THE wine epicenter of the world
Ay carumba, we are indeed blessed here in southwest Ohio to be the wine epicenter of the world and to have SO SO many wine dinners and winemaker events coming up. Here’s a small sampling, in chronological order — I DARE you to read this list without salivating.
— Jay’s Restaurant, 225 E. Sixth St., will host a Copper River Salmon Luncheon at 12:30 p.m. Saturday, May 31. The menu includes Tuna Nicoise Salad; Duo of Dungeness Crab Cakes with Avocado and Mango; Cedar-Planked Salmon with Yukon Gold Mashed Potatoes and Summer Vegetables; and Lemon and Plum Bread Pudding with Mascarpone Ice Cream. The cost is $67.50, which includes tax and tip. Reservations are required. For reservations or more information, call (937) 222-2892.
— Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar, 4432 Walnut St. at The Greene in Beavercreek, will host a wine dinner with Michael Honig, owner of Honig Vineyard and Winery, at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, June 2.

— The National City Ohio WineFest will be held at the 2nd Street Market, 600 East Second Street in Downtown Dayton, on Friday, June 6th, 5:00pm to 10:00pm and Saturday, June 7th, 11:00am - 8:00pm. The event will feature 13 Ohio wineries. Market vendors will be open both days.
— Shawn from the Cork-n-Vine in Troy points out that from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. on Wednesday, June 4th, his shop will kick off Ohio Wine Month by hosting Tony Debevec, owner of Debonne Vineyards in Madison, Ohio. For $14.00, you’ll get a flight of wines that include Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Chambourcin, Cabernet Franc, River Rouge and Vidal Blanc Ice Wine.
— And Cuvee Wine Cellar in Bellbrook will host a drop-in Adelsheim Vineyard Tasting with Michael Adelsheim (Director of National Sales) on Monday, June 9th from 5-7 PM, featuring the Oregon winery’s Chardonnay (Stainless steel), Auxerrois, TF (Tocai Friulino), Pinot Noir, Elizabeth’s Reserve Pinot Noir, Deglace (Pinot Noir Dessert Wine).
Now keep in mind — this is just a small sampling of the total wine-tastings list, which comes to Uncorked via the tireless efforts of the Dayton-based wine listserv that compiles it, and which is available to you (for free!) for a click of the mouse on “continue reading.” Is life great or what?
