    GREAT SHOW!!!! Close contest between him and you dad for best show of the year. I suggest a showdown with Wayne and Sasha when WG comes to your shop.

    #99 means everything to the sport of HOCKEY and I am stoked (but not at all surprised) to see WG protecting (and adding to) the brand.

    I wish my son had a chance to see special athletes like Lance Armstrong, Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Michael Jordan and WG dominate their sports. We were very fortunate to witness true excellence.

    Stock it!!!! I will buy it all!!!

    um, tripod? great footage but a little shaky. I get that’s your style, i think it’s time for a tiny bit more professionalism.

    Congrats Gary, you must be extremely proud, but you really said it best when you tweeted comparing lamaze class. A true man.

    I was just as excited as you were the entire video. You are definitely going were you envision when what you build is attracting great people like Wayne Gretzky and you seem to be a much bigger hockey fan than I thought. Who’s your Stanley Cup pick?

    BTW my favourite pair of dress pants are, in fact, Wayne Gretzky… his clothing line. He really does it all and extremely well.

    Your next great Canadian athlete on the show: Mike Weir. Ever try his wine? I haven’t, but I do love the Inniskillin and Jackson-Triggs you spoke of.

    QOTD: No way.

    Greatest guest ever. Fantastic show Gary. You showed some good hockey knowledge too.

    Greatest assist ever – Gretzky to Lemieux in the 1987 Canada Cup

    Cool show + guest. I’ve never met Mr. Gretsky, but was a big fan when he played. Seemed like he was a bit toasted for this interview though …

    QOTD: God, I hope not.

  • JC

    How can this be beat??

    I’ve got one word for you: Michael Air Jordan………but then again, it may be a tie because they’re both uncanny.

    Best guest yet bar none.

    (big ups to Brantford)

    What a tremendously gracious man, Wayne is! The GREAT ONE still certainly applies as a handle based on his personality and character. I’m so impressed that all of the proceeds are being used to do good work. Got to get my hands on these wines someday!

  • Brian Rossi

    HUUUUUUUGE Episode Gary, Wayne Gretzky is up there with Ruth, Tiger and Pele! Sounds like someone who has a sense of his brand and what it means to the marketplace. You’ll have to get some of his wines into the library. How can you betray your state by being a Ranger fan?

    QOTD: Yankees in 6 the slump will be over

  • John Rogers

    I was very surprised great show and very good wines. As stated, alot of times a famous person name is used but the product doesn’t live up to the hype.

    QOTD: I hope not the Yankees for a long time dominated.

  • Don

    THE GREAT ONE!!! Wow… what a surprise. Gary, it looked like you were having a blast with Gretzky on the Thunder Show, great stuff. I don’t know if it was the lighting but that Napa Cab had great dark color, I’m surprised you didn’t mention that.

    Question of the Day: No, the Yankees will not win the World Series.

  • the wine pixie

    How wonderful to see our Canadian rieslings again receiving good marks; Mr. Gretzky is clearly a man who is honest to a fault.

    The fact that he has his name in the wine industry for charity and still actually puts out a quality product makes a person wonder why one would ever spend their money on something as boring/inane as Yellowtail or Barefoot (I’m not exactly sure what the US $$ equivalents would be). More people should be so generous with their celebrity status.

    QOTD: I have no idea. I remember watching Wayne Gretzky play hockey on TV when I was a kid and that’s about as far as my knowledge of sports goes (even though Steve Nash is from the same town as me). Yankees? What sport is that?

    Greatest show of all time! The Great One is truly a Great Guy!
    QOTD: No, all that money does not always result in winning. The Yankees have no heart anymore, Jeter is the only true Yankee.

    Bear with me, I’ve got a lot of thoughts today.
    -Overall this was a great episode & a great guest. Lots of good hockey knowledge! I love football, but it was nice to switch it up for a change. He really seemed to not care much for smelling the wine, though.
    -AJ did a good job with the camera, but he’s no Mott.
    -Speaking of cameras, was this the flip cam? Something was different today: both the volume was softer than normal and the video stream not as smooth.
    -Was this the first episode where you swallowed every time?
    QOTD: I hope not, not a fan.

    Greatest guest ever! I’m an Angeleno, so Gretzky and 8/9/88 are very near and dear to my heart. I still remember the run in 1993, and hope he’s able to find success in the desert.

    QOTD: no.

    For me, this was the single greatest WLTV ever. As a Canadian lad, I idolized Wayne Gretzky though my formative years, and those feelings linger with me today. I watch Hockey Night in Canada with my small twin girls now, and wonder how they will remember hockey as adults. I also really apreciate your show and your efforts since I started watching a couple of years ago, (met you at SF #500). It was an almost indescribable pleasure to see him on your show. So thank you for the show. I look forward to buying a bottle of the Icewine. If I could get one autographed – that would be the bomb:)

    OK, enough fan-boy. You were dissing on my Canucks, Vaynerchuk! In 2004 we were one third period goal post from sending the Rangers to obscurity! (My second favorite player of all time is Pavel Bure). Keep it up and we’ll have to drop the gloves my friend:)
