We interrupt our regularly scheduled wine sale for a
detour through the mind of lovable loudmouth critic Gary Vaynerchuk.
The Cycles Gladiator 4-Pack will return tomorrow.
Maybe
you haven’t heard Gary Vaynerchuk’s hyperactive, irreverent opinions on
wine yet. But that’s about to change. Along with his daily videocast at
Wine Library TV, he’s also scheduled to appear in the near future on Late Night with Conan O’Brien,
National Public Radio, and various other national, local, global, and
galactic media outlets. And it’s not just because people love the
soothing sound of his melodious voice. It’s because he’s written the
book 101 Wines, as if ink on paper could possibly contain
Gary’s opinionated vigor. We’re talking about a guy who does his show
surrounded by New York Jets memorabilia. Clearly, he’s not worried
about people thinking he’s crazy.
Not only did Gary write 101 Wines, he also wrote on
it, just for you. Each and every copy of the book for sale today has
been personally scrawled upon by Mr. Vay! Ner! Chuk! himself. It
would’ve been cool to fill up an ink pen with whatever’s in Gary’s spit
bucket and sign the books with that, but we think he just used regular
ink.
Let’s make one thing clear: despite the persistent
rumors sizzling through our forums, Winedavid39 is not secretly Gary
Vaynerchuk. Gary Vaynerchuk is not secretly Winedavid39. And neither
one of them is secretly Ron Paul. Sure, both GV and WD approach
wine with a certain joie de vin, and both value honesty and,
uh, value. But come on. Gary’s a point guard with a quick first step
and a feathery jumper, while Winedavid 39 is a big man with
surprisingly good ball-handling skills who swings between a 3 and a 4.
Any fool can tell the difference.
Anyway, we wouldn’t hit PAUSE on our regular sale for any old wine book. We’re doing this because 101 Wines is the wine book we wish we’d had before we’d ever tasted a drop. It’s honest, it’s insightful, it’s funny…it’s Gary!
Now, Gary, let’s talk quid-pro-quo…
