    Have you tried west Virginia wines before. I think the Meritage from Potomac Highland is pretty good.

    Hey Gary,

    Great show on the Ohio Wines. What is great about Ohio is its metroparks, stateparks, Buckeye football, and especially the people-like myself!!
    It’s great to see Ohio producing some good white wines. I’m anxious to see your show in the future on Ohio red wines. Looking forward to meeting you at the Vue restaurant in Hudson, Ohio on July 31st.

    QOTD: I like Ohio when they lose to the Huskers.

    Fun show. I’m wondering aloud – are there any reputable reds made in Ohio?

    Cedar Point and the dichotomy that is the conservative south and the liberal north in the state. Live here, and I have to say, I am a little worried about the red wine episode. Ohio does white much better than red, which is bad for me since I am much more of a red wine fan. I have only had one red from Ohio that I would buy if I saw it on the store shelf. Good luck Gary!

    qotd: I have a friend who works in Cincinnati, where she’s the only mexican there. She hates it. I’m glad I don’t live there. I do like the UM Ohio State rivalry. So Ohio’s got that. You can tell where everyone in the comments went to school almost.

    The best thing about Ohio is we are a state that allows you to ship wine in here! Plus the Bucks are awesome…go Gholsten and Nugent!

    QTD: Being a native Clevelander, there are many good things that could top anyone’s list – for Cleveland – reasonable living costs, very strong museum and arts programs, solid professional teams in baseball, football and basketball, very strong food scene, very strong parks system, outstanding medical systems (Clev, Clinic, University Hospitals, etc.),etc. For me personally, the ease in moving around town is my #1. Sure a 15 min.traffic jam gets on my nerves until I’m told that others experience that daily – including the weekends. On Friday during rush hour, I made it from the west side to the east side in a half hour … easy. A trip to a ballgame – 10 to 15 minutes for me – and I’m two cites away from Cleveland.

    It really shows me how shallow people are when they make the comment in this forum – The best thing about Ohio is I’m not living there. Hey folks, we’re all on the same team – the U.S. I personally wouldn’t trash your state – I don’t know your circumstances. Maybe you live where you do because your taking care of a family member. Or maybe you want to be close to your parents in their later years. Or maybe your work forced you to move. Or a special someone. I’m a city dweller but that doesn’t mean I’d trash Oaklahoma if you said you live in the rural wilderness there. I wouldn’t trash Phoenix if you lived there, even though I’d have a hardtime handling that extreme heat. Maybe you love the heat! I don’t know what your particular whereabouts have to offer. It’s like wine, to each his own. I might love that fruity, over oaked monster where you may say it’s not your cup of tea. Don’t trash us who like that style – just leave it that you like a different style better.
