  • QOTD: Helping people make extra money. It’s amazing when a 15-20 minute conversation gives some someone a new sense of hope that they’ll make it through this economy. I get to live my passion, and the people I help don’t ever have to pay me a dime, a pair of billionaires do.

    On a Wine related note. I seem to have taken quite a liking to Spanish whites. Any suggestions?

  • Gary – Cool name for your daughter – but then I’ve had to say that…I’m Misha from Misha’s Vineyard, in Central Otago, New Zealand! I think we’ll have to get you a bottle of our 2009 Misha’s Vineyard Pinot Noir to put down for the next 21 years – what do you think? Congrats anyway. Misha

  • MrTaz

    Hey Gary,
    We’ve missed you. Some excuse for taking a week off!
    Great “Reality TV”. Pretty impressive that you can jump up to check on Misha and then come back to your thought without missing a beat. Addled brain syndrome hasn’t kicked in yet.
    Misha is adorable, and quite the fashion plate.
    Enjoy these years with your daughter. They go way faster than you can imagine when you’re in the midst of it all.

    Hey Gary,

    Life’s picked up so I haven’t been watching for the last few months (school and a girlfriend of 7 months) but your email calling in your viewers popped up on my new Palm Pre and I couldn’t resist checking back and seeing your new co-star.

    Right now my sunshine is my girlfriend; life is 130% as vibrant now compared to when I didn’t have her. Love and good things are in the air everywhere.

    Keeping rockin’ the wine world, GV.

    Did you print up Misha’s shirt before my reference to you sniffy-sniffying the diaper in the last episode’s comments Gary?? Just saying, I’m wondering who was quicker on the draw…

    Misha’s a doll. end of story.

    QOTD – My wife and three kids. and my two dogs.

    I don’t think I’ve ever commented here before, but I have to say, Misha is gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous. Wow, Gary — you are a lucky man. Blessed, really.

    My sunshine, on a similar note, is my Gradon, and soon to be his son, too. Getting a ready made family is kind of magic.

  • 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 enthusuastically, 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 Wine Library TV along with 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.

  • Welcome Back Gary!
    How wonderful it is to see you so happy with your sunshine, I’m sure I will also see it that way when ( and if ) I have children of my own.

    QOTD: for now, my sunshine would be my girl Marcela and my career, but as I said I’m sure that will change when we have children of our own.

    Italian varietals are tricky, and there was some talk about that on an early WLTV. I remember trying one Nebbiolo from LA Cetto that I thought it would suck but to my surprise it was amazingly well rounded, tanic and fruity. Goes to show You never can tell.
