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

    Happy 32 Gary!
    Don’t worry about numbers, it’s only a statistic, and a matter of opinion, just like the ratings.
    Great Episode. You came to 3West on your Dad’s B-Day, I remember because I delivered his dessert to the table – Anyway, Dad is better looking. Sorry Gary!

    I miss seeing your family visit 3West, I’ve moved to Ciao (right next door). Come visit. We have some really great Italian Wines, but, can always get your Dad Caymus – your right, it is what he usually drinks.

    Hope you had a good dinner last night.

    Happy belated B-day Gary. A bit behind on episodes while I plan for my trip to Uruguay next week. I’ll catch up on the plane with my iPod Touch 🙂

    My brother’s building a bar there and I need to scout some local wines for him!

    Enjoy.

  • Great show GV and Happy Birthday. Since I am closer to your Dad’s age I have to go with your Dad.
    I never drink sweet wines with dessert, they just don’t blend well.

    Happy Birthday!!!

  • organicguy

    Happy B’day Gary and do not be sad about it being the 32nd. Every following year becomes that much more special. The obvious special bond that you and your dad share was especially heartwarming as I miss my dad “big time”. QOTD–Sasha—and a big “nazdrowie” to his continued good health…..

  • Gary, Happy 32 birthday~~ Sasha and Gary rule~ You two are a nice pairing. I do envy you.

    All the best to your family, and especially to Gary on his 32 birthday. ^_^

    happy B-day (one day late), 32 is nothing I blew by that one a long time ago but it is all relative to how “old” you feel. Keep doing what you love (WLTV!) and you will never feel old.

    Sasha was da’ bomb! I would love to tip a few with him some day and hear some story time..

  • warhwk69

    i think a better test would be to sell 1000 shirts…1000 comments was childs play.

  • Hi Gary,

    This is Carla, Matthew L’s wife, stopping by to say happy (now belated) birthday! I tell everyone in the New York area to come to your store because you and your dad were so gracious to Matthew, my friend and me when we were there.

    I hope you had a great day. You’re cute, but your dad gets the nod today.
