Vaynerchuk's recommendations span a wide range of prices, nations, grapes, and styles?allowing everyone from novices to connoisseurs to expand their wine horizons.

1 out of 5 stars You're kidding, right?   November 7, 2008
  3 out of 8 found this review helpful

Gary Vaynerchuk is a charlatan within nothing insightful or informative to say. How he got to where is is a mystery to me. I guess it's because he's done a good job of positioning himself as a "shock" wine critic. He acts like a complete goofball his video reviews, and not in a good way. That really annoys me - not because he acts goofy, but because it's obviously FORCED and unnatural. He probably believes he needs to do something to make his subject matter more interesting. (After all, wine doesn't lend itself to a visual medium like video, right? Please.) Ironically, good wine needs no embellishment. All he needs to do is tell the stories behind the wines he's reviewing and the producers who make them, and do that in a straightforward way, and he would be fascinating. When it comes to wine, reality is more interesting than fantasy.


5 out of 5 stars Fun book, learned a lot   August 6, 2008

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3SK7UFPK9STIH Gary Vaynerchuk's 101 Wines: Guaranteed to Inspire, Delight, and Bring Thunder to Your World is a great, fun book that talks about wines you should try. Fast read, and I learned a lot from Gary. Funny headlines and copy too. Not your typical wine review book. I don't even drink wine! My wife loved it. Found a wine she absolutely loves now.


5 out of 5 stars Flipping traditional wine folks on their head, thankfully   August 1, 2008
Gary Vaynerchuk.

I admit, I never would have recognized this name two years ago. But in two very short years (perhaps less) this name and the wine-infused, palate-drenching, non-traditional approach to wine his name symbolizes has had an infectious effect on wine consumers world wide. I had the pleasure of meeting Gary just before the wild fire was set and ever since the first Wine 2.0 event my appreciation and respect for Gary has grown tremendously.

Gary would be the first to admit that he's not a Rhodes scholar and didn't study English at Oxford, and as you might guess, neither have I. He chose video as his medium because he is raw, unrefined, reactionary, and as in your face "Jersey" as it gets.

After seeing Gary on Conan the second time, I asked myself if Gary could ever enter the mainstream wine drinker channels, e.g. Gary giving his two cents on wine in the Wall Street Journal or NY Times? To do that, Gary would have to be able to string a conscious, coherent stream of impulses to text-something that rarely happens, as his type of enthusiasm is hard to lasso to text. However, Vaynerchuk's book, 101 Wines Guaranteed to Inspire, Delight, and Bring Thunder To Your World comes across as genuinely Gary as possible and is a great read for any wine drinker who has ever wanted more from their wine review!

Gary's genuine lack of finesse, lack of snobbery, and most importantly, lack of boring moments, comes straight through in his book with wine review titles like "Oak Monster Be Damned," and `risque' topics like "Red Wine with Fish." Read it cover to cover, browse it from the toilet, or use it for inspiration when you find a wine that really brings the thunder - but whatever you do, get yourself a copy!



5 out of 5 stars An absolute "must get" book about wines   July 23, 2008
This book far exceeded my expectations, broght a thunder of enjoyment, and contributed yet more valuable knowledge and tidbits to my understanding of the wine world. Gary offers every description in a fun and easy to read, down-to-earth, interest catching manner and language. Besides the fact that in my opinion this book is so good, spreading also the writer's exquisite taste in choosing this wine list, I must enrich this concept by adding that Gary Vaynerchuk is the most influential person in my life, as far as my relationship with wines go. That is also to say that this young man clearly promises to be the next generation Robert Parker, or wine authority of that scope.


5 out of 5 stars Title says it all..   July 21, 2008
this is a book about joy...words like "Inspire" and "Delight" accurately describe the contents of the book..after starting to read wine reviews (and collecting wines) 25 years ago, I gave up; the previous wine commentaries all sounded like clinical reviews of new drugs; I found no joy in reading the "taste list" of samplings and felt stupid. Gary V has it right..wine (and wine tasting) should be a passion, a new experience, something fun, something to be shared..the comments in the book sound just like those on his PODcast(check it out). He will show you how to enjoy new tastes. Buy the book and read it. Mark the pages about the wines which you might be interested in. Start watching the show. Visit your local wine store regularly. You will forever be changed..
