Outstanding show. I score you and your Dad together 100 points! This was a perfect show for the holiday. After that discussion, I am certainly going to try the Don Alfonso cab.

I had the Galil Yiron with our Passover seder. I liked it a lot and thought it stood up really well with the brisket and salmon, both really fatty. The other kosher wines we had were more like the Alfonso – too thin. I may try them again, but not with such a hearty meal.

Outstanding episode! I like the patriarch of the family! A sincere man! Gary you should make your father your co-anchor! Its fun when you involve some family and personal life into the show!
Good chemistry/energy!! Great to see some family Love!

Also I enjoyed the food pairing on the side! Would be interesting if you could always recommend some food with the particular wine.

During the conclusion, your father was very diplomatic and positive about our president! I commend him for that!Thats what we need in America! Positive attitude!

Thanks for keeping your show entertaining and different every time!

It’s like watching American Chopper with wine. Good stuff!

Gary! Azog says: “Don’t listen to the other commenters. Keep interrupting your guests. Its part of your personality and the personality of your show and what separates you from becoming Oprah Winfrey.”

Azog also says: “Darth Vayner and Azog need to arm wrestle”

Your dad should have his own political show. Wonderful episode, Gary.

Loved it! That Vaynerchuk Senior is a kick too. It would be fun to be a fly on the wall for your family dinners…this was a good taste of it. Thanks!

Three simple words…..”I LOVE SASHA”!! Fun show!

QOTD : when will we pull out of this economic mess? When people start taking responsibility of their actions and start holding each other accountable!!

Loved the show! What a wonderful father son relationship to see. My mother was from Brazil and I love the passionate banter between you two. Reminded me of my family, my husband used to think my family fought all the time until he realized it was just passion.

You should have him on the show at least annually!

QOTD: don’t know, hope it will get better before the government ruins it.

Sasha checking the time on his watch 20 seconds in was classic!
Hey, it was about time you let a swear though! Nice work! We’re all over 21 here.
Sasha never fails to bring it. He’s my favorite reoccuring guest. Puts GV right in his place. Love him.
Could be my favorite episode.
QOTD: Hopefully next year.
I agree cash is king. If you are cash heavy right now, you can do what ever you want.

Thanks for coming on Sasha, great episode!

Classic Episode. Your dad is adorable.

WOW its Dad.

YO YO YO YO dont diss on KEDEM, their from the Hudson Valley.

hahaha this is hillarious! I love it.

qotd; SUPPORT THE MAN! speaking of cash, you guys really should invest by helping me start a farm, nothing more solid than an agricultural estate. please?????????

Gary, what do you think about Miles Austin from the Dallas Cowboys visiting the Jets? I also was wondering what you would have thought if T.O. landed with the Jets. great episode, btw.

Sasha is just so awesome, so real, and a superstar!!!

Qotd. 1. Obama is incredible and has done no wrong in my eyes. He has played every ball that has come at him perfectly. he is my political saviour.

Qodt 2. The economic crisis in some areas is starting to lift now, in other areas has not sunk in. The market index will start to lift overall in 18 months.

GREAT EPISODE!

Economic situation in US is at least 2-3 years away from really stabilizing, given the massive 1st time in US history ‘collision of so many important planets’; and when we do see 2 consecutive Quarters of positive GDP growth (even if only +0.1%) then still expect 2-3 Quarters of increasing unemployment!
My POV: 5-7 years before US gets back to about 80% of where it was economically…
BUT, remember, there are still 91.5% of Americans who ARE working and doing their best to help drive the turnaround…
which hits every 8-12+ years relatively predictably

Sasha is the man!
Straight-forward, business oriented, objective and no sniff-sniff preliminaries.

ALWAYS a good time when Sasha makes an appearance on the Thunder Show! I truly admire the relationship that you have with your father, G. AND I got quite a few laughs out of Sasha’s stubbornness!

QOTD: Realistically we will start seeing solid economic growth in early to mid 2011, but I hope that the turn happens in late 2010.

My first time checking in on the post…and I skipped backward to see this one. Great fun. My first time seeing Sasha too, so a nice treat to see where it all began. (and now a grand kid on the way)

I’m glad he gave you a little shit too! For crying out loud, it’s his palate and god dammit, if he thinks the Chilean is a good Summer wine – it’s a good summer wine – gotta practice what you preach.

As we all know, the best wine…is the wine in your hand.

Cheers and happy holidays!

Simply brilliant – laughed my ass off for the whole episode. Great rapport. What a cool Dad !

That was great!!!!! You guys were like two old Jews doing a Passover comedy show or something going back like that. And eating Matzoh and Gefilte fish and drinking cheap wine….lol That was funny!!

I’m going to do a spoof on that show when you have your next contest.

Sasha is THE BEST! I love your Father!! Happy Passover Sasha!!!

QOTD: I think that Obama has his hands full. He sold eveyone on the “Change” thing and he knew he could’nt change anything…well, at least not this year. It’s a shame he’s been caught in so many lies from his campaining days. I’ll tell ya what….I didn’t vote for him but really, what choice did you have? So he’s in…..and we just have to wait and see right! The thing I don’t like about him is, he pauses too long before answering a question, and 9 times out of 10 he never answers it in the end anyway.

And you are right Sasha…. CASH is KING. If I was GV I’d be buying up apartment complex’s and shopping centers. In 10 years you’re going to say… I should have bought real estate in 2009. Hell, I know he’s got some money stashed away….he flies coach…I mean really….who does $50 mill a year in sales and flies coach??? lol

I love ya Homey….Just bustin on my Homeboy….Ya know, that’s how I roll. And my main man Sasha. You guys rock!!

Holy crap that rocked. Damn your dad is cool. 🙂

Great Great Great episode your interaction with your father is awesome. Reminds me of my conversations with my father. More Sasha please…….and as for the QOTD : I feel it’s going to get worse before it gets better. I like the random qotd by the way about politics.

I laughed out loud several times on this one. I don’t remember the last time I did that with a network or cable TV show.

Sebastian is a mensch!!

One time a friend of mine met my dad, and afterwards she said, “David, Now I know why you are the way you are.” Same with this episode.

QOTD: I’m worried that it’s never going to come back the way it was. Which may be a good thing, because we are burning through our natural resources way too fast and we only have a finite amount of oil left. Slow down, sustain for our kids and for the new Gary Vaynerchuk Jrs. and Sebastians of the world.

I couldn’t watch it yesterday, but this was a great show. Sasha, were you talking about a tell-all book about Gary? Go for it! Thanks, guys.

(I forgot the) QOTD: I think it will be at least five or six more years before things turn around. I think over the next two or three things will get much worse and force a much-needed restructuring of the world economy, especially the US’s part.

One of the best episodes. The two of you could be a comedy team. QOTD – I think the economy will recover faster and better than the experts are predicting. At least I hope so.
