    My sunshine is my daughter and son. I can’t imagine my life without them. Aren’t children amazing?! Enjoy the journey. Congratulations.

    BTW, I’m building a tower in my backyard for my daughter. Shall I plan a room for yours? I have a moat, but I’m still in the market for a dragon…

    Great episode. We were so happy to watch, and like other posters, I couldn’t believe you made us wait almost to the end to see little Misha. She’s beautiful.

    Well done GV & Lizzy. Misha is perfect!

  • QOTD: My Mom, who’s in the hospital right now, and hopefully able to go home on Wednesday. Also, the rest of my family, my girlfriend Erin, and our dog Suzy!

    Excellent episode, and well played with the sniffy sniff shirt. You got some of those for sale?

    My 2 cents: the hands-down best Italian varietal wines from the US are done by the Brewer-Clifton project called “Palmina”, a winery in Santa Barbara dedicated to 100% Italian grape variatals. Their Nebbiolo is awesome! Check it out Vayniacs!

  • Anna

    She is precious! Can’t tell you a thing about the wines you had on simply because I was loving listening to her little whimpers. What an attentive dad you are! My sunshine is my 12 year-old Gracie and 9 year-old Tommy – I can remember when they both were that little. Enjoy this time with Misha. It flies by so quickly!

  • Congrats, Gary & family! I have two friends who will have daughters within the week as well — both had due dates of 6/3 but alas, no little girls yet…

    Amador County out here in CA makes some pretty tasty wines from Italian varietals. I especially like Cooper’s Barbera & Sangio.

    My sunshine is hanging out with friends and traveling. I’m off to South America for 6 months in just a week!!

    Hey GV, thanks for coming back to us. And thanks for introducing Misha to all the thousands of us Vayniacs who creep into your life via WLTV, and Facebook, and Twitter, and all the other countless social media outlets that you seem to be a part of! I’ve told you before: my favorite episodes are the ones that incorporate your family.

    QOTD: First of all, you trump anything I might answer due to the fact that Misha is now in your life, so way to go you one-upper. I’m trying to find my true sunshine right now. I’ll let you know when I get there.

    Keep it real.
