My favorite manning is LSU AND UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA!!!!!!!! GO BUCKED EYES

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…

NICE My Little Pony!!!

Never been to Ohio, but it sounds like Ohayo! (good morning! in Japanese) :0

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!

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!!!

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..

aka Mike in Nebraska

QOTD: The fact that OHIO will be a BLUE STATE for OBAMA in November (please)!!

QOTD: I have to say nothing….maybe Lebron is the best thing the state has to offer

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!!

QOTD: Watching Ohio State get the crap kicked out of them at Beaver Stadium by my beloved Nittany Lions!!!!

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…

QOTD – Nothing!!

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!!!

QOTD: my dog is from Ohio, so that is my favorite!

QOTD: Ohio is a GREAT place to live and raise a family which would be my favorite thing. With everyone else dying for fresh water, Ohio will be sitting pretty as global warming makes the South & West less desirable in the future.

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: Nick Mangold (Center for the Jets). Very nice parents in that live here in Centerville.

Glad to say you already got your 250.

QOTD, nothing that I can think of really!

QOTD: NOTHING!!!

Not familiar with any of those wines.
Agree with you that eventually, we will have good wines from the majority of the 50 states.

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!).

It’s great to see wine from the “other 46″….Scary Oak Monster moment. And that diaper/ baby powder/ olive oil nose sounds a bit frightening to me. Eek!

QOTD: Probably my friend Lindsay- she’s from Ohio.

qotd I LIKE THE GREAT PEOPLE FROM OHIO

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.

I have to add my vote into rethinking the ustream – it’s like having a conversation with someone who’s also on the phone – not nearly as good as having their full attention. Just my 2 cents.

QOTD: My favorite thing about OH is visiting my bud in Cleveland and catching up on old times — over some good wine and beers.

Great show Gary. I am a long time lurker and first time commenter…QOTD My favorite thing about OH is Dennise Kucinich.
