We all know that since he hung up the skates as the best hockey player in the world, Wayne Gretzky has been keeping busy, especially in the wine business. 

However, the Great One admitted to The Athletic that he is not a great connoisseur, and recalled a hilarious story from the time he attended a wine party and got everyone to judge him before of what he has to say about the tasting process. 

“So, I’ve got a friend who’s a member of a wine club and they meet once a month and everybody brings a bottle of wine or two. Usually, there are between six and eight guys who go to it. My buddy had been telling me, “You gotta go to this, you gotta go,” and finally, one day, I said, “OK, I’ll try it.”
So, we’re all having dinner and they’re trying all these different wines. It was about a glass of wine out of every bottle for everyone there. For each bottle, they would say, “Oh, we’re going to try this one now. It’s a $1,200 bottle. Then we’re going to try this one, it’s $3,000 a bottle.” By the time we got to the fifth or sixth bottle, I said, “Can I ask you guys something?” They said, “What?” I said, “It doesn’t matter what you’re drinking now. After you’ve had four or five glasses, it doesn’t matter. Why didn’t you pour the best stuff first?” (/Laughs/) By the fourth glass, you’re not getting to appreciate how great the wine is that you’re trying to tell everybody about.
That was the last time I got invited to that dinner.”

Gretzky is so funny! Please host a party, Wayne and let us attend and try the expensive bottles first!
