Wow, being from ohio I really enjoyed the show. Steubenville baby! Anyway learned about a few wineries that I wasn’t familiar with, even though I live in the Ohio river valley. I’ll definitely have to look up Kinkead.

QOTD: So many things to chose from. Lets go with Jim Tressel beating Michigan all the time.

QOTD- Don’t know anything about Ohio.

I don’t care for American wines at the moment to be honest but I still really enjoyed this show because while watching it I’ve been drinking 2000 Chateau Lynch-Moussas which I am Loving! haha

Nice one, Gary!
Remember what I wrote about that Irish wine- I’ll still send it if you want.

Ohio wines…can’t be any worse than Illinois wines. If you have some Michigan wines, how’s about given those a go? Maybe bust em’ both out when they head-to-head this season.

Nice show, keep the new areas comming. I have to agree with Mark Tolerico though, wines from these other areas are just overpriced for their quality. I made it by Linden Vineyards on the way back from a wedding to try the Petite Verdot that Gary was crazy about and there wines are some of the best I have had in VA. With that said the the price 28 bones for a above average wine is pushing it for me, good people though and I love supporting the growers/winemakers.

QOTD: The best thing about Ohio is how the college football world continues to think Ohio state is one of the top teams in the country and they vote them in the big game and they get their teeth knocked in by a SEC team. Two words Team Speed. For real though Cedar Point is the best park around.

I’m from Evansville IN, and I’m pretty sure all of my drinking water growing up came from the OHIO river which contained all the runoff from Ohio farming and toilet flushings. It has been medically proven that I’m missing one brain lobe, have one meter more small intestine and have 2 pancreases, five kidneys and a liver with a smiley face on it as a result. Oh well, someone loves me anyway.

I would generally avoid Ohio in most ways. Cleveland is like time traveling to me. None of these wines sounded appealing.

Gary good episode the last 2 wines sounded pretty legit.

QOTD: Maybe the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but really I’m not a fan of Ohio. Being a Michigander I suppose I have no other choice, but the state is just cornfields and strip-malls in my book.

Little German tip Gary, SpÃ¤tlese, has a long a, as in wait or gate, not the ahh sound, as in spot, that you’ve been using. It means “late harvest”, which probably contributes to the higher residual sugar.

Chris
QOTD: The Cincinnati airport is in Kentucky. WTF?
July 28, 2008

Rowland
yea… i thought that chair was wrong.
qotd. My favorite thing about Ohio is that, historically speaking, Ohio is the original wild west. When the settlers from the east coast first went west, they weren’t heading for Oregon or California, they settled the Ohio valley.

I think for wine to be successfully made in Ohio, and the other 46, they need to play up their geographical bonuses. They should take a page from NY. Grapes can be grown most anywhere in NY. but high quality wine grapes only grow where geography help to modify the climate, hence our AVA names; Hudson valley, Finger Lakes, Niagra, Long Island … So i wanna see Ohio River Red or some Lake Erie White. That goes for the rest of the 46.

QOTD: Pumpkin patches and donuts in the fall. Lived there as a kid, great harvest season in general.

While I enjoy your reviews of wines from the various states, I must admit that these four wines left me a little empty. Will anxiously await the reds. QOTD……………….To be honest, I can’t think of anything that I like about Ohio. But then again, I live in the DC area, and we have a very high opinion of ourselves.

Steve
Gary: good show. I am from VA and I have pretty much the same observations as you: VA wines are good, but not good values. With the $20 I have to spend on a tasty VA reserve chardonnay (Horton, Oasis, Naked Mountain, Chrysalis, Autumn Hill, Sharp Rocks, etc) I can buy 2 bottles of similarly-snappy Aussie or Cali wine. But there’s nothing like sipping the VA juice right there at the vineyard, with the lovely VA hills stretched before you, having just had a good confab with the wine maker. That’s what you’re paying for, not what’s in the bottle. QOTD: The best thing I’ve seen in Ohio is the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton.

Gary I haven’t watched many of your shows, ever since you failed to keep your personal promise to do a Master’s wine tasting, with some of the pro’s wine, Norman, Palmer, Els, etc. I am not into people who break promises. As for this show, I liked the fact that you are expanding the wine market for prople, outside what you sell. There is potential in these here states. Joel M

What was that famous line in When Harry Met Sally? “I’ll have what he’s having.” Wow, that’s loving what you do. Keep up the energy and a great showing for a state with absolutely little or no summer and brutal winters.

QOTD: I have traveled to Cleveland every six months for the past 15 years and will say the best thing about Ohio is it’s people especially at the Donnelley printing plant in Willard, OH. Go Tribe!

Cheers!

QOTD: Football’s Jim Brown, but he played before you were born.

I used to visit Cleveland with my family when our close family friends moved there from Orchard Park, NY. Can’t remember a lot since that was a long time ago.
July 28, 2008

Doug
QOTD – That the city of Cleveland changed its name from the original “Cleaveland” because the name was too long for the local newspaper.
July 28, 2008

Rossodio
QOTD: Upper Sandusky – population 6,533, the town where one set of my cousins and an uncle and aunt came from. I used to love hanging out with them at their house out in the middle of the farm lands and enjoying the quiet. Great memories with family from my childhood

Oh, and it’s an hour and a half from Sandusky, Ohio – the two towns aren’t related in any way.
July 28, 2008

Matthew Hale
I watched this show being filmed on upstream. Very fun to see it both ways.

QOTD: My favorite thing about Ohio is the roads. They must have high taxes in Ohio because the roads are very nice to drive on.

Little Jonny H
Kick Ass! I was so pumped up to watch this one. Ohio in the Hizzouse! Some friends and I just finished visiting a notable winery on the North coast and has a fantastic riesling and a white blend that kicked some A on the aromatics. However, I’m still waiting for a killer red made from Ohio grapes.. I hope you can find one for part two of the Ohio episodes!

QOTD: Being an Ohioan there’s a lot… but first is the football fans (at lest 80% of sports fanaticds’ favorite sport here is football). Second would have to be great bourbon and scotch prices!
July 28, 2008

Favorite MEMORY of Ohio (at least one of them): WMMS, the voice of the buzzard (ok, it’s been a loooooong time ago – early to mid ’70s) out of Cleveland.

Always like to learn something new about wine, and this show did just that. As I never drank a wine from Ohio, the show gave a good intro to the possibilities. And yes I’ve tasted baby powder in wine before. As I recall it was a Pikes Riesling – baby powder and mothballs, to be exact – yummy -NOT!

More shows on some of the other 46 would be great (I know you’ve done a few already).

Patrick SF
Great show which reminded me of my first exposure to wine back in 1990 while in college in Oxford, OH where a wine store had wine of month club. It opened my taste buds to new flavors in wine and was a great way to compare impressions with friends. There was a geography of wines class at the college (Miami University) that was always especially popular. QOTD The little college towns like Oxford and Gambier (Kenyon College) are very unique and quite a change of pace from California.

ScottS
O-H-I-O, Go Bucs!, Gary very cool doing wines from my home state. As you know been watching the show from Day 1. Need to give big ups to the best of Ohio. Here Goes. Best wine maker in the state is Andy Troutman of Troutman winery in Shreve, Oh. Bar none he is the rock star of Ohio. I have been to every winery in the state and he and his wines are No1 ( Just like the Buckeyes). Next big shout out the Maryanne Franz of the Cleveland Wine School. Gary you need to look her up in the future. She is the founder of the school, teaches the WSET program of which I hold Avanced Cert. Great show and thanks for the OHIO wines

QOPD: shoutouts to Case Western School of Medicine in Cleveland!

Gary! I dropped by my old apartment to pick up my mails (I’ve recently moved) and I was SO surprised to find the 4th generation wristband in the mail!!! I don’t even know how I qualified to get one but, thank you so much! When I got home after work today, I burnt my rice and set off the smoke alarm, then there was a 3 hour-long brown out. But, the wristband made my day!

I moved to Cleveland a year ago and I’m pretty embarrassed to say that I haven’t tried any wine from Ohio. I should get on it soon.

Good that you have your toys on the show. Even with wines brining no THUNDER and a heavy OAK MONSTER you can have fun and a great time.

QOTD: My favorite thing about Ohio is that it is a place I still need to visit. It good to also taste different countries every now and then.

Brad Coelho
My favorite thing about Ohio is my wife (Cleveland raised) & Lebron James of course, bringing some respect & passion back in the ‘Brown City.’ Much maligned but also much loved by those that have spent some time there…grows on you…like a fungus. Chagrin Falls, Lake Erie, Rock ‘n Roll nation & GREAT LAKES BREWERY is in the house! http://www.greatlakesbrewing.com/

You haven’t had a WORLD CLASS microbrew until you’d tipped back a Burning River a la Great Lakes.

Anyone that hates on Ohio is going to have to deal w/ me…and my wife!

Glad you dug the whites (save for the Slave-all blanc…hate that variety, wood ‘aint nothin’ but a make…d-up…uh-huh)

July 28, 2008

Jaime
I have been a long-time lurker, and this is my first comment.

Another great show as always. Gary appears to have taken a few lines of Coke before the show, haha. I think Gary is right that every state will eventually make excellent wines, but not every state will be able to grow the grapes they use, which may hurt the wine if it needs to be shipped from an area which is far from where it is being made.

QOTD: I don’t know much about Ohio. I have never been, but the best thing for Ohio for me was this girl I met in Germany who was from there. ;o)
July 28, 2008

DougO
Great show. I’m hoping for a show on Ohio reds.

Wine Not?
Great show, Gary! I’m from Michigan and we have the same issues with price points on our wines….very frustrating sometimes although I try to support local products!

So when are you doing a show on Michigan wines??????

QOTD: The best thing about Ohio is that they actually get the entire Mollydooker line of wines whereas Michigan does not (due to some stupid legislation, I guess)! The good news is that Toledo is only an hour and a half drive so I can stock up on all of the Molly I want. Thanks, Toledo!!!!!! Another great thing about Ohio? That you’re going there on Thursday! I’m making the 5 hour drive to experience the thunder in person!!!!

I basically grew up in Lakewood Ohio. I lived there from the 4th grade thru high school. It was a great place to live and grow up in. If the weather weren’t so bad UI may have stayed.

I think you know I’m from Ohio and you know what my favorite thing about the O-H-I-O is and that’s OHIO STATE FOOTBALL BABY!!

July 28, 2008

DAve A
very good show.
QOTD: Ohio? I’m from ohio. FROM is the key word, like most would say – a good thing is being FROM ohio, otherwise that means you are still stuck there. Pumpkin fields, orchards of green apples, Canton Football Hall of Fame, Cleveland R&R Hall of Fame, Columbus, Cincinnati, Columbiana, Toledo. wow.
The most I like about Ohio – my parents, they still live there.

Good show. HEY, WE ARE OVER HERE!!! Don’t look to your right – Ustream monitor should be next to MOTT, so at least we think you are looking at US! smile. HEY!
smile.

In response to the point about wine being over priced from newer vineyards in areas without the big infrastructure, are we as local consumers expected to bear the extra cost of getting these “good” local wineries up and running? I live in Virginia and when I first moved here I felt that the wines were over- priced but coming from Florida where wine is wretched, I wasn’t sure. I know that I can go to the local wine store and pick up a bottle around $10-$15 that is better than some of the local guys $28 bottle. Personally I am willing to pay the extra knowing that it’s local and consider it an investment, but will the prices come down when they become popular or because the demand is higher will prices go up?

QOTD: I have only ever driven through Ohio so I have nothing.

I’ve been a fan of Kinkead Ridge estate wines for some time. If you check out their web site, you will see that the 2006 Kinkead Ridge Viognier/Roussanne won a gold medal at the American Wine Society competition. The 2007 white Revelation does not have any Vidal Blanc, and it has no residual sugar, so I don’t understand some of your comments.

Hey Gary –

Good to see you paying some homage to the other 46 again. Bron bron is the man and I can’t wait for the Olympics to start and watch him dominate again.

But I really think you need to do a tasting of NC wines again. Your last NC episode wasn’t really exemplary of the best in our state. Childress is definately good but you should try some of the other producers who are well-established like Shelton, Raylen, Biltmore, Westbend…or the up and coming McRitchie. Hit me up and I can definately put you in contact with some of these folks.

Gary I am not surprised that slowly good wines are popping up all over this country. I hope sooner rather then later we get those world class wines you mentioned. As far as my favorite thing about Ohio is Skyline Chili and Chef Michael Symon.

Good show, the midwest is doing pretty well with wine, I’ve had Kentucky wine that showed potential, and some Illinois wines are good. I’m not usually digging any of the hybrids, you should go into that in another show.

You know that mott outta find a way to dub in “thunder” sounds when you get excited about a new wine and it starts bringing heat….. I just need some sound effects…. maybe also an OAK Monster creature that comes in and terrorizes your store whenever oak shows up too much and you can go tackle him and kick his %$#@@

haha having fun these days… peace keep up the fun and good work. I’m working at a wine store and finally have accelerated my tasting per day efforts; so, Gary, I’m comin’ after ya!! sure, your laughing now, but in all seriousness, you need to come to NOLA (new orleans, Louisiana) and drink burgundy with my crew. we put down ch. montrachet like it’s weebie’s crystal or whatev. p’diddy’s on these days and it’s not cause were crazy, it’s just cause we have a passion for the region and know more than most and appreciate people like Allen more than parker…… but anyhoot… This might be the longest drawn out comment ever.. .so , go do your thing.

I was pleasantly surprised to see you reviewing Ohio wines on today’s show. I worked at an Ohio winery called Chalet Debonne
for 6 years through high school and summers home from college. It’s only a few miles away from Harpersfield winery.
I’ve been to Harpersfield winery on several occasions and I’ve always enjoyed their white wines. Though, I wish they would
have sent you the Riesling from there as I think it’s much better (my palate).

Anyway, it was awesome to see my hometown represented on the thunder show!
July 29, 2008

adam
the fact that ohio is a franchise state gives it a wide diversity of available wines. No price games from the big guys, small artisan producers thrive here, and … U of Michigan is only 45 minutes away!!!

See you Thursday

zac weiss
QOTD: Oberlin College. Because it’s the only thing I know about in Ohio.

By the by, I bet there’s a way you can set up Mott’s camera as the webcam on your computer.

Then you could get a little lcd screen you’d use as a ticker on the bottom of the screen and answer pertinent questions on air. Then you’d get that big screen whatsisname got for campaign coverage on… what was it, msnbc? and have winepedia whishing and wooshing to the appropriate pages behind you… Just a TINY little nudge and look what your show could become!

Seriously though, keep rockin it. At the level you’re doing it now, I don’t mind the head turning, but it would probably be much better for you (and your poor neck!) if you managed to put the camera for the live show more or less at the same angle as Mott’s. You’ve been talking about changing angles for a looooooong time now…

Eric
Gary, two very popular vineyards in Northeast Ohio are DebonnÃ© and Ferrante. I personally prefer DebonnÃ©, especially their Rieslings. You should really check them out. Ohio vineyards used to be major US producers prior to the Civil War, prohibition and the growth of vineyards in California, which all led to the demise of many wineries. Ohio has a rich tradition of wine-making and really should be considered “the other-one” and not one of the other 46.

I have become familiar with Kinkead Ridge wines since their first vintage in 2002? There wines typically benefit from a little bottle aging. Unfortunately small wineries often can not afford to hold onto their wines long enough. I recently tried four vintages of the Viogner Rousanne and they had truly mellowed with age. All were good, but the ones with two to three years age were the best.

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.

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.”

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!

QTD: Being a native Clevelander, there are many good things that could top anyone’s list – for Cleveland – reasonable living costs, very strong museum and arts programs, solid professional teams in baseball, football and basketball, very strong food scene, very strong parks system, outstanding medical systems (Clev, Clinic, University Hospitals, etc.),etc. For me personally, the ease in moving around town is my #1. Sure a 15 min.traffic jam gets on my nerves until I’m told that others experience that daily – including the weekends. On Friday during rush hour, I made it from the west side to the east side in a half hour … easy. A trip to a ballgame – 10 to 15 minutes for me – and I’m two cites away from Cleveland.

It really shows me how shallow people are when they make the comment in this forum – The best thing about Ohio is I’m not living there. Hey folks, we’re all on the same team – the U.S. I personally wouldn’t trash your state – I don’t know your circumstances. Maybe you live where you do because your taking care of a family member. Or maybe you want to be close to your parents in their later years. Or maybe your work forced you to move. Or a special someone. I’m a city dweller but that doesn’t mean I’d trash Oaklahoma if you said you live in the rural wilderness there. I wouldn’t trash Phoenix if you lived there, even though I’d have a hardtime handling that extreme heat. Maybe you love the heat! I don’t know what your particular whereabouts have to offer. It’s like wine, to each his own. I might love that fruity, over oaked monster where you may say it’s not your cup of tea. Don’t trash us who like that style – just leave it that you like a different style better.

Great show today. I live in Ohio, and we have a little wine festival up here at a great place called the Fraze Pavilion, so my answer to the QOTD is the Fraze Pavilion. Don’t listen to the UM grad. Ohio is more than the Buckeyes, though we love them

Kinkead Ridge make very solid wines, Harmony Hills blows the big one, Harpersfield has a Chard that is so close to white Burgundy called St. Vincent. I could list like 20 more whites that rock, can’t wait to see what you got for the reds.

Thanks Gary!

QOTD: My favorite thing about Ohio.
Oh my. I grew up in Michigan. I lived in Pittsburgh. The anti-ohio sentiment runs VERY high in both those places and I have been steeped in such truth. However: My family has it’s roots in the central plains. My dear Grandma whom I love very much and am completely in awe of is originally from Mt. Victory Ohio where she lived until she got married to my grandfather (whom I didn’t have the opportunity to get to know very well, unfortunately) after the war.

Other than that: NOTHING. Ohio SUCKS.

Go Wolverines.

Great Show. First time posting.

I’m sure you’re tired of people complaining about you looking at your computer during the episodes. If you tape several back to back, it might be worthwhile to move your computer so that it sits closer to the WLTV camera so that when you look at the computer it’s not so jarring.

QOTD Ocho Sinco, Houshmanzadah, Derek Anderson are the reasons Ohio should love Oregon State University! Also Ohio is the home of Cincinnati Milacron, the last US manufacturer of Plastic Injection Molding machines. Which I sell and which make the Supreme Corq plastic wine cork, as well as Nike shoe parts,
Boeing airplane parts, Truck parts, etc. So I love Ohio the home of the other OSU.

Ohio wine I am not so sure of.

wow. the throw to my little pony was amazing… totally unexpected and hilarious. We need to get a teddy ruxbin on the show. Perhaps replace the tape he comes with with some kind of oak monster “eeghghghghghghghghghgh” sound.

QOTD: favorite thing about Ohio – the overwhelmingly catchy cheer, “What’s round on the ends and high in the middle? Ohio!” That, and the tradition of burying ohio natives with a buckeye in their pocket. We buried my grandfather that way (who was a monumental player in brining world class wine and beer to Ohio from the 1950s through the 1980s.) Jack Huebner, hell of a guy. Cheers Buckeyes.

I’m glad to see you doing shows on “the other 46″.

I’ve been seeking out wines from the other states because I’ve gotten tired of offerings from California (although admittedly Oregon and Washington still rank highly with me.)

But, for example, did you know that before prohibition Missouri was the nation’s largest wine producing state? There are actually several wineries that have some good stuff there. Mount Pleasant, and Montelle to name a few. You should check them out sometime…

For that matter, it would only take less than 2 months worth of showes to do a 50 state tour…

QOTD: Clearly Cedar Point… nothing to do with wine, everything to do with rollercoasters..! GV – Do you ever organize what you are tasting by sugar content? It seems that you go back and forth between dryer and sweeter wines rather than driest to sweetest like I’ve been taught in the past, and I wonder if that affects your ratings…

I have not had very many Ohio wines (one, to be exact) so I’m excited to go out & find some. Gary, thanks for doing the Ohio show & I can’t wait for the “red episode”. Keep up the great work!

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.

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,

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

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!

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…

The wines here are not my favorites due to the climate unless you like the sweeter wines. Best Ohio dry wine to date is St. Josephs Pinot Noir from Thompson, OH. A multiple medal winner in CA competitions. Have fun in Hudson Friday night.

Never been to Ohio, but I would say my favorite thing related to Ohio would be the ESPN commericials where they slap buck-eye stickers on the helmets.

As for wines from the other 46 states, my wife and I have found that when we buy local states it seems as if the reds are never as good as the whites. So I’m interested in watching the Ohio show on reds to see what you think of them.

QOTD – I was born in Ohio, but only lived there for a few years as a child. Therefore, I love the state for being the place where I was born. This made me a massive Cincinnati Reds fan, which was great in the 70s and for one season since then (they swept the 90 World Series!).

Despite my ingrained aversion to anything from certain areas of Ohio, like Columbus (its a college thing), some of the people I have admired most come from Ohio. BUt I still won’t touch a buck-eyed pea.

Just to clarify… it’s Kinkead Ridge Revelation, not Revolution. Also, there is no Vidal Blanc in the blend. It’s predominantly Roussanne. We only grow vinifera. There is no residual sugar in this wine; you might be tasting the high alcohol content, 14.8%. Tiny production due to the frost of Easter 2007. I love the mouth feel of this wine. And “diaper” in the Viognier/Roussanne? Hmmm. This was a gold medal wine at American Wine Society.

I have to say Gary; most of the other 46 states are going to be too terrified to send you wine after the reviews of Ohio and Maryland!

And now for the good news; our web site got four times more hits than it ever has after your show! So I think a lot of people out there are watching your video blog.

I’m glad I sent you a selection. Wish you had reviewed the 2005 Cabernet Franc and 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon we sent. Keep an eye on us. The 2007 vintage was hot and dry and those wines will be high in alcohol, like California blockbusters.
