lines of the day – ‘this is like Cola in a three litre bottle on the bottom shelf…for 49c’ and ‘when’s the last time you hard cried…over sports?’

Surprisingly this is one of my favourite all-time episodes. GV coming out with a non-stop barrage of quality one-liners, a couple of laid back guests who are happy to let GV take all the limelight, and lots of sports-related asides. These sort of guests really work well with Gary as he’s helpful in developing their wine knowledge and enjoyment without making them feel stupid.

    QOTD 1: I’m not sure… maybe if I play NHL 2009 or something, coz I got into hockey in 2002 when I was playing that game, but fell off immediately after.
    QOTD 2: Flask of Laphroiag 15 YO, or for desperate times, a $10 stadium beer (I prefer the former rather than the latter)

    Major Pass sees another tour of duty. Oddly fascinated by watching the bookends swirl the sippy sips. Fun. Peace.

    QOTD#1 If I could see the puck on tv it would help. I’m not gonna put out a couple grand for a big screen HD tv at this point for Hockey. Maybe for tennis cause I can’t see the fuzzy ball sometimes.
    QOTD#2 I usually mix it up at big games. A little Cabernet, beer and a shot or two of some good scotch.
    Good show, not so good wines.

  • Great show, love the oddity guests and your reaction to bad wine.

    QOTD 1: I used to be bigger fan, had Ranger season tickets once in 1993. They didn’t make the play-offs. I did manage to sneak my way into game 7 1994 though. My answer is to make the season as 3 mini seasons, in a format that we have play-off hockey all year long. Mini play-off series in each of the first 2 mini-seasons, leading to placement in the final play-off. There is nothing like play-off hockey.
    QOTD 2: Coca-Cola

    Gary – that is one creaky chair you were sitting in today. I was concerned it was going to break when you leaned back at the end of the show.

    QOTD1: I live in DC and I have never been into hockey… UNTIL the Caps made the playoffs last year. I went to my 1st NHL game this fall and now I’m hooked!!! I ended up going to 4 games this year, including playoff game 2 vs Penguins when Ovechkin and Crosby each had hat tricks. An absolute INCREDIBLE game!!!!! Hockey is so exciting live, if you can just convince people to go to see a game, they will enjoy it

    QOTD2: The biggest beer they have. Although, my newest move has been drinking wine at pretty much every event possible. Recently I have drank wine at Richmond NASCAR race and the Phish concert in Camden, NJ.

    GV the wine tasting coach!

    QOTD 1 — loved it in the early 70s, haven’t been to a game since an exhibition in Orlando in 1990! I guess it would have to be more available and I would need more time!

    QOTD 2 — whatever draft there is

    O Canada!

    The canadian contingency representin’!

    Hey I’m from Québec, Canada, about a half hour from Cowansville…
    Too bad the apple wine sucked. Luckily we had to great chaps representing us.

    QOTD: Personally, I find most major sports, kinda like the music industry, have lost touch with the art of playing. The product seems so diluted in a sea of advertisement that I find it hard to appreciate pop culture for its lack of genuine enthusiasm. I always wonder if the players are working or playing…

    Ciao!

  • Great show Gary LOVED the random old school hockey name dropping. The Nordiques were killer in NHL 94 with Sakic, Sundin and Nolan on the top line.

    QOTD1 – Love the sport already but bring another team to Ontario
    QOTD2 – Beer!

    Keep it up, more hockey!

  • QOTD #1: I am a hockey fan but I’d be a much bigger one if we had an NHL team in Seattle

    QOTD #2: During the last hockey game I attended, the stadium was giving away free Budwieser energy drinks they were testing out. We had a lot of them. They tasted terrible but it was a great game. I’m going with that.

  • QOTD 1: I do enjoy hockey, but I don’t like it much on TV and going to games is out of control expensive. We get up to the Boston Garden occasionally but the overall experience isn’t great.

    QOTD 2: Guinness if they have it, otherwise water.

    I usually agree with Sam above. Sports are so advertised and the season is sooooo long. It’s still very expensive to go to a game. Parking is a ripoff, etc.etc. I could be home watching WLTV!

  • Slushpuppy

    I’m an old hockey fan since before the expansion when I think the game was alot more exciting. Especially the Chicago Blackhawks with ‘the golden jet’, Bobby Hull, Stan Miketa, and goalie, Glen Hall. Now that was HOCKEY! Oh yes I almost forgot to mention Nesterinko. Too bad we need passports to visit our friends to the north; may I see your papers please.
    Smell it first. TR

  • Jeff S.

    Woah woah woah!

    Maybe I haven’t been watching long enough… and… I mean… I probably would have guessed you as such… But, for me, it was a refreshing revalation to hear that you are big into fantasy sports, Gary. I mean, the wines were cool (that Malbec sounds good), but I was waiting for you to tell us the details of the trade.

    When are you starting up the WLTV Fantasy Football League?

    QOTD: I live real close to the HP Pavilion in San Jose, and have been to quite a few Sharks games over the years, but I would not consider myself a hockey fan. To me, the problem is that the badass action of live hockey gets lost in translation on TV. Maybe the digital transition will fix that…

    QOTD2: At the games, I drink plastic pints of Coors Light.

    Let’s Go Pens

    QTOD1: I’m a Hockey Fan, but the NHL needs to get off Versus and back onto ESPN even for less money so that the sport can reach more homes and grow. Also, they need to stop scheduling the Final up against the NBA Finals. Right now the NHL is going to lose that battle. I allow love watching the Olympics because of the Big Ice. That may be just because that it is something different rather than an Improvement for the NHL.

    QTOD2: I.C. Light

    QOTD#1: Stop all the fights. I dont understand it. I pretty much dislike hockey for that very reason….they are supposed to be adults on the ice, not little freakin kids.
    QOTD#2: I would love to have some cider if I went to a Hockey game.
    Thanks for the show!
