Great show ! Good atmosphere.

Gary, why don’t you open a forum area on this site ? I think it will bring a lot of interest from the vayniacs to exchange ideas and tasting notes.

QOTD1: 60
QOTD2: Warren Buffet
QOTD3: McCain

OMG! What a freakin’ awesome episode! I laughed my ass off!! Jen is awesome!!!

QOTD: Sasha is not a day over 40!!
QOTD2 and 2a) a winemaker at crush time, just to see everything that goes on and get the hands on…
QOTD: Tough call…my vote is for Sasha right now, but since he wasn’t born here, maybe we should all write is Mott for President? Can we have that shirt? But seriously, my magic 8 ball says ask again later…

PS – I’m working in OK for a few weeks and will now be scouring the countryside for some OK juice!!

CLASSIC!! That was the most fun episode of WLTV yet. Gotta love it when you have guests that can keep up with you Gary, especially when they’re easy on the eyes. Awesome job Pipes!

QOTD #1: 62
QOTD #2: Gotta go with Rachel Ray. I’ve gotta know whether that energy level is real and if it is I want to see her keep it up for 10 hours myself.
QOTD #3: I’m routing for Hilliary but my guess is Obama wins

Wonder if WLTV is going to turn to a sitcom during the next 400.
This episode looked just like some crazy reality show. Keep on rockinÂ´!

My guess for Dad’s age is 60.

Sorry Gary…….. Sasha stole the show again!

Of course we have a generation bond; we are in our 60’s.

Gary, you are on point with the Oklahoma wine; juice from California. (Why??)

Sasha is on point with the price structure of some American wines.

Also, extra points for you Gary; trying to focus on the mission! Wine Tasting!
However- you loose a few points for picking on Mott!!

JEN! ROCKS!
I voted for her in that contest…She’s a Vayniac, fer shure…
What a great change of pace show. I was in Virginia last year and suprised at the massive number of wineries although we only could check out one- definitely decent but you are on point with the price issh.
QOTDs
Sasha is 59
I would shadow Anthony Bourdain although maybe not eat everything he does..
Next Prez is Hilary R. Clinton

Hya Gary thanks for the canadaian notice here.
i love Osoyoos, they are usually really tight on the tinnas but sometimes they fail to develop even after decanting for a long time.
however, i believe the BEST WINERY in BC is MISSION HILL. TRY IT. MISSION HILL chardnnay is great and then the Oculus, the boearduex blend of Mission hill, is by far one of the beest ever.

Great show – the Vaynershirt looks great on Pipes

QOTD: a winemaker with love for life and terroir – why? Why am I watching this show? I love it!

Btw Gary: you should train Motts PAL. Install him in the passenger seat more often.

QOTD: I think Sasha is roughly 65 Years young. And as for the President, hopefully someone who can lead. And then who would i like to shadow? I think I would love to shadow Optimus Prime!!!!!!

Isaac
That was awesome…Sasha always rocks!!!! and Jen is awesome! We’ll have to meet up here in LA with some other Vayniacs some time!

What a wonderfully chaotic show it was today. Lots of love to you guys.
QOTD: 1. Sasha must be older than my father so i’ll put him at 64
2. I would love to follow Kevin Rose for a day (he’s almost as bawla as Gary V.)
3. Obama 08!

Man, that was a great episode! I am all about some Sasha. I am going to predict that Sasha is 57 years young. I would love to follow a master Sommelier. Either way, bring Sasha and Pipes on more!!!

Andy
Great episode guys! You’ll have a hard time following that up tomorrow Gary.

QOTD’s:
(1) 39 and not a day older
(2) Tony Hawks- the travel writer
(3) Hillary or Obama, either way it won’t be W!

dave from Osaka (thunderball)
Heh! Killer episode! Sasha’s a pretty cool dude…he seemed especially impressed by the Thundercat display. I’m guessing he’s about 56 or so? Thanks for finally doing some B.C. wine too! Nice.

QOTD 2: Definitly Gary.

To be honest, this was the most entertaining episode I’ve seen. Pops is absolutely terrific. What a down to earth guy and a class act. The reaction to pipes playing with the action figures was priceless!

Pipes was terrific. Definitely star potential.

Amazing EP!!! As always, Sasha brings the thunder! Gary, he completes you! Mott even had the spotlight for a moment, what a show…

1.) Age(s) – Sasha (62) Jennifer (29)

2.) Steve Jobs!!! Apple FTW!

3.) NO politics…but it doesn’t matter Indiana – Republican!

Great episode today. Good to throw in a tangent (or ten) every few weeks and break up the wine tasting.

Sasha’s age – mid fifties?

Commissioner of the Washington Wine Association – be interesting to find out what it would take to do the job.

In the end I think that Obama pulls it out.

Good to know that the Osoyoos is still a bit young. Started picking them up since initial release (’01-03) and have been letting them age. Totally pissed that WL doesn’t ship to Washington, the Osoyoos Larose is $40 minimum at any shop in the area.
