Sugarcreek, Fresno and West Lafayette, Ohio
November 3, 2012
Okay, I totally
meant to have all my 2012 blog entries done before 2012 was over. Alas, that did not happen. Here I am trying to conjure up the details of
an afternoon of wine tasting that happened nearly two months ago. I must have forgotten my camera- all I have
are pics I took with my phone. I don’t even
remember what wines we tasted. This will
be the most haphazard of blog posts.
I’d completed
the Stark Parks Trail Trot that morning and was ready for a relaxing afternoon
of wine tasting. I met up with Jan, Di,
and Meg and we traveled to our first stop- Heini’s Gourmet Market (1019 West
Main Street) in Sugarcreek, Ohio. Heini’s offers a variety of Ohio-made
specialty foods, boasts a large selection at their wine bar and prepares delicious
lunch items. We enjoyed soup &
sandwiches with a glass of wine while listening to a live band play Beatles and
Jimmy Buffet covers. After lunch we went
around the back of the building to the thrift shop on the lower level and
visited the home décor shop next door. We
enjoyed a leisurely drive along Route 93 through the heart of Ohio Amish
Country on the way to our next destination.
Our subsequent
stop was Pearl Valley Cheese (54775 Township Road 90) in Fresno,
Ohio- Jan and her husband love it! After
shopping in their market, we headed toward our last destination- Raven’s Glen
Winery (56183 CR 143) in West Lafayette, Ohio. We sampled several of the wines at their
large wine bar, then walked around the grounds a little and relaxed on the back
patio. So, I don’t remember much but I can
tell you that we had a blast on this afternoon excursion- we always do when
wine and shopping are involved.
