Hope that everyone thats going on the Thunder Cruise has a blast. I hope you have one in 2010 cause Id love to make plans to go. Sad to see a poor effort overall but I wish those wineries the best in their future releases. QOTD: I wish them well, but I dont like any of the Mannings. I repect their skill, but enjoy watching them lose in the playoffs.

Alright…. so old post but just had to say that, being from Ohio and after seeing the Ohio episodes, my girlfriend and I were definitely interested in Kinkead. We just visited the winery for the release of their 06 reds. We ended up talking to Ron, the owner, and after mentioning that we had made it a quest to find the 05 petite verdot he told us that there may be a few bottles in Columbus… so we drove the 2.5 hours and yes.. there were a few bottles there. .. we bought them.. drove home and just finished the first. We are pleased and, especially after meeting and talking to the owner, are happy to support Kinkead as our home winery and are glad that your show introduced it to us. Also… we didn’t want to be lurking anymore.

QOTD: I don’t want to think about any Manning brothers right now because I’m so scarred from that LAST game.

I’m a giant fan, but Peyton still has to be anyone’s favorite Manning!!!! He’s pretty good. Mom may be the best of all, she predicted the Giant’s victory a year ahead of time…AMM

QOTD: As I am not a football fan AT ALL, Eli Manning has to be my favorite Manning as he was at Disneyland the last time I was there.

For Harry. From Nancy, Kinkead Ridge. Having also grown Pinot Noir in Oregon, I’ve learned every viticultural area has its own problems. Even California… Pierce’s disease, etc. France… occasional hail. South Africa… baboons. Northern Ohio… Asian lady beetles. Actually in SOUTHERN Ohio the biggest issue is frost, especially in the spring. Our ripening season in mid-September to late October is fantastic for our varietals. There’s a reason there’s only one “vintage of the century”; despite the fact France would like you to think there are more. I respect winemakers, like chefs, who can make the best out of any given vintage year (or disasters in a kitchen).

I was thinking about your statement that you expect to see great wine from all 50 states while watching the Israeli wine episode. Israel is blessed with zero rain (and few clouds) from April until October (it was considered a curse from God when it rained before the end of the holiday of Sukkot) which gives the grapes plenty of time to ripen and mature. One of the main problems facing Israeli winemakers is keeping the brix in check, and not allowing the grapes to be too ripe and fruity.
Growing up in Michigan, I imagine Ohio winemakers have some different issues. Massive thunderstorms dominate August, followed by more rain, wind and clouds through September and October. How do you expect winemakers to compete with, say California, given such a huge handicap?

QOTD: Archie. Took all those beatings in New Orleans and still raised three great kids!

I knew this kid named RJ Manning back in high school. But my favorite is Payton.

While I respect giving attention to the other 46, let’s get back to some serious wine!
QOTD – I am not really a fan of any of them. However, I would say that Archie is the patriarch and had a career of adversity with a lousy team. Therefore, I will vote for the dad!

QOTD: Archie was great since his college days, but his talent was not matched by his fellow teammates during his NFL career.

QOTD: No manning? is that a choice? I don’t know Cooper very well but he’s not all up in my grill with tv commercials and he’s not Eli…and he’s not archie who said his son wouldn’t go to a losing team when he was drafted by the chargers…so yeah…none or coop

Definitely the older brother, don’t like Eli cause I hate the giants, they beat my pats and not a big payton fan, again because i like the pats.

As for the wine, your experience with Ohio reds was similar to my experiences with wines outside the big four states, the reds are just not that good.

QOTD: Definitely Eli b/c that’s my 4 year old’s name. In fact, I picked the Giants to win the SB last year for the same reason. I have a history of picking winners when I use stupid logic. For example, the only two times I’ve ever won our NFL weekly pool were the time I did the WHOLE thing based upon which city I’d rather live in (for each matchup) and the time I picked which uniforms I liked better. Every time I actually try to use knowledge for my picks, I land on my butt. Too funny.
