Oklahoma…makes wine? Now that’s a surprise! QOTD: The biggest surprise this year is how far the US has fallen … economy…inflation…OIL! Gas! the cost of living….it’s not one thing but it’s parts make the big-one!

Why does Texas not slide into the Gulf of Mexico? Because Oklahoma sucks.

Gary, Don’t forget the Road Warriors…greatest tag team of all time.

Despite the name which became awkward, I think the Twin Towers could have been one of the greatest tag teams of all time, but they really shined as two individual guys. Akeem (aka One Man Gang) and the Bog Boss Man could have been one of those great big man tag teams.

But because they weren’t around for long, I would have to go with the Road Warriors or the Dudley Boys. A match between these two at their prime would have been an epic fight.

QOTD – The world is full of so many surprises that it is hard to pick one. Each day brings surprises to my life and in the news. I guess that is what keeps things interesting. You could never predict the things that actually happen.

Would love to get my hands on a bottle or 12 of the chapel creek!

QOTD Finding out these sneakers at work ended up being Lebron James’!

It’s all about the Hart Foundation!

Special props to the Brain Busters, as well (Tully Blanchard and Arn Anderson).

I wonder what the Redlands Community College kids did right… or didn’t do wrong? I’d be fascinated to hear from the winemaker/teacher. Biggest shock or surprise? I guess I was floored when the Pats didn’t win the Super Bowl. 19-1 makes them the number one loser, to use a recent quote from Kobe Bryant.

QOTD: Finding out that turning 40 wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be.

Love my home state getting some pub… love it love it love. In related news, texas sucks and will get absolutely THROTTLED in Dallas this October… buncha teasips.

Thanks Gary.

QOTD: My two and a half year old niece is my favorite person I’ve ever met.

What about the Steiner Brothers?

And how about doing a Maryland wine show?

Great Unmentioned Tag Teams:

Legion of Doom
The Powers of Pain (Warlord and the Barbarian)
The Orient Express
Power and Glory (Paul Roma and Hercules)

….a lot of the other greats have already been mentioned in the comments.

if it wasn’t for all the ice storms, hail storms, tornadoes, backwards drinking and alcohol distribution laws, and general lack of a knowledgeable wine drinking public, OKlahoma prolly wouldn’t be a bad place to grow wine

oh, and the heat. and humidity. and….i’ll stop.

qotd: the fact that in addition to mid life crisis’s there are mid-mid-life crisis’s. who knew your mid-twenties would be so confusing? i’m either getting dumber or wiser, not sure which….

Gary,
This show was great. Very coincidental that i am going to Oklahoma for the 4th of July. I will make it a point to try some different wines when I am up there, especially the Chapel Creek. Keep up the good work, congrats on getting on Revision3!!!

For those of you anywhere near the Oklahoma City area, Sandhill and Chapel Creek are at a wine festival in south OKC at 104th and South Penn Ave, from 12 to 10 today. I just tried the Chapel Creek and it was very smooth start to finish! Great wine!

old school: The Valiant Brothers, Handsome Jimmy and Brother Luscious Johnny. how about Hawk & Animal – The Road Warriors under the direction of Paul Ellering as part of the fabled LoD!

QotD: had a guy i just knew would have massive post-op complications who sailed after beginning to get really ill. no explanation from my medicine background covers his tremendous convalescence.

here is the beginning of the petition for Chapel Creek @ the SF throw-down!

The biggest surprise I have had so far this year is I ACTUALLY did get married 🙂 I couldn’t be happier 🙂

I like the Canadian River Chardonnay from Oklahoma. My husband’s reserve unit is in OKC so I get a trip up there once a month! Can’t wait to go next time and try these wine. OKC has some good wine bars, we ate at Rococo’s on Penn Ave. Great restaurant try it out!!!

Biggest surprise of the year: accepting a job in public service rather than asset management. Who knew?

You need to do the Rhone Villages show. Southern Rhone, Gigondas, Lirac Vacqureyas,

Best tag team, Big John Stud and King Kong Bundy. With Bobby the Brain Hennan as the manager.

FanTAStic episode, GV! Yee-ha for the Community College Kids! (the CCK’s?).

QOTD: Biggest surprise: we’re moving to Ohio, close to Ashtabula county, where there are a bunch of wineries. Miss Vivian is inching her way closer and closer to the Wine Lib., state by state.

I’m dating myself but I would add Chief Jay Strongbow and high Chief Peter Mivea or perhaps his successor Jimmy Superfly Snooka as one of the greatest tagteams of all time.

Nice show, still not buying into any Sooner juice in the near future.
My three favs were:

The Steiners
The Heart Foundation, all three
APA

QOTD: The biggest suprise, finding out that “things”, (ie: wine, nice dinners, and other perks) really don’t make you happy if what you are doing to obtain said items isn’t where your heart is.

QOTD: 1st biggest surprise was to see that WLTV was doing a show on wines from my home state Oklahoma!!!!! 2nd biggest surprise, really thought the biggest damn surprise, THAT AN OKLAHOMA WINE SCORED 90+ POINTS ON WLTV!!!!!!!!!!! Surprised because I have tried many wines from Oklahoma and they are mostly very poor wines. The wine industry here is very much in the infant stage but, with each step making ground! Don’t think we will ever be known as a “wine state”, but would be great someday to know I can pick up a nice bottle of the home state vino and to be proud that it’s a nice wine!
