    Great show, first longer one I think I’ve ever watched entirely, most of your stuff that I’ve watched has been your keynotes or business related news casts (heard of you through Bradley Will and Andrew Warner). I’m in the process of making the shirt I promised you in the ustream, I’ll be shipping it out tuesday or wednesday to the wine library address. I hope you like it! It’s relevant to my passion (yo-yoing :)).

    As far as the question of the day goes, I’m not sure what you could improve, you guys are obviously doing an amazing job already. I’m curious if you share you shows on other websites or keep it to Viddler so they get branded? That’s really the only thing I could think of… Keep up the amazing work!

    i dont even know why i try…do you have an auto update that tells you in advance when these things go up!?!?!?!?!?!? or just a creepy sixth sense ; )

  • Waits

    You just have to give it a Sniffy Sniff…. ; )

    Just pure luck………………….

    Just a pure lucky sixth sense ; )

    Definitely enjoyed it Gary! You and your Dad are so much fun to watch, he is the ultimate WLTV guest. Period. Keep up the amazing work my man. I want to try to make it up for the supertasting this year, that sounds like a great time…

  • Don Simpson

    Miller is REALLY good!

    When I read your comment, “showed people the way to crush it”, the Peter Frampton lyrics popped into my head, “I want you-uuu, to show me the way, every day” ha

  • foofe

    Love the episode,

    QOTD: International Shipping?

  • Beeper

    Yep. I was right.
    “You with a little bit of me…” Sasha: “And me.” HILARIOUS.

    QOTD1: Read the chalkboard
    QOTD2: Expand. WLTV should have more high production wines – regardless of whether or not they are selling them.

  • Don Simpson

    @yankee22 — I really enjoyed your comment, “so great in it’s simpleness – wine and humanity” Well said indeed….

  • William Neslage

    Great to see Sasha again! I think he needs to be on at least monthly! As far as improvements…nothing it may mess up your great customer service! Well, maybe tying in some of your WLTV with Cindy offerings…

    As Always
    Thanks!!

    PS…still waiting for your fishing trip so that we can see a tasting at Sashas’ Wine Cellar!!!

    For the last 20 years I’ve run a (very) small buisness; did pretty well from 2001-2006. Could afford some pretty nice wines. Now my cellar is shrinking & I’d like to send a ‘FU’ to the White House! Last year was sketchy; this year is worse. Its starting to feel like the return of some horrible TV-sitcom from the ’70s: ‘Welcome Back, Carter!’
    Sorry! Politics & religion are always vibe-killers! This is why Gary says “no politics”…

    That he is, he pulled 40+ saves out of his ass last night that’s for sure

    Improving? Checked the value of the dollar lately?

    Oh, I agree, I wasn’t dissing the Super Tasting as a whole, just the lack of those little clips last year that attach your wine glass to your plate so you can eat some of that wonderful food with some decorum, to line the stomach at the very least. Without anyplace really to set things down, it’s pretty much a necessity. I intend to be there again next year, maybe we should say ‘hey’?? 😉 Actually I think Gary said in this episode it’s been going on 10 years now… I WISH it was only a car service ride for me, but I take the opportunity to visit family while I’m there so it’s not a total loss. 😀

  • right on girl, and this horse cart is a tanker ship…it takes more than 12 months to change years of a previous course, and systemic inefficiency…if it’s even possible to do so.

  • redeemed…only Sasha gets to rant political.

  • could only wish to be part of the tasting, but I know the wine clips, and the things are genius.

    As easy as it is to blame whichever pundit we see on T.V. nobody should. Small business has taken the worst hit since the 70’s or before, there is no doubt. However, I hope you are not referring to the present executive branch as the sole culprits. Theoretically things have to get better, only a few times in history have super powers kicked the bucket so quickly. And if things don’t get better, well then we are all Fu*ked.

    Thank you Don. Sometimes it seems easier to razzz GV and/or his guests, but this was a time when a compliment was definitely needed.

    Congrats on making it 4 years gary! That's insane to me, 5 days a week, 260 shows a year, about three wines per show is: 780 wines reviewed a year, 3120 wines in 4 years… I can't believe there are that many different wines. 🙂

  • sullydude
