    GV – You’ve prob. already picked, but I vote #1. And, I love Gigondas. Like, a lot. QOTD – Actually, this old family friend created this card game called Wine Teasers which my family plays once in a great while. It’s pretty educational and fun – who knew he was a wine guy! http://www.wineteasers.com/

    By the looks of the glass next to the bottle it seems that glass is the BV 8 Bottega Burgunder by Bottega del Vino. They are lead free and dishwasher safe and are great if you hate washing Riedel’s by hand.

    Cool show. I’m thinking you do a shot of B-12 or some other substance before taping….LOL I wish I had as much energy as you do.

    About the game…..I’ll get to you on that by email. I have a great idea..!!!

    WOOT WOOT! Anna & Derek!!! Congratu-friggin-lations! I hope you guys had a wonderful day…I was enthralled when pics were over! Hottest friggin day ever! And the night…was quite memorable!!!

    Gary, Anna made Derek promise not to bring you into her day…because it was her day (being the comprimising new hubby…he complied)….however, she forgot about the VaynerCHICK in her wedding party..that’s right…me! Who was under no promisory obligations what-so-ever! Yessa! So the Champagne (Sparkling wine, rather) bottle on the table of honor was rocking the WLTV wristband throughout the reception!

    Derek and Lisa, with a little wristband, are changing the wedding! Whether Anna likes it or not!!!!
