Chagrin Falls and wine

Are you a fan of Ohio wine? Ohio isn't well known for make red wines but the white and ice wines produced in Ohio are some of the best you will find in the world. This is mainly due to Ohio having the perfect environment for growing both the Catawba and Niagara grapes and these two grape varieties are perfect for white and ice wine. There is one winery in the Cleveland area, actually located in the small suburb of Chagrin falls that have become experts at white wine production using the Niagara grape.  The winery is name Auburn Twin Oak Winery.


Twin Oak Winery took its name from the two giant oak trees that stand on its property so if you are driving there just look for two giant oaks off in the distance and head that way.


This is a very nice winery. Not only do they have great whites but they also have a very nice gift shop. And if you happen to be hungry, they have one of the best buffets you will find all put on by professional chef's.


Forget to mention - I was speaking of Ohio being one of the best areas to find white and ice wines I forgot to mention this about Twin Oak Winery, they also produce a couple very nice red wines. For their red wine production they acquire their grapes from vineyards located in California and S. America.


If you can only try one wine at this Ohio winery, that wine should be "Twin Labs" named after they two dogs.
