qotd: I have a friend who works in Cincinnati, where she’s the only mexican there. She hates it. I’m glad I don’t live there. I do like the UM Ohio State rivalry. So Ohio’s got that. You can tell where everyone in the comments went to school almost.

Cedar Point and the dichotomy that is the conservative south and the liberal north in the state. Live here, and I have to say, I am a little worried about the red wine episode. Ohio does white much better than red, which is bad for me since I am much more of a red wine fan. I have only had one red from Ohio that I would buy if I saw it on the store shelf. Good luck Gary!

Fun show. I’m wondering aloud – are there any reputable reds made in Ohio?

Hey Gary,

Great show on the Ohio Wines. What is great about Ohio is its metroparks, stateparks, Buckeye football, and especially the people-like myself!!
It’s great to see Ohio producing some good white wines. I’m anxious to see your show in the future on Ohio red wines. Looking forward to meeting you at the Vue restaurant in Hudson, Ohio on July 31st.

Have you tried west Virginia wines before. I think the Meritage from Potomac Highland is pretty good.

Gary, how about stopping a bit north at the Connecticut wine trail? Some nice whites and a few producers make some good desert style wines.

QOTD: The Pencil Sharpener Museum? Thats all I got.

Just to clarify… we had only 48 cases of white Revelation because the frost last Easter took out 90% of our white grapes. I can only think that the Viognier/Roussanne blend should probably not have been shipped in the summer heat and bounced around by UPS… in 90 degree heat, four hours on a truck in Kentucky; 12 hours on a truck from Kentucky to New Jersey. Leaves Keasbey NJ at 4:14 AM, delivered at noon, 8 hours later. Here’s what the wine writer from the Columbus Dispatch said about the same wine, that I hand-delivered…

“A bargain southern Rhone-style white blend made from two-thirds viognier and one-third roussanne, the newest release from the Ohio River Valley shames countless more-expensive wines that seek what this one achieves: floral, honeysuckle scents married to a complex minerality with excellent acid balance and restrained alcohol. It will keep improving, so buy enough to sit on a few bottles.”

I understand that you are trying to bring awareness to these nontraditional wine producing areas, but the very average quality of these wines just showcases how far they have still to come. Maybe someday Ohio will produce great wines, but today is not that day. Best thing from Ohio: Jack Nicklaus, Worst: Ohio state football – I may gouge out my eyes if they play in another national championship.

What are the chances that GV has Laurello, John Christ, Wolf Creek, maybe even Ferrante on for the “red” show??

What do I love about Ohio? Toughy… especially as an Ohio-lifer. The changing of the seasons might be a stretch because I’m not the biggest fan of the winter. I’m thinking the chance to escape life and hit the Metroparks, the State Parks, or any of the natural wonders that are out there.

QOTD: Absolutely NOTHING! Buckeyes blow and the Gators own them in every sport. I’m guessing the NFL HOF is about it for me.

Gary: I truly hope, for your sake, that Danny Woodhead can rehab himself back into the Jets future. This guy is phenominal! So sorry to hear of his injury, but he will work hard to come back. The jets deserve him!

QOTD: Don’t know much about Ohio, but isn’t that where the NFL Hall of Fame is? You know the place where the JETS can’t get into anymore… ha ha ha
