- FreeWine - 10-14-2002 The Rough Guide to Okie Wineries http://www.nuyakacreek.com/Oklahoma_wineries.htm Tastings, tours, history, wine list, growers info for all major Oklahoma wineries. - Bucko - 10-14-2002 Hey, I'm an old Okie and I just tried an Okie wine for the sake of my sister who brought it: NV Tres Sueños, Red Table Wine, Charter Oak Red, Oklahoma, $12. Tasted blind on a trusted wine friend, he thought it might be a Cotes du Rhone, as did I. I certainly would not have picked Oklahoma if I had 100 guesses. The rustic red fruit and tannins were a nice match for BBQ brisket. 85/85. Bucko - winoweenie - 10-15-2002 Holy Bejabbers Foodie... Look what 2 weeks in France does to a palate. Ebberthin tastes likka Rhone. [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/biggrin.gif[/img]WW - FreeWine - 10-15-2002 Yes! I like Tres Suenos wines, too. My new favorite is the American White Pinot Noir that Tidal School Vineyards produces. http://www.tidalschool.com Big fruit, awesome color, good nose all for under $10! - Thomas - 10-15-2002 What I wanna know is how long that list of Oklahoma wines is? - FreeWine - 10-16-2002 Well, I couldn't give you an exact count, but here's what i know. Nuyaka Creek has 14 wines currently available and Tidal School has 6. There is a new winery in Natura and they have about half a dozen labels, but I don't know what they have on hand. At Sparks winery, they are now offering four white table wines, one bluish table wine, five red table wines, and a port. I guess most Okie wineries average about half a dozen varieties. Here's a page for links to these and other Oklahoma wineries: http://www.nuyakacreek.com/Oklahoma_wineries.htm - winoweenie - 10-17-2002 Seems like our home state has the handle on growing great varietal grapes, Eh Buckston? They are producing more varities than Beringer. WW - FreeWine - 10-17-2002 Of course, many of our Oklahoma wines are not your typical varieties. At Nuyaka Creek Winery, you can even try a wine made from Sumac (locally known as shoemake, a much hated pasture pest). How's that for making lemonade when life hands you lemons? - Bucko - 10-17-2002 Can't grow palm trees in North Dakota.... gotta do what the land and weather allows. AFA WW, he'll drink anything with a cork in it, even if it is Bluish..... I heard his momma had to put a cork in his Gerbers bottle to get him to eat strained peas.
