Jen and I did a little Joie v Beringer face off tonight. A battle of rose. Nothing on video, just a little home grown tasting, I’ll tell you more about it next week when I run down all the wines that will save you some money in July!

This weekend, Jen and I are headed to Seattle to meet Gary Vaynerchuk as he takes his 101 Wines book tour to The Elliott Bay Book Company, Saturday at 2p.

Gary Vaynerchuck, director of operations for Wine Library, reaches thousands of wine aficionados via his video blog, “The Thunder Show” (www.winelibrary.tv). Meet him (better than online) and taste a few of his top choices for this year here today, as he answers questions about his new book, 101 Wines Guaranteed to Inspire, Delight, and Bring Thunder to Your World (Rodale). Gary Vaynerchuck’s picks span many prices, nations, and kinds, and he invites both experts and novices to come and share the love of the grape.

But that’s not all, he has some other events when he’s in town.

There’s the sold out schmooze at The Vineyard Table, which looks like a great event, $40 a ticket with only about 50 people sampling and sipping alongside Gary Vee.

As well as an appearance at a video seminar hosted by Reachd.

Gary Vaynerchuk will be at the training to answer questions and give tips on how he got started with video.

I think we’re only hitting up the book signing event, but it looks like quite a Thunder Show in Seattle this weekend.
