I dont know if links are allowd to be posted here, but I will give you a couple if you should decide to head south of the Canadian border. One of my favorites in Ohio is the Old Mill Winery.  It's down to earth, has great food, and the atmosphere makes you not want to leave.  Another one in that area is the Old Firehouse Winery-the ice wine there is to die for! Hope you decide to head our way-you wont be disappointed. The links:  http://www.ohiowines.org/winetrails.shtml         (hide)

I would probably only get it for summertime special occasions    (hide)

Read more This weekend I headed up to the Conneaut/Geneva/Ashtabula/Lake Erie area of Ohio for a winter weekend get away. Since it was cold and snowy I was looking forward to having the Chardonnay I can only describe as "Lake Erie" Chardonnay which is oaked, not bone dry with a smooth texture and butter crunch taste about it...but it took me all weekend to find such a Chardonnay (I found what I wanted at our very last stop at Harpersfield Vineyard). It seems everyone has switched to a stainless steel Chardonnay and all taste very high in acid and sharp. I've seen a trend in Stainless steel/unoaked chardonnay over oaked Chardonnay recently. Being a raving Chardonnay fan, I like them both and think they both have their place if they are done right, but in the winter especially I really prefer the warm tones of an oaked Chardonnay. Has anyone else noticed this trend? Which do you prefer? Does anyone know of any easy to find oaked Chardonnays that are particularly good?

  They do a good job with hybrids in Ontario and a lot of eastern US wineries do ... have much better luck up in Lake Erie. Though, you can do a good bit of business just growing v. labrusca and hybrids because people really like foxy wines around here :-).

  Really enjoy this wine, impressed with the many different flavors, and how smooth it is. Works well with different foods or just to enjoy on it's own.

  This is soft and fresh blend of 4 grapes, with a touch of sweetness, almost semi-dry, with a crisp and clean finish. Great summer wine. 3.5
