I have to admit that I cannot resist a glass of wine at times. With age, I have become more careful with the bottle but when I was younger, me and my regular drinking buddies can down three to four bottles of wine at a sitting.

My interest in wine has extended to sporadic wine collection in our cellars. It is not a serious hobby but when friends drop by for a visit, it is a unique gesture to treat them to my prized assets. I joined my local wine lovers club and followed wine trends. Gary Vaynerchuk, of Wine Library TV fame, is one of my favorite experts.

This guy has attained a cult status, his website attracts more than 60,000 viewers a day. I think his unique strengths lie in his irreverent commentaries and strange ways of introducing wine tastes. He convinced Conan O’Brien to lick salted rocks and shared samples of dirt and grass with Ellen Degeneres. He also routinely rants about popular wines, even those sold by Wine Library. In a word, he is not the conventional wine commentator.

WLTV has developed into a bustling community where many users participate in forum discussions and have organized numerous off-site gatherings. They have also teamed up with Crushpad in the past year to create the first ever community wine, Vayniac Cabernet.

There are always new episodes at Wine Library TV which airs 5 days a week, so the site is never boring.
