After our D-Day adventures we sought out a winery. This is Ohio's wine country and options abound but most involve restaurants and are crazy busy on Saturday nights. We returned to Harpersfield Winery, near Geneva Ohio. We were here in August 2013 at the beginning of...
This was definitely not on our radar for something to do during our weekend on Lake Erie. We just happened to drive by yesterday afternoon on our way to Geneva SP. We made a rather spontaneous decision this morning to drive back to Conneaut and see what this...
Ah! Yes! We're off the Thruway and onto US-20. Even better we're back at Johnson Estate Winery near Westfield, New York. We were here in '13 and were quite impressed with their wines, especially their Red Ipocras. Today we stopped and stocked up on some old favorites...
