Bottles to find

Wine from Ohio comes out of USA, where it sits as a wine region.

Riesling leads the plantings, with Chardonnay and Vidal alongside it.

The ground underneath is clay, loam and sand.

The climate is continental.

The vineyards themselves read as hills, lakeside and valley floor.

The region is known for red wine, dry white wine and sweet white wine, plus two more.

Inside it sit Grand River Valley, Isle St. George, Lake Erie - Ohio, Ohio River Valley and Loramie Creek.

At the table these bottles work with grilled chicken, seafood, spicy dishes and cheeses.

Serve chilled.

Keeps for 2 to 10 years.
