Wow, what an amazing show. We all know you are the wine guru but its awesome to see the sports side come out for an episode. I’m sure you have received this request a million times but I would love to see Namath on the thunder show. I’ve been lucky enough to meet him a few times and I think he would make an amazing guest. The Great One is the man and I will be on the lookout for his Napa Cab.

QOTD – Huge Yankee fan but I don’t think its going to happen this year. Too many holes in the pitching staff.

Great show GV! So much fun to watch.
QOTD: Yes, but I pick them to win every year.

Yo Guys, Cooooooooooool & Fuuuuuuuuuuuuun Episode!!!!!! Watched (on TV)
95% of the Los Angeles Kings games when Wayne played for them. This was
a Reeeeaaal Treat!!!

qotd: The Yankees should win the World Series with their Zillion Dollar
Payroll, but I see ’em choking again…..

QOTD: no

Gary could barely control his excitment, good for you meeting a legend and telling about his wine.

Yankees will not win but GO RANGERS! Happy to see Wayne get some “wine love” from Gary.

Best Show Ever!

Awesome show… glad to see that even though Wayne doesn’t ‘know’ wine, he had the smarts to make sure if his name is on it, it better be good…

Hope to find it here in Cali…

QOTD: Yankees will CHOKE yet again… spending the most $$ doesn’t make a TEAM!

QOTD: Even though I am a Yankee fan and hope they would win, I’m not feelin’ it this year.

Loved the show. Wayne, you’re a real down to earth kinda guy. The wines seem great–not like most of the celeb wines. Gary, make them available to us, even though I wouldn’t mind making the trip out to the Niagara region.

Usually, when seeing a “high-profile” name on a bottle, I will stay away, but it sounds like Wayne’s integrity is showing with these. I’ll buy these whenever I can find them

A great episode and a wonderful guest. It is so refreshing to see a athlete of Mr. Gretzky’s stature reaching out and trying to give back to the community. So often we do not hear of these efforts, I know there are other former and present athletes doing this but for whatever reason the media chooses not to publish these important acts.

Have not heard of the “99” wines but rest assured I will look and try them when possible.

QOTD – Don’t think so. We are seeing the end result of purchasing talent and not building a team.

Great show – looking forward to tracking down the Cab… I’m with Wayne though, sweet wines ain’t my thing.

So if we buy a bottle and send it to Wayne, can we get it autographed?

QOTD… I’m from Boston, need I say more?

Awesome show, The Great One never disappoints.

QOTD: No, I don’t think they will win the series this year. Go Bruins!

Qotd: no they won’t win

Wayne… that was great. Really enjoyed the show.

HOMEY!!!!!!!! That was BAD ASS!!!!!!!

I want my bottle…. Signed to Glen “Wine Crazy”

QOTD: I have no idea.

What a coup!!!! Hockey, wine and the great one. Couldn’t ask for more.
Short answer:NO
Al Pujols and the Cardinals have an uncanny ability to win no matter what.

Wow – loved the show. As always, Wayne is a class act. My son has Wayne’s autograph on a player card from Wayne’s brief stint in St. Louis – it is his most cherished autograph. Wayne signed it around 11pm at his restaurant in Toronto. After spending a full day in his father’s charity golf tournament AND several hours in his TV studio taping a show… and he still had time to sign autographs for the kids… as I say, a class act!!!

Hi to Wayne from Newfoundland!

QOTD: No chance the Yankees will win.

QOTD: Yankees World Series, NO. Red Wings Stanley Cup, Yes!

Way to avoid any talk of the Red Wings – namely their sheer dominance come playoff time. BTW, Steve Yzerman is MY “great one” & 19 > 99 all day long!

Great, great show! Thanks Gary for having a legend on the program. Truly one of the best of all time. Enjoyed it!

P.S.
Go Canucks!

Hi Gary. I’ve been watching for a few months now and love the show especially the ones with the educational aspects. This is the first comment I have left. I couldn’t resist – being a Canadian after all. Great show with the Great One – he is certainly an icon in Canada. You opened my eyes. I’ve resisted buying these types of wines for the same reasons you mentioned on the show – the preconception that these wines are probably more about the name than quality. Thanks for the frankness. I will not shy away from these types of wines anymore but will evaluate them objectively from now on as with any other wines. Love the show. Thanks. Mario

WOW !! What A Super show we have today, To have Wayne is an honor. Very honest guy. I see way he is “THE GREAT ONE”

Thanks Gary and Wayne !

QOTD: NO, they will not win.

QOTD: maybe, but who can afford the tickets prices? How much is too much?
Thanks for the great show. Saw the Oilers win in Edmonton. The best team ever.
How many Hall of Famers!? Keep up the quality and passion GV!

WHO CARES ABOUT THE YANKEES WHEN “THE GREAT ONE” IS IN THE HOUSE! WAYNE GRETZKY IS A CANADIAN TREASURE AND REMINISCENT OF THE OLD TIME PLAYERS WHO CARED MORE ABOUT THE REPUTATION OF THE GAME THAN THEMSELVES! HE GETS IT AND KNOWS THE GAME IS BIGGER THAN HE IS AND BECAUSE HE IS A GREAT PLAYER, HE KNOW HE HAS A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE A TREMENDOUS IMPACT ON THE GAME AND PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD! A GREAT AMBASSADOR FOR HOCKEY AND FOR CANADA!
WAYNE FOR PRIME MINISTER!
P.S. THE WINE IS GOOD TOO! JUST ANOTHER DEMENTION TO THE MAN, THE MYTH, THE LEGEND!

Never watched the show before, great job! Very informative. Both Gary and Wayne seem like truly honest people, it is refreshing to see.

I still sport the 99 Gretzky jersey at the garden – I can’t believe it has been 10 years Wayne!

Great show with the Great One! Props to Wayne for getting involved in a great cause.

QOTD: I wouldn’t bet against the Yankees, but I sure hope they don’t win the World Series. Go Angels!

Gary: Keep this angle going. I like where you have taken the show. Mixing it up and keeping it fresh. Informative, educational, hip with celebrities and wine/food guests…I think your building or branding an new market for wine. Congrat’s

Couldn’t believe it when I scrolled through my Facebook feed this morning that The Great One was going to be on. Now that’s a show!

QOTD: No, Yanks won’t take it. If they get blown out on opening day at their new stadium, there’s no hope.
