Funniest thing about this episode was the look on GVs face when he changed it up at the end to say that we are changing the hockey world. I laughed. But the corny joke and the look of satisfaction, like you just said the funniest thing in the world was priceless.
Good show. We could feel the brotherly love through the screen. Tough wines though. If you are 8 for 10 on Malbec, then is the delicious factor outshining the lack of complexity or is Malbec just an easy grape to grow and vinify?
QOTD1: I am back into hockey after my blackhawks have disappointed for so long, we had a great run this year with a young and talented team of future stars!! Ran into the buzzsaw of the yankeeske detroit redwings. Rocky Wertz was just the answer for us chicagoans. Young talent and winning is the only thing that gets nonhockey fans to be drawn to the sport… pure and simple.
QOTD2: I am a firm believer that sports = beer.

Fairly poor wine showing for this show. A little better directing of guests that come in and select wine at the store would help. I can’t stand hockey and never could but I grew up in the southwest and if it wasn’t football or baseball, we didn’t care about watching any other team sports. I like a Samuel Adams at the local Norfolk Tides games.

One other comment. Having met GV, he is short.

Regarding the height question Nadeau Brothers are probably around 6’2″

That was fun – but i would have preferred hearing the boys talk a little more – favorite teams, favorite players, impressions from this last season, thoughts on next season – another minute or two for each would have added some more hockey love.

QOTD 1 – love ice hockey. College and NHL – go Rangers and Cornell Big Red

QOTD 2 – depends on the other circumstances (where are we, what time is it)

Great show, GV, but don’t you dare talk trash about my hockey team! The Nordiques were a great team, I saw them beat the Devils a couple of times in the late 80’s (when I was about 8), and beat the Canadiens in the playoffs in overtime. We’re still hoping to get our team back here in Quebec City.

Which brings me to QOTD1: The league needs to get a team in Quebec City fast! The only reason I stopped paying attention is the lack of a local team.

QOTD2: A brew or a Sprite, coz that’s all they serve in arenas around here.

Good guests to have on after the stanley cup finals. Too bad the wine didnt show up as much, but it was cool they picked out the wines.

Must have been rough growing up with your brother beeing a cowboys fan!! Especially after super bowl XXX

QOTD 1: I live close to nashville and even though the predators have been here a while, I just havent got that in to hockey, until this years playoffs. Being a huge steelers fan, I had to route for the Pens! That alone made me a hockey fan! I cant wait until next season, and hope they come here and play the preds. But as far as other ways to get fans I just dont know. I see it being such a regional thing. With all the expansion teams now, maybe the young kids growing up with local teams will expand the NHL fan base? I may have been a hockey fan sooner if we would have had a team here when I was younger.

QOTD 2: I have only been to a few hockey games but during the finals this year, I was enjoying white wines. And I am still on the white wine kick as of late.

Jason

That was a really nice show guys, makes me wish I had a brother (not to dis my two sisters)
Also, funny side at 20:09 may be the first time ever that the guests spit and GV doesn’t!

QOTD1: I’ve never been into Hockey I guess because I don’t know that much bout it. I guess I’d enjoy it if I could watch it with someone who could explain the game as it was played…like I did for ladyParyb and football.

QOTD2: Since I don’t watch Hockey, I’ll go with Dallas Cowboys Football! At the stadium, it’s pretty much Miller Light, because it’s only 8 bucks instead of 10 like the Corona. If I’m at home though, Sierra Nevada Pale, or if it’s warm out, New Belgium’s Sunshine Wheat.

QOTD # 1 & 2…..what’s hockey?

Yo Guys, GOOOOOOOOOOOD Show !!!

qotd1: Used to be a Hockey Fanatic back in me younger days. Even had a
pair of season tickets for 3 seasons for the Cleveland Crusaders of the
defuncked WHA back in the 70’s. But kinda lost interest in the Sport….

qotd2: BEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRR !!!! 🙂

QOTD 1: I enjoy the occasional hockey game. I don’t like the fights, so getting rid of them would help me become a more regular fan. Hockey is such a great skill game. Why ruin it with thuggery?

QOTD 2: I drink Diet Coke at sporting events. I’d take a good hard cider if one were around. I’m not a beer drinker. Wine just doesn’t work at the actual game. I’ll drink wine if I’m catching the game at home, though.

Good show. I’ll definitely check the hockey zen tv show.I’ve tasted some great apple ice cider from the same province, Qc. And i’ve never heard about this apple ice wine. I really don’t think this ice wine is representative of the quality of the ice wine or cider we make here. We make pretty good vidal ice wine here. L’orpailleur is a very good one. La face cachée de la pomme(the hidden face of the apple) is a great apple ice wine, among others.

QOTD 1: If we would have playoffs like we had this year every year, i think that hockey would be much popular than it is now in the states. I’m a huuuuugggggeeee hockey fan!!

QOTD2: beer, ’cause that’s all they’ve got!! And i enjoy it. What i’ve had in the past also replacing beer and chips during a game on tv at home, espacially when the playoff season gets in the month of june, is vinho verde with olives. You can have almost as much as beer, it’s a bit fizzy and very refreshing and low in alcool. Not the expensive ones, the cheap ones but decent quality. 7 or 8 $
like Gazela

Solid Show GV, even though they were canadian, eh.

QOTD1: Go Red Wings!
QOTD2: Gin and Tonic!

Great to see some good Canadian boys on the show!!

QOTD 1 – N/A – huge Fan

2 – Beer of course!

Gary—

How can you have a hockey show without giving props to my PITTSBURGH PENGUINS??!! ;>) (I know how you feel about my STEELERS, but WOW)!

Pittsburgh: 2009 City of Champions!
STEELERS! (Super Bowl)
PENGUINS! (Stanley Cup)
PIRATES! Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh…they keep us humble.

Love hockey, especially the PENS!

PIRATES! (Uhhhhhhhh..

QOTD 1: Being from Canada originally, I love hockey. However, I now live in California and I don’t really think there’s much one can do to make it much more popular in the parts of the the USA where kids don’t grow up playing the game. It’s just not a part of the culture here. None of the best athletes play it as kids down here. I actually think the league needs to lose a bunch of teams in places like Pheonix and Florida. No one cares about the teams there. Move them either to Canada or the northeast/midwest of the USA. Bettman trying to keep the Coyotes in Pheonix is just stupid. Let ’em move to Hamilton. It’s only just. They stole them from Winnipeg in the first place.
QOTD 2: Beer. What else would you drink?

Go Sharks!

Beer.

Gary, why do you continue to have people on your show who don’t know jack about wine? Hearing two quiet guys who just go “meh” to every question of yours gets VERY boring. I love the show, but I think you’re better off sticking to guests who can hold their own when it comes to the vino. The college humor guys knew their wine better than these two canucks…

You had me at Mario Paint! As if I wasn’t already a fan! Almost married a girl from Maplewood, wish I had known back then that you were so close by.

Love it!

QOTD: #1) Even in south Louisiana, I’m a hockey fan. Ready for minor leagues to make their return here next season, predicted Pens in 6, but I’ll take it in 7.

#2) Beer, cold beer

wow GV, a couple more weeks and that interview with Katie Lee Joel might not have happened, or at least not in Mr. Joel’s house:

🙁

QOTD#1: The recent finals reminded me: get rid of the mindless brawling and cheap shots and the sport is gorgeous, fast and extremely exciting. The fighting makes a game slower than the last minute of a playoff basketball game which comes close to defining infinity it can last so long.

These guys were great for your show and you should have them on again,,maybe next time they can bring their father,,,who makes wine.

Good show, Gary! Forget what the haters say, I think it’s fine to have two seemingly good guys on the show who are passionate about hockey and enjoy wine even though they may not be sommeliers.

QOTD 1: Give me a National team in Portland, OR that I can support. I’ve always loved the Penguins, but it’s tough to stay an avid fan of a sport that’s not that embraced on the west coast, by National television, and when you have no local presence/team. Sure, if I had all the time in the world, but my jar is only this big and only allows this many rocks in it. (get that analogy)

QOTD2: Amstel Light or whatever is in the shorter line. Chimay at the bar.
