Happy fathers day to both of you! Sasha is the coolest! I would watch a show of his–but he needs to learn to be tough on bad wines. GARY–please bring him on the show monthly!

Sasha on The Show!

I say you should include more food in future shows, it’s fun to imagine and see all the yummy stuff you get to try with the wines.

QOTD1: Sasha should definitely start his own show.

QOTD2: For sure, Sasha’s cellar sounds amazing.

I like how you both get along. Great.

Having watched every single episode of this show I find one thing missing:

Where the heck has “Sir” Gary Vaynerchuk been in the last buhzallion episodes???

I DEMAND an appearance.

This was my favorite show of all time! What a great father-son relationship! Great give and take, but completely obvious love underlying it all. I loved your father’s inclination to not technically evaluate the wine, but to simply say, “I really like this wine….just because it gives me pleasure. I want you to taste it because I think it will give you pleasure.” This is my impression of most of the wine reviewers prior to Parker. “Why it is good” is not nearly as important as “is it good.”

I look forward to seeing your father do his own show from time to time, and if you behave yourself, you may end up as a guest on his show.

Much love to you both on Fathers Day.

Brilliant show! Loved it. Reminded me of my dad and me hanging out. September in his cellar? Absolutely.

QOTD: 25-40 years of Wine Library TV would make me a very happy man.
I love Sasha, your dad is phenomenal. Yes he should start his own show, even once a week would be brilliant.

My dad left when I was 3, I want your dad to adopt me ^_^

I found the 2004 Clark Claudon Cabernet Sauvignon 750ML at http://www.wallywine.com/p-32044-2004-clark-claudon-cabernet-sauvignon-750ml.aspx?affiliateid=10098 but not for $50 you (Gary) mentioned, but rather $75, ouch.

Happy fathers’ day to all fathers!

Great fathers’ day special!

A good reminder why WLTV is one of the best tv shows online. There is so much love between you two that it makes me wanna cry…and laugh.

QOTD: I’d love Sasha to have his own show, or a segment on WLTV (that way he wouldn’t have to commit…) I’d also love to see a show from his cellar!

LOVE!

I’m with your dad on this one Gary, people should not be afraid to have discussions about ANYTHING! How else will we find common ground and learn to empathize if everyone is too afraid to talk to each other about what matters most to them?

Happy Dads Day to both of you.

So love Sasha’s face when G *wastes* the wine and is preference to swallow. A big F-You to the wine snobs out there.

G, how about having your Dad do a QPR episode every now and then. He obviously loves a good deal and certaily has a trained enough palate. Just a thought.

Again, congrats to both of your on your first Pops today together as a new Dad/Grandfather.

WOW, tremendous episode…. Sasha makes everything a little better.

He makes me love my own father so much more!

QOTD: Would love to see the cellar, and the special Sasha/Misha combo episode of WLTV!

Happy father’s day Sasha and Gary now!!!
Love Sasha on the show, he’s so much fun.

I need a cheese collection package from Wine Library do you guys mail order a collection of cheeses we can mix and match and try with wines? That would be fun!

Happy Father’s Day to both of you!!! Great to see Sasha on the show! Really appreciate the dynamic and insight between the two of you.
This got me thinking, it would be really cool to hear about Sasha’s first experiences with wine, if he remembers some of the first wines he ever tried? first impressions?
Great show guys!

Does Sasha ever stop eating?

Men,

SPACIBO!!! And a very Happy Father’s day to both of you!

Alianca has been in our (Ohio) market for many years, carried by the ditributor for whom I’d worked through the mid 1990’s. Palmela is very nice, and easy, with plummy, Earthy flavors that I love with Sardines, and a piece of cheese. They have a broad spectrum of every day wines from the Dao, Bairrada, and other regons. Casal Mendes Vinho Verde is fresh and spritzy melon, and the proprietarily named Alabastro is downright great – at around twelve ‘bones’!

QotD – Absolutely!! Thanks, again, best wishes to you both.

QOTD: Absolutely! That means we get to see more of Sasha, right? I really enjoyed this episode. Thanks for the laughs and the reminder to be thankful for my dad and my great uncle (who’s like a grandpa to me). Happy Father’s Day to both of you!

Great show! Happy Father’s Day to you both and especially to Gary on your 1st!!! In 20 years you should pop another M.H.B. 2004 with Misha and compare notes. QOTD Most def.

WOW – amazing show, with a high level of improv humor – great!!

QOTD: YES!

I would also love see a show where You, Gary, show the vayniacs what you are keeping for your future self – What, why and how are you collecting?

P.S. – I hope with all my being that you will commit
