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, as we fast approach Thanksgiving, it’s a great time to celebrate and be grateful for all the great little bits of you that you have brought to the wine world. Thank you for all you do, and for being the unique and memorable character you are. I hope your Birthday was truly wonderful, and don’t sweat the number – the same way you don’t sweat the wine scores. Best, CK

  • Happy birthday, Gary. If you keep at this birthday thing year after year, you will come to a point when you will no longer be able to claim you are young. You will have quite an episode archive by this time, of course.

    Happy Birthday and many more. Sasha and you go together like Cabernet and Chocolate. Very entertaining. I am guilty of restricting my intake of bubbly to New Years, Valentine’s, Anniversaries etc. It does pair well with food. Marilyn Monroe made Champagne and potato chips famous. The extra cost of pink champagne and the different ways you can produce the color are interesting wine lore. Krug Champagne had a top ten ranking in the Wine Spectator’s top 100 wines of 2007. Blanquette du Limoux predates Champagne by 100 years using Mauzac as the grape varietal. The modern version blends Chardonnay to make the Cremant. Prosecco has been featured on your show and doesn’t break the bank.

    It is easy to tell where you got your honesty from. The flowers added a nice frame to the family portrait. Does this mean my case of Cheval Blanc is not coming?

    QOD: We need to wait another 21 years for this vintage to age and the youthful tannins to soften gracefully. Very approachable now but has the legs to get there. Enjoy life! I don’t spit either…

  • Happy birthday Gary, and pleased to meet you Mr. Vaynerchuk. Great show today. Just wanted to say that I recently discovered your show (via Digg) and have already subscribed to the feed via iTunes and dropped you onto my blogroll. I was introduced to wine via my Japanese host family (the Kato family) when I studied abroad in Tokyo a few years back. Your show makes the whole scene a lot more accessible and less scary – like a Good Eats for the Wine World. Excellent work – keep it up.
