I wish I could go on a wine vacation but I am buying a 15 acre ranch in the Dallas area this month. About 5 acres forest and 10 acres pasture . Then I will be surrounded by many square miles of forest. I am from Chicago , I have lived in Dallas before, but never owned that much land. Thats my vacation!!!! Maybe I will strategically plant wines around my property and and act like I am doing a wine walk. It’s all about the imagination KIDS!!!!

Good to have you back Gary – hope you got time to actually enjoy your vacation!

I’ll only be happy that sniffy sniff is gone – if it gets replaced with “sniffity sniff sniff.”

Nice EXTREME pour on the last wine, Gary! It wouldn’t surprise me to know that Mott probably got his feet wet on that pour.

QOTD: Man, would I love to come up to NJ and see you and the Wine Library this year! I really don’t know what type of wine vacation we might try, but I would love to go tasting in Washington. Visited Napa last year, and it was great!

Spreading the word about you over here. You mixed up strawberry for definite cherry around the 11:40 mark. For that you get a stupid demoralizing 15yrd penalty early in the 4rd quarter to kill the Giants. Pats > Giants by 17.

MOSS : LINK IT UP!!!

Will see you at the Boston Wine Expo.

QOTD: Taste Washing ton in Seattle…see you there GV
Congrats to the Giants fans on beating my Boys! Did you see the frown on Jerry Jones face? His arms looked kinda long as well, must be from all those Super Bowl rings!

NEVER RETIRE “SNIFFY-SNIFF” or you will lose one of your best viewers.
QOTD: Okanagan Valley, baby! In the spring.

QOTD: I have two actually, (1) Yes, a trip to the Wine Library. I’m a graduate student in Philly so it’s not that far away. (2) Being from so cal, I want to make a trip to Temecula and/or Napa up north over the summer.

Good to see you back Gary.

Nice to have you back this week Gary. Hope your not too ticked about me getting on your case for sneaking into the forums while you were supposed to be on vacation.

QOTD – Two wine trips planned so far. Going to Walla^2 for a long President’s weekend and then we will be in Sicily in September.

Welcome back Gary – I’ve only been watching for a couple of months, but really missed WLTV last week.

Looking for the Chargers to take down the Pats this weekend. Going to Oregon for my first ever ski trip with some buddies and plan to check out the local wines while I’m there. Also will take a trip to Temecula Valley, CA later in the year for a quick wine excursion. Maybe not the best known, but it’s close to SD.

Welcome back Gary Vee! In case you missed it, oyez.org is a great resource for supreme court info. Fascinating stuff it is.

AOTD: I’ve been meaning to go to Cave B winery in George, WA. Either that or down to Walla Walla where I hear they have pretty good wine. I really have no excuse because it’s less than two hours from where I live.

THis was too wierd. I am drinking the Morgante, and decided to check out today’s instalment before calling it a night. ANd GY does a whole Nero show, incuding the wine in me belly. Too cool. I feel like I was one step ahead of GV. Go Sicilia.

QOTD – Lake George. Family friendly.

Hey Gary! So happy to have you back! I’ve been waiting for your episode all day like a little kid at Christmas time!

And please don’t get rid of “sniffy sniff”…it’s just one of your Gary-isms we all love!

QOTD: Funny you should ask! I just booked my flight to Spain for March. I’ll be visiting a friend who is living there for a year and she is planning to take me to several bodegas while I’m there! I’m so excited about that! She lives right near the Rioja region so I know it’s going to be great!
