Episode #7 – Visiting an Iconic Wine Shop in Los Angeles
Continuing his Thank You Economy book tour, Gary Vaynerchuk finds himself in Los Angeles and stops by legendary west coast wine shop, Wally's Wine and Spirits. He picks a couple of interesting whites to taste, one a sauvignon blanc and semillon blend from Australia's underrated Margaret River region, the other a hugely hyped California Chardonnay from a somewhat young, red-hot winery.

QOTD: Only been there once, but my wife loves Sprinkles Cupcakes. So can you only tell if a Chardonnay will last 5-10 years if you taste it or do almost all CA Chardonnays and French White Burgandies last that long?

LOL! Me too! If I didn't have family there, there is no reason for me to go there. But I do love the wine shops there. Wally's is pricey, but loved the Wine House, nearby and 20/20 also nearby and pricey but unique.
