Ok, I promise not to post things about wine and beer all day, but I’m still getting loads of e-mails, and do want to share some (if not the actual bottles):

Here’s another e-mail:

I appreciate your effort to focus on good wines from the Anglosphere, but
most of your recommendations came from California, Oregon and Washington.
Ohio produces some great wines in the region along the Lake Erie shore.
Ferrante Winery probably is the best I’ve tried. The specialty for the
region is ice-wines (dessert stuff) which is not really my thing, but there
are some very good Ohio reds.
Also, for Jonah– Ohio produces some great beers– notably Great Lakes
Brewing Company (try the Edmund Fitzgeral Porter, and Burning River Pale
Ale).
All these places have web sites- and the products are available, if not
nationally, at least in the industrial midwest. (Although I hear that
Great Lakes is available in New York).
After all, shouldn’t everyone be a little thankful for Ohio this year?
