QOTD:I was born in 69 so didn’t really “live” in the 60’s but by far the best and biggest influence for me from the 60’s was the MUSIC! Totally changed the music world! Maybe most IMPORTANT tho is the Civil Rights movement that came from the 60’s, lot’s of important shizzz happen in that era. Hard to pick just one!

My favorite thing from the sixties would have to be garage bands, all garage bands. Their music inspires me like no other form of music can. Of course, this music culminated with the beach boys. But there were lots of artists that really rocked hard.

QOTD: I guess I would say my parent’s meeting was my favorite part of the 60s, otherwise, I wouldn’t be here

I wish I could be there tomorrow, I bet it will be awesome!

QOTD: Favorite thing about the 60s is that I didn’t live through them.

QOTD – The birth of Led Zeppelin happened in the 60’s… that’s pretty cool.

See everyone tomorrow at the WL!

Very interesting show, and some great tips for the restaurant.

QOTD: My favourite thing about the 60’s was the movies, The greatest James Bond (Sean Connery), Clint Eastwood westerns, John Wayne war movies and STEVE MCQUEEN.

QOTD: No, unfortunately I will not be attending.

Great Show. Thanks.

QOTD: Hard to narrow it down to 1 single thing. Of course the music and TV shows, but also actually going outside to play with friends. We would stay out all day if we could. Now if you’re a kid, you spend it indoors playing video games or some other media entertainment after you attempt to finish the massive amounts of homework assignments. There doesn’t seem to be any time for the overscheduled kids in this rushed world of ours.

I’m rushing home from a half-day of work to try to get to WL with the hubby around 1:30.

Good job on giving much respect to Martini. A true legend. I’m jealous of the wine AND the wristband (I missed the boat AGAIN!). Awesome show as always!

I love how you rocked out to Heart the entire video! Very cool of that Vayniac to send you those wines. Would be very cool to see his wine celar!

QOTD: I was not born till ‘83 but I would say my favorite thing about the ’60s is my Mom being born! You rock Mom!

QOTD 2: A 10 hour drive and a girlfriend with mono means I won’t be able to make it. I really wish I could be there though! Definitely get some video of the party for those of us who can’t be there.

GV – Excellent show and props to whoever provided that wine, very cool. Thanks for sharing. Where do you even get stuff like that?

QOTD #1 – Wasn’t born yet, so my perspective is off, but the quality of life from what I hear and see seems different, slower and more enjoyable.

QOTD #2 – Can’t make it tomorrow, but I hope to get out there next week on my own.

I hope everyone who is going has a great time.

Cheers.

More props to you GV, another fun and informative episode. Can’t make it tomorrow though, but if you’re ever in Ohio anytime soon… “link it up” and let us know.

QOTD 1: While the Beatles, the Moon race and muscle cars of the 60’s all stand out in my mind… here in Northeast Ohio, its the flood of 69 that always jumps out at me.

And as always great show.

That was pretty damn cool. Very generous of that Vayniac to drop that vertical on you.

1: I was born in ‘66 so I don’t have any real memories of the decade, but landing on the moon would be the most significant thing in my mind.
2: 6 hour drive combined with a packed schedule…love to, but just can’t swing it.

Not born till 72 so…I’d have to say the REAL homerun chase Mantle vs. Maris in ‘61.

And Yep…see everyone tomorrow at the Wine Lib!

IRONIC! Mid 60’s wines! On this particular day!

Enough partying for my B-Day! Better get my ass in bed so can make the event tomorrow!

“65″ BABY!

Wow! Kasha! Good one Gary!

What a lineup of wines!! Big shout out to the cellar that supplied those! Sucks that I’ll miss the big par-tay – pour some out for me! (Nothing too good though.)

QOTD: What happens if the sommelier/waiter DOES ask what you like? Still pick something you’ve never had or roll with their suggestion?

Very good episode. Thanks to Steve for sharing. It is very hard to explain the experience of drinking old wines, it’s something you really just have to experience. My epiphany in wine drinking came from a dinner with several old bordeaux served, and it was a great experience. I wish I could do it more often – but I’m impatient.

QOTD – I was born in the 60s, but the greatest thing from the 60s for me has to be the space program.

I am not attending tomorrow. Would be cool if I could.
