Just watched this episode on Oklahoma wines, thought I’d give you a heads up on another fantastic Oklahoma wine. Cynthiana from Stone Bluff Cellars is one of the best wines I have ever tasted, and you guessed it, right at $15 a bottle.

    Great show! Way to go CCKC. (Community College Kid Crew).

    QOTD: On a sad note, I am surprised how fast the economy has gone in the dump and the gas prices have gone so high 🙁

    QOTD: Toured some of the CT wineries this weekend and was definitely surprised by the caliber of these places (I was expecting a shack with a more “Ma’ and Pa’ feel). The quality of the wines was decent (lots of Chard) but I was very excited to see many of them going un-oaked.

  • I’m not sure whether to give you points for remembering that I brought the Oklahoma wine, or deduct points for you not being able to recall my freakin’ NAME. Ooohhh, Mr. Vaynerchuk. Good thing you’re such a likable fellow, and I’m such a good friend…. 😉 you know I gotta bust your chops on this one!

    QOTD: The biggest surprise that I’ve had this year is that time on WLTV when Gary Vaynerchuk actually forgot my name. Yeah, I definitely did NOT see that coming. 😉

  • Biggest surprise this year? Moving to Wisconsin! Thank goodness my boss is cool and will let me telecommute. . . because I’m not going for my job! Interesting tidbit though: there are 46 wineries in Wisconsin. Can’t wait to see what they have to offer. Maybe you should do a Wisconsin show!

    Gary, how could you not add the rockers to the list of best tag teams of all time? I mean, they were awesome before Shawn Micheals turned into a douche.

    Anyways, I’m from Oklahoma so this is my favorite episode now! I’ve tasted a few 80 ish point wines from Oklahoma. Quite a few not so great as well. I live in San Francisco now (you may remember signing a bottle of beringer white zin). Anyways, i hope to make it to the 500th episode party. Flying to OK next week, I’ll try to pick up a few bottles of the Chapel Creek to bring back for the party!!

    I agree with Oregon Jim – Suspicious of Oklahoma Meritage. Gary, if it reminds you of wash state cab/merlot, maybe it is wash state cab/merlot grapes. Please investigate the source of the grapes – a road trip is in order.

    Biggest shock this year – The Giants won the super bowl – that’s like Oklahoma Meritage being better than 90% of west coast $20 meritage’s.

    Cool show!
    Would love to get my hands on some of that meritage!
    QOTD – My daughter selecting the University of Vermont to attend college was one of the biggest surprises of the year for me. Also – Eli Manning driving down the field in the final minutes was a shick, but not a pleasant one!
