line of the day – ‘My wife has two nurses’

This guy might be a legend in the business and have a great back story, but he was just a little bit past it to make the show an entertaining one. GV did his best to tee the guy up but at 93 years of age waddayagonnado?

  • Awesome interview… Being new to the liquor industry this was extremely educational. GV good job on the interview. It’s great to learn about stuff that’s happening in our backyard.

    It’s always amazing hearing people reflect back on ‘how it was’ especially in the case of prohibition-era knowledge.

    QOTD: The Jets MIGHT get another ring in the next 25 years.

  • Surprised to even see an episode what with the knee surgery and all. Always good to hear from the people who started it all. Note that you made no comment on the wine at all. As to what will happen. I will wait to see. The cruise information is up but not on the WLTV page. Need to get that to everyone. crushitcruise.com

    QOTD: I think we just take all the “predictions” from the experts and then reduce them by half. We didn’t have those flying cars in 2010 like they thought we would.

    That was a good episode. The Audio was kind of tough in parts. Loudest interviewer and quietest guest combo I have ever seen. It was good though.

  • paul

    Very cool!!!

    Cutest show ever. Need more “non-tasting/non-scoring” shows like this.
    We all should be so lucky when we are 93. What a charmer and so refreshing.
    QOTD: Just fine.

    Good interview. Interesting to get a 1st hand view of the wine world as it’s grown, thanks Mr. Opici.

    QOTD: 25 years? That’s too many tomorrows for me to think about.

    Best interview yet Gary (regarding the lack of interruptions).

    I hope that I look that good at 93. Though I don’t want to be working at that age.
