THE GREAT ONE!!! Wow… what a surprise. Gary, it looked like you were having a blast with Gretzky on the Thunder Show, great stuff. I don’t know if it was the lighting but that Napa Cab had great dark color, I’m surprised you didn’t mention that.

Question of the Day: No, the Yankees will not win the World Series.

I was very surprised great show and very good wines. As stated, alot of times a famous person name is used but the product doesn’t live up to the hype.

QOTD: I hope not the Yankees for a long time dominated.

J Crazy
The Great One.

QOTD: Yup, sometime.

Awesomest episode.

HUUUUUUUGE Episode Gary, Wayne Gretzky is up there with Ruth, Tiger and Pele! Sounds like someone who has a sense of his brand and what it means to the marketplace. You’ll have to get some of his wines into the library. How can you betray your state by being a Ranger fan?

QOTD: Yankees in 6 the slump will be over

What a tremendously gracious man, Wayne is! The GREAT ONE still certainly applies as a handle based on his personality and character. I’m so impressed that all of the proceeds are being used to do good work. Got to get my hands on these wines someday!

How can this be beat??

I’ve got one word for you: Michael Air Jordan………but then again, it may be a tie because they’re both uncanny.

Best guest yet bar none.

(big ups to Brantford)

Cool show + guest. I’ve never met Mr. Gretsky, but was a big fan when he played. Seemed like he was a bit toasted for this interview though …

QOTD: God, I hope not.

Greatest guest ever. Fantastic show Gary. You showed some good hockey knowledge too.

Greatest assist ever – Gretzky to Lemieux in the 1987 Canada Cup

QOTD: Nope.

Congrats Gary, you must be extremely proud, but you really said it best when you tweeted comparing lamaze class. A true man.

I was just as excited as you were the entire video. You are definitely going were you envision when what you build is attracting great people like Wayne Gretzky and you seem to be a much bigger hockey fan than I thought. Who’s your Stanley Cup pick?

BTW my favourite pair of dress pants are, in fact, Wayne Gretzky… his clothing line. He really does it all and extremely well.

Your next great Canadian athlete on the show: Mike Weir. Ever try his wine? I haven’t, but I do love the Inniskillin and Jackson-Triggs you spoke of.

QOTD: No way.

Michael Schoonmaker
Awesome. Pure awesome.

QOTD: I sure hope not! Go Sox!

um, tripod? great footage but a little shaky. I get that’s your style, i think it’s time for a tiny bit more professionalism.

GREAT SHOW!!!! Close contest between him and you dad for best show of the year. I suggest a showdown with Wayne and Sasha when WG comes to your shop.

#99 means everything to the sport of HOCKEY and I am stoked (but not at all surprised) to see WG protecting (and adding to) the brand.

I wish my son had a chance to see special athletes like Lance Armstrong, Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Michael Jordan and WG dominate their sports. We were very fortunate to witness true excellence.

Stock it!!!! I will buy it all!!!

Gary Amazing Show. This month has been incredible!

Wayne Gretzky is Money Period.

QOTD: No.

Idea: 99 Special Edition Signed Bottles for each Vintage! Where Do I Buy?

GOD I hope the Yankees don’t win…

Wayne, it was awesome seeing you on the show. Obviously you have had a great career, and post-hockey career. Wow.

As a NC native….GO CANES!

It looks like Mr Gretzky likes ALOT of red wine.

QOTD: Please, it will be lucky if they stay out of the basement let alone make it to the playoffs and win the World Series. Talk about getting nothing in return for your investment.

Go CAPS!

Cheers!

Awesome show. I loved the interplay and Wayne seems like a very likeable, down to earth, character. It is truly refreshing, as you mentioned, to see great quality come with a big name.

QOTD: no way!

Awesome episode!! Superb guest.

VERY Cool show today! When I was growing up, I got to watch the Oilers first hand as they started their dynasty with Wayne.

Hey Gary, Ask Wayne why he didn’t follow through and buy the old Chicago Black Hawks old Scoreboard. Everybody in town thought that he was going to save the scoreboard. He told the world he was going to buy it?

I’d score the show a 93+: balance between having such a classy guy like the Great one (sweet) and camera/sound that was about as ‘raw’ as you could get (acid) (but it worked!)-Gary balancing his awe for Wayne and his take on the wines–Everytime Gary went for the sniffy sniff Wayne was gulping his glass down, absolutely hilarious.

Like the last response, Gary, and this show, just puts a smile on my face, no matter what.

QOTD: No, because they don’t have enough Nick Swishers, their middle relief is weak, and expensive starting pitching is notorious for not being able to deliver(apologies to J. Santana, who actually does)

THE WAAAAAYYNER!!! Was it not said that everyone who watches this will recieve an autographed bottle?! I don’t even mind if mine is a half bottle! What a thrill to see The Great One on WLTV! QOTD: no chance.

Dan
What an honor! I’m sure you were thrilled to be in the great one’s presence! I was thrilled, and I’m a couple thousand miles away. Maybe Wayne should be thrilled to be in your presence too, since you’re becoming quite the celeb as well.
QOTD: No, the Yankees don’t have a chance this year.

By far my favourite show yet! Gretzky was my favourite player growing up! Thanks for doing this show! I’m pretty sure I suggested this months ago when you asked for ideas for shows…I think that deserves a free wristband or something?
QOTD: Jays are going to make a run for it this year! (to be honest, I’m too into the NHL playoffs right now to have a clue what’s happening in baseball)
