What's Old! From the Ripley Bee, Oct. 22, 1859

"The vineyards on the Ohio are mostly young, and several bear this year for the first time. There are upwards of .... 145 acres not bearing in Brown county, O.  ... In some sections the average per acre is 400 gallons, but these are the old vineyards. ... Mr. Reynolds of Ripley, has studied out a preparation which he puts into the wine as it runs from the press, and prevents fermentation entirely. He then proceeds to clarify it, and free the wine of all the sediment. Mr. R. says it will keep, retaining all the rich taste of the grape, even if exposed to the air... Mr. Winters, of Dover, and Mr. Cramer, of  Levanna are making the celebrated French brandy. These two gentlemen have upwards of one hundred acres in vineyards."

"The Ripley Bee" from February 1859, which describes the vintage of 1858. Total # of acres planted in this area: 1631. Total # of gallons produced: 18,199. At an average price of one dollar per gallon!
