Will the Oklahoma Wines get a shot? Can this be turned around? I am not clear on the time line, can anyone advise? Thanks, Bridget How long before this is a done deal?

Oklahoma government needs to be making decisions in the BEST interest of Oklahomans and their businesses! The decision to use CA wine at an Oklahoma exhibit is silly at best. If I were a vintner in Oklahoma, I'd be angry and disappointed. I bet you're right. I bet Oklahoma wines weren't even considered. This is one of the most ridiculous things I’ve heard in a long time.

While both may contain California avocadoes, an Oklahoman might add some local flavors of their own, not unlike an Oklahoma vintner would to California grape juice. The two concoctions are likely to be unique. Or it's like if there was a festival honoring California food and cuisine, and since so much of the wheat in the California baked bread was from Oklahoma, they opted to showcase bread made in Oklahoma instead of California.
