line of the day – ‘did you really think I missed those eyes you made at the camera just then, I OWN this space.’

Good laid back episode, glad the guest said ‘no’ a couple of times and stuck to his guns when asked if he detected a particular flavour. Most guests cave in immediately and say yes, even though you know they haven’t tasted it. As GV says, there is no right and wrong when it comes to one’s own palate.

    QOTD: It’s gonna end after 5000 shows. TimF, great guest! I loved the 05 Relentless at a tasting out at Shafer, but for the money, it was tough to pull the trigger…so I bought HSS instead 😉

    Wow, possibly the most laid-back Friday yet. It was great to have you both just hanging out over wine- very fun.

    (morbid) QOTD: I’ll say the same thing I said yesterday- I hope it doesn’t end for a long, long time. Even if we have to go to just 1-2 shows/week as Gary gets busier with Vaynermedia and family life. But my hopeful answer would be whenever Gary retires, if that ever happens!

  • Zac Weiss

    QOTD: Gary will own the jets, bathe in crystal, and tell us all to fuck off. Major Roederer adverts throughout the show, Cliquot Ponsardin will be a bit-part affiliate, and Krug will owe him big favors. Meanwhile, Ruinart will be begging for his attention. Champagne, caviar, and big-league, that’s when it’ll end. Not after a few years of live shows in the Meadowlands, though ;-).

    Tim F was cool… REALLY relaxed… some of you other guests should be like him…

    QOTD: with a wine glass in my hand…?

    That was truly laid back!

    Well, the Babylon 5 answer to the QOTD would be ‘in fire’, but I’m hoping for a big party instead!

    Tim F with the guest visit! I still laugh remembering Tim’s pics and rundown of the Cali trip on the forums about Gary non-stop with the kubuki(sp?) talk in the back of the golf cart.

    QOTD: Gary will be hauled on carpet by Jon Stewart on the Daily Show after being a guest on Mad Money flogging his 10th book.

    I can’t wait to try the Relentless!

    QOTD: How’s what going to end???? If you mean the show, well then hopefully it will be when Gary is about 90 years old and decides to retire.

  • QOTD – It figures that just as I found something I like you start talking about the end. Maybe Tim can take over the duties.

    Does it have to end? Everyone is always so worried about the end, I choose to enjoy the here and now.. Be it life, this show, or anything else.. I’m still trying to figure out a way to convince my wife to get down there to the dirty jerz from CT to visit the store!!!
