    Eleventh and now I don’t give a rats patooty what anybody thinks. It makes life a little more enjoyable. You should see my son and I dancing in public. Two year olds cause temporary insanity. Good stuff glad you took the stick out, because obviously that was a problem. :)

    i stopped caring in my sophomore year HS. your credible to me because you say whatever comes to mind and not what makes you look like a professional wine person.

    Hey Gary, I’m a another new lurker that you’re slowly turning into a wine enthusiast. I started watching the Wine Library Reserve episodes on Revision3 and now I’m hooked! I live in the SF Bay Area and I think I’ll actually start looking into some wine tasting events…

    QOTD: My self-consciousness has slowly been fading away ever since I started college. After this past year though I’d say it’s gone completely!

    QOTD: People care about what I think then?

    Just going back and brushing up on my classic episodes. I love this one.

    QOTD: Sorry to say I think I was in college when I stopped caring what other kids thought of me. I was at the bottom of the popularity pyramid. I had issues.

    i never really cared when other people thought. If they didn’t like me, whatever, at least I have fun.

    I wanted to thank you.
    I just started to get into wine last year (2007)
    As you know it is very difficult to dive in. but you have helped.
    my father worked for the PA liquor stores for 40 years. before he retiered 10 years ago, he was one of the most knowledgable people for wine working for the PLCB. he has been very excited to be able to share wine with me finally. but i am so new to it that there is an enormous gap in language and ability to share.
    i began watching you show in october of 2007. beyond your being so entertaining, your effort to make wine accessible has made the relationship between my father and i better. i thank you sincerely and humbly for this.
    i will do what i can to support you and your brilliant show from now on!
    have a great new year!

    QOTD: Probably 11th grade when I became a Cross Country jock that was still in Theatre, but then had to make a comeback socially to prove theatre was where my heart was.

    I don’t know what made me laugh harder. The suddenly appearing spit pail or GV pulling the stick out of his ass. LOL. I’m hooked.

    I’ll admit some guilt in the ‘too serious’ department. Nice to get a little slap to get back to what excites you about things in life. I believe there’s a fantastic quote in the out-takes of Mondovino that talks about this…

    I found this to be an amazing wine, GV hits it right on, but missed one thing. It has some serious heat.

    to a degree i quit caring in the 11th grade. but any shrink would tell you that i never did.

    Unfortunately, I think the question should be the other way around = ) What grade DID you start caring what other people thought?? When you are a little kid, you dont give a damn! And I think it had something to do with when puberty started..haha!

    9th grade. Love the Pillar Box as a hedonistic fruit bomb, but I have never been able to get it under $10 (at which it is still a steal). Would probably drink a pale ale with the gingerbread house, followed by a nice red and pretend it was paired with something. If I’m eating poop, I could probably afford a Burgundy to go with it.

    Gary,

    I thought your “Wine Is Fun” (episode 138) was, well FUN! Honestly, I saw that if I viewed a video and commented on it (LA TIMES) that I would receive a free wine tote bag; therefore, I am commenting. I may even return and view some other episodes. You accomplished your goal through your LA TIMES ad, well done! I like your approach to wine, as well as your “no rules” attitude towards pairing. People have different tastes, of course some things always mesh together, but sometimes people have their own flavors. Well done. By the way, I love German Riesling. Schmitt and Sonne make excellent Rieslings! Goes great with fish and probably many other “dishes” as well, including most seafoods! Keep up the good work. Oh, and hopefully your advertisement was true and NOT FALSE, and I will be receiving a free tote! Thanks!

    In what grade did I stop careing?

    10th Grade for sure. It was a glorious internal revolution.
    Has made me a happier person.

    You made me laugh out loud for about 5 minutes (drove my officemates crazy!) with that stick gag.
