The grapes are grown in Washington and shipped (34F) to northeast Ohio where the wines are made.  12% abv. Light golden in color.  The nose is interesting with nice minerality along with a slight chamomile note and peaches.  Medium bodied.  Dry.  On the palate, the minerality comes thru along with a bit of lemon peel.  Nice finish.  This is drinking well now on its own and should be quite food friendly.  A nice match would be Thai food.  Drink over the next five to eight years.  

The label on this lists Santa Ynez Valley which is in Santa Barbara County, California.  The grapes were grown there and then shipped to Ohio where the wine was produced.  Interestingly, the label also indicates that this is only sold in Ohio. Garnet in color, purple at the core, mostly clear and bright.  The nose is tight but shows boysenberries, cherries, and a bit of cedar on the nose.  Medium bodied.  Strong backbone of acidity.  On the palate, black cherries and slight boysenberries.  This will work better with food.  Cassoulet would be a good choice.

This is made with grapes grown on the West Coast and shipped to Ohio.  Purple in color with garnet hues, opaque and bright.  The nose is great with cassis, black cherries, and a slight herbal (chervil?) note.  Full bodied.  Gripping tannins.  On the palate, black cherries and cassis with some char and slight reductive (burnt rubber) notes.  Good acidity.  Long finish.  This needs a few years of cellaring to integrate and then should drink well for another eight to twelve years.  It would work well with Lamb Stew or a Cassoulet. 

Apparently made from Washington state (Red Mountain) fruit that is then shipped to Ohio.  Packaged in a Burgundy shaped bottle.  This was very good and really made me take notice upon trying.  Garnet in color with purple hues, mostly opaque and bright.  The nose needs some air to get going, but then shows nice black cherries, figs, roasted vegetables, and slight coffee grounds.  Full bodied.  Firm tannins.  On the palate, lots of black cherry fruit along with a slight coffee and spice.  Good acidity.  Long finish.  This could use a few more years in a good cellar to get where it is going bu

This is made from grapes grown on the west coast and shipped to Ohio.  Ruby in color, clear and bright.  The nose has rhubarb, cherries and slight spice notes.  Medium bodied.  Light tannins.  On the palate, the rhubarb and cherry notes come thru along with a slight milk chocolate note.  Moderate finish.  This is a lighter style of Pinot Noir that works better with food than on its own.  Drink over the next three to five years.  

Made with grape grown in California and shipped to Ohio.  Pale golden in color with a slight copper tinge to it.  Clear and bright.  The nose is a bit reticent at first, but opens to show Cantaloupe, along with a light lemon note and some minerality.  Light to medium bodied.  On the palate, this has a nice, slightly oily texture.  Melons with some lemon. Nice, easy finish.  This  drinks nicely on its own, but a bit better with food.  It went well with stuffed mushrooms.  Drink over the next couple of years.  

This is made from grapes grown in California and trucked to northeast Ohio to be processed.  Light golden in color, clear and bright.  The nose is nice with lemons, slight pear and hints of spice.  Medium bodied.  13.5% abv.  On the palate, this is tasty.  It has some depth to it.  Flavors of pears with a slight honey note.  Good acidity.  Nice finish.  This drinks very well on its own and will work with seafood, poultry or veggies.  It went nicely with a mushroom pizza.  Drink over the next five years. 

This is made by MIchael Angelo's Winery which is located in Northeast, Ohio.  The grapes are grown in California and shipped (2-day) to Ohio to be processed.  Tasted from two bottles, the second was significantly better than the first (not sure if the first had been open, was from the same vintage, etc) so this note is based on the second, freshly opened bottle.  Made utilizing the Charmat Method.  Light silvery/golden in color.  A fair amount of froth with medium to small sized bubbles.  The nose is nice with lots of peach and slight limes.  With air a banana note came out (perhaps a bit o

Founded in 1987, Argyle has always considered sparkling wine to be one of their mainstays. With a mild carbonation and light fresh flavors, not to mention a good price tag, this is an easy decision for your sparkling needs. Light notes of lemon, quince, green apple, just-baked sourdough, a touch of lime zest and tangerine peel make this a delightful wine. Comprised of 52% Chardonnay and 43% Pinot Noir, a little Pinot Meunier rounds it out. Aged in stainless steel with just 20% in neutral oak allows the bright expressive flavors to come through while allowing for a nice bit of mouth feel.

A nice take on a Washington state Syrah.  Purple in color with some ruby swirls.  The nose has black cherries, cloves, black pepper and char.  Medium tannins.  Plenty of depth.  On the palate, black cherries with underlying minerality and char.  Good acidity.  Long finish.  This is still on the younger side but should drink well for another ten to fifteen years.  A nice choice with Beef Stew.
