Classic episode. That was a lot of fun to watch…

Excellent to see an Okanagan wine make it on the show.

What a hilarious episode! The power of the internet to bring together wine and entertainment from people who do the other as a day job…

QOTD 1: I think Sasha mentioned it on his other appearance. Around 53?
QOTD 2: A politician, in general. If I shadowed someone I admire, I’d feel bad that I’m not in their shoes.
QOTD 3: If Obama is the Democrat’s candidate, he will win. If Clinton is the candidate, McCain will win.

WOW!! Can’t begin to imagine the shame if you’d stopped at 400, Gary. Great, great ep! What serendipitous casting! What fun! (Let the naysayers enjoy a straight Sir GV ep).

QOTD: Sasha’s age: Math was not my strength in school…

Shadow: Steve Jobs â€“ so I could kick his butt every time he started to do something else detrimental to legacy Macintosh. Then I could go after Gates.

Prez: As a Cdn, not qualified to guess, esp. this early. But it is the potential VPs that really scare me.

Now for a bit more Canadian content re the Osoyoos Larose. First, correction on pronunciation of Osoyoos. Uh-soo-yuse. Believe it!

Further to another comment, this from BC wine critic John Schreiner: Osoyoos Larose is the Okanagan wine industryâ€™s ultimate technology transfer, the result of a joint venture set up a decade ago between Vincor Canada and Bordeauxâ€™s Groupe Taillan. The French companyâ€™s stable of distinguished properties include ChÃ¢teau Gruaud Larose.

P.S. Glad to see I’m not alone in thinking Conan resembles a corked wine.

Still laughing with enjoyment. Great show!

QOTH: 72
QOTH: I would shadow the Head Chief at the restaurant that I work at, Rillo’s (Carlisle, PA).
QOTH: McCain (no one thought the Giants were going to pull it off)

Great show everyone

QOTDs

1. 57
2. Manny Acta, Washington Nationals Manager. They’re my team and they’re moving into a new stadium this year.
3. Obama. Nebraska’s caucus is Saturday and two of the bars downtown are having Obama drink specials.

1. 60
2. Jack Bauer, because he’s fictional and overqualified.
3. Someone who’s underqualified (any of them would qualify for that description in my opinion).

great show GV! loved the interaction between the three of you…there’s a very special ingredient that Mr. V (not you GV, your dad) adds to the show when he’s on…sort of adds an approachable gravity to the show that makes you feel like this show is serious and not all fun and games…but fun nonetheless…(did that make any sense?) the selection of wines and subsequent reviews didn’t really add much to my wine knowledge, but enjoyable show nonetheless.

QOTD1: 58
QOTD2: Kimi Raikonnen (he’s an F1 driver) Why? I think I’d learn alot.

QOTD3: nobody seems to say this, but the republicans have NO chance in the next election and we all know it, so my money is on Obama.

1: 55.
2: David Lynch. Or Sidney Crosby.

Holy crap #@^*(&^(* ……….. we pay $40 for the Osoyoos up here in Ontario.
Many decent red wines coming out of BC now ……. out of Niagara area there are also goods ones (whites as well as some reds ….. Pinot Noir, Cab Franc, etc.) . I find many of the styles tend to the old world more then new world.

QOTD 1: Old enough to be the toughest, most badass dude EVER.

QOTD 2: Your dad. Maybe I could learn to be as awesome as he is.

QOTD 3: I don’t know, but it should probably be your dad, he was one intense guy, haha.

Great show!

1) ! do not believe that the coolest guy ever necessarily has an age. sasha is timeless. and hilarious.

2) I would shadow a ground hog so i could control the weather.

3) As much as i want ron paul……i would say the winner would have to be the person with the most votes which should be Ron Paul if America has a chance.

this show got weird, and i liked it.

Fantastic show, Gary! I loved all the guests, and anytime that you can have Sasha on the show, it is great. Pipes…you rock! Enjoy your wine travels.

QOTD:
1. I would guess your dad to be 56.
2. I would love to shadow Gary V. I am very interested in the wine industry from a sales standpoint, and would love to shadow Gary and see what he does all day.
3. WE’RE ALL DOOMED!!!! All the leaders in this country and we have to pick between these clowns???? Bring me a candidate that can represent ALL people in some way, not 50% of the population.

First Jen DIDN’t send me but I’d be sure to return whenever she’s back!!

I’ll be looking for her on CONAN!
q#1 Gary’s dad appears to be around 72 to me.

q#2 Shadow Francis Ford Coppola – He’s got a lot going on and then there’s the wine who could ask for more!

q#3 Going with the statistic that Missouri (also with a rich wine heritage) has picked the President based on their Primary winner for every election since they missed with STEVENSON — I’d have to say OBAMA as much as it hurts this card carrying LIBERTARIAN to say!

#3 – John McCain….don’t neccesarily like it but I think that we are headed for another republican and McCain is A LOT!!!! better than the past few republican dummies.

Chris Bartell
QOTD(s):

GV: I’d say he’s around 60

P: I hate to go with the crowd but I would absolutely love to shadow GV. I mean sure I could shadow the president, or a captain of industry but would they make you feel as at home or just “one of the crew” like GV would? Unlikely.

S: Barring any major gaff by the Democratic Party it will likely be whomever they put up. Though I am dreaming of a Bloomberg Independent run.
