What to do on a perfect July day in Ohio, when it is NOT raining (this year, that’s kind of rare) and you and two of your Winey friends want a girls’ day out? You hit the wineries, of course. For those of you who don’t know northeast Ohio, take that surprised look off of…
Rory, just before her 3rd birthday My “Empty Nest Series” is dedicated to the Winey children who did NOT leave The Winey nest for college and jobs and – the nerve – their own lives. Each Empty Nest Wine has something to do with those children who stayed: namely, the doggies. Woof. So from time…
Ahh….Valentine’s Day. One of my favorite times of the year. And when I refer to favorite, I am NOT talking about roses or fluffy heart pillows or little cupids flying around shooting at us. When I say favorite I am referring to chocolate and wine. Together. Because there’s no other time of the year when…
The Winey Family’s OfficialBrutus Buckeye Having now lived in Ohio for over 25 years, specifically Cleveland, I can honestly say that it’s a wonderful place to live and work and raise your family.

Lake Erie Islands It was the Winey Daughter’s idea, and it was a good one. It was also one a LONG time in coming, because neither I or The Winey Hubby (who grew up in Northeast Ohio) have ever been to the famed Lake Erie Islands. These are a chain of islands most of which fall under the…
