My Bad, I'd meant Northeast Ohio.

We did not check out that winery on the trail, but it doesn't suprise me at all. In general the Lake Erie trail disappointed me. Other than a few gems, the wineries were typically labrusca style sweet wines, which sell well to Pennsylvanians and non-wine drinkers, but sour my palate a bit too much. We've had MUCH better luck going just a few hours more into the Northwestern Ohio region, with some excellent vinifera based wineries.

Well, you've moved from Michigan to Washington to freakin' Australia, so you're really good at acting on hard decisions. Lord know we all go through this kind of hell multiple times a year. A goofy guy once said "Failure is just another opportunity for a new success". Corny as hell, but he's kinda right.
