Guests seemed pretty cool, although the wines were not.
QOTD1 – I am a hockey fan, therefore no marketing for me. Go Canes!
QOTD2 – drinking in a cold arena is not my bag.

Quite a boring show for me – just didn’t feel like the wines were the focus on the show.

QOTD – never gone to a hockey game

Gary,
Good show.

QOTD 1: I was a big Blues fan in high school and now with work and limited free time it is hard to follow all the sports so I just stick to baseball and football now.
QOTD 2: My beverage of choice at any sporting event is an ice cold beer. As long as it is not Miller, Coors, or Budweiser.

One of the best shows yet, Gary. The Nadeau brothers are Stars in this part of Canada. I am sure there will be tons of new followers to your blog from Eastern Canada following this show.
Cheers,

I am not a big hockey fan and have only been to 2 games in Atlanta. I did enjoy them because they seem a lot faster and rougher in person than on TV. So I guess hockey needs to get more of us to attend games because watching on TV is not making me a fan. I would probably drink beer at a hockey game.

QOTD 2: Watching hockey at an arena reminds me of when I was a little kid when I went to more hockey games with my family, so I have to have a hot chocolate!

QOTD1: MORE FIGHTS!!! Seriously, hockey is the best sport in the world,with the possible exception of Steelers’ football.

QOTD2: Alexander Keith’s, no question. Why the he** don’t they export it to the states?

Awesome show GV – cool guys.

1999 1st game of Jets season you cried….maybe you cried because in that game against the PATRIOTS Testaverde blew out his achilles and they did end of losing….But you did not cry because they lost to the 49rs on a 90 yard run or whatever…as that is not possible. Keepin it real.

QOTD 1: I used to be a HUGE hockey fan, but the NHL lost me in the 2000’s with the sloppy play, the ineffective rule changes, the expansion, and then the lockout. To get me back? First, fire Bettman and bring someone competent in would go a LONG way. Second, contract 4-6 teams. The last round of expansion should never have happened because the talent is just absurdly diluted now. The NHL needs to reverse out that error. Third, move a couple teams back to Canada. There’s no reason Winnipeg, Hamilton, and Quebec shouldn’t have teams. Finally, reduce the goalie pads to what they were back in the 80’s and 70’s. That, more than anything, will give scoring chances the excitement they deserve.

QOTD 2: Good beer or Diet Coke.

Loved this episode, like one commenter said, felt like I was hanging out with friends tasting wine and talking sports.

QOTD1: Figure out a way to make winter sports popular and relevant in the South. Hockey just doesn’t do well in the hot and humid southwestern Tennessee!!

QOTD2: At Tennessee Titans games I love getting a Blue Moon complete with an orange slice. (I’m girly when it comes to beer – I’m mostly a wine girl.)

To be frank, I’m not a sports fan at all and did not like this episode. I thought the guests were more interested in self-promotion than wine. I can’t answer either of the QOTD’s.

QOTD1: I’m a hockey fan. Go Ducks. Seems like there are fewer hockey fans than I recall years ago. The games are on odd channels (Versus….spell?).

QOTD2: I’ll get one expensive beer at a game. Hopefully a premium brand is available.

Gary: Love’d the brotherly love! This episode felt like sitting around with a few friends drinking wine and talkin’ shizzzz! Another winner!

QOTD1: Money ruins the sport. Go Amerks!
QOTD2: Beer, beer and more beer!

Bruins loss was devastating. Worst Boston sports event since the Knee injury that shall remain nameless.

qotd1- the rule changes and the new stars have brought me back from apathy. Also the new Boston GM and coaching duo.

qotd2- Beer, something local.

Wow, these boys grew up just a few hours from me… I’m a Miramichi native myself, have an uncle that lives in SJ, NB. Poor bastards have to deal with NBLC to get their wine.. My brother has to contend with it, he hates it, costs too much and limited availability. Dude on the right reminds me of a cross behind Sean Avery and Ty Domi.

My younger brother was a Canadiens fan… I basically rooted for whoever was playing them Saturday night on Hockey Night in Canada… My dad was a Leafs fan, so I took the same approach … I was a Calgary Flames fan growing up, then turned to full blown Pens fan when I moved to Pittsburgh.. Did I mention we just won the Cup!!! GO PENS!!

QOTD #1: Huge hockey fan, so question one doesn’t apply

QOTD #2: I stick to diet coke at the game.

Funny episode. Good guests Aye.
QOTD1: Go Bruins!
QOTD2: Any kind of sporting event has to be beer. It’s the only think that goes great with sausages, hotdogs, peanuts, popcorn, pretzels. Except the new Garden – TD Bank North does offer a lot in mixed drinks and fancy foods.. So.. Jack and Coke? If I got a plastic cup of wine at a Bruins game I would get the crap kicked out of me. Rightfully so.

What a great show…I really liked the guests they have good humor and were a nice change from the “norm”. As for the

QOTD#1: I think that if tickets were not as expensive, or if concessions were not as expensive I would probably pay attention more to the sport. I went to the first two play off games in Canada back in 2008 and the third game in Boston with an uncle. It was a great time…but his cost to such an event was beyond what I could or would spend my own money on. So if the cost was lower, I would be more likely to go to games…if I went to more games I would be more likely to follow the games I miss on TV….but I don’t own a TV. Maybe if the entire games were available for streeming and free download I would be more likely to follow the sport…just a few thoughts.

QOTD#2: I will usually look for a beer like Sam Adams, Newcastel, or Heineken….
