I was in Ohio of all places for a shower and little wine shop insisted that I buy a Cabernet from Diamond Mountain from Treasure Hunter. It was one of the best wines I have ever had and cost $20 bucks!! I am having a tough time finding more about them although I did get a case of wonderful pinot from the same shop. If anyone knows more about this company please let me know. Thanks! ps. i found an image of the wine i am talking about on google images...    (hide)

Read moreIf you think about the carbon footprint, in NYC, the smaller footprint is left ... you get to some point in Ohio. Shipping a container, carrying hundreds and hundreds of bottles, is a more efficient and less energy-wasting than driving from CA in trucks. So unless we want to drink NY wine, we use less energy if we buy Euroopean wine than CA wine. But there's a lot of BS in the whole thing. If you want tulips, you buy from Holland not Africa. They need more intensive cooling in Africa and the shipping cost is higher. So for energy reasons, you shop "locally" and go with Holland. But then in Africa they plant opium or smuggle diamonds to make up for the lost income. The locavore idea makes some sense superficially. But if you remember that everyone is connected and that the people in temperate zones might have the good fortune to be able to grow their own food, you also need to ignore the other people or it stops making sense. SF can do a lot of local procurement. And how do they get the stuff to the restaurants? By driving? OK, so where are those oil wells? In their beautiful CA countryside? Nope. In Nigeria. So in SF they can feel morally superior as they deplete the Nigerian oil but refuse to buy their bananas because OMFG, the bananas aren't "local". And of course, you simply ignore the source of the oil that powers the delivery truck or the refrigerator in which you keep those precious local mushrooms and steaks.    (hide)

"emerging regions" (I think Ohio may have been included in last year's edition), and it does a great job in explaining how each variety tastes within each region, and what each region specializes in. It highlights each regions "best" producers, as well as identifying some good value labels. It even touches on some food pairings. Within each section, they offer some suggested wines to look for, with tasting notes on each. While im sure there are many who would argue with their rating system, if you are just getting started then you dont really need to get in the middle of all that. Its a pretty small and portable book, so It was my wine "bible" when I was first getting started, and if you keep it handy, study the write ups, and try some of their suggestions it will be a great way for you to become well versed pretty quickly    (hide)

  My wife and I absolutely love this wine! Fruit forward without being too sweet. Light on the tanins but still interesting and not too simple. I only wish I could find a place to buy a case!

  Haha yes, many are surprised that Ohio actually grows grapes. The winery that I work at in particular grow only vinifera varieties. We have Chard, Riesling, Pinot Grigio, Semillon, Cab Franc, Cab Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir & Syrah. The Semillon & Syrah are new...we should have... Read moreHaha yes, many are surprised that Ohio actually grows grapes. The winery that I work at in particular grow only vinifera varieties. We have Chard, Riesling, Pinot Grigio, Semillon, Cab Franc, Cab Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir & Syrah. The Semillon & Syrah are new...we should have them by next year-I'm excited for those. Everything else does pretty well. We are maybe 20 miles from Lake Erie so that & the Grand River(maybe 2 miles away) really help to keep the vines frost free. In the same area there are many labrusca varieties as well...lots of concords which these farmers have contracts w/ Welch's & Coca Cola. Vidal, Delaware, Niagara, Catawba are also grown    (hide)

Read moreHey all. I've recently started working in the wine industry & I was overwhelmed ... working at a small winery in Ohio & have taught myself alot already just by reading & using online sites like this & of course working at the winery helped me gain a lot of knowledge as well. However, while I know a thing or two, I'm amazed at what others know. They seem to know everything about every wine growing region, the composition of a grape, grape growing, wine making, blending, aging, etc....anyways...I would love some insight as to how you get to be so knowledgeable. Like I said, I read alot but I'm sure that only goes so far. I'm only 22 so I certainly don't have the experience but I would someday love to. Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thank    (hide)
