I drove through downtown Cincinnati one night on very little sleep – having never been there, it turned out to be the gem of my road trip. I love it when a city is completely empty at night yet ALL the lights are on in the streets.

Keep bringin’ the thunder, Gary!!!

Great show on Ohio wines – and I didn’t even send them to you!!
I must say that the concentration on Ohio River Valley wines was a little annoying. Harpersfield is in Geneva, OH, but it is the Grand River Valley and there are several interesting wineries in that area. Harpersfield is one of the better ones as is St. Joseph and South River. I’ve had the Harpersfield Pinot Gris and it is decent, but they have several Chardonnays that are quite serviceable as well as some dry Alsatian-like Rieslings that are good as well.

As for SRP in Ohio, that’s it – you cannot buy any wine at a discount other than a 10% reduction for case purchases in Ohio because of our stupid, archaic wine and liquor laws which have a mandatory mark-up to a “state minimum” retail price. That’s one of the many reasons I buy so much wine from the Wine Library!

QOTD: Gee, as a resident Buckeye, I am just a tad biased. But I will go with Cleveland and especially the Indians, Cavs and Browns as among my favorite Ohio things. Oh, yeah, and the great cost of living, and the Cleveland Orchestra, and Cedar Point and the Lake Erie islands, and…

O – H – I – O !!!! Hard to sum up what I love about Ohio seeing that I was born there, went to college there (go Bobcats!) and currently reside there. So asking what’s my favorite thing in Ohio is like asking what’s your favorite thing in the world! Hmm…

Thanks for featuring Ohio wines!!

My favorite think about Ohio is Cleveland. The QPR for those those wine does no seem to balance with me. I can think of a lot of wines I’d rather have for 15 clams. Anyway.. That looking at the computer camera is a bit odd.. Maybe try putting up where Mott is filming you? I donno..

QOTD: NOT Vernon Gholston! Even Mike Vrabel is better, and he’s pushing 65, right? Also, Cedar Point Park is awesome as well…17 rollercoasters!!!

QOTD: My favorite thing about Ohio has to be Chrissie Hynde from The Pretenders. In fact, Ohio probably has more memorable rock’n roll acts than any other state. (I may be given to hyperbole.)

I’m next door in Indiana and the wine industry is getting some footing here as well (still smallish compared to the Buckeye State). Purdue University is really pivotal in our state’s wine grape production — they’re great people. Wondering if you have or would consider doing a show on norton/cynthiana varietals. Some producers in Indiana, Illinois and Ohio are making good wines from this grape and, of course, Missouri and Virginia already have an established rep. — America’s native Cab!

Great show as always!

Gary,

A show about Ohio? Enough making fun of Tennessee goobers – time to crack back on the land of my people.

Q. What’s the difference between a good Ohio wine and Bigfoot?

A. During one’s lifetime, one is likely to see Bigfoot.

For my money, the three best Ohio wines are (in no particular order) :

1. Markko Chardonnay

b. St. Joseph Pinot Noir

III. Some red from Laurello, but I drank it so long ago I can’t remember which one…

Regards,

The FAA Makes Me Drink

Born and raised and STILL stuck here in Ohio

P.S. The best thing about Ohio is seeing it in your rear view mirror…

Hopefully my favorite thing will be the wine. How many wineries are there that are currently on the market or will be within three years?

QOTD: a strip show in Toledo starring Alexandra the Great 48 (nothing more need be said). I was 15 at the time. She was very impressive.

QOTD: Only because it’s so easy for me… my wife is from Ohio.

I love the idea of have a live broadcast on ustream… but it’s getting a bit out of hand. Moving your chair over there, GV? Really? Looking at that camera, spitting for that camera… that’s all fine. But can’t you at least stay in the frame of the main camera?

QOTD: I’m going to Kings Island in Ohio this weekend (from Indianapolis where I live) and I’m guessing THAT will be my favorite thing about Ohio!

Hey Gary,

One of your oldest and deepest lurkers here (been watching for the past 2 years). I’m originally from Ohio and have tasted wine at all the wineries in the Grand River Valley so I couldn’t resist chiming in.

QOTD: Obviously my family, but wine-wise it has to be the world class values in Ohio ice wines and ice style wines.

Hope you’re tasting some Cab. Francs from GRV tomorrow. Laurello’s is super for the price.

QOTD: Oh wow!! Friends and family and making memories from childhood through the present—Rocky Colavito, Euclid Beach, playing softball in Forest Hills Park (meeting my husband at 3rd base—I played 3rd and he was the 3B coach), Fake Family parties (a story in itself), and on and on. Born and raised in Cleveland. Haven’t lived there since 1979, but Cleveland is still my 2nd home. Matter of fact, I was tasting at Harpersfield Winery with some of my favorite folks just two weeks ago. Shout out to OHIO!!
