Hello everybody and welcome to Wine Library TV, I am your host Gary Vaynerchuk and these my friends is the Thunder Show a.k.a the internet’s most passionate line program and today, we are focusing on the wines of Burgundy specifically the Gevrey Chambertin. I am quite excited about this category.
But before anything else, I have to give a major thank you to all of my friends who came over for Labor Day. It was great seeing a lot of you. All of you I have not seen in a while, a lot of fun. I want to give a big thank you to all of you especially big shot at the Gary Van. A good school friend. He is a Ramp’s fan, Jets and Ramps played this year. We are going to finally beat your face in. I am excited about that. And I am also equally excited about finally doing a proper red Burgundy show. And I think we are going to do quite a few of these. Again, I made a promise not too long ago as much like coifing up a storm over there or what is going on. But I made a promise in the Wine Library TV before and which by the way. Let us link it up Mat. Let us link up the form, if you are not part of the form, a lot of great discussion about wine in there, a lot of things. It is an interesting crew but definitely a lot of fun. So, please check it out. I promised the form the other day while I was on vacation in Jackson Hall. By the way, great time, big apse to Jackson Hall, a lot of fun that I was getting really into this fourth quarter of Wine Library TV. I am really conglutinated and I feel like I can pump out great shows.
So I hope to do that for you. I am enjoying screening live in YouStream. Let us link up YouStream as well. Maybe our live page that we have within ourselves so people can check that out. Usually around 3:00, 4:00, 5:00 Eastern Time, you can catch their live shows. I have got some big news on Secret Packs; a lot of you have been asking when are they going to get a chance to taste along with me? I am going to hopefully do that tomorrow or the next day, so, big secret pack news, big news about the Thunder Crews including maybe your certificate found in a secret pack for a free cruise trip. Now that is crazy.
But, let us really get into the wine. That is kind of what I want to focus on. I love to response. I love all the Web 2.0 stuff, but what I really want to focus on is the wines. When we get more into that, I am really quite excited. So many more people expanded their palettes trying new things and that is giving me such an adrenalin rush, just a high knowing that people are trying new wines, tasting them and we really are changing it. We are starting to have an impact. They have a lot more wineries and win distributors and people in the industry emailing me saying, “I am a fan of your show.” So this I did not realize. It is all about serious mind stuff my friends. And speaking of serious wine stuff, let us talk about Pinot Noir from Burgundy specifically Gevrey Chambertin, which is the largest appellation found in the Côte de Nuits. It is about 990 acres designate as Gevrey Chambertin. A very limestone driven soils, limestone gravel, clay like limestone, a very interesting part of the world in producing some great premier cru but really great Gevrey Chambertin style wines, 50, 42.
Now this one gets a little crazy. It is a bucket in a quarter. It is a premier cru. We will get into that a little but we have two 2006’s and one 2003 vintage. The vintage that a lot of people are talking about is ’05 and we are going to be doing a separate show just a ’05 Burgundies. But we got 2006’s which is exciting and we have a ‘03 which is normally a vintage because it is very high in Europe in 2003’s – much higher extract. A very different kind of vintage, I am very excited about trying the Serafin. I have heard nothing but great thing about it so we have got that for last.
Let us start with the first wine, the Guillon Gevrey Chambertin Pere Galland 2006, 100% Pinot Noir, $50.00, you have to understand that these are all Pinot Noir based wines from Burgundy and the whites are chardonnay based wine. So it is a chardonnay and
