: I switched to whisk(e)y Gary ever since you left. I started watching around the 300's and stopped when you left at 1000. Completely randomly ran into your 1001 because I was looking for a great CDP. Great seeing and hearing your fantastic reviews. Any chance for a COMEBACK?!?!?!?

[@quantum_entangled_tardigrade]

Well, lookie who showed up in my in-box! Good to see ya' again, Gary V!!! ...and, having watched the vid 'til the end, my answer to your question: Generally, anything 2012 from Washington State (a phenomenal growing season!). More specifically, any syrah from Boushey Vineyard. Down to one wine - 2012 Efeste Jolie Bouche

[@Spa-dl5uq]

YAY HAPPY 10 yr anniversary of the shhhoooooOOOooow!!!! This brings me back to being a young restauranteur and learning a bunch on youtube and especially from your channel!!!! Thanks so much for all of your content and I can't tell you how nostalgic this is and how happy it makes me :) (p.s. you DON'T look old!!!) But if you're self conscious, I am a licensed esthetician and can recommend some great shit for ya.... I'm really 85 and look 30 no??!! hahaha #WristbandsRock #AskGaryVee

[@danf321]

Welcome back! Yes Gary, there are lots of "wine reviewers" out there, but they are only "wanna be Gary Vaynerchuks". You stand alone my friend!

[@bskough]

QOTD - I really have two. The 78 Mondavi Reserve was spectacular about 3 summers ago and the 01 Clos Mogador was outstanding last summer. Although the 83 Chateau Latour has to be in the conversation as well. Wow!! I'm speechless my dude. I have been pounding you about this for a while now and it happened. You made it happen. Thanks brother. Digging up Chris Mott would have been the cherry on top but it was certainly good to have you back in the saddle. IMO there isn't a 3 point difference between the Ad Vivum and the Verite but that's my palette. Happy anniversary brother! Oh, nice to hear (and see her hand) Misha on the episode! Yours, B.S.

[@stevengrant8537]

Found WLTV after you had already stopped filming episodes. I was in the CKC when I started picking my way through the 1,000 episodes. Serial lurker status. I am excited for my first comment to be on show 1,001! QOTD: (first one of these I have answered!) Amayna Pinot Nior 2012

[@casadosvinhosde]

Awesome that you are back! Didn't see that one coming! What a great surprise! I can't tell you my one favorite wine since the last episode of Wine Library TV, but I can name some that I think are at least in my top 10: Quinta do Vallado Touriga Nacional 2011 Herade dos Grous Moon Harvested 2011 Soalheiro Alvarinho 2014 Leuta 1618 Merlot 2008 Tenuta Chicchieri Amarone 2009

[@Adrian802]

I like watching your reviews on Sauternes, Tokaji Aszu, Chilean red wines, Port, Chablis, and other red wine episode. Ever since then, we had 2009,2010 two back to back legendary vintage for bordeaux reds, 2009-2011 trio for sauternes, 2011 Ports, and 2007 Tokaji Aszu, and an super deal Don Maximiano from Chile. It would be awesome to do video review on these great vintages before they all end up in Auction events.

[@fernandomouracruz5492]

I`m a game developer who drinks no wine getting sme inspiration from ur channel, vídeos n energy...Working harder than any other game developer out there in order to outwork them... What advice could you give me as an entrepeneur ? how can I have millions of people playing my games ?Note : I`ll be presenting my first Project at Brazil Game Show this yr ( 350.000 ppl) and then California at Playstation Exp...thanks ma man

[@brunellobob3510]

Was going OK until we started talking about "wristbands"...

[@JessicaLaShawn]

You're dropping some serious vocabulary within this video that makes me want to research what you're really saying about this wine. I'm intrigued.

[@danathefunkiest1]

Wow glad to see you back! It's just been me changing the wine world lately, where's the little bit of you been? Jk :) Great to see you back in this light. I've thought about starting my own wine blog and KZbin show lately. Thanks for the inspiration, man. Bring out Sasha and taste some first growth Bordeaux's for 1,002! He can demonstrate how to pair that with 5 hotdogs and a Corona!

[@aer9313]

Gary, Gary, Gary...Yay...!!! I found You...!!! You are one of the peoples that fit into my launch arsenal, my arsenal for my mass attack on success. Perfect fit. Yay...!! So, I am now one of your followers. BUT, I have lots to share, well not lots and lots but one big share in a particular niche and I'm curious of your blockchain involvement and or thoughts on the technology and would love to share mine. Anyway's.... Cheers all.

[@trarea]

GREAT EPISODE - QOD - 1991 Domaine Leroy Pommard Les Vignets which I bought after seeing an episode of you drinking another vintage in a San Fran hotel. Held it until 2 years ago and it was AMAZING!

[@rlingner]

Thanks for this - man, some serious nostalgia. Discovered you long ago through the show (was a lurker), and recently coming back to you again, intrigued with the social media angles, since I do some of that for the museum where I work. Oh - best wine, maybe a Apollonio Terragnolo Primitivo Salento Rosso 2011...not expensive, but just really tasty and unusual... still have 2 bottles waiting to drink.

[@tomy5gxy]

Glad to see you back! I just found Wine Library TV about 4 years ago and am glad to see you reviewing current offerings. I would love for you, or someone from Wine Library continue this program. I purchase through WL online and this really helps me try things I never would have purchased. Best wine I have had was either a 2012 Burley or 2008 Lancaster Estates Cab. I love the Alexander Valley wines!!

[@ClementBiger]

Give me a good Pouilly Fumé and I'm all yours (at least for the evening). Great to see you back in the wine videos :)... I think you weren't even on KZbin (what was the other platform you used? can't remember!) when I first watched WLTV.

[@jeffl8615]

Gary - so good to see you again - like a long lost friend re-appearing out of nowhere. QOTD - 2010 Epoch Estate Wines Block B Syrah - CA Central Coast Rhone Ranger - phenomenal ( 98 pts, WA)

[@MCBP01001]

Hi Gary, i m from Europe ( Czech Republic) and we have on all bottles written : dry or sweet . Currentlly live in Canada,already tried more than 12 wines, but i ´ve never seen these kind of descriptions on bottles here.Do you know why? Maybe u can help mi out. Thank you Garry, Michal O.

[@jessicasutherland151]

Wooo! happy to see the thunder show back! My favorite wine currently is a toss up between the Fetzer Gewurztraminer and the Chateau St. Michelle Riesling. My husband's favorite is the Anne De Kay Gewurztraminer (he works at Total Wine).

[@hughhood1]

Found WLTV after episode 1,000. Great comeback! QOTD - Newton The Puzzle 2012 Best Value thanks to Wine Library sales team - Light Horse Pinot Noir 2013

[@peterseven9470]

GARY!! This is awesome. I got to be a huge fan.......about four years too late! I've learned a ton from the old episodes though and thats been great. Looking forward to (hoping?) you do more so I can actually buy some of the stuff you taste on air and refine my novice palate. Your biggest contribution - its OK to be honest about a wine. Cheap and good, expensive and suckish.....its OK to just say it! Thanks dude.

[@bheureux1498]

We love you, or I know I love you and imagine other people do too. My favorite wines since are young wines... Justin Dutraive Fleurie, Lapierre Morgon. Almost chose aged Mosel, or Beaucastel, or Grand Cru, but no, beautiful feminine perfection in Beaujolais stands out... 97 Montlouis was close

[@GojapaneseNow]

Woah, +Gary Vaynerchuk 's back on Wine Library TV! Good to see, even if I'm guessing it's only 1 episode. Gary, there's one question I've always wanted to ask you. Have you ever tried a Japanese wine that you liked?

[@LiamGandelsman]

This was great, Gary! Best wine I've had since has been the Ceretto Langhe Arneis (2014). Had it at the winery in Piemonte while studying abroad. Super fresh, they hadn't even begun selling it to the public yet! It's really unique for an arneis as it's a little frizzante (naturally) but only for the first few minutes after opening the bottle.

[@SerenaFill]

Best wine "since I last saw you": Dornfelder, Santa Lucia Highlands, California, 2013, Laumann Family - Cambíata. Curious if you've had it!

[@georgebechara9449]

will you be doing episodes on a more regular basis again.....maybe a couple of times a month or once a week..... as for my favorite wine lately it was the 2006 Dal Forno Valpolicella....it is a monster of flavors and layering....very dark and brooding but that's my style. Give it a try....I am sitting on 3 2008s which were a little Vegetal for me so I hope you will try some or even review it in the future. Big fan Nice to see you back

[@joefran619]

Wine tasting is individual taste, as I have found the best wine I have ever had was 2000 Bordeaux Chateau Lamothe. Price? $12.00 a bottle. I have drank wine that cost 129.00 a bottle. So I believe this point system is a scam.

[@MurphysLawUs]

My favorite wine so far has been a California Redwood Valley, Frey 2010 Petite Sirah, but I do admit my own inexperience having not tasted more than 150 wines. Loved the show, Gary!

[@foxmuc]

As I have watched the show almost from the beginning and Gary "told" me a lot about wines, it was so great to see another episode after those 5 years. Do you plan to do some more shows of winelibrarytv? Greetings from THE Riesling Country.. Germany!!

[@vigouroso]

I just looked at your Wikipedia Page and it said you had retired from Wine Vlogging in 2016 or something. I was worried that something bad had happened to you after then and that’s why there were no more videos. I have fond memories of watching your vids in 2014/15 but I understand the need to take a break from making them. All the best!

[@tgsurf62]

So stoked to see you back Gary, no one does it better (even with all of the new vloggers out there these days). I sure hope you continue doing more. Great tasting, and it is nice to see you enjoying characteristics you shunned in the past. No mention of the Jets? Question of the Day - I recently had a 2012 Rhone Style from Leal Vineyards out of Hollister CA., really tasty.

[@midwestreps1845]

So fantastic!!! Thanks for taking the time to bring back thunder. Cool to hear how your palette and likes have changed. QOD: 1996 Rabbit Ridge Zinfandel

[@MrTrojanceez]

first time watching you on WLTV. I watched both this, and your very first episode. Huge growth! I liked your sincerity from both, I have to say that has not changed. im a fan, last wine I had was Green Fin Merlot, and thanks!

[@vidfio4602]

Came here from Gary's other channel, I don't line wine at all lol. Any apple ciders?

[@jhettchristenson2080]

awesome anniversary show my friend. excellent energy in it too. QOTD: at a little tasting room in the coolest little town in arizona, i had a great effort by Caduceus Cellars: two wines: Nagual de la Naga, and Nagual del Judith. Exciting wine in a bit of the old world style. Tons of passion from the winemaker. Will be looking forward to seeing what they continue to put out. Be well, hustler

[@jerryschonfeld]

Thanks for coming back. I remember show number 1. Please do some more. Last year I tried Ship of Fools out of Michigan. At room temp. this is very good. It is a blend of three pinots. How about another get together for us old guys at the Wine Library?

[@possidar]

Wonderful to hear from you again, Gary. I am on a limited budget so my recently fav was a inexpensive Cabernet from Washington. Chateau Ste Michelle Indian Wells Cabernet. Hope to see more from you.

[@m1garandisthebest]

Bevan cellars sonoma mountain 2012, Chateau Monbousqet 2010, RDV Vineyards Friends and Family, & Lost Mountain!!

[@skoue4165]

Please consider doing maybe a monthly show!!!!!!!! The big surprise was a zin under CostCo's label. But we also moved to Detroit and beer is kind of what wine is in California. So the wine.... But the beer has been fantastic.

[@TheMagnificentzero]

Just catching on that you came back now. Best bottle I've had since you left...hard to say, but at the moment my mind lingers on an 1988 Jaboulet La Chapelle I had not too long ago. Cheers!

[@foodieontour]

He is back !!! ...just to leave us after. Not good. WE WANT MORE. (Greets from SE Asia - wine depredated region of the world)
