I love her t-shirt

Great episode, good to see you back in the saddle.

You’ll have to get her on a gv show when she’s older

Is it wrong that I fast forwarded to the end so I could see you interact w/ Misha? What a special, special time for you. The love you have for her radiates through you!

QOTD: Undoubtedly my family and friends are my rock. However, I think that “sunshine” comes from an inner happiness and peace. Not everyone is so fortunate to have a family…makes me feel so blessed and appreciative for all that I do have. Linds

Gary, what a wonderful baby!
Misha has the “interrupting” gene in her DNA.

Hey Gary, glad to see you back and glad to see you at the live Diggnation taping. I was one of the two that were down on the first row with the green vaynernation wristband. I was beside your friend Owen. I was hoping to meet you but you left before we had a chance.

QOTD: My family and friends are my life

Love is the sunshine we all need more of! Gary the greatest thing you’ve ever done with this forum is to show people how to love your spouse & child, to be a true example of what a loving husband & father is. I wish they played these clips on Jimmy Fallon & Today Show so every man could see, not just the 500,000 fans.

I’m also inspired to break open some Barbera (one of my fave varietals). I will hit up WLTV when it’s time to order. (Gotta keep Misha in the freshest onesies. She looks like a little fashionista.)

Congrats man. That’s the real deal. Great looking kid. Solid head of hair.

QOTD: My new wife as of 9 days ago. Kids still scared the hell out of me.

If you want to try good WA sangio, skip Andrew Will and go for Yellow Hawk.

Congratulations, I showed the video to my wife. She and I both love your little angel. She is so cute.

My sunshine is my son, Matthew.

CONGRATULATIONS!
Your daughter is very beautiful. You’ll have to save some very special wines from the 2009 vintage for when she turns 21.

QOTD: My sunshine is all of my wonderful friends. They inspire me to be the best I can be.

Good episode, despite the interruptions. Congrats on the baby. I can tell you look tired. It’s been 3 months since I had my first, and he’s only getting up 2 or 3 times a night now…which is a huge improvement!

Suggestion for the show: One thing about wine that really bugs me is that no one ever seems to know how to pronounce anything. I’ve seen you stumble over plenty of names, and it makes me wonder how well you know them! So the suggestion would be (1) bring more clarity to the issue. If you’re not sure how to pronounce it, either find out before you do the show, or just let us know you’re not sure. And (2) maybe do an episode on how to pronounce wines from france or italy or wherever else.

Mazeltov, Gary and family. This is the good stuff, the best life has to offer. I remember looking down at my daughter as a newborn and I inhaled and shuddered out of nowhere. I couldn’t believe she was mine, how precious it all was. There is not a day that goes by that I am not thankful these wonderful creatures are in my life and I find new ways to have them take my breath away. Hold on tight to every little thing.
Kinda scary, your daughter is absolutely beautiful, a veritable “Mini You.”

Got to get you our new Italian red blend (Autumnus from Pacific Rim).

She’s adorable, Gary. Big Andrew Will fan; thought that Sangiovese would bring more thunder.
QOTD – My Sunshine (former fiancee) just broke up with me over the weekend. Making my own for now – back to the wine biz.
