Product Description
Millions have logged onto Gary Vaynerchuk's Wine Library TV—watching him boldly and unconventionally rate hundreds of wines. Viewers are attracted to his youthful energy, unique voice, and often outrageous descriptions. Now, in Gary Vaynerchuk's 101 Wines, Vaynerchuk reveals his first ranked list of the most exciting and tantalizing spirits he has sampled while traveling the globe.
Deeming himself "the wine guy for the average Joe," Vaynerchuk avoids the pomposity of traditional educators. Unlike wine guides that lack animation and lecture rather than inspire, 101 Wines shows you how to develop the necessary go-drink-wine attitude. Vaynerchuk encourages you to trust your own palate—stressing that your love of a certain wine makes it good regardless of what the experts or the price on the bottle say.
Vaynerchuk's recommendations span a wide range of prices, nations, grapes, and styles—allowing everyone from novices to connoisseurs to expand their wine horizons. Unlock the secret to why Vaynerchuk labels wines "From Ruins to Riches," "Red with Fish," and "Not Your Father’s Spumante." Discover wines that taste like ones 10 times their price. Read as Vaynerchuk illuminates his top choices with vivid terminology such as "Bring the Thunder" and "Riding the Rainbow." Demystify conventions that once limited your wine-tasting desires. Journey through wine styles and break down barriers with his technical notes and stories behind the vintage. Smile as you realize you too can become a wine aficionado.
With your newfound knowledge, you will out-entertain and enlighten your friends, host extraordinary parties and treat your taste buds to an exhilarating ride. So if you are ready to become a "Vayniac"—one devoted to selecting wines based on Vaynerchuk's innovative principles—grab that corkscrew because a wine sampling adventure like no other awaits.

5 out of 5 stars Gary is the man....   June 18, 2008
 0 out of 1 found this review helpful

Gary Vee has done what many have tried and few have succeeded in doing-- he has made the wine world accessible to people who are not brought up in that world.
His enthusiasm and character may be the driving force behind Wine Library TV, but it's his knowledge that cements himself as a true wine Expert.



5 out of 5 stars An easy read & a ton of fun   June 17, 2008

Gary brings it down to earth with thunder. He brings tons of fun to a potentially boring topic. I haven't read a reference book written with this much enthusiasm. This easy read is sure to turn you on to all the right stuff. I sincerely hope this is not his only book.


5 out of 5 stars Wine descriptions like you've never seen before   June 16, 2008
 0 out of 1 found this review helpful

Like Wine Library TV, this book had off the wall descriptions of great wines. Gary provides so much detail, you feel as if you've already tasted the wines. It is refreshing how Gary does not keep using the same 10 descriptors of wine like many other critics. This book will also get you to try varieties and locations you may never have considered. Well done!

5 out of 5 stars A Wine Book for the People, All the People   June 13, 2008
 0 out of 1 found this review helpful

Well, I just finished reading the book for the second time, frankly it is a book that wine drinkers need to buy, but non-wine fans can also enjoy. Here is why: if you are into wine, Gary's perspective on how different wines strike a chord with him issomething we should all learn to appreciate and look for in wine. His quirky adjectives and his preference for giving wines human personalities is very, very entertaining.
Non-wine fans will enjoy that as well, but will also benefit from Garys' outlook and joy of life and love of family. It sounds weird, as this is a wine book indeed, but I think other non-wine fans will enjoy it as well...
