    Great to have you and Mott back!!!!!

    QOTD: I’ll be going to France for an internship at a winery, so I’m kinda counting that as my wine vacation.

    Gary should replace sniffy-sniff with Smell-boâ?¢. It’s a move that requires you to lift the elbow of the sniffing arm during sniffy time.

  • Fiorentina!

    MOTT!!! YOU LIED TO ME!!! ah I’m just kidding around…congrats on the HUGE upset!
    QotD – I think that my soon to be wife and I will be going to Portugal for our honeymoon…exciting stuff!
    Besides Duoro….any suggestions on where we should go or what cities we have to hit?

    WELCOME BACK, GARY!!! We all missed you. I’ve gotta try a nero one of these days…

    QotD: Get to honeymoon this year, in France. Hopefully I’ll be able to convince the fiancee to hit up a vineyard or two.

  • Joel M

    Welcome back, GV. Nice start too, with some different wines. I am definitely planning a WL trip in spring. Trying to save some bones. Maybe a trip to San Fran and Napa this fall.

    I think for all the Vayniacs when I say- Welcome Back Gary!!!!!! Man, I must be turning into some kind of freak to miss The Thunder Show this much…anyway…Happy to see the enthusiasm is there even after a bitter sweet vacation.

    QOTD-No wine vacation planned (not unless Walt Disney World has a wine festival I don’t know about yet)

    I think the reason that you’re so wildly successful is that I truly believe that you missed doing the show as much as we missed you not doing it. I am, as a heterosexual man, embarrassed at how much emptier last week was 🙂

    QOTD: I live near Napa/Sonoma so a couple of trips to those locales

  • Gary…Dude,

    First of all stop wiggin’ us out with Mott like that, hiliarious! Second I love Mott because he is a huge GIANTS fan. Third if you were a Giants fan I would stop lurking forever. That’s the only fault I can find with you, The JETS?? Come on! Wine, The Giants and Nero D’avola… what more could you possibly ask for. G-MEN ALL THE WAY!!!!!

  • KyleLikesTies

    Great to see you back … -and- Fine job with the intro, Mott!

    QoTD: I haven’t planned any holidays yet … I’d love to visit South Africa and stop in at some vineyards / wineries, but we’ll have to see if that’s realistic.

    QOTD: A weekend in Virginia around Charlottesville.

  • laposte

    QOTD:

    Oh my, that is a good question and one that embarrasses me since I do not have a wine vacation planned. But the offer to hang with you and later an opera at the met is tempting…

  • thepiratedoc

    Just when I thought I might never get my WLTV back … GV delivers! With a wine I’d never even heard of. Yeah, I’m a knob …

    QOTD: Taking a little trip across the pond to sample Scottish ‘wine’ and golf. Just a wee dram, laddie, a wee dram!! Maybe a claret or two in the British Isles.

    Could I really bring my family to WL for vacation? May have to work on that. You guys have Wii for the boys? It could happen …

  • The Fanjestic

    QoTd: None yet, but the year is young my friend. Realisticly, Napa or Sonoma is where we would go – coming from San Fran. But that might be wishful thinking!

  • Great show as usual GV.
    QOTD: Napa Valley -first time bringing my wife and my first return since 1994. I can’t wait!

    Nice to see you back Gary. You can’t retire Sniffy Sniff. My boys and I sit at the laptop every night to hear you say that. You would essentially end my wine time with the boys (age 10 and 3).

    QOTD: The wife and I are planning a trip up and down the coast of Michigan to visit the local vineyards.
