Don’t be dissing Brett, the football gods won’t be happy. Not to mention WIvayniacs. Packers 27 Giants 17. Patriots 31 Bolts 10. Jets 2nd pick in draft or is it 3rd?

Welcome back, GV! Nice job Mott. . .I really thought was doing the show this time around.

QOTD: I don’t travel. . .which is kind of sad. BUT, I’d love to go to the Wine Library. I wonder if I could fly back with some wine? Or would airport security drink it all just to make sure I wasn’t up to any shinanigans.

Not sure if I like how you started the show hate’n on my Packers and Favre. I may have to re-think watching WLTV…

Naw, welcome back.

Enjoy it while you can Mott the Packers got the game next week. Gary talking bad about the Packers sorry they can’t be like the Jets and make only one appearance in the Super Bowl 39 years ago. It’s all in good fun. Sorry about your loss and hope your year goes better.

QOTD: None planned but that can be changed.

Welcome back GV!

I might be moving back east-ish this year and if I do, I’ll make it a point to come and visit you at the wine lib.

Nice to see you back Gary. You can’t retire Sniffy Sniff. My boys and I sit at the laptop every night to hear you say that. You would essentially end my wine time with the boys (age 10 and 3).

QOTD: The wife and I are planning a trip up and down the coast of Michigan to visit the local vineyards.

Great show as usual GV.
QOTD: Napa Valley -first time bringing my wife and my first return since 1994. I can’t wait!

QoTd: None yet, but the year is young my friend. Realisticly, Napa or Sonoma is where we would go – coming from San Fran. But that might be wishful thinking!

Just when I thought I might never get my WLTV back … GV delivers! With a wine I’d never even heard of. Yeah, I’m a knob …

QOTD: Taking a little trip across the pond to sample Scottish ‘wine’ and golf. Just a wee dram, laddie, a wee dram!! Maybe a claret or two in the British Isles.

Could I really bring my family to WL for vacation? May have to work on that. You guys have Wii for the boys? It could happen …

“I’m just playing with myself here…” I think he’s combined cold medication and alcohol.

QOTD:

Oh my, that is a good question and one that embarrasses me since I do not have a wine vacation planned. But the offer to hang with you and later an opera at the met is tempting…

Great to see you back … -and- Fine job with the intro, Mott!

QoTD: I haven’t planned any holidays yet … I’d love to visit South Africa and stop in at some vineyards / wineries, but we’ll have to see if that’s realistic.

Gary…Dude,

First of all stop wiggin’ us out with Mott like that, hiliarious! Second I love Mott because he is a huge GIANTS fan. Third if you were a Giants fan I would stop lurking forever. That’s the only fault I can find with you, The JETS?? Come on! Wine, The Giants and Nero D’avola… what more could you possibly ask for. G-MEN ALL THE WAY!!!!!

I think the reason that you’re so wildly successful is that I truly believe that you missed doing the show as much as we missed you not doing it. I am, as a heterosexual man, embarrassed at how much emptier last week was

QOTD: I live near Napa/Sonoma so a couple of trips to those locales

We are going to Piemonte in the fall.

I think for all the Vayniacs when I say- Welcome Back Gary!!!!!! Man, I must be turning into some kind of freak to miss The Thunder Show this much…anyway…Happy to see the enthusiasm is there even after a bitter sweet vacation.

QOTD-No wine vacation planned (not unless Walt Disney World has a wine festival I don’t know about yet)

Welcome back, GV. Nice start too, with some different wines. I am definitely planning a WL trip in spring. Trying to save some bones. Maybe a trip to San Fran and Napa this fall.

WELCOME BACK, GARY!!! We all missed you. I’ve gotta try a nero one of these days…

QotD: Get to honeymoon this year, in France. Hopefully I’ll be able to convince the fiancee to hit up a vineyard or two.
