    When Gary resorts back to the ‘ol superhero QOD, we know he’s ready to go home.

    When’s that Gary Vaynerchuk action figure gonna be ready?

    Hope you’re having fun on your vacation, Gary. :-)

    QOTD: Hm… Hard decision. I’m going to go with Professor X. I’ve always wanted to be telepathic. ;-)

    Great Episode.

    QOTD: Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Brian, yes I’d call her a superhero. Carefully crafted too, always avoided any story that would cast her in a less than heroic light.

    I’m with yah G-Man Tocai is so underrated by consumers, I’ve tried many a conversion but so many people stick with the P/G.

    QOTD: When i was young my grandfather was pretty much a superhero.

    I wish I had taken better notes when I was in Italy. I drank so much amazing wine that I can’t even remember the names of anymore. Live and learn I guess.

    QOTD: I would have to go with Batman. I really liked the imagery of Gotham City. And I had thought of it until reading another post, but I’m sure he could put a lot of wine in the Bat Cave.

    Have never tasted the Tocai F. Intrigued.

    QOTD: Easy, easy, easy one…the one and only FLASH!

    QOD: Neo. Yeah the trilogy ended up a bit cheesy and preachy, but didn’t you want to learn Kung Fu and Jujitsu in 0.3 seconds too?

    When I was a little kid, Danger Mouse was my favorite! Definitely my all time super hero. I was also a big He-Man fan. Didn’t get into the comic books as much. When I started watching WLTV I didn’t drink white wine at all. Now i’m constantly finding different ones that I adore. I can’t thank you enough. Can’t wait ’til you get back.

    QOTD It’s got to be Batman…..love the secret cave….I wonder how much wine he could fit in there.

    QOTD: Spiderman! But specifically the one in the newspaper. I’ve been reading it since I could read.

    good episode! I love learning about new wines that I haven’t had yet.

    Gary, Tokaj is not only a Hungarian wine, but Slovak as well. The Tokaj region spreads from north-eastern Hungary to south-eastern Slovakia. And that’s completly enforced by the EU law. Please, do mention Slovakia, next time you’ll be talking about Tokaj. Do it for me, please.

    QOTD: Pacho hybsky zbojnik is my superhero.

    QOTD: Don’t know too many super heros really, never been a big comic fan. I don’t really “connect” with any of the comic book movies too much either, so I’m gonna have to go on a pass on this one, with 10 z’s.

    QOTD: Doctor Who. Is he a superhero? He is to me!

    Wow!Did not even know that grape variety! sounds interesting…

    Is the Oak Monster a superhero?? Nah, I guess not…

    Call me predictible, but Spiderman has to be part of the list… Daytime geek, night time superhero brings the T.!

    QOTD: I could say Batman and I wouldn’t be lying but that’s not too exciting so I’ll go with Gunwitch from the Nocturnals.

    GV,
    Great episode. I love Italian wines, and i really like Arneis. I am certainly going to try the Tocai.
    QOTD: The chick from Fantastic 4. Okay, really it’s Jessica Alba, and whatever superhero she wants to be.
