Joe and Devin Come to Visit: Wine Time


Who knew Northeast Ohio would be a good place to grow grapes, but it is (as long as they don’t have winters like last year).  Our good friends Joe and Devin came up to visit from Columbus, and we headed to Ferrante Vineyard for lunch and a winery tour.

Waiting by the faux fireplace for our wine tour.  Owen found this and turned it on and off for everyone.  He is blurry because he is busy explaining how it works.

These were the only barrels they’d let us see… LAME!

The bottling room… yup just an empty room that we don’t get to see in action.

No samples.  Boo. 
This was our wine tour of the (self-proclaimed) “Napa Valley of the East”.  Haters gonna hate. 
We did have a wonderful lunch and visit with Joe and Devin though!
