Gary makes a selection for the show

Gary Vaynerchuk, host of Wine Library TV, was up in the Wine Country this weekend visiting various vineyards. He decided to organize a last minute wine tasting party, co-hosted by Robert Scoble, Kevin Rose and Tim Ferriss, at the beautiful guest house at De Loach Vineyards in Santa Rosa. The event was promoted only via Twitter and dozens of people came out to help consume the 24 cases of wine generously donated by De Loach. Thanks for the invite, we had a great time.

Here are a few photos I shot of the party with my new Ricoh GR II.

Throughout the weekend both Robert and Kevin were live streaming via Qik.

At the party Gary even did a live taping of Wine Library TV. Here’s Robert’s video.

Lori and I decided to make the trek up there, showing up mid-day on Saturday, where we met up with Gary and crew doing a special tasting at the wonderful St. Francis Winery in Santa Rosa, hosted by their president and CEO Christopher Silva.

Scott, What kind of still camera did you use for these shots? They look great.

I was only there virtually…

This was a great party and I’m totally jealous of your new camera. I love your writeups and appreciate your wife’s cleanup. Thanks so much for being such a great guy. I can’t wait for your own party.

Sorry, didn’t even think to read the text for the type of camera. I knew who most of the people were and the story behind the event (so I kinda skipped the content).

I just thought the photos you took were very vibrant(?) even more so inside than out. Is that the built in flash? or are you using the hotshoe?

Thank you again.

Robert – What a great party, thanks for inviting us.

Gary – I shot all of the photos using available light. I’m not much of a flash person. I own a Speedlite, but rarely use it.

:lol: Everytime I think about Wine or Wine tasting. I think of something rather funny.

It’s a Three Stooges short subject, I forget the name of it.

Moe, Larry and Shemp are on a boat. They’re detectives and they’re after a spy or something. Something to do with some camera film.

Anyhow, they end up having a drink with the guy. and of course, it’s wine.

So, they get it. “Pre-War”, the guy calls it. and the boys get their drinks, and I think they didn’t trust drink the guys booze or something, so, they toss it over thier shoulders. and of the wallpaper rolls up!

Larry says, “Pre-War?”

Moe says, “Next one.”

and they take a wife and go “ack!”

Pure comedy gold….

:P

Ooh, looks so fun. I wish impromptu wine parties could happen in Villemoustaussou, France. . . not as many locals on Twitter around there :D

I’ve looked everywhere and still can’t find the sticker for Wine Library TV. The sticker is of a wine bottle, and Kevin Rose had it on his computer! How do I get it?!

Looks like a lot of wine was consumed! No doubt a good time was had by all.
