Another great episode. I can say without any doubt you will never be type cast. You give us headpicking and jockstrap salad the do a complete 180 and hit us with this. WOW. On top of the stellar performance I received my T-shirt today.
I tend to bet Nick knows more about enjoying life than most of us. Biggups G-Man, way to rip a tear jerker.

Shout out to Nick. I liked the glasses blowing off the table, too! Sooo funny. But we’re running out of winter here in NJ for Gary to encore the episode.
Gary, may you never change.

Well, Gary clearly has something special here. I’m just sorry that there’s a whole year that I’ve missed. Gary, no matter what you chose to do with this very cool thing you’ve built, I suspect your fans will stick around, cheering you on. Class-A episode. It pulled me out of lurker status. Now I’m a real invisible fan, drinking my invisible wine.

Yeah, big lump in my throat too, Gary. Last Friday my wife and I had three beautiful kids in our store, all under 17 years old, from Ranken Jordan Pediatric Specialty Hospital to show them and have them experience what a florist is all about.
I took more away from them, than they could ever in a lifetime take from me. It humbled me to my core. They were not only a joy to be with, but their courage and strength to live the best they can each day affected my wife and I, hopefully forever. Not to mention their affect on how I deal with my petty day-to-day issues compared to those they have to struggle with. Their presence in my store blessed me, in ways they will never know.

PS: Nick my Man! You’re one of us! I knuckle you, buddy. Go Jets!

It’s occurred to me before, but this episode confirms it: Gary is actually around 70 years old. Not sure what the deal is with all the black hair (Grecian formula?) and why he pretends to still have ups when it comes to hoops, but he’s too sensitive for a 30-something Jersey guy. His outlook on life reminds me of my grandfather (who’s a good guy too).
Given that today’s email will apparently help keep GV’s WLTV episodes going strong, we all owe Nick, don’t we?!
Nice ep, you goofy septegenarian.

Nice episode, Gary. The world’s a better place because you’re in it. Kudos to your mom. I’m sure you were a ‘difficult’ child. 😀

Gary, you are the opposite of the Tin Man in the Wizard of Oz, in place of cold tin, you have a big warm heart of gold, and you ARE right, you SHOULD thank your folks for giving you lots of love tempered with discipline (best thing of all is when a kid has someone raising them who truly loves them and takes an interest in their interests). Karen–great job, you sound like just the kind of mom, the IDEAL MOM, that I’ve just described…could you please post here and let us know what kind of reaction Nick had when he found out that he was featured?

Nick was beyond thrilled to see his special episode yesterday. The sheer delight on his face said it all. Nick will put episode #191 on his iPOD and keep it forever. Funny, Nick started watching WLTV (over my shoulder) because he said that he liked the sound of Gary’s voice…and it took off from there. Personally, I am extremely touched that Gary would extend his time and effort for a little boy he has never even met. All that Gary has done, has meant a great deal to Nick and he felt very special. Nick thinks you are the greatest Gary, and more importantly, now he knows that you are his friend. For all that, I can’t thank you enough.
PS…Nick asked to read the comments and was absolutely giddy with all of your well wishes, thank you so much!! -Caren

LI Wine Rocks…My Favorate was the Pindar 1998 Mythology I still have 1 left in the fridge. Another one of my goto Reds from Pindar is the Pythagoras blend, however the last bottle I had wasn’t up to Par, but a wine that clearly delivers almost all the time. When I lived on LI I used to love going to the harvest events on the noth fork and love tasting all the wine good and bad. Its a great time and should be experience by ALL of you who are in Driving Distance of the vineyards.
Other LI wine to look for and ones I enjoyed are LENZ, Bedell, Osprey’s Dominion, Wolffer and of course Duck Walk are all making good juice. I sure do miss it. I have family binging LI Wine to us from NY to FL when they visit.
Enjoy

What heart! What humanity! Thanks for being a great guy. Thanks for making wine about people and not pretensions. Thanks for loving your fans, for building community, for expanding the wine universe by making it so much smaller. Good show. Glad to have found you. Now, we’ve got to get you on wine of our times. this must be rectified.
