I recently uncorked a bottle of Wayne Gretzky Estates 2006 Merlot.
This is not the Wayne Gretzky of wine. Its more like a useful 3rd line winger - the oenophilic equivalent of the journeyman winger - well prepared, professional, responsible but not flashy, and at $15.95 a reasonable Cap hit.
In addition to the Merlot, Wayne Gretzky Chardonnay is also available.
In typical Gretzky fashion Wayne is funneling a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the wines to the Wayne Gretzky Foundation that provides underprivileged youth with an opportunity to play hockey.
Too bad Wayner didn't get a little more creative when naming his wines. Whacky wine names like Fat Bastard, Goats do Roam or Cat's Pee on a Gooseberry Bush are all the rage. How about "215" in honour of his ridiculous 1985-86 point total, or "50 in 39" to commemorate his record for scoring 50 goals, "WWW" (Wayne's World Wine), or "Janet Juice" in honour of his wife's gambling habit.....suggestions welcome.
im not a wine drinker, but i know hockey and thats what he should stick to,,, good for him on donating some of the proceeds to his foundation,,,
