    I’m glad to see you doing shows on “the other 46”.

    I’ve been seeking out wines from the other states because I’ve gotten tired of offerings from California (although admittedly Oregon and Washington still rank highly with me.)

    But, for example, did you know that before prohibition Missouri was the nation’s largest wine producing state? There are actually several wineries that have some good stuff there. Mount Pleasant, and Montelle to name a few. You should check them out sometime…

    For that matter, it would only take less than 2 months worth of showes to do a 50 state tour…

    I give today’s Oak Monster a 7. You’ve done better, but you meant in and were bringing your own OM thunder.

    My favorite thing about Ohio is that most of my family lives there.

    QOTD: Clearly Cedar Point… nothing to do with wine, everything to do with rollercoasters..! GV – Do you ever organize what you are tasting by sugar content? It seems that you go back and forth between dryer and sweeter wines rather than driest to sweetest like I’ve been taught in the past, and I wonder if that affects your ratings…

    Calm down

    I don’t think I can watch your show if it goes on like this.
    I can feel no real love or interest in wine… I’m sorry.

    to clarify….
    I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings. I’m from europe and I’m just interested in wine. The show is just getting more and more like an typical american TV show.

    QOTD: Being from Ohio & still living here, I love it! I too agree with the Young’s Jersey Dairy comments….no better ice cream! Also, it has to be The Ohio State Buckeyes (football)…pre season starts in exacty one month! Hopefully our pro teams will show some improvement this year.
    I have not had very many Ohio wines (one, to be exact) so I’m excited to go out & find some. Gary, thanks for doing the Ohio show & I can’t wait for the “red episode”. Keep up the great work!

    Great show, I’ve been lurking for a couple of weeks since my brother sent me some of your episodes, but I guess now I’m out in the open.

    QOTD: My favorite thing about Ohio would have to be my friends Dave and Mindy in Cleveland.

    QOTD: Oh wow!! Friends and family and making memories from childhood through the present—Rocky Colavito, Euclid Beach, playing softball in Forest Hills Park (meeting my husband at 3rd base—I played 3rd and he was the 3B coach), Fake Family parties (a story in itself), and on and on. Born and raised in Cleveland. Haven’t lived there since 1979, but Cleveland is still my 2nd home. Matter of fact, I was tasting at Harpersfield Winery with some of my favorite folks just two weeks ago. Shout out to OHIO!!

    Hey Gary,

    One of your oldest and deepest lurkers here (been watching for the past 2 years). I’m originally from Ohio and have tasted wine at all the wineries in the Grand River Valley so I couldn’t resist chiming in.

    QOTD: Obviously my family, but wine-wise it has to be the world class values in Ohio ice wines and ice style wines.

    Hope you’re tasting some Cab. Francs from GRV tomorrow. Laurello’s is super for the price.

  • QOTD: Only because it’s so easy for me… my wife is from Ohio.

    I love the idea of have a live broadcast on ustream… but it’s getting a bit out of hand. Moving your chair over there, GV? Really? Looking at that camera, spitting for that camera… that’s all fine. But can’t you at least stay in the frame of the main camera?
