Pure gold. This episode truly warmed my heart. So many classic moments, where to begin?

“Sniffy Sniff? What is that? BULLSHIT.”

Your father is a complete, 100% BADASS. And I agree with those who remarked upon Sasha rocking a Bond villian-esque look, though I detect a little Steve McQueen in there, too.

I would like to meet Sasha, I think we have the same intention when it comes to wine purchasing…

QOTD: Economic “crisis” has already ended. However influx of cash into our system is certain to cause inflation.

G-Man, glad you developed your amazing palate! Sasha is very easily pleased, which is sweet but… got to find that Portuguese wine! That made a big impression and we all love those WOW wine moments.

Great show – fun to watch you guys bicker, it’s hilarious!

QOTD: 3Q 2010.

GV – I think you gave away the sex of your baby during the show if you listen carefully.

Hi Gary,

I’ve been a lurker for quite some time, but feel compelled to respond to your two-part show with Nicolas Joly.

Nearly all of your shows are great – entertaining and educational – but the two shows with Joly took your project to another level entirely. You’ve raised the conversation to a high (almost spiritual!!) level, without compromising your commitment to accessibility and entertainment.

Those episodes showed us that there are kindred spirits with the “vayniacs” who have been in the wine world forever – humble caretakers of the land – but whose presence gets overshadowed by the stereotypical “wine snob” image that has been propagated for far too long.

Congratulations, and keep up the wonderful work!

Great show.

I never thought I could sit through a 30min show on the internet.

Your father is a smooth cat.

Something to aspire to eh?

Hilarious episode!
Gary, I think you should make your dad a guest at least once a week. He’s a great sidekick.

Ditch: Yeah I caught that “him” comment too

Forget the college crew or whatever they were called; when it comes to hilarity you and your father win hands down.

Love the father and son interaction – that really is how it should be.

Completely forgot about the wines during the show but this will certainly go down as a classic.

….and I think you mentioned the sex of your baby when you were discussing your father being a grandad…mmmmm

What a great family episode!!! Sasha rules!

A Ziessen Pesach to you and your family!

Gary your dad is awesome – he’s also the perfect foil to your show character.
He seems like the type of fellow who would never say anything bad about a wine he sells, because if he -really- didn’t like it, he wouldn’t have bought it in the first place. But now that it’s on his shelves, he is all about making the sale. Very neat, traditional old world salesman personality.

The show was sort of all over the place, but still enjoyable to watch.

Fantastic episode, Gary. Sasha, you were awesome!

QOTD: I agree that this is not the place for a political discussion, so I will remain non-partisan and leave it at this: I do not believe it is our obligation to unconditionally support ANY president, especially if they want to turn the country into something it was never intended to be. The last handful of presidents, democrat and republican alike, have grown the government to astonishing new levels and given it an ever-increasing level of control that directly transgresses what the founding fathers had created and intended this great country to be.

As for the economy, I don’t know how long it will take to recover, but the chances are we will be well into a recovery before we ever realize it or can definitively say we are in a recovery.

Oy Vey! I get to meet the infamous Mr. Sasha V. Great show, but as a mench as they say, I have to ask what makes Kosher wine Kosher?

I’m down with Obama, voted for him, and support him. I tried but could not support W in the least, quite the opposite, although I agree with Mr. V’s point of view.

GV I think your dad rocks. I love his facial expressions.

I want to know what that Portuguese wine is that Sasha was talking about. Mot, link it up!!!

Loved this show. Has your Dad been a guest like this before? Can you have Mot link that up? Give Sasha his own category in the past episode page. That for your time Gary, keep on keepin on

One of the best episodes ever. You two feed off each other so well. It would be nice to see your dad stop by more often. Today is the perfect example that everyone has their own taste for wine.

QOTD: I think the economy could go either way right now but I do see it starting to find its feet again. I agree with your dad that some people will build out of this economy to create something big. You and your dad show what is best about this country, that anyone can do something great with a little hustle.

Keep Crushing it!

I like to think that this economic crisis may open peoples’ minds up to try wines that are a good value and still delicious! 2006 Louis Martini Cabernet Sauvignon (from Sonoma no less!) for $12 anyone?

Best Episode of 2009…so far. The family love, people stopping by, cute baby, just incredibly enjoyable.

Also like that SV appears to think that GV is full of it. This makes me want to go do a video blog with my dad immediately.
