On the Saturday before Superbowl Sunday I took the afternoon off and headed down from New York to New Jersey to film a video #616 with Gary Vaynerchuk from Wine Library TV.

If you’ve never heard of Gary Vaynerchuk or Wine Library TV, that’s ok you’re in for a treat. Gary hosts the internet’s most passionate wine program, Wine Library TV. He tapes a video every day usually from his office at Wine Library headquarters in New Jersey and reviews or tastes 3 wines. Garry has a huge following in the wine vertical.

When I arrived Matt from Gary’s team showed me around the Wine Library operation which was huge. I was certainly impressed at the vast arrange of Australian wines that Gary carries. Gary suggested I find three wines that I would like to taste with him, so obviously I selected three Australian Wines.

These being;

2007 D’arenberg The Hermit Crab
2006 Kooyong Massale Pinot Noir
2005 Penfolds Cab/shiraz Bin 389

For years I’ve admired Gary from afar watching his videos on Wine Library TV and his personal site garyvaynerchuk.com. So it was great to finally meet and do a video (thanks for the guys at Hulu for doing the intro). Gary is a natural, we hardly spoke before the video started rolling and what you saw on the video was natural and unrehearsed.

Afterwards when the video was posted, I was overwhelmed at the amount of comments that the video gained on the websites in just a matter of hours there was over 170 comments on the video. I just looked now and there are 196 comments. Unbelievable.

I hope you enjoy the video as much as I had taping it.
