Episode 311 - Reborn Vintages   addthis

Ohio winemaker Bill Skvarla says,“It’s gone from the perception that the Ohio Valley is grape juice with alcohol in it to where we’re now producing world quality and international award winning wines."

The color of the wine bottle is more important than the shape. Colored glass protects the wine from the damaging affects of the sun and ultraviolet light.
