   This episode goes into my top 5. WoW! I laughed my ass off. Great job Gary. Way to do it proper style.

   QOTD- Best bargain I ever got was a trip out to Napa with my Dad who gets a 50% discount at a famous winery, let’s call it Grgich Hills.

   Holy cow Gary! You went nuts for D’Brick! “That was Smart! That was Smart!” That was probably the funniest thing i’ve seen in a long time! Just wait a couple of seasons for when the 49ers play the Jets….oh it’s on…it’s on like Donkey Kong Yo!

   If my memory serves correctly, there is a modern take on the Gingerbread Man story (circa 1992?) called the “Stinky Cheese Man.”

   I had a cheese in Rome that I was really into, but my friends all said it just “tasted like mold.”

   Last year I had seats to US Open for Friday night and Saturday day session. The Friday night tickets were Arthur Ashe (the big stadium) seats. The Saturday tickets were courtside in Armstrong (small stadium). Total value was about $150 give or take. Friday was cancelled due to rain. This affected me in a very serendipitous way on Saturday. First, I ended up getting to see Agassi’s last match on Arthur Ashe. This match was rescheduled and I would not have had the chance to see this match otherwise. It wasn’t the best match but it was part of history and I was glad I was there. Second, a lot of matches were shuffled around due to the weather and some top seeded players ended up playing on Armstrong. This usually never happens. The top seeds almost always play in Ashe. So that afternoon I saw Men’s #2 Rafael Nadal and Women’s #1 Amelie Mauresmo play good matches. Finally, because of the weather, they added a special night session on Armstrong that was all general admission. I was able to trade my previous night’s ticket for that special evening session in Armstrong. And because I was already in the stadium from the day session, I got to keep my seat for the night session, which included none other than Men’s #1 Roger Federer. Even though he utterly dismantled his opponent (big surprise right?), being able to see the maestro up close like that was also a once in a lifetime opportunity. So for $150 I saw (among other matches) Agassi’s last match, Nadal, Mauresmo, and Federer up close and personal. As Gary would say, “that’s an out and out steal at that price.” Oh yeah, then I snuck back into Ashe to see the James Blake/Tommy Haas match.

   woopsies. hit the trigger too fast again.
   GREAT episode, Gary.
   Oh, man, those bargains. A man after my own heart with that playbill story. I keep hoping I’ll pick up some crappy painting at a garage sale and it’ll be worth a million bucks…but I’m more likely to be one of those people trembling with excitement on the antiques roadshow, all smug with my treasure, only to find out that my hand-carved Peruvian maracas are worth $50.00 and I have to pretend like I’m delighted about it, but my quivering lips give me away.
   ..anyway. QOTD: Lovely, flawless floral china serving plate- FREE from some drunk putting his stuff away early at a flea market asked it I wanted it. Don’t mind if I do.

    QOTD: A night in Vegas where a cab driver took us to four or five strip clubs and paid for our entrance and a drink for each of the three of us (over $100 per club) because he was getting paid to take us there. We all profitted; it was beautiful.

    Great episode,Gary. My girls while babes referred to Provolone as “stinky cheese”, they were more the cheese-in-the-can type.

    Hey Gary,

    Great episode. Trying to catch up on all of the 222 other ones is killing my studies. It is much more interesting so I can’t help myself. Cheers!

    Gary,
    Great episode. I have a glass of wine and a piece of cheese every night when I get home from work. It truly is on of life’s great pleasures. And the good stuff in the wine cancels the bad stuff in the cheese, so don’t get all torked up about your cholesterol when you eat some cheese.

    Also, you are a hell of a salesman. I am seriously considering ordering some $250/bottle wine. Never thought I’d do that.
    Will have to try the cheese. Looks good.

    Best ASS-STINKY episode EVER! I may go run 20 miles tonight and then put the socks in my mouth just so I can step inside the Dodger’s ballpark of what this ep may have tasted like. Thanks, GV! QOTD: I usually get ripped off. No good bargains here.

    Nice to see you so pumped up, Gary. It does not bother me one bit. It contageous; it pumps everybody up. You see so much tragedy on the news this days, ie Virginia Tech, similar things right here in our own backyard, that what can be more pleasing and happy than to see Gary V doing Friday on a Tuesday. THANKS for opening and tasting such an expensive (and delicious) bottle for us. QOTD: I won’t answer it because it is the second time you ask this question, but I can tell you this: every single bottle that I have bought from WL (except for maybe one) represents a bargain in my mind and heart. For one, because they are all prime quality, and for two, because of WLTV. WLTV makes WL wine come attached with love. Kudos to you, GV.
