OK wine :Beat Texas Commemorative

KathyE, I have a t-shirt for the Grape Ranch and it is just like you said. If you don't know where Grape Ranch is it is in Okemah, OK on I-40 and about 6 or 7 miles south. Just follow the signs.

Thanks.. I read that They had the Red Dirt festival there last week end according to the Gazette.

Just so we stay on the topic of barbecue, here is an article from the August 2005 Backyard Barbecue News:

Cookshack Forum Reaches 5,000 Members

The Cookshack forum reached 5,000 members on July 13, 2005 with rgecaprock's registration. She says she heard about us on the finevinewines.com forum "where they rave about the Cookshack and share pictures and recipes."

The Texan has been making wine for about six months and bottled 30 bottles of her own gew�rztraminer in mid-July. We asked her for recommendations for wine to accompany barbecue and here's what we learned:

"With the smoky rich tastes of red meats like tenderloin and rib eyes the fruit forward reds are the best ... red zinfandels, shiraz, cabernets ... slightly chilled. With poultry try a dry white like viognier or vouvray. If you are using a spicy rub or sauce then gew�rztraminer is the best one I have found."

If you have a favorite wine or wines to drink with your Q, email d_johnson@cookshack.com and we will publish more about wines in a future issue of the BBN.

Thanks Donna, I was going to have to email "someone" about why TShirts about Grapes, posted originally in the Recipe forum was about Barbecue

I thought we wer on the subject of bbq.Some of us,right Old coacher? know that certain wines go well with bbq and we were discussing the festival music as that type of music also goes well with bbq. iT MIGHT EVEN GO WELL WITH "crow".
I would put a smile on here except I can't figger out the graemlins. Old Coacher andI didn't realize that so many people can talk intelligently about wines and bbq together HAHA

You didn't recommend which was best with BBQ? The Red, White or the Blush


Absolutely, we've discussed wines and beers before and what will go with Q. or with Crow.

Like the article Donna mentioned says, gewurtztraminer for spicy etc etc. Personally I stick with whites most of the time but I am sure that the BeatTexas red woudl be good too. The BeatTexas blush might be good with some appetizers like bbq nachos or stuffed bbq peppers.

Like this,where is the message icon?I am so illiterate with computers it isn't funny.Well it probably is funny to other people.

I have always drank a bottle of wine with BBQ since I was a kid until they told me last year that Coors was not wine.
