The importance of soil when planting a vineyard can’t be understated. Winemakers need an expert to be part of the team that makes major decisions when planting. Dr. Paul Anamosa was our guest, via telephone for Podcast #459 in October of last year and now we catch up, in person. The science of winemaking is fascinating and I hope you enjoy this deep dig. It was great to finally meet Paul face to face and talk dirt.

More than 300 wineries and 5 AVAs can be found in the great state of Ohio. Northeast Ohio, just outside of Cleveland, produces several grape varieties but Pinot Noir commands the most attention. Award winning Pinot Noir in fact. I visited Tracy Hundley, Owner and Co-Winemaker at Hundley Cellars in Harpersfield just a few weeks ago. Hundley is a classic family owned winery keeping to a great tradition of making wine from local grapes. There is nothing better than a wine visit to this part of Ohio.
