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

    Gary, loved the show. Happy Birthday to you! I love the work you do, especially the bubbly part of tonight. Sparkling wine is one of my favorite food groups. I always have an assortment on hand, to pour, mix or just enjoy. I really love the crements as well as the proseccos. sparkling is, hands down, one of the best appetizer pairings ever. If you ever find yourself in the Seattle area, stop by for a glass of bubbly. and……………..fyi, the ’05 washington harvest is dy-no-mite! yes, i am trying to plant a seed.

    Wish you a happy, healthy year. Candace and Dan

    QOTD-
    I would have to say that Sasha (like a great wine) has aged to perfection. He get’s my vote. Gary on the other hand is full of fruit and splashes around a bit. Sasha enjoys his wine like most of us, by digging right in. No Snify snif for Sasha. Uncork and consume. Pretty simple and effective.

    After “meeting” his father I would never have paired Gary with Sahsa as family. Maybe next door neighbors who have a passion for good wine and chocolate, but not family. I guess that’s what make’s it work. You two get along like great friends more than father and son. And THAT is what it’s all about.

    Happy Birthday Gary! Here’s a scary little tidbit. MORE birthdays are in store for you…

    Keep up the great “work”!

    New viewer, and I’m REALLY enjoying learning about wine!

    I’ve convinced my friends to get into a wine tasting, and I’m completely going to have them eat dirt and tobacco. 😀

    Hey Gary…Happy Birthday. Just want you to know that my son Elliot (the pimp meister at Bonny Doon), has turned me on to your program which I find both informative and entertaining. He especially wanted me to watch this episode (I think because he loves me like you love your Dad and that we both share a passion for wine.) Incidently, I work weekends in the tasting room at Rutherford Grove Winery in Napa Valley and think that you would find our Petite Sirah ’05 and ’04 Howell Mountain res. cab to be to your liking. Anyways, I want to give a shout out not only to you, but my son Elliot Karpman who is becoming quite the wine expert.

    Cheers and Happy Birthday….
