90/100

Line of the day, Sasha – ‘I nailed it’ Gary ‘No – you agreed with Robert Parker’

Good show – I like the way Gary has so much more knowledge and insight into the wines tasted but doesn’t make Sasha feel bad for not knowing so much. Classy

    Sasha looked great, and his new tie policy is elegance restored. Was fun watching you both!
    Best, Julia

    That was fantastic. Your dad is all over the place in a good way.
    QOTD: Its a tough call, probably going to be a really good game, but I think Steelers. Of course I’m a Bears fan, so…

  • Sasha, you looking younger these days… what is your secret? Could it, GASP, possibly be the vino?

  • KAHUNA

    So now we are the Cindy Forum….GVaDnozzlecanoe

  • ALLAN

    The Best Brown Paper Bag Ep EVER! End of Story!!!

    Kudos to Sasha, what a gem of a dad you have there Gary! Again, Instant Classic!

    Food comes to the table; Sasha: “Now we’re in business…..”

    Qotd: Superbowl????

  • Sacha’s the only guest episodes of WLTV I watch. and it’a a brown bagger to boot. Now to watch, TTFN

  • …by the way, this was the first time I saw your Dad on the show. Secondly, to answer your ALMOST QOTD, before you realized it wasn’t your call today, my favorite steakhouse is The Met in Seattle. (I THINK that was going to be your question…)

    Love it! Love when your dad is on. I see where you get it from and he knows his Napa Cabs!

    QOTD: Green Bay all the way!

  • How ’bout a SUB QOTD: Seahawks 26 Jets 20 in 4 OT’s! : )

  • Leon Washington returns a punt for the winning score!

  • Is that cheese sold on Gourmet Library? Only watch on occasion but it’d be a good idea to tag stuff that’s sold on there as well.

  • I love the affection between you and your dad! Awesome!! And I can see where you get your competitive spirit from;-)

    QOTD: Steelers

  • Sasha! I love when you have Dad on the show. So much love between you; it’s great to see. I grew up on California wine and these days I can barely stomach it. Oak, oak, oak, oak and oh yeah, how bit a little oak to go with that oak?

    QOTD: Want Green Bay but think Big Ben will do what he always does and win it by himself.

    Great show.

  • Awesome show. Whether it’s his uncanny ability to go without cheese for well over 15 minutes or his post-Soviet sensibility (whatever that means), ????’s appearances are always a treat.

    QOTD – Going to have to quote a certain Coen brothers film: “I’m with you fellers!”

  • ALLAN

    Shut the fuck up donny!

    QOTD – I don’t think the pack will run as well vs the steelers, and the steelers have too much big game experience… I think Tomlin is a beauty and as a bears fan I’ve gotta go with Pitt.

  • fat chef

    That was a fun episode. You can’t match the natural chemistry you have with your dad!

    QOTD: GB 31 Pitt 24

  • Cubatobaco (Ray)

    You got to love it when Sasha is on! Now, if I could somehow dismantle the firewall here at work so that I could stream the video….

  • Cubatobaco (Ray)

    Great movie – O brother where art thou

  • “thanks for being on the show dad”, at 21:39 of the new #WLTV episode is the most wonderful and lovely scene in 980episodes 🙂

    Sasha, you crack me up! I’ll bet that you’ll demand that their be a camera at your deathbed just so that it will be recorded that your last words will be, “Gary, I’m going to do this better than you will.” 🙂 (hopefully not for another 30-40 years)
    QOTD: Steelers 24 Packers 17

  • Loved the show! First time I saw an eps with your dad. I didnt look back on old videos yet, haven;t had the time for it.

    QOTD: I think the Packers will win. Gonna be a 34 – 31

  • Your dad reminds me of someone. Oh, I know…The pizza guy down the road. I will take a picture and send it to you.

    Packers…It will be a blowout!

    Great show – wished you had identified the white wine your dad enjoyed! He’s a trip.

  • First time I have seen a show with your dad. Lovely. I have no interest in wine but my friends are head over heels for it. I’d share the cheese with you without hesitation. Loved your dad looking at his watch and tapping his fingers at the beginning but he was excited to nail it at the end. Says a lot about life.

    AWESOME!! Sasha and the Brown Bags!! Santa GaryV is down the chimney!!

  • Beautiful. Fun Episode dude. TSL and I are requesting you film a friday special at the COUCH for tomorrow’s show. Hopefully you haven’t filmed it already.

    Bring the pack of hockey cards.

    QOTD: The Packers

  • Anonymous

    I think you’re setting a bad example with the tie. So 1950,,,
    Don’t like the Steelers but I think they will rule the day.

  • I want to see more of Sasha! BTW, the Obsidian Ridge Half Mile is NOT a Napa Cab: it’s all or mostly Red Hills Lake County fruit.

  • pseudo-QOTD: I’ve never been to a “great” steakhouse. My favorite is still my backyard grill!
    QOTD: GreenBay

  • Rad show. Your dad is undefeated.

    QOTD – Green Bay all the way.

  • Jaybird76

    QOTD: Pittsburg only because I took the early line on the AFC

    I’ve never seen someone eat so much cheese in such a short period of time and then be so fit.

  • Anonymous

    Sasha is THE man!! Please bring him back each month!

    QOTD1: the palm.
    QOTD2: steelers.

  • Congrats on the show. Absolutely loving the contrast between your unbound enthusiasm and your dads cool calmness 🙂 guess that is why you pay so much attention on diversity in the palate as well? Anyways, hopefully awaiting the 1000th episode 🙂 QOTD: Superbowl will be won by the Packers 🙂

    Love the Met, too. Their seven layer chocolate cake is awesome.. I hear they make good steaks, too.

    This episode makes me want to drink wine out of paper bags just so I can be cool like you guys!

    Now that’s entertainment…….good stuff. I will have a Cali Cab tonight.

  • And a great character. Delmer is the epitome of what I would call ‘noble ignorance’.
