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,

    We need Sasha back at least once each week. His stories about the good old days of wine and his long-term taste of wine could benefit us all.

    Happy belated birthday Gary,
    I was internet challenged yesterday so sorry about the tardiness but the wish is still well.
    That cake was making me hungry.
    The way your dad tastes the wine is in some ways more my style; ie, no spitting or dumping!

  • Mr. Ambassador

    Happy Birthday GV!

    Though you’re already over 1,000 comments I had to add my two-cents as well.

    It was a real pleasure to see both you and your father hosting the show together.

    QOTD – That’s a tough one. Your father gets extra points for the accent, but (much like who’s the best James Bond or Star Trek captain) you were the “original” WLTV host for me so my vote’s gonna swing your way.

    Thanks for the email Gary! Work schedule has changed, life has gotten hectic and so my husband and I haven’t been able to watch for the past month. In fact I-tunes has been asking if we want to keep downloading your podcasts seeing as we haven’t been watching them. YES! We’ll just have to have a WLTV marathon some day. Anyway, made sure to watch this episode now because of your email

    It was great, per usual and your dad is awesome.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY GARY! (albeit slightly belated) Although I don’t understand why you are upset about turning 32 – doesn’t make any sense to me – oh well.

  • Dear Gary, no matter how many comments will be there finally, I think most of us like you as much as I do. Not because of the show but your everlasting efforts.

    What a big topic you have selected, changing the wine world.
    I’m keeping a wine blog myself, and I can understand how difficult it can be to keep a live show here 5 times a week. You might be not really in the mood everyday. Sometime too good to do the show while sometime on the opposite. After all, you made it.
    Now we can say, you have been making this great effort(the word you like), for years.

    It is your 32 birthday, congratulations.
    Thru thick and thin, we are still here making our tiny efforts and enjoying the pleasure of diving into the wine world, the magic God has sent to us with his message.

    Happy Birthday, to our sweet, cheering and serious Gary. Happy, happy, and happy.

    Yours.
