I loved this show. If only you had your dad on there with you and Wayne, that would have been the best show you have ever made. Keep it up.

Capitals fan living in France! Loved seeing Gretsky but would love even more to see the Capitals take out the Rangers! Also would love information on a future show about some of the price differences between buying European wines in the States and buying them here in France. I live in Provence and often wonder how much difference there is between the price I would pay here for a good wine and what I would pay in the States (from DC originally). Might be an interesting show if you have enough ‘foreigners’ watching.

Had to comment before even watching…Wayne was my hockey idol as a kid. I had two autographed sticks from him and I parted with one to a charity and kept the other one. Glad to see you are mixing it up.

Can we get Wayne’s wife on here next time? Janet Jones is a biscuit.
QOTD: They’d better not! Hate the Yankee’s. Go Sox!

This was a great episode. I also loved the Twitter smack talk with Kevin Smith.

QOTD: in 2009? Not a chance. Ever again? Most likely – at least once or twice.

Gretzky IS the Great One, but nice to see him spread the love for Steve Nash. Nash is my favorite athlete and a class act as well.

QOTD: Not a chance!

Couldn’t believe it when I scrolled through my Facebook feed this morning that The Great One was going to be on. Now that’s a show!

QOTD: No, Yanks won’t take it. If they get blown out on opening day at their new stadium, there’s no hope.

Gary: Keep this angle going. I like where you have taken the show. Mixing it up and keeping it fresh. Informative, educational, hip with celebrities and wine/food guests…I think your building or branding an new market for wine. Congrat’s

Great show with the Great One! Props to Wayne for getting involved in a great cause.

QOTD: I wouldn’t bet against the Yankees, but I sure hope they don’t win the World Series. Go Angels!

Never watched the show before, great job! Very informative. Both Gary and Wayne seem like truly honest people, it is refreshing to see.

I still sport the 99 Gretzky jersey at the garden – I can’t believe it has been 10 years Wayne!

WHO CARES ABOUT THE YANKEES WHEN “THE GREAT ONE” IS IN THE HOUSE! WAYNE GRETZKY IS A CANADIAN TREASURE AND REMINISCENT OF THE OLD TIME PLAYERS WHO CARED MORE ABOUT THE REPUTATION OF THE GAME THAN THEMSELVES! HE GETS IT AND KNOWS THE GAME IS BIGGER THAN HE IS AND BECAUSE HE IS A GREAT PLAYER, HE KNOW HE HAS A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE A TREMENDOUS IMPACT ON THE GAME AND PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD! A GREAT AMBASSADOR FOR HOCKEY AND FOR CANADA!
WAYNE FOR PRIME MINISTER!
P.S. THE WINE IS GOOD TOO! JUST ANOTHER DEMENTION TO THE MAN, THE MYTH, THE LEGEND!

Thanks for the great show. Saw the Oilers win in Edmonton. The best team ever.

Hi Gary. I’ve been watching for a few months now and love the show especially the ones with the educational aspects. This is the first comment I have left. I couldn’t resist – being a Canadian after all. Great show with the Great One – he is certainly an icon in Canada. You opened my eyes. I’ve resisted buying these types of wines for the same reasons you mentioned on the show – the preconception that these wines are probably more about the name than quality. Thanks for the frankness. I will not shy away from these types of wines anymore but will evaluate them objectively from now on as with any other wines. Love the show. Thanks. Mario

Great, great show! Thanks Gary for having a legend on the program. Truly one of the best of all time. Enjoyed it!

P.S.
Go Canucks!

QOTD: Yankees World Series, NO. Red Wings Stanley Cup, Yes!

Way to avoid any talk of the Red Wings – namely their sheer dominance come playoff time. BTW, Steve Yzerman is MY “great one” & 19 > 99 all day long!

Wow – loved the show. As always, Wayne is a class act. My son has Wayne’s autograph on a player card from Wayne’s brief stint in St. Louis – it is his most cherished autograph. Wayne signed it around 11pm at his restaurant in Toronto. After spending a full day in his father’s charity golf tournament AND several hours in his TV studio taping a show… and he still had time to sign autographs for the kids… as I say, a class act!!!

Hi to Wayne from Newfoundland!

QOTD: No chance the Yankees will win.
