Preparations continue for the Nuyaka Creek Winery Harvest Festival Sept 18. Larry Spears has teamed up with his friends Tom Skinner and Rocky Friscoe to provide some live Oklahoma-style music to go along with the Oklahoma wine tasting (taste dozens of locally produced wines). Thankfully, they are bringing out a Big Screen TV, so no one will have to miss the OU game.
Summerside Vineyard, Winery and Inn in Vinita has launched a new site design. Offering loads of new color and movement, the new design displays a diverse and vivid bouquet to match their selection of Oklahoma wines.
Natura Winery and Indian Creek Villiage Winery have also redesigned their websites. The new designs are much easier to navigate and more search engine friendly.
In Cultivate Grapes for Looks, Products, Associated Press writer Dean Fosdick examines the large number of products you can 'squeeze' from a grape. Here's a taste of his article:
Several California growers are selling zinfandel vinegars, chardonnay-teriyaki marinades and black-truffle-grapeseed oils with their bottled wines. That's in addition to the more traditional culinary products: jellies and unfermented grape juices, raisins and grape leaves used for wrapping around such things as rice and lamb before cooking. (Look for Dolma recipes on the Internet.)
Landscapers also recommend grapes for their ornamental value. Train vines to climb arbors, porches and pergolas, and you're rewarded with cooling shade in the summer and colorful foliage in the fall.
The full article goes on to relate a story of a man who trained his grape vine to grow up the side of a 3-Story building...and they made 1/2 ton of grapes!
