QOTD: Rock and roll hall of fame.

QOTD: Maybe the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but really I’m not a fan of Ohio. Being a Michigander I suppose I have no other choice, but the state is just cornfields and strip-malls in my book.

Little German tip Gary, Spätlese, has a long a, as in wait or gate, not the ahh sound, as in spot, that you’ve been using. It means “late harvest”, which probably contributes to the higher residual sugar.

QOTD: The Cincinnati airport is in Kentucky. WTF?

yea… i thought that chair was wrong.
qotd. My favorite thing about Ohio is that, historically speaking, Ohio is the original wild west. When the settlers from the east coast first went west, they weren’t heading for Oregon or California, they settled the Ohio valley.

I think for wine to be successfully made in Ohio, and the other 46, they need to play up their geographical bonuses. They should take a page from NY. Grapes can be grown most anywhere in NY. but high quality wine grapes only grow where geography help to modify the climate, hence our AVA names; Hudson valley, Finger Lakes, Niagra, Long Island … So i wanna see Ohio River Red or some Lake Erie White. That goes for the rest of the 46.

QOTD: Pumpkin patches and donuts in the fall. Lived there as a kid, great harvest season in general.

Thanks for introducing another state GV, I’ll have to seek out some buckeye vino.

QOTD: My friend Andy. He lives in Cincinnati.

While I enjoy your reviews of wines from the various states, I must admit that these four wines left me a little empty. Will anxiously await the reds. QOTD……………….To be honest, I can’t think of anything that I like about Ohio. But then again, I live in the DC area, and we have a very high opinion of ourselves.

QOTD…The greatest golfer of all time, Jack Nicklaus. Go Penn State, beat the crap outta OSU!!

QOTD: Definitely Cedar Point – best rollercoasters around.

QOTD: I was a Missile Tech on the USS Ohio. That’s about the closest I’ve ever been to Ohio.

QOTD: My wife was born in Chillicothe, OH.

Gary: good show. I am from VA and I have pretty much the same observations as you: VA wines are good, but not good values. With the $20 I have to spend on a tasty VA reserve chardonnay (Horton, Oasis, Naked Mountain, Chrysalis, Autumn Hill, Sharp Rocks, etc) I can buy 2 bottles of similarly-snappy Aussie or Cali wine. But there’s nothing like sipping the VA juice right there at the vineyard, with the lovely VA hills stretched before you, having just had a good confab with the wine maker. That’s what you’re paying for, not what’s in the bottle. QOTD: The best thing I’ve seen in Ohio is the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton.

Really like these visits to other states!

Gary I haven’t watched many of your shows, ever since you failed to keep your personal promise to do a Master’s wine tasting, with some of the pro’s wine, Norman, Palmer, Els, etc. I am not into people who break promises. As for this show, I liked the fact that you are expanding the wine market for prople, outside what you sell. There is potential in these here states. Joel M

Favorite thing about Ohio…

Couple friends thats about all that comes to mind as whenever I hear Ohio I think OSU. ugh

QOTD: Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Cleveland rocks!

QOTD: Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Cleveland rocks!

My favorite thing about Ohio: not living there.

What was that famous line in When Harry Met Sally? “I’ll have what he’s having.” Wow, that’s loving what you do. Keep up the energy and a great showing for a state with absolutely little or no summer and brutal winters.

QOTD: I have traveled to Cleveland every six months for the past 15 years and will say the best thing about Ohio is it’s people especially at the Donnelley printing plant in Willard, OH. Go Tribe!

Cheers!

QOTD: Football’s Jim Brown, but he played before you were born.

I used to visit Cleveland with my family when our close family friends moved there from Orchard Park, NY. Can’t remember a lot since that was a long time ago.

QOTD – That the city of Cleveland changed its name from the original “Cleaveland” because the name was too long for the local newspaper.

QOTD: Upper Sandusky – population 6,533, the town where one set of my cousins and an uncle and aunt came from. I used to love hanging out with them at their house out in the middle of the farm lands and enjoying the quiet. Great memories with family from my childhood 🙂

Oh, and it’s an hour and a half from Sandusky, Ohio – the two towns aren’t related in any way.

I watched this show being filmed on upstream. Very fun to see it both ways.

QOTD: My favorite thing about Ohio is the roads. They must have high taxes in Ohio because the roads are very nice to drive on.
