    What a beautiful daughter and we all know you will be a great Father.

    What makes my Life? Family! My Wife and two grown sons. It’s funny in a way. Whenever I look at my boys, I see them as they are today, but also as they were the day they were born. Take care Gary and enjoy!

    First things first: Misha is adorable, and she’s going to have you wrapped around her little finger by the time she’s ten.

    My dad’s from Kelseyville and I have family there, so having a Kelseyville wine win the tasting made me grin. (Okay, it’s not a competition, but still…) I’d be interested in your take on Steele wines from Lake County.

    QOTD: family, what else?

  • She’s adorable, Gary. Big Andrew Will fan; thought that Sangiovese would bring more thunder.
    QOTD – My Sunshine (former fiancee) just broke up with me over the weekend. Making my own for now – back to the wine biz.

    Mazeltov, Gary and family. This is the good stuff, the best life has to offer. I remember looking down at my daughter as a newborn and I inhaled and shuddered out of nowhere. I couldn’t believe she was mine, how precious it all was. There is not a day that goes by that I am not thankful these wonderful creatures are in my life and I find new ways to have them take my breath away. Hold on tight to every little thing.
    Kinda scary, your daughter is absolutely beautiful, a veritable “Mini You.”

    Good episode, despite the interruptions. Congrats on the baby. I can tell you look tired. It’s been 3 months since I had my first, and he’s only getting up 2 or 3 times a night now…which is a huge improvement!

    Suggestion for the show: One thing about wine that really bugs me is that no one ever seems to know how to pronounce anything. I’ve seen you stumble over plenty of names, and it makes me wonder how well you know them! So the suggestion would be (1) bring more clarity to the issue. If you’re not sure how to pronounce it, either find out before you do the show, or just let us know you’re not sure. And (2) maybe do an episode on how to pronounce wines from france or italy or wherever else.
