  • Great show eh? First off, “gobble upper”? I think that’s the first time I’ve ever heard you use that phrase before, LOL. I think that Wayne’s foundation is tremendous for what they do for children. An awesome incentive for people to purchase the wines regardless of how they taste, although you did score them pretty well. I’m in for some bottles of the Napa Cab if Wayne signs them at Wine Library.

    Billy Smith was the greatest goal tender ever…being from Long Island, I’m proud to say he was an Islander, although I am a Ranger fan.

    That Ice Wine soooo should have had a jersey label (not team specific), but that’s just my opinion…just a natural pairing if you know what I mean.

    QOTD: No, not if CC continues on his current path…but I’m probably wrong!

  • Just a thought…those wines are probably going sell pretty fast because everyone is going to think they scored 99 pts. HA!

    Have fun on the THUNDER CRUISE!

    Gary what a pleasant surprise having the great one on. I think his wife Janet should have been on as well. She seems to be the wine connoisseur. But I understand #99. Great idea for his foundation. I will try it for sure.

    Great episode! I could see the smile on your face straight away. Ide love to see you face to face with one of the jets! Would the wine come second over the football?

    QOTD: Most likely, I figure another world series between two podunk markets like Philly and Tampa would not please Mr. Selig especially in this economy. Hopefully he’ll do a little meddling (akin to how he is stopping everyone from signing Bonds for the league minimum) and get the Yanks in.

    Great show GV!
    The Great One obviously took putting his name on these wines very seriously and it’s good to see they stacked up. Would have loved to see more of his digs.

    QOTD: The Spankees won’t sniffy-sniff the series this year. Go Sox

  • Sick show Gary. I can’t believe you had “The Great One” on your show. Way to go! Being a huge hockey fan from Canada, it is great to see Wayne on your show. Looking forward to checking out number 99’s wine. I did not know he was into the wine biz. Thanks for enlightening me.

    QOTD: Not a big baseball fan, but I will say no to the Yankees winning. I wish the Expos would come back to Montreal 🙂

  • Janet Bell

    The Great One was a fantastic guest on your show. Gretsky was so humble and gracious–yet clear on his message. His foundation does so much for youth in hockey, I am going to start looking for his wines!
    Your interview was respectful and informative–great job Gary!

  • Sarno

    Us down here in the “podunk” Tampa market enjoy and love baseball as much u “northern” folk! It was great to see what a low salary team could do in baseball last year against the overspending high dollar teams. I don’t think the Yankees have a chance in hell of making it to the WS, they have no pitching! Was great to see them open that $1.2 Billion stadium with a big fat LOSS yesterday.

    Rays in 09!

    Great show GV! Great to see a sports guy on the show. Looking forward to trying that Ice Wine and the Cab.

    What an honest open guy. My favorite episode to date, and I have been here from the first one. This was the best chemistry I have seen you have with a guest. Nice extra that you like the wine.

    Recently, one of my sons had the cab at a California restaurant for a business dinner and really enjoyed it.

    OUTSTANDING! Never saw the show before but when I got an e-mail saying Wayne was on this episode I had to watch. Wayne was great and the whole show was a lot of fun!
    When will his wines be available at the Wine Library?
    Wayne, I’m a lifelong Yankee fan but I’m sorry, the yanks won’t win the series this year. They’ve lost the formula that won their recent championships with GREAT pitching and team chemistry.

    Wow!!! The Great One on WLTV….I was so blown away I am giving my first comment ever on WLTV…Didn’t know you where a Ranger fan, Gary!! Glad to hear it..I was in the store last week talking to your guys in the cheese area about hockey and Gretzky. His total career points is the most amazing stat in all of sports…even if he didn’t score one single goal he still is the all-time leader in career points!! Think about that…Lets go Rangers.-Tony

  • monden

    Great show with the great one! Sound quality leaves a little bit to be desired. I know this was not your typical video set-up, but hey, i work in sound so i had to leave a comment on that. But a great show and with the greatest hockey player of all time and his wines being that good (i trust you taste and honesty Gary) Good insight on hockey, wich i love (go Canadians!) I think i’m probably getting all these wines since i’m from Montreal Canada. I will definitely give them a try. Pretty wise move on Wayne’s part to invest into quality winemaking. Unfortunetaly, i think it’s not the same with every celebrity, like Dan Akroyd, for instance, wich i’ve heard that the wines he puts his name on aren’t that great. Never tried them, though.

    Great show again!
