Great episode in my opinion. Sasha is a wise man it seems. I love the charisma between you to. Somewhat jealous of it, but hey!

I know how it is coming as a immigrant, and it’s a amazing feeling. Wish you all the best!

Love,

Ian

Have you ever tried the Baron Herzog Chenin Blanc, it was the first fine Kosher wine I ever tried, i.e. not Manishevitz, and I still think its one of the best Kosher wines out there. What do you think?

There is decent wine out there that is kosher. It is usually $20+ a bottle. I won’t even mention the name because I forgot how to even spell it. ( Hagafen?) Anyway I stopped carrying it because of the entirely rude attitudes I got from people requiring a decent kosher wine at a Manashevitz price. “Never again.”

This is such a great episode! Love it when Sasha comes out and really love the relationship between the two of you. The best pair.

QOTD: We won’t be recovered from this downfall for a very long time, but I agree this is a time of great opportunity for those willing to work hard and take it.

Sahsa is the best! I love it when he is on! I think that we will not get out of the down turn for at least a year. I do support the President 100%. I think that your dad brings a lot of life to the show. Thanks! Cheers guys

Catching up on some episodes. Can’t believe I missed one of Sasha’s! Great episode guys. I think Beuajolais, especially the Cru’s, are the perfect summertime red. Just too hot here in FL for big reds in the summer (at least when the suns up).
QOTD – We’ve got at least 1-2 years before we start to see the economy turn around.

Your Dad is awesome. Think its ok for your Dad to talk politics.
1. He’s your dad
2. Mine does same thing… just in Vietnamese ..& not with 80K+ viewers
..Probably 100K plus since your dad is on

Ethnic Dads are great… Let him talk politics. It actually kept me wanting to stay till end of show & hear what his opinion is…

Thanks GV

Great show! Sasha needs to be on the show more often.

QOTD: When the Cowboys win the Superbowl which will be next February.

Gary, it was great to see your Dad on the show and you two have a fantastic rapport. Reminds me of the relationship my Dad and I have and that’s a great thing.

QOTD: I thing we’ll be seeing things start to turn around as soon as within the next few months and things will be a lot better come the end of the year.

Positivity, got to have positivity.

GV – enjoyed the show! You and your dad have a nice chemistry. You can tell that you will argue your points, but your true respect for one another is woven throughout.

QOTD – Q3 2009 will see the decline stop. Q4 2009 will see a stabilization and possibly a slight uptick. 2010 will have us back to normal.

Much as I enjoyed this show, I was awfully disappointed with these picks for a kosher episode. There is SO much great kosher wine out there–you know that better than I do–and to pick $5 Don Alfonso for one of three kosher wines isn’t doing justice to the kosher market. I’ve also never been impressed with Barkan and wasn’t at all surprised that their chard was unremarkable. Please do another kosher show soon and taste better, more interesting bottles! I’d love to see you try Ella Valley, especially the chardonnay and/or cab franc.

Gary love the Kosher Wine video and having your Dad on was great.
I couldn’t agree with you more that the Yiron is way better then the Don Alfonso.

Will be sharing this with my people catch you later and have fun on your cruise.

WOW! What a wonderful show today.
Just catching up on the episodes since I got back from my wine travels and I have to say that was one of the most enjoyable shows I’ve seen – not necessarily for the wine content (although Sasha’s view on the Don Alfonso Cabernet was fantastic)but for me we witnessed a great double act of Father & Son being born. I demand to see more of Sasha…can we have him back at least once a month?

How about a “Wine Politics Show” hosted by Sasha along the lines of the “Mondovino” debate – now that would be real fun!! (at least for me).

It’s great to see a Father and Son so at ease with one another.
Sasha’s views were priceless!!!

A great winemaker of world renown once told me that his Father left him a great legacy to think about…”No matter what you do in life and no matter how successful you are, always remain humble with the people you meet everyday”
