Gary Vaynerchuck: Hey everybody, it is Gary Vaynerchuck, today is a very special Friday laid back episode of Wine Library TV. It is obviously a little pun, having a little fun, obviously, very excited about the new series starting on HBO this weekend.
So you know, take it with a grain of salt. I know a lot of people are going to like “Oh, why are you doing silly shows.” We did one back in episode 69 Matt linked that up. I hope you will enjoy this, we are having a little fun today on a Friday.
We pumped out 500 shows mainly serious about Wine Library. I am taking a little twist today. I think you are going to enjoy it, and it is going to be a very, very good show. And of course I have to give my prediction for this weekends football game, Jets 27, Dolphins 14, well on our way to the greatest season of all time.
So layback with me this Friday, sit back watch the show, I think it is going to be pretty interesting, let us give in to Friday’s episode.
(Finger snap)
Hello everybody, and welcome Wine Library TV. I am your host Gary Vaynerchuck, and this my friends is the thunderous show, a.k.a. the internet’s most passionate wine program, and we are very, very lucky to be tasting what we are tasting today. This is a very special episode.
Obviously, we have all been reading the news. We are all very fortunate that this amazing has been put together by the Yakanomo Corporation in Japan. They have found a way to make this synthetic blood beverage, and because of that, we are all fortunate now that the vampires do not have to go around and, you know, take us out, because they can actually drink this.
So that is very exciting bringing a lot more peace and harmony into our world, which I think we always, always need. Now, so they got four types. They have O type, the A type, the B type, and the AB type.
We are going to focus on, I believe the A, yes, and the red-hot selling O type that is just flying out of the source, you know. The Blood Advocates score 95 points. I mean big score so I am very excited about that.
And you know, it is always about expanding your pallet here on the Thunder Show, so even though these blood synthetic drinks are not made for humans, and I promise you, I am not a vampire, not that there is anything wrong with that.
I will be expanding my pallets today, and tasting these two wines. If you want to find out more about the other types anything about that, you need to go to trubeverage.com.
Matt, link that up and let us get right into tasting, I mean, are you excited about this?
Matt: Really psyched.
Gary Vaynerchuck; Yes, I mean let us see what is going on. Zoom in right here. Here we go with the Tru*Blood, 100 pure A type, zoom in there Matt.
Now, these are retailing anywhere between 15 and $20 a pop. So they are kind of pricy, and you could see nice and thick there. See what is going here. Let us give it a sniffy sniff.
Matt: Nice color.
Gary Vaynerchuck: Now, I am allowed to drink this right. You know I am still a little worried, I think you can. You know, I mean, when I cut myself, I am all up in my blood all every time.
So I got to feel like I can do that, let us give it a sniffy sniff. Very dark, almost like very tannic, reminds me of a tannac, believe it or not.
If you were going wine terms, which I am, I am a wine guy. Coming through with almost like blackberry types, but obviously it smells like blood, I mean, we all smelled blood at some level, so it does come across very bloodlike and very dark though.
And you know, very “tannicky” on the nose, I would say. Let us give it a whirl.
Clearly, a very different density than I am used to with the Vino, the grape juice is a little bit thinner. This is some thick stuff, you know, sometimes I talk about thick milk-like characteristic? This is very difficult to consume.
I mean, it has really taken over my entire pallet, and I am not even sure how I am going to taste the next one. I am invasive. Has a nice mint pallet component to it.
I like the transition. It gets a little darker as it gets toward the tail end. Some good len
