line of the day – ‘At Nashville I said, ‘Titans suck’, and coach Fisher was in the audience.

I kept switching between liking then not liking this guest all through the episode. Still cant quite make up my mind!

    have never heard of such a tasting, intriguing question and guest. MUST have him back – perhaps part of an episode 1000 extravaganza!

  • Hello Gary
    QOTD; I think it´s time to get real about winemaking processes, I think it is impossible to tell unless you pre-know if a wine its made by a lady or a boy. Why? Because wines are oftenly made by more than one person… It may be planned by a women, the recepy may be bossed by a lady but the wine it´s made by more than one person… It has to be ultra micro garage wine to be nutrished by only one person.

    I preffer wine made by experienced extreme people, like spanish and french natural wines… Technowines are extremly boring, specially “boredeaux”…

    Can’t wait 21 years for a father/daughter show. You’ll have to have her on sooner for a sniffy sniff segment OR come up to Canada where the drinking age here is 18! See you both in 17yrs 364 days! Congratulations to you, your wife & whole family!

    What the hell. Schuster is… CrAzY. I loved it. Sometimes it was difficult to understand him but what a world of experiences he has. There is something strange and exciting when you see or meet someone, and right away you know, that this guy/girl has led one of the coolest lives ever. It is the impression that people got who met a Jerry Garcia, or James Dean, or Rockefeller, etc…

    Best show ever! Loved the guest. Loved the chatter. You should do a show with this guy every so often.

    QOTD: My palette is not there yet to be able to distinguish the winemakers, but will definitely give it a try from now on!

    “Misha Ava Vaynerchuk was born at 9:37 AM on May 31, according to Vaynerchuk, who said that Misha tipped the scales at 8 pounds, 5 ounces. “Lizzie and Misha are doing great!” he said on his Twitter account.”

    Gary – Do you remember in Lady and the Tramp when the baby shows up for JimDear and Darling and Lady starts pouting because she’s not getting the attention she used to? Well, I’ll be doing my very best to avoid pouting in the next few weeks if it takes you until 7.4 to get out another episode.

    I wish I had Daniel’s sense of humor and gift of gab. You have to listen to every word he says or miss something good. QOTD – I have no idea when I taste a wine if it is made by a man or a woman. Maybe we need an episode on how to tell the difference.

    Gary—

    Many, many blessings and heartfelt congratulations to you and Lizzie on the birth of your baby girl, Misha Ava!! Love her name, but the only other Misha I’ve encountered was the big, Old English Sheepdog that lived a couple doors away from me years ago! HAHA! (Cuddly, fluffy dog, though)! Appropriate arrival date, don’t you think?—-Smack dab between Mothers’ Day and Fathers’ Day!

    A new life begins…for Misha and the Vaynerchuk family. I know you are in love all over again! YAY!!
