  • Welcome Mischa. She had her WLTV debut but didn’t seem to like most of the wines. Same as daddy. My sunshine is our granddaughter who we just played with this weekend.

    Gary,
    Congrats and great episode. My cousin had some complications with her pregnancy and had to deliver this morning six weeks early, but so far everything seems to be ok considering the circumstances. But the theme of the episode definitely tied in well with the atmosphere here today.

    QOTD: My wonderful wife who I haven’t seen in 6 weeks, but will be flying to see on Wednesday.

    You are my sunshine today! Except when you bash Cali Barbera by only giving it 88 points for only 18 bones. I challenge you to find any Barbera that makes you smile like that one did for 18 bills.
    Welcome back! We missed you. Beauty of a kid. Does the diaper smell like a big Burgundy?

    Awesome!!! She is so adorable! You could’ve just skipped the wines in this episode. You know, they say you’re not supposed to stare at the sunshine, but I can’t think of anything better.

    QotD: My wife, Laura, without a doubt.

  • Orion S.

    PS – We missed you, man.

    Oh Gary, she is sooo beautiful! It brought tears to my eyes. I am so proud for you guys but you had better watch out because she stole the show. Family is my life and love. Keep little Misha safe and we hope to see more of her as she grows.

  • Gary,

    Misha is beautiful. My sunshine is, without a doubt, the wife and kids. Professionally, I’ve really been getting into the Web 2.0 marketing lately. I’m helping friends who have their own businesses improve their inbound marketing through better social networking through community involvement both in person (networking events) and on the web through blogs, podcasts, twitter, LinkedIn. It’s an exciting time we live in.

    I am partial to anything from Italy. Is there any decent Barolo or Barbaresco made in the U.S.?

  • Great episode.

    Best Italian varietal I have had outside of Italy is La Cetto Nebbiolo from Baja California. It is no barolo, but it is good. (and only $12 in Mexico)

    Sunshine= my 4 yo daughter Sofia
