This week  marks the official end of harvest season here in the Lake Erie Region. It was a long exciting stretch with only a few glitches with equipment. This year we sourced grapes not only from Lake Erie but also from the Finger Lakes and the entire west Coast to ensure that we were able to fill all of our customers’ needs. In addition to those grapes and juices, we also imported Juice from Australia and Italy which is still available in limited quantities- winemakers, be sure to purchase before they are all gone!

The Touriga Nacional Port is now bottled and should be on the shelves at our Isle House and available for purchase online within a few weeks.

Today I filtered Pink Catawba as I racked it out of cold stabilization back into the winery. This wine will be ready for bottling later this week.

Check out our Online Wine Store and see all the wine we have available to ship within PA!
