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

    Hey Gary,

    I hope you are having a wonderful birthday. I am one of those lurkers as you have classified. I really have come to enjoy your wine show, as a freind of mine turned me on to Wine Library TV two months ago. My family is slowly getting into the wine making business, and currently have over 72 acres of grapes (24 varieties planted) in Southern Oregon. I know most of the big wines from Oregon come from the Willamette Valley, but the Rogue and Applegate Valleys are slowly making it to the market. Maybe some day one of our wines will make it on your show, I can only wish.

    Enjoy your Birthday,
    Ryan

  • Congratulations on turning 32 Gary! Best wishes from down the turnpike. Have a healthy Thanksgiving Holiday. QOTD: Sasha wins. Sorry GV.

  • AngioRanger

    Happy B-day!. Great episode (kept it real, family, enough said!)

  • GottaGoDrink

    Gary- Just wanted to say, without Sasha you are zippo, nada, nuttin’. What a great dad you have!

  • Gary I’m doing it, I’m coming out of lurkdom just so you don’t retire!

    Happy birthday! Your doing great things and I’m looking forward to sharing you with my family for a little sniffy-sniff, and whirl with the thanksgiving mystery box.

    While I’m here I’ll put in a request for a review. I loved the 01′ Eisrebe (100% Scheurebe) from Joseph Phelps but with the 06′ at $50 a half bottle it would be nice to know it still stacks up before dropping the cash.

    Please help me out!

    Happy Birthday Gary! I’m ordering wines off of winelibrary, for the first time! Thank you so much for teaching me to love wine. Please don’t leave the show!

  • Guest

    I won’t comment on who is better looking as you both have faces only a mother could love. Yo Gary…. We need your help Illinois to repeal House Bill 429 which won’t allow us to buy wine from you or Sasha. The folks at Sam’s Wine (and all their friends in the legislature) want to make sure we are forced to pay their egregious prices.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Gary. Great episode…Made me miss my Dad. With regards to B-Days and family, my quote of the the day is…Enjoy both while you still have them. ENJOY and many more, besides I still have a lot to learn about wine.
