Street Sommelier w/ Gary Vaynerchuk (New York, NY)

Midtown Manhattan

In this jam packed episode of VendrTV, Dan teams up with internet wine superstar Gary Vaynerchuk of Wine Library TV where the two cruise the streets of Manhattan pairing wine with street food.

On our first stop we were joined by Zach Brooks of MidtownLunch.com at Kwik Meal, a cart which recently won MTL’s Street Meat Palooza 2.

Gary threw a fast ball, pairing the platter with a 2008 Premiado Torrontes.

Then it was off to meet up with Jerome Chang of The Dessert Truck. There we sampled his award winning chocolate bread pudding, as well as my favorite, the warm chocolate molten cake. Quick on his feet, Gary whipped out a 2006 Tohu Pinot Noir, which paired perfectly with the sweets.

Enjoy!

  • Well done Daniel! Keep it up man, I'm hungry now and I'm headed out for food.
  • omg, drinking wine from the bottle! X( This man definitely IS a street sommelier, or perhaps just an ivrogne :-/ Well at least it wasn't French wine! :p
  • junius
    Man I could use some Pinot right now. Have good food and some friends over.
  • really fun show, looking forward to seeing more episodes!
  • You can thank Mott for me being here (nice job on the "link it up").
    Seriously a great show. I really enjoyed it and will be checking out a lot more.
  • Rick! Awesome dude. What would we do without Mott's awesomeness?!
  • NYChar
    I enjoyed your episode with Gary and Zach on the street food + wine pairings, and it was great being a part of the taping yesterday and meeting everyone in person!! Thanks for the free wine - send it on over! I work right down the street from Dessert Truck:D
  • Yea! Good times. :)
  • Free Wine! That's almost as awesome as Vendr.tv...love you guys. Thanks for keeping me updated on the US food cart scene as I travel all over Asia researching my own food cart to open in Portland, OR in the spring! xo
  • NO SHIT! That's awesome! Where are you in Asia right now? Do you have a camera? Would you be into creating a video for us?
  • I am in South Korea right now and will be heading to Thailand in a month. I have already hit China and Japan. I have a camera and would love to shoot some stuff for you. What would you be interested in?
  • That would be SICK! We can find a spot for it on our site for sure! Let me know how this develops. :) Thanks!
  • That made me hungry! Yumito.

    Great episode.

    xo

    elizabeth
  • Awesome! And I eat food off the ground too. However, drinking in the public... that's nice. I don't think we can do that here :(
  • Well, like us, you can do it anywhere. The only issue is not getting caught. I say, brown bag it and hope for the best. Nothing classier than taking a lady out for street meat and brown baggie vino. :)
  • ONUMello
    Where's the sniffy sniff?? :P Loved this- I thought the only place it was legal to have an open container in the street was New Orleans!
  • ONUMello
    No sniffy sniff??? :P Love the drinking on the streets- I thought that was only legal in New Orleans!
  • True - but you know - with the small bottle openings it'd be more like a snorty snort, and that'd be just so uncomfortable.
  • Great episode! One of my favs so far!
  • Ms. Cooley - many thanks. really appreciate the fact that you're watching and enjoying the show. have any good street food lately?
  • ARE you kidding me!!!!!! Gary is do damn EXTREME!!!!! I though I was extreme. I'm sitting at my desk at home smiling. By the way, Daniel... STUPENDOUS having Gary on your show! I've never even heard of you but NOW I KNOW WHO YOU ARE! I'm not a drinker at all so I know JACK about wine but I swear Gary is gonna make me get into it. I'm one of those loyal Gary followers.

    Hi, new friend! Loved today's show! Keep doing watchu do! :) Hottness, man!
  • LINDA! You rock. Glad you were able to learn of the show!, It's ok that you don't drink much, as long as you're eating street food. :) Where are you from?
  • I'm from sunny Orlando, FL! I have a cool litle blog on Wordpress. Go check it out when you have a minute. Anyway, there are no street vendors like New York here in Orlando. You gotta have a permit for just about everything here and Mickey Mouse has to sign off on it. You know what I'm saying? LOL
  • True true - though - perhaps the vendors in the magic kingdom count? or in EPCOT's germany? what do you think? if so.. I'm thinking REMOTE VENDRTV EPISODE!
  • And the Pinot Noir wins the day!!! Great show!
  • Haha! Yea man, it was so delicious. One of the best I've had.
  • Are you a wine "connoisseur" as well as a food eater?

    LOL
  • I don't know - My nose is OK. I definitely drink more wine than all other alcohols combined, but I'm much better with street meat than pinot. Yourself?
  • Gonna love this episode, as always!
  • nathank
    Dan, great work as always. Great to see Gary on this episode. Keep crushing it!!!
  • Ah thanks man. Glad you're digging it.
  • Chuk, that was gross. Eating food dropped on the dirty sidewalks of NY can't be healthy.
  • I mean, we consume a ton of dirt already...
  • J3rome
    I wonder if Cleveland OH has any good street food. Probably not.
  • Jen
    If Cleveland had people on its streets...then maybe there could be street food for those people. However...it's a ghost town. Nohio!
  • I have no clue, but I need to know. I just tweeted the question, hopefully we'll get some answers for you!
  • Epic job, Dan.

    I've been hooked since the Morin episode - keep it up!
  • Sweet deal dude!! Will do. :)
  • mjdinsmore
    I think eating the chicken falls into the "5 second rule" where it wasn't hanging around on the ground too long. Kudos!
  • Agreed!
  • kittenchan
    pinot vino!
  • juxcallmebob
    I never win anything...ever.
  • David
    Wine and street food, who would have thought?
  • bionicgrrrl
    Gary cracks me up. What pairs the best with the taste of NYC streets?
  • Probably something with a huge amount of minerality, or a smoggy gasoline component. haha
  • If i win the pinot I'll substantiate a bribe yet to be determined.
  • I love Torrontes, its a great white very underrated. You need to do another Jackson Heights show.
  • Agreed! Where would you like to see us visit this time?
  • hye
    Will you deliver those wines to Montreal?
  • Personally! I'll hand deliver them. :)
  • hye
    Nice! Well, if you come all that distance just to deliver wine, I'll give you a food tour of Montreal. No food carts, but lots of great places to eat. We could eat our way from one end of the city to the other.
  • hye
    Nice! If you hand deliver them to Montreal, I'll give you a personalized food of the place. :)
  • LarryD
    That's really eating the street Gary, Great fun. Glad you guys brought Zach along.

    I'll have to try the Torrontes, Argentina's putting out some great wines lately, and why not pair it with lamb.

    Pinot Noir at Jerome Chang's Dessert Truck, in the afternoon... or was that morning?
    Good thinking!

    Great episode, Lots of fun.
  • cbartlett
    If I win the Pinot, I suppose I'll have to go get that chocolate bacon monstrosity.
  • You most certainly will. It is, after all, quite delicious.
