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

  • Boy, a guy who’s been around from the start makes a simple request for a tawny episode and gets a lone stinkin Muscat? Not even the same grapes…. Color me bummed… I could have told you the Chambers sucked. I’ve had it.

    And who’s ‘getting fooled’ by tawnies? Is someone expecting something dry when they open one? The good ones (like Yalumba) are not cloying and very complex.

    Nalle out.

    I missed extending birthday wishes to your Dad, so consider this a dual extension of best wishes to both of you. Being a father and grandfather, it’s hearwarming to see the obvious love and respect you and your Dad have for one another.

    Great show!

    Happy Birthday! Fun to see your pop and good to see you easily passed the 1,000 mark!

    Wooohooo. Top 1500!!!!!!!!
    How cool is that?
    I was sitting i the back waiting to see if the posts would top off at 999.
    Gary – do you read all these comments?

    Nice to see Sasha – he likes the wine. No spit bucket for him.
    I especially liked the dad telling his son – you pronounce your family name incorrectly.
    It is Vi – not Vay – ner – chuck.
    How cool is that?

    My dad told me: it is “moo” derne – Not “ma” derne.

    Happy Birthday.
    Only 32? I got wines older than you.

    Sorry a little belated, but from your Twitter comments I know you had a wicked time. That episode was amazing, and I really appreciated the banter between you and your dad. It gives us a whole different and valuable perspective when we see you interact with your mentor and hero. Its an priceless gift.

    QOTD: Hell yeah Sasha rocks! He brings that old school charm you know… it can’t be imitated!

    Happy belated birthday Gary!

    BTW, there are some really nice frizzante red italian dessert wines you ought to try with chocolate cake. Of course, you probably already know what I’m talking about.

    Oh, and the wine festival here in Zurich was still going on your birthday. You need to try some of our Swiss Pinot Noirs. 🙂

    Your Dad rocks.

  • Gary– A belated Happy Birthday! Great show, great idea to have your Dad on with you. He is adorable. I’m afraid your Dad is the better-looking– he’s got that stately Eastern European-ism about him, whereas you are more of a mutt. Good fun, and all the best on your birthday. Cheers, many more to come…
