    First Jen DIDN’t send me but I’d be sure to return whenever she’s back!!

    I’ll be looking for her on CONAN!
    q#1 Gary’s dad appears to be around 72 to me.

    q#2 Shadow Francis Ford Coppola – He’s got a lot going on and then there’s the wine who could ask for more!

    q#3 Going with the statistic that Missouri (also with a rich wine heritage) has picked the President based on their Primary winner for every election since they missed with STEVENSON — I’d have to say OBAMA as much as it hurts this card carrying LIBERTARIAN to say!

    Fantastic show, Gary! I loved all the guests, and anytime that you can have Sasha on the show, it is great. Pipes…you rock! Enjoy your wine travels.

    QOTD:
    1. I would guess your dad to be 56.
    2. I would love to shadow Gary V. I am very interested in the wine industry from a sales standpoint, and would love to shadow Gary and see what he does all day.
    3. WE’RE ALL DOOMED!!!! All the leaders in this country and we have to pick between these clowns???? Bring me a candidate that can represent ALL people in some way, not 50% of the population.

    1) ! do not believe that the coolest guy ever necessarily has an age. sasha is timeless. and hilarious.

    2) I would shadow a ground hog so i could control the weather.

    3) As much as i want ron paul……i would say the winner would have to be the person with the most votes which should be Ron Paul if America has a chance.

    this show got weird, and i liked it.

    QOTD 1: Old enough to be the toughest, most badass dude EVER.

    QOTD 2: Your dad. Maybe I could learn to be as awesome as he is.

    QOTD 3: I don’t know, but it should probably be your dad, he was one intense guy, haha.

    Great show!

  • OttawaB

    Holy crap #@^*(&^(* ……….. we pay $40 for the Osoyoos up here in Ontario.
    Many decent red wines coming out of BC now ……. out of Niagara area there are also goods ones (whites as well as some reds ….. Pinot Noir, Cab Franc, etc.) . I find many of the styles tend to the old world more then new world.

  • 1: 55.
    2: David Lynch. Or Sidney Crosby.
    3: Obama.

    QOTD1: 58
    QOTD2: Kimi Raikonnen (he’s an F1 driver) Why? I think I’d learn alot.

    QOTD3: nobody seems to say this, but the republicans have NO chance in the next election and we all know it, so my money is on Obama.

  • JoshL

    1. 60
    2. Jack Bauer, because he’s fictional and overqualified.
    3. Someone who’s underqualified (any of them would qualify for that description in my opinion).

    great show GV! loved the interaction between the three of you…there’s a very special ingredient that Mr. V (not you GV, your dad) adds to the show when he’s on…sort of adds an approachable gravity to the show that makes you feel like this show is serious and not all fun and games…but fun nonetheless…(did that make any sense?) the selection of wines and subsequent reviews didn’t really add much to my wine knowledge, but enjoyable show nonetheless.

    QOTDs

    1. 57
    2. Manny Acta, Washington Nationals Manager. They’re my team and they’re moving into a new stadium this year.
    3. Obama. Nebraska’s caucus is Saturday and two of the bars downtown are having Obama drink specials.

    Still laughing with enjoyment. Great show!

    QOTH: 72
    QOTH: I would shadow the Head Chief at the restaurant that I work at, Rillo’s (Carlisle, PA).
    QOTH: McCain (no one thought the Giants were going to pull it off)

  • Moselman

    WOW!! Can’t begin to imagine the shame if you’d stopped at 400, Gary. Great, great ep! What serendipitous casting! What fun! (Let the naysayers enjoy a straight Sir GV ep).

    QOTD: Sasha’s age: Math was not my strength in school…

    Shadow: Steve Jobs â?? so I could kick his butt every time he started to do something else detrimental to legacy Macintosh. Then I could go after Gates.

    Prez: As a Cdn, not qualified to guess, esp. this early. But it is the potential VPs that really scare me.

    Now for a bit more Canadian content re the Osoyoos Larose. First, correction on pronunciation of Osoyoos. Uh-soo-yuse. Believe it!

    Further to another comment, this from BC wine critic John Schreiner: Osoyoos Larose is the Okanagan wine industryâ??s ultimate technology transfer, the result of a joint venture set up a decade ago between Vincor Canada and Bordeauxâ??s Groupe Taillan. The French companyâ??s stable of distinguished properties include Château Gruaud Larose.

    P.S. Glad to see I’m not alone in thinking Conan resembles a corked wine.

    What a hilarious episode! The power of the internet to bring together wine and entertainment from people who do the other as a day job… 🙂

    QOTD 1: I think Sasha mentioned it on his other appearance. Around 53?
    QOTD 2: A politician, in general. If I shadowed someone I admire, I’d feel bad that I’m not in their shoes.
    QOTD 3: If Obama is the Democrat’s candidate, he will win. If Clinton is the candidate, McCain will win.

  • Classic episode. That was a lot of fun to watch…

    Excellent to see an Okanagan wine make it on the show.

    GARY—!!!

    This is the best episode I’ve seen! At first I thought… sweet, a hot guest (sidebar, is Pipes taken?…. seriously?) Then I thought, awesome… now GV’s pops is on the show. How can this episode get any better? Then the banter about politics… priceless. Nothing against you GV, I love you man, but having your Dad on along with lovely attractive guests more often will do nothing but bring more thunder. As a CKC from Missouri I love the wine from Oklahoma and Arkansas. Its too bad that the best Missouri has to offer is horrible concord wine.

    Q(s)otD: I’d say Sasha is older than he looks since clearly he looks great for his age. 62 is my guess.

    I’d like to shadow any CEO of a fortune 500 company. The more I get promoted at the places I work, the more I see that higher management does less “work” minute for minute but has a MUCH higher level of responsibility and stress.

    At the beginning, I supported Duncan Hunter, he dropped out so then was Thompson, then Giuliani, then Romney… now I guess the next conservative in line is Huckabee. Its too bad there isn’t a GV – SV ticket. Ultimately and unfortunately, Hilary will win after McCain gets the GOP nod and can’t rally the conservative base. I’ll need some good wine recommendations on election day.

    Thanks for making a great episode (and my night),
    Brady B.

  • Incredible episode! The show was a meritage of cameo appearances. Definitely an instant classic.

    QOTD:
    1. Guessing Sasha is 62. Why? Because I like the #. He’s cool as sh*t.
    2a. Gary V b/c who wouldn’t be able to say, “Welcome to Wine Library TV…I’m Gary VAAAAY-NER-CHUKKKK!” (Sadly, my palate isn’t very developed as his but I swear I tasted pleasant root beer and chocolate flavor in a Hope & Grace cabernet I had last night).
    2b. Vivian so she can help me develop my palate. At her age I was fond of gumming my family’s cheap naugahyde sofa. She’s eons beyond me when I was her age. Katherine: you should start a “what is Vivian teething on” twitter/blog.
    3. Not terribly enamored with the apparent choices. Maybe Hillary?

    Cheers on another outstanding episode!

    Fun episode for you guys — need to have those for your own sanity, GV.

    Sasha looks 58, probably is 68.

    Would love to follow Richand Branson around for a day — incredible personality.

    Think Hillary will manage to get by Barack, although either will probably embarass JM.

    #2- Bob “Rapid Robert” Feller, although retired (89 years old!!), this guys still serves as the Camp Commissioner at the Indians Fantasy Camp (and rumor has it that he still hurls a few balls every now and again!! Why is because short of my pop, he is my hero.

    #3- A blithering idiot who neither knows or cares about “Average” Americans. It’s too bad that naturalized citizens or even (gasp) legal residents cannot be considered, your pop would prob make a cool pres!
