I loved it. The interaction between you two is so priceless. It makes me glad and makes me think of the precious relationships I have with my own family members. A “Happy 1st Fathers’ Day!”, Gary, and a “Happy 1st GRANDfathers’ Day!” to Sasha.

I agree with DAve A; make it a regular commentary/analysis of Gary’s shows and ratings. Keep doing the show together, it’s great. I can understand if Gary has to cut back, but I’m glad it’s not going away. (I’d want to cuddle that baby some more too!) I am grateful for these free shows. They’ve taught me so much about wine. Gary’s worked hard for the praise he’s earning now, and he deserves all of it. The same obviously goes for Sasha as well. They are both good examples of what hard work and passion can do for you.

Hi Sasha, hi Gary!

AWESOME show! Every time Sasha is on, the show is fantastic.

Definitely Sasha could commit to doing a weekly show: “Wednesdays with Dad”, “Fridays Couch w/ Dad” or “Sasha’s Wines of the Week”. The Vaynernation will love! Sasha, you could bring to the show the wine or wines you’ve been drinking and drop some of your knowledge to us on life and wines. At the same time giving Gary a day off.

I agree with Sasha on that Amarone, even not having that one yet.
Amarone wines have always been spectacular wines to me.
Always bringing the Thunder!

QOTD: Taping a show on your cellar would be fantastic Sasha. Can’t wait!

Happy Fathers Day!! (Happy Grandfathers Day to Sasha!)
Kiss on Misha.
Best wishes,

Mauricio Fernandes.

QOTD: I would love to see an episode at Sasha’s cellar with Gary, and maybe AJ there as well. A whole family event.

Fathers are important

I miss my Dad, he passed away in 2001 after a long struggle with cancer.

QOTD:
Sash if you want to do your own show every couple of weeks or whenever you want to go for it… there are no rules! Plus Gary seems to be trending towards the more expensive wines lately… and your question of the day could be about any subject you wanted, even if it was politics HA HA HA

GV- Your father is a sweet man and very genuine… good on you for appreciating him, it shows.

I really enjoyed this show, it was a little longer, you had some seemigly mouth-watering cheeses and meats, and you both cursed. Actually, you cursed first and then called your dad out for it. Well played.

QOTD: I think you (Sasha) should guest host Gary’s show regularly.

Hi again Gary and Sasha; yes, the show has made people go out and try different kinds of wine (myself included) and yes – again – you HAVE to do a show in Sasha’s cellar! that would be the best! I’m also so glad you said you would try to continue the show for so long, if it’s still going in 30 years time, I’ll be watching.

Great to see Grandpa Sasha on the show again, and loved the fact that he came through with the name of the Alianca that he mentioned enjoying the last time he was on. That is some serious dedication.
Sasha please go fishing with your son and have a great time. Maybe you can do a show for Gary now and again, to babysit the Vaynernation while Gary gets to spend some time with Lizzie and Misha? That way you do not have to commit to a show of your own, but you get to shake things up., and feel the love of the fans.
Took my dad to the annual Stowe Wine and Food Classic at the Trapp Family Lodge up in Stowe, VT…his first time at something like that. We tasted a bunch of great stuff, most of it way out of his price/comfort range…he was blown over by the Emilio Moro “Malleolus de Valderramiro” 2005 Ribera del Duero at $200 but will get a lot of mileage out of telling the story.

Those food plates always look so effing good.

QOTD. Absolutely positively YES! That’d be fun!

That got a bit awkward at times. Reminded me of some “blame” conversations with the Ukrainian in-laws. It must be the way get communicated over in the East. If you’re not used to it it can be quite uncomfortable.

Good think that you really love each other and will not even consider these as issues.

Great show Sasha. I liked your guest, GV, he was interesting. You should consider having him come on as a regular guest, maybe once a month or so to talk politics. Peace.

Sasha,

It was a pleasure to have met you when we did the non pizza “pizza” episode. You were a tough act to follow as my show aired shortly after your last appearance.

I think it would be a great show to do some heavy hitter Amarones with your dad on as the expert judge.

I think this was my favorite episode of all time. Great chemistry between you two. Should be a monthly show! Sasha, get out of the store and go fishing. It will run itself for one weekend. Don’t worry about somebody stealing a bag of peanuts from the register.

great episode. good wine and a wonderful relationship between you and your dad. wanted to know the full report on la mission haut brion. do you wish you had kept it a bit longer before opening? Do you have any older vintages that would be suitable for drinking now and might also be found at sub-05 prices?
QOTD – of course!

Unbelieveable Show!!! Out of all the web shows…WineLibrary Tv I can not live without. And its the only one that I starred and bookmarked as my favourite to check on a daily basis. I prefer to watch it online than through download on iTunes (personal pref).

The entire episode I had a smile on my face on just how open it was and the raw editing when your dad left…really…it was like sitting with you guys at the table and just enjoying a great conversation.

Thank you Sasha and Gary!

QOTD: DEFINITELY YES!!!!!

Gary, Congrats on your first Fathers Day episode. Great to see a such a great father/son duo. I do not know my father so its great to see that connection. By far one of the best episodes. Thanks

QOTD Absolutely! Why wait til Sept?!

Your dad outshines you. How nice. Happy Father’s day to all. My 5 kids and 6 grandkids gave me a BBQ and I bought the zin!

QOTD: Gary’s Dad – we can call it “winelibraryDAD”. Once a week, review a couple wines and Gary’s week of shows. I like food with each time he is on. It makes it more approachable.

Skip the fishin’ trip. Buy him a fish dinner.
