    Awesome. Misha is just adorable. Just had my first daughter four months ago, and I will tell you that a sniffy sniff on the diaper should be done without swirling!!! I NEED one of those outfits for my baby Charlotte.

    QOTD: My wife, and my daughter.

  • I love it! She is so cute. I actually teared up a little when you said she was your sunshine; that’s actually what I call my two daughters too.

    My sunshine(s) are my wife and two daughters. 🙂

    GV,

    Thanks for including us! She is incredible.

    That’s one sniffy-sniff I will not be partaking in.

    QOTD: No kids yet, so it’s the wife and dog

    I was hoping you’d give Misha some air time when you came back. She stole the show, Gary! And look at all that hair! My kids were all practically bald for the first year. Not little Mish. Spectacular.

    It is so fun to see you with “new daddy syndrome”. Every murble is worth an interruption, every move noted and loved. Fun times. congratulations, again!

    QOTD: You need to ask? My wife and kids, of course. I’ve got five ways to find the sun where I live.

  • Hey Gary,
    Congrats on the little one. Wow, what a cutie! And thinking a few years out….there are so many more athletic opportunities than there were when I was growing up. We traveled all over California playing competitive tournament softball for 8 years with my two oldest daughters,a great life experience,and that’s what life is all about. So move over Jets, and make room for Misha!
    So sorry you were dissapointed in the Dolcetto. The wine has been rated by 20 or more critics now, with ratings at the lowest end at 88 and as high as 93 by respected retailers, judges, and just people who love interesting well made wines. It is a joy to pour at tastings and wine events and watch people’s eyes light up after tasting a wine that has limited familiarity. Perhaps through shipping such a distance where wine is regularly subject to temperatures too hot or too cold could have been the culprit. But I will certainly leave you to your opinion. If you’d like to try another bottle, please let us know.

    It will be interesting to hear your thoughts on the Nebbiolo (double gold, Lodi Intl Wine Competition).

    What a beautie. You are blessed.

    My sunshine is first and foremost, my husband, Chas. I’ve been blessed with a love unequalled. Then, my children. . .all grown. They still give me blessings (of a new kind).

    Big congratulations on the super-cutie, Gary & Liz.

    QOTD: My two grand=daughters, Sofia and Carmen (5 and 3). Sofia was bald for about 6 months, and Carmen had almost as much dark hair as Misha. Sofia’s must have been sprung up in her scalp somehow, b/c when it emerged, it is so curly and tends to massive ringlets. Two very welcome rays of sunshine, most appreciated on the Wet Coast!

    No Doubt, Chris Camarda’s Andrew Will Wines are killer, as is most wine made in or sourced from the Red Mountain AVA. I think of great wines from Cadence, Arbor Crest, Charles Smith, Quilceda, and on and on. Not really a fan of the Col Solare, though.

    GV, and Liz – Congratulations! She’s a beauty!

    QotD – Sunshine is my Mom and Dad, my GF, my Daughter, and her year old daughter!

  • T-Servo

    Warmest congratulations. Wine may have been your number one passion…but not any more. If your interaction with your father is any indication, you’ll be a great dad. Just think, only 1095 weeks until she’s a (legally) sipping guest on your show. Enjoy every minute.
