Most people are surprised to learn that wine grapes and winemaking goes back as far as 1823 in the state of Ohio. While those grapes were not the European variatels we now know, today many Ohio wineries are making wines from locally grown Vitis vinifera. Harpersfield Winery is located in the town of Geneva in northeast Ohio, part of the Grand River AVA where several high quality vineyards and wineries can be found. We visited with Colleen Lindahl at the winery during Thanksgiving while tasting some of their exceptional wines.

When visiting Sonoma wine country, specifically the Rodney Strong Vineyards tasting room you’ll also be visiting the Davis Bynum tasting room.

While at this very moment we are a long way from harvest, here you get a chance to listen to a winemakers point of view at the start of the event.
