Featured Cincinnati Wine Events: Sept 5 – Sept 11

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Riverfest. Really, why do anything else? But if you do want to find an alternative, we've got a few suggestions for you.

Most of our local wineries will be open on Saturday and Labor Day Monday, so make a day of it. But call first to confirm times for Monday. Make sure to visit Harmony Hill, Kinkead Ridge (who will be debuting their 2007 reds), Meranda-Nixon, La Vigna, and Lakeside. In nearby Kentucky, you can visit Elk Creek and Stonebrook.

Want to know more about our local wineries? Here's a great interview with Bill Skvarla, owner & winemaker at Harmony Hill, via Clermont Today (airing this month on Warner ch 22).

Remember, all the recurring events, those dependable weekly tastings,
are displayed on our calendar. The one-time events are after the jump.

If I missed anything, make sure to let me know. For information on what's going on
in Dayton, you can refer to Mark's blog at Uncorked.
