Wins Coveted Jefferson Cup
The Jefferson Cup Wine Invitation is over and judges
tasted over 600 wines. They selected 70 of the very best as contenders
for the top 20 spots (6 from CA, 14 other states). Only 4 of these 14
winners are vinifera, 2 winners from Ohio and we are the only vinifera
winner from Ohio.
Kinkead Ridge in the Top Five of the
Ohio/Michigan Wine Clash Competition
Winner: 2008 Kinkead Ridge Cabernet
Sauvignon
American Wine Society Competition Results
Kinkead Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon: Silver Plus; Kinkead Ridge
Winery Cabernet Franc: Silver. Both of these wines were judged in
October after only a few months in bottle. Many of the gold medal wines
at this event were from vintages from 2007 or earlier, so this was a
great result.

new generation of wine critics with up- to-date, in-depth knowledge of
the different wine regions, the wineries and their wines, Opus Vino
provides greater coverage to the wine world than any other illustrated
wine book. Organized by country, and then broken down into regions,
districts, and wineries, the book looks at more than 4,500 individual
wineries, identifies each region's top producers and its rising stars,
and entries cover the owner, grapes, wine styles, and their best wines.
At 800 pages, Opus Vino takes wine publishing to new heights and gives
both professionals and amateur enthusiasts a wine reference fit for the
21st century. Available in the U.S., U.K. and Australia in November,
with international editions to follow next year.

Food Matcher.
"Why go for those long distance relationships when you can find love
in your own back yard."
Brillat Savarin noted two features which
distinguish man from beast:
1. Fear of the future.
2. Desire for fermented liquors.
