Alumni Weekend at Tidal School continues to get better and better! Top Dog Catering featuring gourmet hot dogs...even a vegan one, will once again offer New York style dogs, Coney Island Chili dogs and a special California Dog with Avocado! Big Rob is rolling out the barbeque with rib dinners and will also have grilled steak and grilled chicken breast sandwiches. 'A Catered Affair' will offer smoked turkey legs and smoked sausage on a stick.

'Jeff, the Pampered Chef Guy' is bringing all the latest in spices and mixes for the gourmet cook as well as the latest in kitchen gadgets. Vonna's Very Fine Creations always has some jewelry for everyone and Stems and Stones will feature decorated glassware for the discriminating tastes.

And Sun Dog will be playing music from the 50's and 60's, from 1 til 4 pm.

Wine tastings, tours and admission are all FREE. Best of all -- you don't have to be an alumni to join in the fun. We hope to see you May 24th from 12 noon til 5 pm.

----------------------------------------------------

Coming June 7th -- Tuscan Night in the Vineyard

A strolling violinist, a warm evening with light breezes, truly good food paired with excellent wine --- what do you have? Tuscan Night in the Vineyard! You have asked us for this and we are finally able to do it. We plan this event for June 7th from 6 til 9 pm.

Your meal will begin with appetizers of bruschetta topped with fresh tomatoes and a seahorse (an oyster wrapped with a shrimp wrapped with a strip of bacon topped with mozzarella cheese and baked) followed by a salad -- fresh, crisp vegetables in a light dressing (with Italian bread of course)

Your Choice of Entrees:

- Veal Piccata

- Sherry Mushroom Chicken (a chicken breast done in a slow simmered sauce of sherry and fresh mushrooms & seasonings)

- Grilled Swordfish topped with fresh Mango Salsa

All entrees served with pasta and grilled lightly seasoned, fresh vegetables. Dessert is a Hershey Chocolate Cobbler -- with whipped topping and dusted with powdered sugar.

All courses will be served with wines chosen by the President of Tidal.
All of this for only $49.95!

This will be a smaller event than Tidal School Winery normally does, so early reservations are encouraged. Call Tidal School's toll free number or reserve your tickets online at: Tidal School Winery Events Tickets.

2008 Oklahoma Grape Growers and Wine Makers Association Leaders

This year's OGGWMA Annual Conference has resulted in some major leadership changes and well as changes to the Oklahoma Grape Growers and Wine Makers Association By-Laws.

The new OGGWMA Board includes:

President - Andrew Snyder
Vice-President - David Martin
Secretary - Susan Boehrer
Treasurer - Becky Brinkley
Western Region Director - Rusty Allard
Central Region Director - George Ingles
Eastern Region Director - Bob McBratney
Past President - Gary Butler

Stop by the Oklahoma Grape Growers & Wine Makers Association website and check out all of the new changes for 2008. The news is pretty interesting, heck I even picked up this cool Oklahoma grape growing tip from them:

As you prune this season think about saving the cane at each end of the cordons as late as you can. If a late freeze heads our way pruning the end cane can perhaps delay bud break a day or two. - OGGMWA

There are some changes to the dues and membership setup to check out. Regulatory reform proposals concerning direct sales and shipping will be voted on by our state officials again this year. Oklahoma wineries that were not able to send anyone to the annual meeting can find more information online here.

New Tulsa Winery Open for Tasting

If you visit the Oklahoma Wine News Blog Home Page, you should know that we keep the biggest list of Oklahoma Winery Websites on the net. We link to EVERY Oklahoma winery website we can find (at no charge) and that list is growing fast!

The lastest entry to our Oklahoma winery list is Whispering Vines Vineyards & Winery in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Their winery is located just Southwest of downtown Tulsa and currently produces more than 10 different award-winning Oklahoma wines. This is a great time of year to get out and visit some wineries, the vineyard tours may be a little chilly, but the tasting rooms are always comfortable! Stop by Whispering Vines and say 'Hello' for us!

Current Tasting Room Schedule for Whispering Vines Winery

Mon- Fri: 4:45 pm - 6:00 pm
Saturdays: 12:00 pm - 6:00 pm
