QOTD: my beautiful wife Jay and my daughters Gia and Sophia. I’m one lucky SOB. Gary–thanks for taking time out of the new baby chaos (I remember it fondly) to give us some WLTV. All the best.

First things first: Misha is adorable, and she’s going to have you wrapped around her little finger by the time she’s ten.

My dad’s from Kelseyville and I have family there, so having a Kelseyville wine win the tasting made me grin. (Okay, it’s not a competition, but still…) I’d be interested in your take on Steele wines from Lake County.

QOTD: family, what else?

thanks for sharing your sunshine GV! i have no doubt that you will now bring the thunder as a father…hopefully you will still have time for WLTV because i, like the rest of the vayniacs, would hate to see it end…i look forward to checking out each day’s episode and that brings me a little sunshine…although i’d have to say that spending time with my family and friends is numero uno…

What a beautiful daughter and we all know you will be a great Father.

What makes my Life? Family! My Wife and two grown sons. It’s funny in a way. Whenever I look at my boys, I see them as they are today, but also as they were the day they were born. Take care Gary and enjoy!

Hey GV, thanks for coming back to us. And thanks for introducing Misha to all the thousands of us Vayniacs who creep into your life via WLTV, and Facebook, and Twitter, and all the other countless social media outlets that you seem to be a part of! I’ve told you before: my favorite episodes are the ones that incorporate your family.

QOTD: First of all, you trump anything I might answer due to the fact that Misha is now in your life, so way to go you one-upper. I’m trying to find my true sunshine right now. I’ll let you know when I get there.

Keep it real.

Congrats, Gary & family! I have two friends who will have daughters within the week as well — both had due dates of 6/3 but alas, no little girls yet…

Amador County out here in CA makes some pretty tasty wines from Italian varietals. I especially like Cooper’s Barbera & Sangio.

My sunshine is hanging out with friends and traveling. I’m off to South America for 6 months in just a week!!

Amazing, beautiful girl. Congrats to you and welcome back. I’m looking forward to more insights from you about being a dad and internet/business rockstar.

QTD: My wife and two girls who support me and all of my silly/not-so-silly projects.

Anna
She is precious! Can’t tell you a thing about the wines you had on simply because I was loving listening to her little whimpers. What an attentive dad you are! My sunshine is my 12 year-old Gracie and 9 year-old Tommy – I can remember when they both were that little. Enjoy this time with Misha. It flies by so quickly!

This episode of WLTV totally cracked me up. I just knew Misha’s soother was falling out everytime she fussed. Congrats again to you both. The world as you knew it no longer exists as I’m sure you happily agree.

Blessings,

Wendy
