The GREAT ONE, and a GREAT Show. Wow. I played hockey all my life, and as a homegrown Islander fan, I can certainly appreciate his greatness. Would love to try that Cab too. Wished you would have showed us a little more of his office. Very cool. -Gary

It was an OK show. Yeah, Gretsky is cool I guess. But Bobby Hull was better.

I was hoping to see Gary pan The Great Ones wines, and receive a crushing cross-check in return. Maybe next time!!!

Well done GV…thanks again for a great show.

Did you know he had over 200 hundred points in his top season. what the!

Holy crap, Gary how did you manage to get Gretzky on the show? Awesome. The Oilers dynasty is still fresh in my memory.

I don’t think the Yankees will win the world series cuz Boston is going to crush them, but to be honest I’m really just worried about the Canucks at the moment.

Off the hook, GV!! What a great guest. #99 will always always always be best hockey player who ever skated.

Glad you teased him about Opus and Gaja. Sorta like being fan of Britney and Nina Simone. Room for both styles – just not usually in the same iPOD. You could have had a blind tasting versus Igor Larionov’s Hattrick Reserve Cab.

QOTD: Yankees?? puhleeeeze

P.S. Us gals out here wouldn’t mind Mike Modano on a future show. =:^)

AWESOME guest, love The Great One and glad to hear his wines are quality and something to put on the list for the next trip to the store.

QOTD- NO, GO CUBS!

Great episode!! I still have my NYR Gretzky jersey from way back, I got it for my birthday one year.

I will keep an eye out for these wines, they sound excellent and I can’t wait to try some.

Pittsburgh represent. As always, the show delivers with passion and ferver, and introduces novel labels that I wouldn’t have heard of otherwise. I like how the licorice theme has been present throughout the week. What really excites me about Gretzky visiting is not only his exceptional fluency in all things wine, but that his presence has the potential to turn an otherwise oblivious demographic on to the wiles of fermented grapes.
QOTD: no doubt.

I’m speechless. I always liked Gretsky even before he came to the NYR.
QOTD – no.

Gary, this was the show that got me away from lurking. I loved following Wayne Gretzky and the Oilers growing up in Edmonton. I mean I saw him and Messier around town for crying out loud! He’s just such a class act. The two of you made my new favourite episode. Congrats.

And Wayne, if you’re reading this, thanks for all the good times in Edmonton! They are some fond fond memories.

QOTD. Blue Jays!!

Great episode Gary! Was amazed when I saw your tweet that you got “The Great One” on your show… So impressive that he got to know and learn about wine and didn’t just throw his name on the label. Gotta appreciate wines that have proceeds going to charity. Hope to pick up a bottle of the red as soon as i can!!!
QOTD: NO WAY SOX ALL THE WAY!!!!

What an incredible show (and a perfect way to make more vayniacs out of Hockey fans in my office)!

QOTD: No way to the yankees are gonna win this year.

Ohh also, Goooo Canucks! As Wayne said, goalies win games, and we’ve got one that started peaking just before the playoffs!

All Hail the Great One! Awesome opportunity to have Gary. 2 things though, watch the hand on the knee thing,maybe greatness does rub off. And get a tripod man, they make portable ones that work well. Poor AJ’s in traction now ! Go bruins!

Man – you just keep breaking the mold! Another instant classic show GV, and thanks for mentioning the San Jose Sharks!

QOTD – Nope… Seattle Mariners with Junior in the house!

Great show Gary….and though being English I cannot really appreciate the ‘Great one’s’ sporting achievements I can certainly recognise that getting him on a show is a major coup.

QOTD: dunno

I like the Yankees.. The Yankees at ball honestly, “Rule!” It’s a tough call. The unpredictable question; I say, No.
