Does his daddy own a multimillion dollar business also? Have not read the book yet but I will-

Gary you are a casual fan- You have never devised a game plan, played a down or coached a play- You are a football dope- end of story

Martika, a Bee, Malbec and a great guest. Another entertaining show GV. So really what kind of discount do you give the ESPN draft cameramen/woman at the store for being on TV so much during the Draft?

QOTD : i never want to retire.

QOTD: When I “retire” it will be a shift back to painting.

One malbec I really enjoyed was a Lindaflor Malbec. Yummy.

I must admit, the first comment was really just to see where I ranked because I have never been in top 10 before, and it was really exciting! So now that I’ve actually watched the episode, I feel compelled to make some comments.

Amen to Tim on the whole grass fed beef thing, how serendipitous that I see it on my favorite internet wine show. I want to start a small scale Texas free range grass fed beef operation. So Tim, if you want to do some angel investing, I surely wouldn’t mind

QOTD: I love it! I can’t really articulate what I want to say about this topic without writing a full on novel, so I will condense it into some cliches that I live by…every day is a gift, so work hard and play hard, enjoy it to the fullest, be thankful for what you have, not resentful of what you don’t have, and count your blessings.

Yo…..now you know I’m retired brother. I think the reason I am retired is because A: I am tired of doing what I did for so many years, and B: I can be.

But you are right. BORING !!! I really wish I could do something with wine and then someday I will not be bored anymore…. but I don’t know what to do. Can you help me Homey? Do you know any god winery’s I can buy? AMybe you want to buy one with me??

Also, I don’t know how to answer the question. I think I’m jaded by being retired so long. I need to get back in the game.

Any suggestions???

sanchez might be good, but pats won the day with a dizzying array of moves.

qotd- retirement is a 20th century “company man” fad. doesnt enter into my plan. gonna buy the book, tim seems to really have his s*@# together and I’ve been trying to figure out for some time what he seems to have already discovered.

With your crewcuts, you guys look like the dudes from Prison break – that’s a complimentary complement by the way. Anyhoo, send on the wristband for this comment, you know the drill, Mott.

Great Show…..loved the guest and malbec. Jets did already with Sanchez, just cut him some slack. I am def in for the thunder cruise in 2010. QQTD, I am a young one so I am not even thinking retirement.

Me, at about 1:45 Saturday: “What the hell? I think that was Gary Vaynerchuk…”
Her, at about 1:46 Saturday: “Who is Gary… who?”
“That wine… library… dude.”
“Oh. Ok.”

Random. Really random.

Good guest, good information. Thanks!

QOTD: I’ve always presumed that I wouldn’t be likely to retire from nursing until I can’t walk anymore, or no-one will hire me, whichever comes first. This is partly for financial reasons and partly because it’s a big part of who I am and what I do. Besides, I’ve always worked my other passions into and around my ‘working’ life, so retire from what, really?

I just celebrated my 67th birthday.
After 31 years in banking, I quit, and started a painting business about 14 years ago. I’m still going strong. Love to work, but find it more important to enjoy my sons and grand-children.
Also love the malbec wines.
Had the opportunity to visit B.A. two years ago, and instantly took to it. The people are friendly, (yes…..even to Americans), the food was quite good, and the wines, outstanding. About half of our wine consumption is Malbec and Torrontes. Give the price point, it should be everybody’s.
Nice show Gary, and cheers to Tim.

QOTD: My answer is the obvious . . . and sad one . . . I would look up from my desk, take stock in the good around me, and enjoy each day for what it is, a gift.

Great episode, great guest. Love the grass fed and Malbec. Wish I could duplicate the slow fire, long cook, process at home. Oh well, another excuse to visit Argentina.

GV – as a Browns fan, I went through the same emotions as you but in reverse. First, elation. Thinking as you did the Browns got over on your Jets big time. Then, they announced what the Jets gave . . . ridiculous . . . either Mangini believes something about these players now that he didn’t while in NY or he flat out got Jedi mind tricked. Painful. Peace.
