You rock! Thanks for the message!
April 2nd, 2008 at 3:19 pm
a) great shirt b) great message. totally brightens my day in the trenches.
April 2nd, 2008 at 3:20 pm
and now off to WBW#44 !!!
April 2nd, 2008 at 3:20 pm
many thanks and THANK YOU GV for all the amazing stellar content! yea for other human beings! woo hoo!
also, THANK YOU TO MOTT! i like the all black look, super cool.
April 2nd, 2008 at 3:25 pm
Thank you Gary. Keep up the great work.
Even though the only people that read my blog are my family and friends, I am still very grateful. I am grateful for the fact that I can do what I love and that I have people who care about me. They care enough to take the time to read the posts I write for the mere fact that it makes me happy.
April 2nd, 2008 at 3:26 pm
Thanks GeeVee. The thanks are reciprocal… without the great content, you wouldn’t have the need to thank us for watching!
April 2nd, 2008 at 3:27 pm
You are welcome. And thank you.
Also, repackaging things is not a bad thing. Many configurations of the same info gives everyone a chance to “grok” it. Yes I said grok. Heh. Have a great day.
April 2nd, 2008 at 3:27 pm
Thanks Gary!
April 2nd, 2008 at 3:28 pm
You’re Welcome.
April 2nd, 2008 at 3:28 pm
No Gary, thank you.
April 2nd, 2008 at 3:30 pm
I really love what you’re doing Gary, and I look forward to your video casts.
I hope that I will see Gary Veynerchuk videos on iTunes soon!
April 2nd, 2008 at 3:31 pm
your shows and twitters are almost always guaranteed to make me laugh, smile, or think…sometimes all three. For me its minutes well spent!
April 2nd, 2008 at 3:31 pm
Back at you, GV.
April 2nd, 2008 at 3:31 pm
Thank YOU Gary!
April 2nd, 2008 at 3:32 pm
Thank you for putting yourself out there and on the line!
April 2nd, 2008 at 3:32 pm
no you no us - no us no you
thanks for everyone
April 2nd, 2008 at 3:35 pm
No, thank YOU!
Isn’t it great to be alive?!
April 2nd, 2008 at 3:36 pm
Thank you 2 Gary!
April 2nd, 2008 at 3:38 pm
You’re very welcome, GV! And thanks right back for your online friendship this past - wow, almost 2 years.
April 2nd, 2008 at 3:40 pm
Thank you for taking the time out of your day to make these videos.
Time is a precious commodity - having anyone share theirs with you is huge.
Thanks back.
April 2nd, 2008 at 3:42 pm
Gary,
I was lucky enough to spend some time speaking with you during the Christmas season at WL (Dec31/07) and it really made my day. You took 1 hour out of your busy schedule to show me around and I will never forget it. Keep inspiring the Vayniacs.

Thanks go your way for motivating us when we are running on fumes.
Thanks!
April 2nd, 2008 at 3:45 pm
Flat out, you’re welcome. Thank you back. None of us are alone on this planet. It’s nice when we all acknowledge the basic human kindness of “strangers.”
April 2nd, 2008 at 3:48 pm
Thank you for producing such excellent content… You deserve your success!
April 2nd, 2008 at 3:50 pm
You are welcome. Always good to hear your views. I’m only sad that we have never had the chance to meet despite having watched you for so long and e-mailed etc.
April 2nd, 2008 at 3:51 pm
Hi Gary, you’re an inspiration. I tell at least one person a week about WineLibrary.tv (Honest, not B.S.) because I think it’s great and worthy of mention. I have a WL sweatband on my desk that co-workers ask me about. I talk about the news coverage you got in Star Ledger, NYTimes, Letterman, Ellen because I think you’ve done a great job with PR and found a great niche of making wine less snobby by demystifying it.
Hopefully I’ve turned a viewer or two on to you.
I wish you continued success. -Roland
April 2nd, 2008 at 3:52 pm
Very Nice Buddy. You are very welcome. It’s because you are truly humble that I keep watching.
April 2nd, 2008 at 3:52 pm
GaryV…your humility is humbling. It’s always a treat to watch the vlogs as it inspires me to “pass-it-forward” to my patients and others in cyberspace. I also love it when your peeps are walking around in the back. You’re magnetic bro!
April 2nd, 2008 at 3:58 pm
Character and values are two things that have lacked in the overall marketplace of life… And Gary, you have both!!
Way to bring it back.

April 2nd, 2008 at 4:00 pm
Flat out…thank you for these vids here.
April 2nd, 2008 at 4:02 pm
Your attitude is always motivating.
BY the way, the house next door to me is selling. Still think you would make a great neighbor. Sure you don’t want to move to Hawaii?
April 2nd, 2008 at 4:07 pm
Gary thank you for your inspiration, energy, role modeling, and for stating this so eloquently and plainly.
I am extremely humbled that some folks have started to cheer along my little bumblings and stumblings, and the way you express that sentiment is exactly what I would want to say too.
April 2nd, 2008 at 4:15 pm
Thank you! I could be watching anything on the internet but you are what I watch because of your humility and your entertaining personalilty along with the value of feeling like I actually connect with someone that I really don’t know in a way that I would with someone that I do know…does that make sense?
April 2nd, 2008 at 4:16 pm
Man what a humbling video. Thank YOU!
April 2nd, 2008 at 4:18 pm
Thank you Gary, I look forward to watching your video every day when I get home.

April 2nd, 2008 at 4:21 pm
Stop! You’re giving me a Scoble Moment with this one (i.e. tear-in-the-eye). We’re all a little better because of you. I may have very little free time, but the time I spend watching your shows (all of them) is so so worth it. I’m deeply inspired by all that you do, and by your other viewers as well : )
April 2nd, 2008 at 4:35 pm
Because of the time difference these videos come out right when I’m about to begin my day of work. Perfect start to each day!
April 2nd, 2008 at 4:38 pm
Thanks YOU Gary. I love your videos. Please keep them coming.
Cheers,
Dave
April 2nd, 2008 at 4:38 pm
Gary I just started watching your videos, but I am so glad you make them. Thank YOU!
April 2nd, 2008 at 4:42 pm
thanks for the affirmation and the appreciation. this is a trait and a practice that we can use to “pay it forward.”
April 2nd, 2008 at 4:42 pm
Sweet, to the point, human-recognizing ‘Gary Gem’. Thank you to you, Gary!
I wonder what it’s like to work for you - that could make for an interesting video. Your description of what it’s like, employee interviews…
Also, I wonder what it’s like to live in your house/be in your family, and that could be a really cool vid, too - interview the kids, the wife - I’d just love it!!
April 2nd, 2008 at 4:49 pm
Hey Gary. Love your website and Winelibrary TV. You are doing a great service for the new media revolution. Keep it up!!!
April 2nd, 2008 at 4:49 pm
flat out; way to go, gary, thx!
April 2nd, 2008 at 4:57 pm
Thanks for the thanks!
April 2nd, 2008 at 5:01 pm
your welcome, but its your fault for making all the things you post so thought provoking and WLTV so damn addicting. Keep it up
April 2nd, 2008 at 5:16 pm
I’ve been watching your vlog from the beginning, but this is the first time I’m leaving a comment. A lot of what you talk about is in reference to business star-ups and Web 2.0, but I find that your messages resonate in my life as well. I’m a medical student, and although I have not for a day doubted that this is my calling, lately I’ve started to notice that I feel somewhat detached from the patients. I’m usually the one who puts in the extra hours to get to know the patients and address their questions and concerns after the attendings have left the room. As a student with limited knowledge and skill, there is nothing more satisfying than seeing a patient’s face lighten up when he or she finally understands that one medical jargon that the physicians have been using for years and never cared to explain in much detail. Yet, lately I feel like I’ve been walking around the hospital like a zombie - impatient, exhausted and expressionless. This really upsets me. The amount of energy and passion you bring to every single installment of WLTV and vlog never seize to amaze me. Whether a person comes across your video on episode 30 or 430, you bring the thunder to each and every one of them. I only hope that I can do the same and bring the thunder to all my patients and colleagues. Understanding and staying true to one’s own DNA no matter what anyone else says, believing in change, cultivating 95:5 relationships, all the while staying humble and open-minded :). You preach and I listen!
Of course I take your tasting notes on wines even more seriously :P.

April 2nd, 2008 at 5:23 pm
Keep doing this vids, Gary. Loving them–thank *you*
April 2nd, 2008 at 5:30 pm
I can’t thank you enough, Gary for bringing us your positive energetic messages on a daily basis. Even though you are so busy and so in demand, you take the time to impart your message. I can definitely say you inspire me to get out there, brand myself and do my best to make a difference in the world we live in, but always in the spirit of giving.
Again, and always, thank *you*.
April 2nd, 2008 at 5:38 pm
what a wonderful video! thank you!
April 2nd, 2008 at 5:41 pm
Thank you too man! I’ve started really looking forward to watching your videos, they always either leave me thinking more deeply about something or just plain smiling! Keep it up.
April 2nd, 2008 at 5:48 pm
Thank YOU, GV, Thank you! Seriously, you have been an integral part of me learning about wine over the least year of my 3 year wine learning experience thus far. I know I have tried more wines, read more articles and books and just expanded my wine knowledge overall more than I would have without GV and the Thunder Show. So, really, THANK YOU.
April 2nd, 2008 at 5:48 pm
OMG garyvee, these comments are endless. You rock, seriously, I sent your Web 2.0 = 1985 hiphop vid to the whole agency yesterday
(And, thanks.)
April 2nd, 2008 at 5:57 pm
Hey Gary,
Thanks to you mate, you have it because you deserve it.
I met Tim Ferriss today (btw, he has a huge respect towards you and your work), and he also has this blatantly natural vibe. He is who he is. You are who you are.
That offering of your DNA in raw form is UNCOMMON to see Gary. I appreciate your openness, and am working daily towards tapping into my core too, before I “brand” myself out there.
Your posts are good singposts towards that realness.
Gracias!
April 2nd, 2008 at 6:14 pm
You’re a class act, Gary.
April 2nd, 2008 at 6:15 pm
Right on! This much needed & most honest attitude is fortunately still prevalent but we bloggers who scarcely have an audience beyond friends & family start to think we’re the only ones still amazed & grateful. There is no message more worth sharing & revisiting so when you DO need to rehash.. ~_^

April 2nd, 2008 at 6:43 pm
We all forget to say thank you and stay positive from time to time. Thanks for the reminder!
April 2nd, 2008 at 7:10 pm
Gary… As everyone said… Thank you! After your speech on Monday night, I’ve been thinking about how amazing you are and how there are few truly “Mensch” like people left in the world.
You are an inspiration for the whole industry and the world!
April 2nd, 2008 at 7:21 pm
While watching this video I really felt the concept that ‘loving begets love’ and you can play with the word ‘love’ in all sorts of ways, but expressing kindness and gratitude to you varied audience (which includes myself of course) brought about a reciprocal feeling of gratitude in me.
So, in short:
thank YOU for spending moments of YOUR own life to create media/expressions of yourself to share with the internet-world. I can’t speak for the rest of the audience but I know that it has been *more* than once that something you did (a funny winelibrary video, a garyvaynerchuk video, or a little Tweet) has made me happy during the day.
PS: I laughed at how my “in short” portion of the comment ended up being longer than the first. Oh well
April 2nd, 2008 at 7:27 pm
Thank you, Gary.
I’ve learned that the attitude of gratitude and acknowledging good deeds are two big cornerstones for keeping happy friends, happy customers/coworkers, happy family members, everyone.
Sometimes, it’s just good to feel appreciated. So thank YOU!
April 2nd, 2008 at 7:28 pm
Thank You GV and back at ya - Awesome Vid !!
April 2nd, 2008 at 7:33 pm
Gary, I thank you!
You’ve inspired me so much, keep on sharing with us, boss.
April 2nd, 2008 at 7:35 pm
thank you!
Your thoughts go beyond “internet celebrity” and hype. I’m looking forward to the journey. What’s will we all be talking about in 5 yrs? The good ol days before AT&T bought Twitter and added it to every phone its sells ?
April 2nd, 2008 at 7:35 pm
Thank you Gary! You’re Radool!
April 2nd, 2008 at 7:49 pm
Um, ya, sure, you’re welcome.
April 2nd, 2008 at 7:59 pm
Thank YOU gary!
All I can say is, cool stuff. We’re all so lucky. The wine world is so lucky. Your family is unbelievably lucky to have you.
Peace and Health,
Rajiv

You don’t need to thank me! Your the one dropping thunderbolts of goodness down from the internet clouds to inspire those who follow you. So cheers to you!

big man making everyone feel the love of life.
April 2nd, 2008 at 8:29 pm

April 3rd, 2008 at 12:03 am
Wow gary, I never thought I would be replying to the chuk.com because I’m such a vayniac, but I catch these episodes every once in a while. Today your vlog was splendid on the chuk.com, you deserve the SHOUT OUT! I’m busy with school and all but maybe this summer I could drive up to Springfield to shake your hand. That would be SWEET! Later gary!
April 3rd, 2008 at 1:35 am
Bless you. I am grateful to know you.
April 3rd, 2008 at 6:47 am
I watch your vids in the morning and it is hard to have a bad day when I do. You are welcom and thank you, Gary. You are doing a good thing. It is cool to see someone who enjoys what they do so much.

Keep up the great work Gary!!
April 8th, 2008 at 12:23 am
No thank You! I’ll raise my glass to that.
April 10th, 2008 at 5:58 pm
Gary, you’re articulating why we get excited about the promises of new technology, and the connections it makes possible, when so many people just see buttons and textfields in browsers.
Don’t stop doing what you’re doing - the world would be a sadder place without you doing what you do best!
April 15th, 2008 at 1:55 pm
Hey gary
I have know who you are and what you do for about 3 months (not really been a regular visitor of your blog, i know u better through viddler)
anyway i ordered a wine library tv sweatband about a month ago
TODAY it arrived
I was so stoked to get it, as i live in the UK i didnt think it would get shipped here. Totally forgot about it till it arrived to day
just wanted to say THANK YOU keep doing what you are doing. You are a true internet hero, along with a few other people (one day with my blogs etc, i hope i can join the internet hero elite like you too)
I will defiantly be coming back and visiting your blog from now on XD
