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 birthday Gary!

  • Sonnenuhr

    Gary – Happy B-Day!!! Great show, the SVGV combo rocks!

    QOTD – Sasha, hands down!

  • Withnail

    QOTD: Hmmm, I don’t usually rate or consider men’s looks, but I will say you are both handsome with a slight edge to Sasha.

    Sasha knows what he’s doing – no spitting out the wine and pounding down the chocolate, seems you still have something to learn from him Gary! Anyway, happy birthday, another great show and you BETTER be back, 1000 or not!

  • Happy Birthday Gary! No way will you make it to 1000 comments. You have underestimated the strong lurking urges that cause people to remain lurkers. I know I need 2, 3, sometimes 4 cups of coffee to pull me out of my lurkitude.

    QOTD? Umm… gotta call it a draw. Only because I’m a Heterosexual Male, so by definition all other guys look pretty much alike to me. 🙂

  • swyty

    Happy B’day Gary!!!! Blow it out baby!!!

  • GrapeStuff

    I WANT THAT BUILDING!

  • abbas

    happy birthday!

  • QOTD: Ok, Gary, I have to say your dad wins! Sorry brother, but he seems like an passionate renaissance man. You do too, don’t get me wrong, but he’s more polished than you. 😉

  • cgf

    HAPPY Birthday GV! you will have no problem reaching 1000. Sasha rules. Did anyone else catch him say “This is some good sh*t” describing the muscat? It was hilarious, and I think Gary either missed it or ignored it.

    QOTD: Sasha for sure.

  • Katie D.

    Happy birthday from way out West.

  • waibeans

    what happened to the vayniac contest announcement?! Havin Sascha on was a great idea. He stole the show, no doubt about it. I guess that’s an answer to the QOD, cause I’m not goin anywhere near answering that one 😉

    Happy B-Day GV, now answer some more emails!

  • Luke B

    QOTD: I’m going to have to say Gary. sorry Sasha.

    Happy Birthday Gary.

    You wouldn’t quit, how dare you even suggest such a thing. You love WLTV too much.
    I think it would be funny if somehow the Vayniaks grouped together and made it so there was only 999 comments.

    You know some people will not comment just to wind you up.
    But then you know you have such die hard fans that they’ll drive over to their friends houses just to add more comments.

    Gary, you are a legend.
    And your dad seems pretty awesome too.
    I think Sasha should make guest appearances more often.

    Will it go up to 2000 comments next year?

    QOTD: Sasha. of course!!! You guys rock GV and SV!!! Happy Birthday and many more.

    GV

    Happy Birthday you Birthday attention beggar you. Your Dad should be proud and you are lucky to have him.
    I will see you in San Francisco next month. I love the fact that (a little bit of you/ with a lot of us) we are changing the wine world.
    I just moved to the Sonoma County California from Long Island. I am about to receive a shipment – but the shipping charges are high. Any thoughts on how to keep me as a regular customer vis a vis the shipping costs.

    Regards,
    Graz

    Sorry GV, but Sasha hit the high notes with his facial expressions and his looks of admonishment towards you at times….he’s definitely the winner! True to form: The Birthday show rocked! However, you’re a bigger tease than Mary Jane McKetchnie, my Jr. Prom date…..where was the big announcement!!?!??!? Don’t be duckin’ me, GV.
