Congratulations!

GARY V,

QOTD (back at you): If you had to guess, what 2009 birthyear wine are you going to buy Misha?

Dear Gary, dear Misha,

QOTD: My son, Rohan, whom you met once at WL.

Misha is as cute as expected and thanks to this modern technology we can all watch her from every corner of the world.

Congratulations, Gary! Next week she’ll be twenty-three, so SLOW DOWN and ENJOY her babyhood! Sorry I missed you when I flew all the way to Jersey at the end of May. I’ll try not to miss you when you finally get to the Rogue Valley of Oregon. My sunshine: Two boys, Liam and Owen, eleven and seven, who were babies YESTERDAY!!! So, really, slow down and gaze at her A LOT! Say no to some gigs, lock the door and sing to her. Blessings on your family, -Kate

also long-time lurker (from Germany) … soooo sorry!

but I have to admit: that cute little misha will turn me into a frequent commenting geek/freak.

qotd: girl-friend and family, of course.

Gary. . . what a beautiful little girl! Congratulations. You thought you knew love before but not like the love of a child, as you probably already realize.

Enjoy the time with her, it does go fast.

QOTD: What else. . . my wife and 3 kids!

QOTD – Waking up and my mom is still alive,
………as she most likely have about 3 months max to live,
because of her pancreas cancer….

Longtime lurker out of the woodwork here! Congrats Gary to you and your family. I know how much family means to you and you must be excited to help shape your daughter much in the same way your parents did for you and AJ!

On the Italian tip: I have a few lovely 2001 Brunellos in my cellar (Franco Pacenti Canalicchio Riserva, Augostina Pieri and Cerbaia Riserva – which you lauded in Ep#65). I know these wines are built to last, but I am so tempted to crack one this summer. Do you think it would be too early or should I wait until the day I become a proud papa?

Was waiting for you to go back and re score the Rosa. You raved then gave
it 88 pts whereas the dissapointing Andrew Will got 87. One point
difference?

QOTD: Family – forever and always

Warmest congratulations. Wine may have been your number one passion…but not any more. If your interaction with your father is any indication, you’ll be a great dad. Just think, only 1095 weeks until she’s a (legally) sipping guest on your show. Enjoy every minute.

No Doubt, Chris Camarda’s Andrew Will Wines are killer, as is most wine made in or sourced from the Red Mountain AVA. I think of great wines from Cadence, Arbor Crest, Charles Smith, Quilceda, and on and on. Not really a fan of the Col Solare, though.

GV, and Liz – Congratulations! She’s a beauty!

QotD – Sunshine is my Mom and Dad, my GF, my Daughter, and her year old daughter!

My sunshine-My youngest daughter, just graduated valedictorian of her high school and off to Franklin and Marshall College for premed and vocal performance minor.

Congrats Gary!
She is beautiful, and remember, this is the easiest time, right now. Eats, sleeps, cries and poops!

QOTD: My 6,5 and 45 year old females in my house!

Gary,
I have to admit it’s been a while since I’ve watched but I had to tune in or this one.
Congratulations!

QOTD: My girlfriend Lyndsay

Big congratulations on the super-cutie, Gary & Liz.

QOTD: My two grand=daughters, Sofia and Carmen (5 and 3). Sofia was bald for about 6 months, and Carmen had almost as much dark hair as Misha. Sofia’s must have been sprung up in her scalp somehow, b/c when it emerged, it is so curly and tends to massive ringlets. Two very welcome rays of sunshine, most appreciated on the Wet Coast!

Gary, I am so happy for you, and your little one is adorable! My sunshine is my son Max (you met last year who watched your live show at WL) and of course my wife!

I’ve never seen so many BEAUTIFUL distractions in your video before! He is absolutely beautiful. “Sniffy sniff!” CUTE!!! God bless you & your new addition to your family! My sunshine in my world is God, my wife and my family…nothing else is more important. (Maybe a good Malbec!)

Enjoy it all!

Cheers!

What a beautie. You are blessed.

My sunshine is first and foremost, my husband, Chas. I’ve been blessed with a love unequalled. Then, my children. . .all grown. They still give me blessings (of a new kind).
