Fun show!

QOTD: On a first date, I like to get a simple dinner. Relaxing environment, enjoyable wine with good conversation.

Great Show! I also like the Elio Perrone Barbera D’Asti– I have it on my wine list by the glass. Like Gary I thought it would be a better value than any Chianti at the same price point. Thanks!

I really like this one as well. I agree w/ chuck. We need some beer reviews. I really liked the beer one you did before, maybe like on every couple of months or so.

Nice show. Fun guest too. Would love to see you throw a couple beer themed episodes at us.

QOTD - Best first date I ever had - Took her for a hike in a local park, surprised her with a picnic dinner and a bottle of vino.

Dates are fun. Order the wine, if she likes it (and you do too), you’re golden, if not, it wasn’t meant to be.

QOTD. Sorry, I’ve been off the dating market for decades. Mrs. Sassodoro and I will celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary next week.

I think the best first date approach is to not go to the movies or someplace where you can’t talk. We went bowling for our first date and then played pool and had a great time. Great episode Gary and great guest!

GV - good show! Shout out to the funky brown chick!
QOTD - I think that the most important thing to do (if you are really interested) is to let the person know that you are a listener, you are a companion, you are caring, and that you make them feel comfortable to be around you.
I met my wife 23 years ago and we were freinds before we dated, which made falling in love much easier!

The wines appear to be quite intersting and will add them to the list. Lord, the list is getting long.

Now married for over 24 years, could not think of a first date approach if my life depended on it.

Great show with a great guest.

QOTD: I think my safest first date move was to not have a move. I always found just being myself and going with the flow worked best. If that’s a move–so be it. I think a tip for a lot of guys, and some women, is to listen to the other person. So often we are worried about trying to make conversation happen that we don’t allow it to develop naturally.

QOTD: The first date has got to be somewhat casual, maybe even lunch, and I like doing something or going somewhere that is new for both of us, which gives a reason for laughter, conversation, and sharing an experience for the first time. The zoo is always a good bet here.

Nice show! You really rock when you have a guest on the show. I really enjoyed that one and seeing/hearing her reactions to the wines. Very interesting.

QOTD: Let’s see, I’ve been married for a fairly long time so “dating” as such does not exist. But I think doing something a little unique on a first date is cool - however, there has to be quiet time involved to be able to talk to each other and listen to each other.

Great show. I really appreciated watching a strong, articulate woman discuss her wine likes and dislikes. I’d like to see more bloggers on the show

I think that lots of eye contact and the occasional touch on the arm work well for that first date. . . if you are interested that is.

I’ve always found a few playful insults to work remarkably well if you can weather the initial storm.

Justin Winery!!! I think they are the winery that comes up to Rainy Pass Lodge during the Alaska Iditarod which makes them instantly desirable for me, being an Alaskan.

QOTD: It’s been so long since I’ve been on a first date. From what I remember, Steve and I would usually go to the local coffeehouse for dates. It was nearby, inexpensive and one of the most interesting and relaxing places in town.

QOTD: I recently took out my girlfriend to a great wine tapas restaurant and I asked her to pick out the food and I will pair it with one wine that will best pair with all of them. She loved it, I loved it. The Sommelier loved it because I got him involved by judging my wine choice. Basically, we both were involved in the decision and lets just say we had a wonderful evening.
