Gary, just had the cattura (11 months after you said maybe 6 - 12 months in the cellar it might be great) and it was great... yo nailed the window what a cool wine... total bargain and great to experience teroldego! will be getting more this weekend!

When you say Tuscany, I say Sophia Loren. And here's to hoping my Magnum of 1997 Fontalloro is as good as the '05 and ready to drink now!

"Don't handicap children by makeing their lives easy," Robert A. Heinlein. Be passionate about your child. Think of your kid as a Blessing from God. Enjoy every minute you get.

Congratulations! I'm so happy for you and your wife! Best of luck and keep bringing the thunder. I can't wait to try the the Cote Du Rhone.

Gary; MAZEL TOV!!!! I always run about 2 months behind watching WLTV so I just watched 606. May you and your family know nothing but good news and joy!

Congratulations Gary!!! Considering how passionate you are about wine I have no doubt you will be an incredible father. I hope the little tike will make an appearance on the thunder show.

Gary my advice to you is you need to bring home your work. Congrats!!!

congrats gary and lizzy!

Congrats! Love the show, you are one of the most entertaining people I've seen in a long time. Love the Sniffy Marker reference!

Congrats for you and Lizzie! I'm sure you'll be an amazing family.
All the best

Congratulations, Gary! Im so happy for you and your family. Its an amazing step in your familys life and the journey is going to be unforgettable. All the best to Lizzie and I hope you have a wonderful and healthy child.... SALUD! QOTD: love love love ( sorry, no kids yet :( )

Gary--Congrats! It is the best thing! Advice from a father of an 8 month old little boy...First three or so months is really hard, but after that...nothing but smiles. It is amazing how a little guy (or girl) could add so much to your life. May you have a wonderful little Jets fan!

Hey- I was waiting for that! haha
Congratulations, Gary- You'll be an amazing Dad!
(And of course Mott will be a great Mom!)
: P

Hey hey Gary and Lizzie. Congratulations and all the best as the day comes for you two to enjoy parenthood. Another Gemini makes the world a better place.

Hey Gary, Congratulations! I've been busy, and I'm trying to catch up watching the episodes. However, as a psychologist who has worked with children and adolescents, my answer to your QOTD comes in three words: Loving, Reliable, and Consistent. If you strive to have these three qualities with your children, you are on the right path.

Congratulations Gary! I don't have any kids but I do have a Maine Coon and I find that changing his water everyday keeps our relationship strong.

Congratulations to you and your wife for the new addition to your family. Great news...

Congrats GaryV! I have two young boys... this will be better than any of your other successes!

QOTD: Could say all kind of mushy stuff, but I'm sure that's covered. Take a crap-load of short movie clips of candid situations with your kid. (Most people take the photos or "event" videos already) But those candid shots of your kid just saying what's on their mind are 10000x cooler even just 6-months from then. They change so much and sometimes you forget they have until you look back.

Fluids. Parenting is all about fluids. Enjoy and congrats.

Gary many Congrats!!! Much health and happiness to you and your family! xoxoxoxo!

QOTD: Say what you mean, and mean what you say. Hold them close, but give them some space. Read to them, early on, and keep it up. Let them read to you as well. Expose them to a variety of activities, and let them choose. Don't fill their day with organized activities, though. Love them and tell them you do, often. Wish you both the best!

Congrats! My B-day is May 31 too...along with Clint Eastwood and Brooke Shields. Your baby will be in excellent company!

Yeah, contrats to you and your wife! Fantastic news. You're going to love being a parent!
Keep us updated!

Gary, tremendous news and a heartfelt congratulations. You will make a terrific dad. My advice to you is to start drinking heavily- just kidding!

Just catching up on my WLTV and, wow! Congrats Gary and Lizzie!
QOTD: Give love and support, no matter what

Well done GV you and your wife are in for a hell of a ride!!!

QOTD: 1 Breast feed it's the best start you can give them.
2 Make sure you both get time to yourself (you'll need it for sanity)
3 Read to your kids everyday.
4 Kids need routine (for their sanity)
5 Create memories
6 Just let them be kids don't make them grow up to quickly.
7 Have fun !!!!!!!

Congrats on the great news!

Good news mate all the best to you and Lizzy.
Lots of love from Australia to your to be expanded family.

GV!!!! This is amazing! Congrats to you and Lizzie. I am super pumped.

Congratulations Gary and Lizzie. Make sure you read the poem "On Children" by Kahlil Gibran in the book "The Prophet". Wise words for a wise father-to-be.

Congratulations!

Congrats GV!

Congratulations LV and GV. Learn to nap.

GARY!! CONGRATULATIONS MAN! I am so sorry that it took me this long to comment on this HUGE announcement, but I am absolutely thrilled for you and Lizzy. Truly. I know this will be the most significant changes of your life, and with your strong family values I know you're naturally cut out to be a great father. I have no personal advice to offer, but as a son among four siblings, I can tell you that as long as you love, respect, and support, and loosely guide your child, then he or she will make responsible choices and find their own path. Cheers.

Congratulations Gary - it has been a while since I was last on and doing a little catch up - health & happiness to you & your family.

First of all, sorry for being so late in the comments - just catching up on some episodes this afternoon. 2nd, a huge congrats to you & your wife. You will be a great Dad I am sure - if you bring the same enthusiasm to parenting as your show

QOTD:
1) Never wake a sleeping baby
2) Dont sweat the little stuff; give your kids a solid foundation of principles early & the rest will take care of itself.

Now, our question for you - what bottle or bottles are you going to put away in the cellar for 2030 (when your child turns 21) - do a show on it - taste some candidates. We would all be interested to know.

Congratulations Gary - this will be the best thing ever for you!

QOTD : Hang in there! It's not easy, but it is amazing - keep hustling.
