Well you just tried Texas wines, so I’ll wait until you shown others. We don’t want to hog the show.

I have some Indiana wines on the way for you (one of them a Zinfandel I rather enjoy) from Oliver Winery. Just like little jonny H pointed out, we really shine with the icewine. Jonny, we should coordinate and send a bottle of Ohio and Indiana icewine when the time is ripe. That would be fun!

As someone who grew up in Wyoming, I gotta tell you that not a whole lot of things actually grow there (other than sagebrush). Yes, there are a few isolated spots with crops, but most of the ranchlands are devoted to livestock. That said, as far as I know, there is only one Wyoming winery (and it’s practically in Nebraska) — Table Mountain Vineyards. My hat is off to the valiant crew at TMV. Growing grapes in the harsh Wyoming climate must take tons of work!

I should be in Laramie to visit my family this summer, and I’ll see if I can find some TMV wine that I can send your way. At the very least, they should have an incredibly unique terroir.

I visited a Florida winery last month: Rosa Fiorelli. Wow. Different. Most of their stuff is made with muscadine grapes, a native vine. Wines made with it taste sweet and mediciny. Most wine drinkers will hate it. The best was probably a Blanc du Bois white (a hybrid created in Texas).

QOTD: Haven’t found an Indiana wine worth sending to the Thunder Show. First impressions Gary, first impression!

Gr8 show Gary,
Linden is regarded by some as being the best winery in VA (or more accurately, some folks think Jim Law is the best winemaker in VA). I just bought a bottle of that very PV last week. I might have to open it and drink it with some friends while we watch the Thunder show!
There’s a website that has a utility showing what states in which I’ve ridden my motorcycle. How ’bout a website to track and show from what states’ wine you’ve tasted? There’s a winery in every state, so there’re definite opportunities to explore. Here’s my list:
CA, WA, OR, NY (the big 4), CO, DE, FL, HI, IN, MD, MI, MO, NJ, NM, NC, OH, PA, RI, TN, TX, VA.
Inexplicably, I don’t recall having one from SC, KY, or VT because I’ve had opportunities to do so. Now I’m gonna have to seek out OK and AK.
Oh, and I have sent you wine. You tasted one of them on the Thunder show.

Nice, glad to hear you liked the PV!

QOTD: Damn, I wish I had known! I would’ve brought a bottle or 2 from Sakonnet Vineyards in Little Compton, RI. You reviewed the 2003 Estate Chard, but there’s a whole bunch of new releases! I’ll see what I can do….the Vidal blanc and the Port are fabulous! 🙂

QOTD: Ohhhh…yeah. Um. Wisconsin wines are just bad. And worse? They’re not really from Wisconsin most of the time — they take grapes from Washington or California or New York and bottle them up.

The only exception to the rule, and even then it’s a qualified exception, is Stone’s Throw Winery in Door County. They use California grapes, but the product isn’t bad, ultimately, and maybe worth a taste?

I like the Ceviche Sauv Blanc. Gotta be careful, though — some of the wines are truly atrocious.

QOTD: Wines are inbound from Georgia, baby! Get ready to have your mouth pucker on the swill that the 13th colony can produce in our 100 degree summer heat!

Super show, BTW. Good to get a little “46 states” variety. Keep it up!

GARY!! Good show…
I just watched episode 125!! Too funny!!

Try Firelands winery in Ohio. We had their Gewurztraminer and liked it a lot. It was reccomended at a local wine shop. We haven’t tried their other wines, though.

It is nice to see you trying wines from all over the country but I have to hope that the wine you tried from my hometown of MD (try lake linganore vineyard) isn’t the best we have to offer.

Great idea with trying all the different states, and lets keep it going until show 500.

Baja Mexico cabs are great QPR but the northern neck of Virginia is the shizzie for great stateside wine outside Napa, Ingleside makes some awesome Bordeaux blends and Cab Francs for around $25 as well as some lower priced crowd pleasing Kool aid stuff. I live in NC, home of the Scuppernong grape once upon a time made famous by The Virginia Dare winery of Ontario California. I would proudly send you a bottle of NC wine if I could find one that wasn’t literally shizzie like ol’ Maryland there.

QOTD: I’m in CA now, but I’m gonna try to contact one of the wineries in my home state of RI (maybe Newport Vineyards or Sakonnet Vineyards) to try to show you what Little Rhody can do!

I think there are some good Michigan wines….but I’m from Illinois could try some of those but I wouldn’t recommend them…too sweet no structure.

Good show nice traveling the country with you!
