It’s too bad I was only recently introduced to this show. I love the energy, and of course the wine.

It would have been great to watch while it was still going on.

Gary’s passion originally inspired me to start my own website nononsensefitnesstips.com

    I’m one of those dirty little lurkers you often mention and today I decided to step out of the shadows to wish you a Happy Birthday.

    Your enthusiasm for wine is infectious and after watching you interact with your father, I can see where it comes from. Both he and you seem to have passions for orchids and wines, both of which I share. Keep up the good work.

    My question to you is what special wine do you have in mind to drink, not just taste, to celebrate your birthday?

    Cheers.

    Forgot to mention this was a great episode; you should have him back on for Father’s Day (if not before).

  • HAPPY BIRTHDAY GARY! Have a great day. Thanks for all your hard work. Come back to L.A. when you want to escape the eventual snow.

    QOTD: gotta give it to Gary on his bday. sorry Sasha

  • Stevo

    Happy B-day Gary, your father is a blast. I like his style of tasting wine. No spit bucket!

  • Kara B

    Great, great show! The best one yet. Happy Birth Day – don’t be too sad you’re 32!!!!

    QOTD – Your dad has one up on you in the looks department. You need to have him on more often.

    Happy birthday Gary!

    QOTD: If you had that Jets jersey on it’d be you all the way.

  • Helena

    Happy Birthday, Gary!
    Thank you for an entertaining video!
    This greeting comes all the way from Europe – this is my first ever visit to this web-site! The reason I found the address of the website is that I saw you tonight on Late night with Conan O’Brien (I think they were showing a re-run) and Gary, you and Conan tasting the wines were hilarious!
    I liked your video about the chocolate cake and the wines but I must say, I have not yet found a red wine which would go well together with chocolate. Of course, rosé sparkling goes, and certain sweet dessert wines (I prefer tawny port or Banyuls) go well with chocolate but not red wine. Don’t you think that the wine loses something from the chocolate bitters? In my view, the wine needs to be sweeter than the chocolate.
    Very interesting site, and I hope to stay tuned. This is what the world of wine needs, serious matter AND FUN!
    Cheers!
    ps. QOTD sorry Gary, the answer would be Sasha…

    Happy Birthday Gary! It was really great to see you joined by your Dad today. He seemed a bit unsure of it at first but seemed to get into the swing of it by the end. Really shocked you chose such an inexpensive cab to pop open (good to see it’s tastey AND cheap lol) but that’s what makes you who you are 🙂 I’m turning 32 in 10days… don’t hate on the age so much man! It’s only as old as you feel 😛

    QOTD: Shasha was great! 😉

    C’MON 1000!!!!!
