Real Life Lessons June 7, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I am really into wine, and Gary's video podcast has brought more information than can be contained in a limited book like this one, but my favorite part of this book isn't even the wine reviews! It's the tiny life lessons that Gary sprays throughout the entirety of the book with an honesty and passion that you can't find anywhere else.
101 Wines is a great resource for picking the perfect wine June 7, 2008
Gary's new book 101 wines is a great quick reference for tips and suggestions on picking the perfect wine that will make all our clients weddings toasts perfect. Every week we work with dozens of couples getting married and help them pick the perfect wine or champagne to compliment their wine theme wedding favors for their wedding. The Wine Library is always our first choice for the finest wine service and selection around. Gary will never steer you wrong.

Surpassed my (high) expectations June 6, 2008
I'm a daily viewer of Gary's WLTV show for the past year so I was pretty pumped when I heard this book was coming. (I've bought 4 copies so far - 3 from Amazon: mine, gift for friend, birthday gift and now Father's Day.)
I enjoyed reading this cover to cover. The introduction is excellent, with Gary spelling out some of his passions and philosophies regarding wine and life.
The "countdown" reading of the 101 wines was also very entertaining and informative. It had the familiar feel of the WLTV show without being too "inside" or repetitive. It was fresh and fun.
By the way, while there is a wide range of wines recommended in this book - in varietal, geography, style and price - it should be mentioned that there are a LOT of inexpensive, affordable wines mentioned side-to-side with the more famous names, so anyone on a tighter wine budget (and that's a lot of people these days) would benefit greatly from picking up a copy and discovering some great QPR under $15 or so.
I've read a LOT of wine books over the past 15 years and this is one of - if not "THE" - my favorites.
Must have wine book June 4, 2008
Congrats to Gary for putting out a reference guide to some of the best wines available. This book will withstand years of use at least until the second edition!
I bought three books to give to a few friends.
Well written, just like Gary talks. Very informative and entertaining. Not only will you get an education in wine but you will get a laugh or two.
And don't forget the special offer that if you buy two books you get free shipping on any order from Wine Library.

All that is good about wine June 4, 2008
Gary Vaynerchuk hits so many home runs in this book. From the opening passage about sharing wine with family and loved ones to his spot on reviews of "I would have never tired that wine" wine from all over the world. His passion and love for all things wine shines through the entire book. Dare to be inspired and trust your palate.
