Congrats #612!! I agree with you on Southern Rhone wines. They are good and usually a good value. They are real and not fake. QOTD – I can’t give you advice, but I’m sure you will be blessed with a son or daughter. Enjoy every moment.

Congrats Gary! There must be nothing like the feeling of achieving the top survival goal of any living organism…. reproduction! I don’t have kids myself but am the youngest from a family of 7 with many nieces and nephews to look after. The greatest advice from my observations has to do with developing their palates! Two of my nephews were raised with the daily choice of what they wanted for dinner. If my sister was making something the kids thought they didn’t want, they would hold out ’til she would make them something else “just so they would eat”! As a result these kids are now 10 and 6 and are scared to try anything new!! Do yourself and their palates a favor and keep them on your eating schedule… If they don’t want to eat it they must not be hungry! This was how all 7 of us were raised without a question about it and we are all unspoken gastronomists with 1 somewhat renowned chef among us! Cheers!

Congrats! The thing about kids, you grow to love then and then you grow to know it’s time for them to leave. smile. Will baby Vaynerchuk be doing a bottle tasting show?

Very good show. nice to hear about the backgrounds, though never can find MOST of your wines here in NC! I do love Super Tuscans a lot.

QOTD: One advice: talk to them, give them your thoughts and values, don’t let them find it themselves. Take them occasionally with you, each saturday I took one kid with me for most of the day. So matter what I was doing – working, gardening, volunteering, etc. That way they have a piece of you in their heart and spirit. Best wishes to Lizzy as she raises you and the child.

Congrats Gary!!! You are going to be a great dad….

…. on that note, while tasting the Castellani La Cattura I think you implied that your son/daughter will be drinking wine at 5 years old!

Came looking for Wednesday’s show, but it doesn’t look like we are having one. Oh well. Congrats on the wonderful news.

One other little bit of advice – - you can probably get away with saying that you and Lizzie are pregnant right now, but as she gets a little further along you may want to change it to, “Lizzie and I are expecting.”

You’ll be able to share in the birth of your child, my friend, but I don’t think you really want to be claiming that you shared the pregnancy.

Like another commenter, I”d love to know what 2009 wine you are going to put away for your child’s 21st birthday.

Congratulations, Gary and Lizzie! My husband and I are due on June 30 with our first child. Don’t know the sex yet either, but am excited to find it out.

No parental advice to give yet, but I’m hoping to learn a lot from the comments to this show.
