    I’m sorry for your family’s loss. You just can’t replace a good friend.

    Speaking of “ma”, your show has had some wonderful guests, but the feminine gender has been C by its’ A (conspicuous by its’ absence). I look forward to seeing that change.

    I look forward to trying Torrontes. We got ahold of a Growers’ Champagne here, A. Margaine, so anything is possible.

    I’ve been away from WLTV for a few months, just been getting settled in my new location (moved from Wyoming) and I forgot how much energy your show gives me.

    Taste life! Enjoy Life! Live!! What’s the point of being around if you can’t find something to be passionate about . . . every day!!

    Thanks for everything Gary.

    Gary, have you tried the Gimenez Riili Torrontes? Please try it! It almost singlehandedly (or, singlebottledly) caused this red-wine-fanatic to give white wines another chance. You should carry it.
