Gary: Hello everybody and welcome to Wine Library TV. I’m your host Gary Vaynerchuk and this, my friends is the Thundershow a.k.a the internet’s most passionate wine program and as you can see sometime when we have pretty ladies here we say we pretty up the show. Today we’re going to smart enough the show because I have an amazing guest. Look at this, I’m not even sitting in my normal left side of table because it is nice little couch. I’m here with the wonderful Dr. Nick Perricone. Doctor, thanks for being here. Dr. Nick Perricone: Thanks for inviting me, this is great. Gary: We’ve an amazing bottle wine from this collection, a 98 Pomerol. 1998. It was a very interesting vintage because extremely exciting on the right bank and a little bit less exciting in the left bank so any with low base points of 98 really brought the thunder. We have a Belgrave Pomerol which I'm excited to try. It came out the 30s, you know 40s now. It probably $60.00 or $80.00 wine, so what happens with the Bordeaux but what I really want to do was you know kind of hit me and I said you know try some education. Why is it healthy? Why is it good, what’s good about it and you know I know about the one world but I definitely don’t know the health benefits? You know I read the same stuff. You guys can read but I thought before that had Nick here kind of, Nick you know couple of quick questions. First of all, before we get to the stuff you really know what your wine world like? Are you a big wine drinker? Did you drink once a week, once a year not into at all, through the years? You had a big rally in the 90s. Where do you stand in your wine world? Dr. Nick Perricone: Yeah, right now you can less find I guess say 10 years ago. Gary: Yup. Dr. Nick Perricone: Very specifically for personal reasons but I have wine now about once a week. Gary: Okay. Dr. Nick Perricone: And I’m truly enjoy it but the benefits of wine drinking are enormous and I’m sure you all heard something about the French paradox and of course— Gary: Let me show it real quick. For a lot of you, you may not know this especially the younger demo, the CKC’s, big shout out to all of you. There was a 60-minutes piece, what was this? This was like the 90s right and when the CBS 60 minutes piece do you remember? Exactly, try to remember when it was like early 90s and it was complete insanity. Literally, the next day at Wine Library back then shoppers discover liquors. People were coming in that they’ve never drink wine and we’re asking us for to buy red wine because you know doctors across the country and just because of that 60 minutes piece people start saying “Oh my God Red wine is good for your heart.” Dr. Nick Perricone: Yes and that was beginning of revolution but you know science continues and you know scientist are great because they’re curious. They want to know how it works and why it works and essentially of course, I predict it that red wine would be working well because I said way back in early 80s that anything that has great colors, things as antioxidants, the oxygen is present. Antioxidants are naturally anti-inflammatory and process is like heart disease, cancer, diabetes, aging, those are all related of low grade information. So that information likes heartburn this kind of slow burn that’s going outside our arteries, our brain and all of our working system do want lower information and one way to lower that information is a beautiful red wine like this. Now scientist that make some progress and they’re looking at a substance called resveratrol which is very specific. Gary: May I jump here in now. Resveratrol, a lot of you have asked about backing this resveratrol insanity. This happened about three four years ago right? It’s been about two three four years now and it came out and people said we’ve pinpoint it. What it isn’t red wine that makes us happen and that seems to be like the new topic of conversation? What is your take on that, what have you seen about that? Dr. Nick Per
