    Great show GaryV and WayneG. I think it was great that Wayne was able to take pride in his wines. He may not like some as much as others, heh, but it’s good that he appreciates his product, and doing it for the right reasons. I am looking to be able to sample some of these wines, and you got me intrigued about the cab!
    *side note* very hard to hear, i agree with the mic problems needing to be fixed

    Qotd: Not this year.

    Glad you’re getting to live out your dreams Gary. Good show.
    I’m glad to see Gretzky is using his fame for good causes, and will keep an eye out for his wines.

  • Sandeep

    I have so much love for this ep, that I had to pop the comment cherry.

    The Canadian connection in general is usually enough, but you’ve got #99 (the G.O.A.T.) and a shout out for Steve Nash. There’s an inside glimpse to the Gretzky home, a big win for Niagara wines… it’s just too much.

    I’ve been watching for a while, and won’t stop any time soon. This episode was awesome, and in case Wayne’s reading this… you are the man. Good luck with the wines and I’ll keep an eye peeled at the LCBO.

    Thanks from Toronto.

  • Christopher Scoggin

    It will probably get me banned from WLTV 😉 but I don’t like or watch sports. As such sports stars hold no special place for me so Mr Gretzky is just a rich guy who got into wine. What makes this episode so cool is that he obviously took this very seriously and put together a great team and product. Bravo Mr Gretzky. If these get US distribution I will have to try and get the Riesling (the Cab is out of my price range).

    QOTD: As above I don’t follow sports so I have no idea.

  • Congrats on such a distinguished guest.

    Thanks for always being real, and not being afraid to tell the bold truth to “The Great One” to his face. That fact strengthens my trust in you as a critic

  • Wow! Just had to call over my 15 year old goalie son to hear The Great One wax lyrical on the importance of goalies to the team…no surprise, Marlowe was as interested in the wine as the comments!(Me too! Let me at that Cab!) Thrilled to know Wayne is involved in wines for such a purposeful cause- maybe he’ll have to work up his own hockey wine vocab…slap-shot zing, locker room mustiness, sweaty glove acidity, hint of Gretsky! Love that Gretsky is still a gentleman. May his legend live on! Thanks Gary!

    Despite the fact that, oh those many years ago, the Great One and his Edmonton Oilers used to destroy my Vancouver Canucks, I still respect Wayne immensely. Absolutely great show!

    Gretz buzzed and a with a belly, makes me feel good about myself :).

    I’m a huge hockey fan, and Gretz changed the game and gave us so many great memories. Cool seeing you on GV’s show.

    Gary,

    Great show. You have raised the level of your guests by leaps and bounds. Well done.

    Kudos to Wayne for a nice selection of wines and much success with your foundation.

    Go Rangers……..I haven’t watched much hockey since Wayne retired, but have always been a Rangers fan.

    QOTD: Yes, I think they will turn things around once A-rod returns and the pitching staff gets there feet on the ground.

  • Another classic episode, loved “The Great One.” Like you I’m surprised that the wines were that good. Not just another rich guy that starts making vino with his name on it.

  • Paul

    Great! I recommend you invest in boom mic.

  • QOTD: No, I don’t think the Yanks will win, unfortunately I don’t think my Red Sox will win either though.

  • Brian Smith

    How Awesome is that??? Wow great show. Wayne thanks for coming on the show, it was a pleasure to watch. I am definitely interested in trying your wines, the fact that a portion of the money goes to your foundation is “Icing” on the cake.

    Wayne, your labels are very classy. We like.

    Waynernation. It’s right next door to the Vaynernation.

    QOTD: No world series for the Yanks. Bad karma.

  • Gary, this is so fantastic, as your star rises so does the quality of your guests. I’m a huge fan of #99 and to answer his question, there’s no f&*@ing way George Steinbrenner sees another ring! At least that’s my hope. Go Red Sox!!

    That was fun! It’d be great to try those wines. I’m also impressed with his foundation work.
    Wayne is very soft spoken – or at least in comparison to Gary!

    QOTD: No
