GV…What a tremendous Father’s Day episode! I havent seen your dad in forever (aside from on the show, of course), but he hasn’t aged A DAY! Happy FIRST Father’s Day to you and of course to Sasha…the new Grandpa! As for the wines, I have had the pleasure of trying the Salvestrin recently…I beleieve it was an ‘03 vintage. Perhaps a bit more balanced than the ‘04 that you tasted…If you can get your hands on the ‘03 please do so, and let me know what you think. After your rave review, I will be sure that the Clark-Claudon makes its way onto my “to-do list”, as I’m not too familiar with their wines at all. Hoping everything is well with little Misha and many blessings to you on a GREAT father’s day, my friend!

That was classic when you handed the spit bucket over to you father and he said “Not a chance..” Great episode. Great Chemistry between the two of you. Happy Fathers Day…

Question of the day – I would love to see your cellar. Also You (Sasha) should tape a show at least once a month.

Great episode. Very fun to watch the interaction between you and your Dad. You are both characters, and obviously can have some great times together. You need to go fishing or something, right Sasha?

QOTD: Absolutely we should have a show from Sasha’s cellar with Mott. Gary is optional.

Hey Gary, Happy Father’s Day for Miss Misha! Sasha Rocks! I always love when he’s on! I love to see grown men (and women) say they love their parents…or anyone!

Great show! Hope Lizzie’s doing well!

That was so much fun! Thanks to you and Sasha for a great time. Happy Father’s day! Oh and I’m coming out to say I’m all fruity and cheap, well, frugal just like Sasha. I’ll probably be drinking a white zin tonight. LOL. Don’t hate Gary, I’m trying to grow up.

Gary still love the interplay between you and your dad. Sasha I appreciate that you refuse to waste any of the wine that’s been poured when it’s that good.

Great hawk story, haven’t laughed so hard in a while.

QOTD: More of Sasha would be a good thing with as entertaining as you are, go fishing with Gary.
QOTD2: Yes would be interesting to see.

Happy Fathers Day!

That was fun. I would like to see that chicken/pigeon coop. And yes, I would fully support a Sasha wine show.

QOTD – Heck yeah, let’s see the cellar, and some Amernoe selections!

Can’t wait for the 2030 Father’s Day show starring Misha, Gary and Sasha! Sure made me miss my boys, three of them serving our nation in the military.

QOTD: HELL YES!

Hey Gary,

Since I just turned 21 a few days ago (June 16th) I finally thought I’d comment, instead of lurking like I have been for probably 300+ episodes. I wanted to give a shout out to my dad, being that it’s Father’s Day, who died earlier this year (February) and hope that your viewers and everyone takes advantage to get to know their dad and spend as much time with them as they can. Share the love.

QOTD: I think it needs to stay as the Duo, or the show’d get off track, not that that’s such a bad thing lol

P.S. Any chance of doing a sweet/low alcohol wine show, that may come in half bottles, that won’t break a CKC’s bank? Thanks and keep the shows coming.

HAWKS BEWARE!!!

What a joy. [Except,now I want to drop $100 on the Haut Brion. I love a good glass of dirt.] It occurred to me that all those wines were being enjoyed in the best of all possible circumstances — loving people, a good nosh, some great laughs, a sensitive palate, and an appreciation of the subtleties and hard work that went into making them. That’s gotta be wine heaven.

Dedushka Sasha, when you’re “too busy” is EXACTLY the time you need to go fishing!

Maybe you could give Bobby first and third Saturdays off? Just a thought.

QOTD: Yes, definitely!!! I’m working with a beloved, but tiny chiller in my living room, and don’t (yet) know any serious collectors. I’d love the chance to visit with you guys, and also to see a home cellar. (Some B roll of the farm would be fun, too. I’ll turn my Aerogardens toward the laptop so they can watch, too.)

Happy Papa Day guys. God love ya (and a shout out to the rest of the family that lives with you roller coasters!)

That was a true pleasure to watch. Having lost my dad when I was only five years old, I can only live through others who are fortunate to be with their dads later in life. Thank you for sharing, Sasha and Gary. Happy Fathers Day. Since my dad is watching WLTV from up above, I love you Andrew P. Sansone.

First of all Gary congratulations on your first Father’s Day. This is quite possibly the best episode of WLTV in a long time, had a little bit of everything – Sasha, cheese, education, good wines, big ass glass. I’m glad you aired this episode this week, because it makes me want to eat cheese and drink wine with my Dad so a Boston to Jersey trip (I grew up in South Brunswick, came to Boston for school, just graduated from BC, and moved up here for good) may be in order for Sunday partly because of this episode

here’s an idea, how about an amarone brown paper bag episode with Sasha, you each bring one and Ian picks two more

qotd – absolutely, try and get the hawk to make an appearance

Great show Vaynerboys! Gary, I’m pretty sure Sasha is the only dude on the planet who can keep one step ahead of you! Happy Father’s Day to you both!

QOTD1: More Sasha? Hell yeah! We’ll have a bunch of little old lady Vaniacs!

QOTD2: Mott, Sasha and GV on location?! No brainer, but why wait till September?

Sasha, thanks for showing us the bottle from Portugal (you obviously take care of your fans just as well as Gary does!) – Palmela is known for its wines from the castelao grape (the “Periquita” grape) which is supposed to be capable of making wines that can age to a Cab-like maturity.

Wow, 25-30 years for WLTV – And I thought I was being ambitious in predicting 21 years!

QOTD: Yes, sounds great!

Great Episode! I’ve never laughed so much, truly great. I wouldn’t want ones like this too much, because I really like when you “nerd it up;” however, it was really wonderful to have once in a while. Plus, it made me wanna call my dad.

To answer the question: “Yes,” do the show in his cellar in September, but only if he goes fishing with you for the weekend.
