Gary Vaynerchuk on Conan O'Brien Again

Host of Wine Library TV and now author, Gary Vaynerchuk, took his internet celebrity back to Late Night with Conan O'Brien last Monday night, May 12, 2008. This was Vaynerchuk's second appearance on the show and served as an opportunity to promote his new book: Gary Vaynerchuk's 101 Wines: Guaranteed to Inspire, Delight, and Bring Thunder to Your World.

While neither man chewed grass, dirt, or tobacco the segment was still very entertaining with Conan playing off Gary's tasting different types of wine perfectly.

As you saw in the above clip, the Gary's focus this time was to show how different food, will bring out different tastes in the wine. He also showed how inexpensive bottles can be found that taste like much more expensive wines. This has been a recurring theme on Wine Library TV.

Gary continued making the rounds in support of Gary Vaynerchuk's 101 Wines, by making an appearance on Mad Money with Jim Cramer. On the show he commented on a few of the companies in the wine and spirits biz.

Gary Vaynerchuk on Conan

Vaynerchuk Conan

Tonight, Monday May 12, 2008, marks the second appearance of Gary Vaynerchuk on Conan O’Brien’s late night talk show. He will undoubtedly be discussing his new book: Gary Vaynerchuk’s 101 Wines

His first appearance on August 1, 2007, was hugely successful.

As you saw in the above Gary Vaynerchuk Video, he takes a very unusual approach to helping Conan build his wine palate.

He has Conan first eat grass with grapefruit to illustrate that it has the same characteristics as a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. Next he has them lick rocks soaked in salt water to show that it tastes like a Sancerre with its mineral flavorings. Their third wine is a red wine for which Vaynerchuk has them eat dirt, cherries and tobacco to train their palate. The final wine is a Pinot Noir, which was featured prominently in the Oscar nominated movie Sideways. Vaynerchuck and Conan remove their sweaty socks and wrap them in asparagus. They suck the sock and bite the asparagus to mimick the burgunday flavor.

I can’t wait to see what Gary Vaynerchuk on Late Night with Conan O’Brien will be like tonight. Over the past nine months Gary has continued to build his brand as well as his audience for “The Thunder Show” aka Wine Library TV, but his style hasn’t changed a bit.

As I mentioned above, Gary will most certainly talk about his new book. When Gary first announced the book on Wine Library TV, it instantly rose to number 36 on the Amazon Bestseller List. We will discuss Gary Vaynerchuk’s book in our next post.
