I have been a fan of wine since I was 18 and a fan of and played hockey since I was very young, so I was happy to see them combined when Gary Vaynerchuk of tv.winelibrary.com interviewed The "Great One" about some wines he has put his name behind (episode 660). When GV was trying to get Gretsky to enjoy the nose, Gretzky offered what could become a classic quote, “You smell it, I’ll drink it."
As it turns out, GV gave the Cab 91 points as I recall. This fits with what my younger son told me. He ordered a bottle of Cab with 99 on the label and said that it was very good.
