    Excellent to see your little girl. I want one of those little sniffy-sniff shirts for my new girl (10/21 due date).

    QOTD – even though she hasn’t been born yet, I would have to say that my daughter is and will be my sunshine also. I can’t stop thinking about her and it just makes me so darn happy.

  • What a nice surprise! I never thought this was going to happen. What a memorable episode. To hear her cry reminded me of my own Lucia. Ten years from now you will go back and replay this episode and you will enjoy to hear that tender cry again. They grow so fast! QOTD: My life and sunshine is still my daughter, Lucia. Thanks so much for presenting Misha to us on the show. That was very, very nice!

  • I have tears in my eyes as I write up this comment! Misha is an absolute angel and I find it so inspirational to see how enthusiastically, admirably, and lovingly you have assumed your new role while continuing to deliver the same Gary Vay-ner-chuk we’ve all grown to know and love. Hats off to you and Lizzie! I look forward to seeing more of the “new” you on WLTV as well as the new greatest little guest.

    QOTD: Feeding my loved ones a fabulous homecooked meal (along with fabulously delicious wine) is the epitome of my sunshine.

  • Gary!
    My friend showed me the video of you talking at the Expo in 06´and from then on, i´ve been a vanyack. Not in the sense that i´ve watched all of your episodes, but rather from the business side of things. I think what you have built up with WineLibrary is incredible and inspiring. I have so many ideas now, but unlike before, i´m not dismissing them as dreams. I will make them reality. Thanks for the kick in the ass!
    Take it easy,

    LOVE your new distraction, Gary!! I didn’t hear a word you said, either. Just watching you and hearing Baby Vay in the background…priceless!

    Not long ago you asked, “Long hair or short hair?” You need to start growing yours to catch up with Misha…babies with HAIR…beyond adorable! And your life (you already know this) will never be the same. God bless you all!

    And do NOT blink…my “life” (son, Michael) is 26 now…yesterday, and I know it was just yesterday, well…you’ve made me simultaneously cry and smile with your BEST episode ever.

  • Hey Gary – gorgeous little girl. Doesn’t she look perfect! Looks like she’s getting more sleep than you! Thanks for sending out the email to make sure we knew about the episode.

    Wine – I’m with you, I prefer my Italian wines from Italy. I went to a tasting in Florence in April and got a superb Dolcetto for 10 Euros, almost as tasty as the 56 Euro 2001 Barolo I decided I couldn’t afford. I’ve been looking for dolcetto wines ever since you show many months ago, but there are very few available in the UK. The advice paid off when I reached Italy though!

    QOTD – My wife, Liz

    p.s. I see you’ve entered the Top 50 Most Powerful People in the Wine World list in this month’s Decanter magazine. Your 2nd appearance this year!

    Give this diaper a sniffy sniff…LMAO
    I’m sure you will be finding this new-found-scent in many earthy wines in the near future.

    Congratulations again on that beautiful little miracle of yours.

    QOTD – On a rainy day, my TeddyBear looks over at me with his warm, chocolate brown eyes and smiles ever so sweetly…that’s my sunshine.

    P.S. How does it feel when the guest cuts you off mid-sentence? How the tables have turned LOL

    So precious and adorable. Love the sniffy-sniff onesy.

    QOTD: My hubby and Bitsy, my Samoyed dog.

    I gravitate to Cal-Itals and Italian varietals produced in everywhere but Italy. There are a few surprisingly good ones, but most are meh or sometimes undrinkable. Still a lot of fun hunting for a good one.

  • Gary,

    Congratulations my friend. A very beautiful little girl. As we briefly discussed, my son was born this time last year (my sunshine)and it has been the best year of my life by far. Enjoy all the firsts (smile, laugh, roll over, crawl, steps…) it will be a wild ride but one that will be the most rewarding of your life. All of your friends here at l?Eté du Vin wish you and your family all the best and look forward to seeing you, and Misha, here in Nashville again in the future. Now go give that diaper a “Sniffy-Sniff”, chances are good Misha has her own “Secret Pack” for you.

    Cheers,

    Collin Husbands
