Rather “meh” show, for me. No real theme other than “two hockey fans from Canada pick random wines”.

QOTD 1: I am not really a hockey fan, but I do often watch some of the play-off games. I have to admit they can be pretty exciting. If you wanted to get me to be a hockey fan, put an NHL team in Cleveland where I live.

QOTD 2: Doesn’t really apply, since I don’t go to hockey games, but I imagine it would be a beer – probably Labatt’s.

Nice show GV!

Those bros act a lot like me and my bro! Like you an AJ as well.
That Argentinean Malbec must be the best of the 2 reds.
There is another black label Punto Final in my cellar, I’m going to have a go soon, must be a good wine too.

If you like Argentinean Malbec, you should try the Yacochuya 2004 (90% Malbec, 10% Cab), one of the best Malbecs I had in my life. And it’s not from Mendoza, but from the very high altitude province of Salta. It’s gonna Crush It!

QOTD1: Not available.
QOTD2: In football matches down here, a cold beer.

Best wishes,

Mauricio Fernandes.

QOtD#1 The Stars do a great job of making games accessible. Great prices & pkg deals which makes it easy to bring the kids. Regularly posted schedules and radio ads remind me to buy my tickets.

QOtD#2 I like to drink Shiner Bock, great TX beer!

Hey Gary – great to meet you last night (me=chick in the red hat) at Lucky Strike, it was a pleasure. Congratulations on a great appearance.

QOTD 1: I would definitely watch more hockey if all games were as exciting as game 7 was last week. Loved it.

QOTD 2: Blue Moon is my current beer of choice whenever I’m in a beer-drinking mood, which tends to be the case at sporting events.

That’s embarrassing, apparently I’m smiley-face happy this morning…

Awesome show Gary, I enjoyed the light banter between the brothers. Reminded me a bit of myself and my younger brother

QOTD 1: Being Canadian you’re just expected to love hockey (I actually am a bigger baseball fan), but I would definitely be interested in watching your show if you did interviews with past hockey legends, current “up-and-coming” stars (even OHL kids – I train a couple) and even hockey announcers, writers, agents, and trainers (I’d be interested in being a guest

Could an episode #100 Goal be to interview Don Cherry?

QOTD 2: I would drink wine at a hockey game if there were choices other than over-priced crap (yellowtail). Creemore Springs Lager at the Leafs game is about the only beer I can justify paying $15 a pint for.

Thanks Guys

QOTD 1: I live in the tropics; ice-hockey is unfortunately not an option in Hong Kong.
QOTD 2: If I ever went it would probably be (decent) coffee and then a beer.

Cheers

Lurkers come out and play. You know Gary likes numbers. Lets hear some chatter!
Good show, Hockey, bad wine. What else could we ask for.
Great QOTD. Bad light beer for 10 bones, 20 for parking and if your team wins you might get lucky.

Good show and love the information.

QOTD #1 – Hockey lost me after the strike. If managment and players are so greedy, they do not need my money.

QOTD #2 – N/A but I do love a cold Coors beer at the Ball Park in Arlington, Texas when the Texas Rangers play.

QOTD 1 – They would have to find a way to make the entire season as exciting as the playoffs. Otherwise there’s just too much going on in all my other favorite sports (football, basketball, european soccer, baseball) for me to try and follow hockey. I try to dive in once the playoffs start though, Go Ducks!

QOTD 2 – Nothing beats an ice cold Diet Canada Dry!

QOTD #1 Put more hockey games on TV …….

QOTD #2 Cold draft beer – (a craft beer if they have it)

Great ep G …..

QOTD: I’m male, Canadian, and love pond hockey but hate watching a bunch of millionaires play it. If they want me to give a crap, the economics would have to not exist, which will basically never happen.

QOTD2: I’ve been to a few games on others’ dime, and I’m too damn cheap to pay $8 for a glass of shitty beer.

Good show, Gary! Forget what the haters say, I think it’s fine to have two seemingly good guys on the show who are passionate about hockey and enjoy wine even though they may not be sommeliers.

QOTD 1: Give me a National team in Portland, OR that I can support. I’ve always loved the Penguins, but it’s tough to stay an avid fan of a sport that’s not that embraced on the west coast, by National television, and when you have no local presence/team. Sure, if I had all the time in the world, but my jar is only this big and only allows this many rocks in it. (get that analogy)

QOTD2: Amstel Light or whatever is in the shorter line. Chimay at the bar.

These guys were great for your show and you should have them on again,,maybe next time they can bring their father,,,who makes wine.

QOTD#1: The recent finals reminded me: get rid of the mindless brawling and cheap shots and the sport is gorgeous, fast and extremely exciting. The fighting makes a game slower than the last minute of a playoff basketball game which comes close to defining infinity it can last so long.

wow GV, a couple more weeks and that interview with Katie Lee Joel might not have happened, or at least not in Mr. Joel’s house:

QOTD: #1) Even in south Louisiana, I’m a hockey fan. Ready for minor leagues to make their return here next season, predicted Pens in 6, but I’ll take it in 7.

#2) Beer, cold beer

Lowest dessert wine score ever for Gary V?

QOTD: Over priced beer at the Verizon Center.

You had me at Mario Paint! As if I wasn’t already a fan! Almost married a girl from Maplewood, wish I had known back then that you were so close by.

Love it!

Gary, why do you continue to have people on your show who don’t know jack about wine? Hearing two quiet guys who just go “meh” to every question of yours gets VERY boring. I love the show, but I think you’re better off sticking to guests who can hold their own when it comes to the vino. The college humor guys knew their wine better than these two canucks…

QOTD 1: Being from Canada originally, I love hockey. However, I now live in California and I don’t really think there’s much one can do to make it much more popular in the parts of the the USA where kids don’t grow up playing the game. It’s just not a part of the culture here. None of the best athletes play it as kids down here. I actually think the league needs to lose a bunch of teams in places like Pheonix and Florida. No one cares about the teams there. Move them either to Canada or the northeast/midwest of the USA. Bettman trying to keep the Coyotes in Pheonix is just stupid. Let ‘em move to Hamilton. It’s only just. They stole them from Winnipeg in the first place.
QOTD 2: Beer. What else would you drink?
