Are You Vayniac Yet? May 14, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I've been using the wisdom of Gary for a while now. He's shaped the way I taste and think about wine. While our tastes in wine differ (to a degree), his passion for grape juice and approaching wine with an opened mind have been a BIG influence.
His first book is a great way to get to know Gary and I'm sure you'll appreciate his wisdom and passion as I did.

I've been watching Wine Library TV since almost the beginning. I understood his passion and mission from the very first moment. He's a kindred soul. Since I first met him in person at the Boston Wine Expo, he knew I was a kindred soul as well. We've developed a friendship so I'm so proud that my pal has written this book. Knowing him, it's no surprise that the book is great. It captures his loving, energetic personality and knowledge of and passion for wine. This book is an indispensable guide to not only wine, but to life and love as well. Consider it Gary's love letter to each of you.
This book brings Thunder to my World May 14, 2008

This book truly does "Inspire, Delight and Bring Thunder to your World." When I did a quick flip of the pages (similar to the swirling of the wine) and then took my first look (sticking your nose in the wine) I was delighted. I got a taste of an amazing book that inspired the mind (similar to a wine inspiring you taste buds). From start to finish this book is amazing and a must read. Start from number 101 and read it through, number one will surprise you, it shocked me :) I was so inspired I went and tried to find a handful of these wines. Additionally talked to customers and employees at the wine story and told them about the book and have a few of them going to check it out as well. Gary Vaynerchuk is an amazing author, wine expert and overall amazing person. Two thumbs up. So good I now have three copies ! One to keep, one to give away and a backup.
You must get this book! May 14, 2008

I'll have to admit something. Until recently, I've never heard of Gary Vaynerchuk before. I had no idea what Wine Library TV was. Then a couple months ago, I decided to finally join this little website called Twitter. It all went downhill from there! (haha) To make a short story long, when I first saw mention of this internet wine show, I was thinking - oh, sure - THAT sounds like a blast; probably some snobby, obnoxious old fart who waxes philosophical about wine and thinks his opinion is more sacred than Mother Teresa. (Have you met a "serious" wine critic before? I have. I'd rather be poked in the eye.) Well, you should never judge a book by it cover (no pun intended) and I bit the bullet and saw a few episodes of Gary's little wine show called Wine Library TV.
I was hooked. I don't think I've ever run across anyone more sincere and passionate about wine before, who is more anxious to teach the world not about wine technique and history lessons, but to teach people to have fun with wine. To remove all the stereotypical stigmas associated with drinking wine. That it's ok to pop open a bottle for a football game. If you want a glass of Napa Cab with your cheeseburger - why not?
It's this passion that really shines in Gary's book. He makes it perfectly clear that the book is not a "wine guide". It's not. Yes, at the end of the day, its just another man's opinion on wine - 101, to be exact. But trust me, you will learn a thing or two. And, like me, you'll want to run out and buy wine you've never tasted or heard of before. The way Gary writes here - "bringing the thunder", the "oak monster", "obnoxious silkiness" - or a wine can taste like Cinnamon Toast Crunch or smells like poop (poop? Yes, poop) - it's just downright fun. The book is just filled with great stuff and little "fun facts" run rampant throughout.
So Gary - I sincerely thank you. To the world - buy this book and hopefully you'll get as much as I did.
