[...] I was proud to introduce my pal Gary Vaynerchuk during his Boston taping of Wine Library TV. It was a lot of fun and hopefully I can do it again [...]

Thanks for bringing the thunder to Boston! It was great to meet you, and was a great night. I agree with all of the positive Q&A comments. You should definitely keep that up!

QOTD: That the New Kids On The Block are reuniting of course! Just kidding!

Seriously: Fenway Park, Faneuil Hall, Public Garden, The Daily Catch Restaurant in the North End (it’s mouth watering good)!

I was in Boston last May, and one thing I really like about it is the way the town is such a mix of old and new. I walked from the North End through the Common to the Newberry Ave area several times. Really enjoyed it.

Thanks so much for coming up to Boston GV (and Matt)! It was a really fun night and it was great to meet you both! Thanks for answering my question too. And I have to agree with you on that Syrah- eek, rubber glove city! yetch.

QOTD: Where do I begin? The North End, Mike’s Pastry’s, the great bands…and especially the accent.

QOTD: BOSTON! That’s where I spent two years of my life before the fall of 2007 when I moved out here to LA. SO, I liked the peeps (my well-missed Boston amigos), the proximity of the whole city, the college atmosphere, the roof decks atop the brownstone apartments on hot Summer nights, and jogging along the Charles River near the esplanade and the Public Garden… and riding my bike through Beacon Hill… and walking Hanover Street in the North End while breathing in the intoxicating aromas of fresh basil, garlic, and olive oil in the historic Italian neighborhood, the home of my relatives.

QOTD: Faneuil Hall / Quincy Market or the crowds on Lansdowne Street after a RedSox game… Boston Common, Beacon Hill, howabout Newbury Comics? Really need to get back to Boston again!

Really like Fenway Park and the scene around it with the bars and everything. Of course, I saw the Cardinals beat the Sox in extra innings, so that didn’t hurt the experience!

Boston is not on the west coast. They are about as far as they
can be away from me in California.

Goin to the 500th at Crushpad, bought Gary’s book and will
be there whether I like it or not.

Love the intro, love the shirt, will have to finish the video Sunday as I’m heading off for Santa Fe for a couple of operas with my friend Robin. I just tried some Chilean rose at a wine tasting and was very impressed.
QOTD: I love the Robert Parker (not the wine guy) Spenser series based in Boston. I personally have never been to Boston.

QOTD: It’s user-friendly. The airport is small, functional and close to town, which itself is beautiful, walkable and easy to navigate!

There are two types of people out there in the peanut gallery. The ones that love Boston and the ones that won’t admit it!

QOTD: Fenway Park, The North end, and the Night Life
