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.

Winey Tasting Notes: The Sweeter Side of Ohio, or “Go Bucks!”

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.

Sipping My Way Through The Lake Erie Islands, Part Two: Heineman’s Winery, Put-In-Bay

Lake Erie Islands The Winey Family decided a visit to the Lake Erie Islands was in order this summer….and it was long overdue. I have lived in Cleveland for 25 years and had never set foot on these famed islands. But that’s not as bad as the Winey Hubby, who has lived here for the…

Sipping My Way Through the Lake Erie Islands, Part One: Kelley’s Island
