    GV – Excellent show and props to whoever provided that wine, very cool. Thanks for sharing. Where do you even get stuff like that?

    QOTD #1 – Wasn’t born yet, so my perspective is off, but the quality of life from what I hear and see seems different, slower and more enjoyable.

    QOTD #2 – Can’t make it tomorrow, but I hope to get out there next week on my own.

    I hope everyone who is going has a great time.

    Cheers.

    I love how you rocked out to Heart the entire video! Very cool of that Vayniac to send you those wines. Would be very cool to see his wine celar!

    QOTD: I was not born till ’83 but I would say my favorite thing about the ’60s is my Mom being born! You rock Mom!

    QOTD 2: A 10 hour drive and a girlfriend with mono means I won’t be able to make it. I really wish I could be there though! Definitely get some video of the party for those of us who can’t be there.

  • Good job on giving much respect to Martini. A true legend. I’m jealous of the wine AND the wristband (I missed the boat AGAIN!). Awesome show as always!

    QOTD: Hard to narrow it down to 1 single thing. Of course the music and TV shows, but also actually going outside to play with friends. We would stay out all day if we could. Now if you’re a kid, you spend it indoors playing video games or some other media entertainment after you attempt to finish the massive amounts of homework assignments. There doesn’t seem to be any time for the overscheduled kids in this rushed world of ours.

    I’m rushing home from a half-day of work to try to get to WL with the hubby around 1:30.

    Great Show. Thanks.

  • My favorite thing from the sixties would have to be garage bands, all garage bands. Their music inspires me like no other form of music can. Of course, this music culminated with the beach boys. But there were lots of artists that really rocked hard.

    QOTD:I was born in 69 so didn’t really “live” in the 60’s but by far the best and biggest influence for me from the 60’s was the MUSIC! Totally changed the music world! Maybe most IMPORTANT tho is the Civil Rights movement that came from the 60’s, lot’s of important shizzz happen in that era. Hard to pick just one!

    I’m sorry, but I have to throw this out: Dan B, I’m the ‘average guy’. Not only do I have limited access to wine, but I’m also new to it (not yet a year into drinking wine). But I’ve taken a lot of my free time to research the wines that GV has tasted. Of those wines, a small portion I’ve been able to find in various wine/spirits outlets in my home town. I wish I could reach over to you and hand you one of the 20+ bottles I’ve found near by me for under 15 dollars.

    It takes some effort to find the bottles that GV has tasted, but they are out there for us to try and possibly enjoy.

    IMHO, a good relationship doesn’t start with solely the first impression. A good relationship is built upon experience and dedication. If all goes well, the relationship will result into trust and loyalty. ๐Ÿ™‚

    QOTD: I was born in the ’70’s. . .so my favorite thing about the ’60s may have to be the courtship of my parents. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    QOTD2: I can’t make it. . .that effort is outside of my budget. ๐Ÿ™

    QOTD #1 – the moon landing in 69 – I was 9 and remember my folks calling me in from playing outside – it was black and white – with Walter C. (talk about old school) – but I got it – things were changing – we could put a man on the moon!

    QOTD #2 – AHHHHHHH! Sorry GV – can’t make it – but it was great to meet you in Santa Rosa for the twitter party – if you’re out to Cali – give me a call.

    i wasn’t born yet, but my favorite thing from the 60’s is this picture of my mom and dad right around the time they got married. my pops, who came from pakistan, has these huge chops (monstrous sideburnes), and my mom has straight hippy chick hair down to her waist. the best part is– it’s almost 37 years later and they’re still together and in love… beautiful.

    Favorite thing from the 60s — 1969 DRC, Romanee-Conti. Drank last summer at IPNC in Oregon, first and last DRC as of yet. Quite a beautiful wine, showed a maturity that was perhaps just entering retirement, but not playing shuffleboard just yet. It was buying that new car to celebrate a life well lived and taking it’s mistress for a ride in upstate new york, only to have hot sex in a quaint B&B all week long drinking nothing but Austrian Riesling, Grower Champagne, and Colheita Porto.
