Oh, it's not a winery. It's a brew on premises that also has a bar up
stairs that sells by the drink, and sells bottles of their wines.

They say winery, but I had the owner take me for a tour. The basement is
full of kits and primaries and carboys with many kits in progress. He
also offers to help others (for a price) establish themselves in the
same manner. They sell nothing else. They make a lot on custom labels,
even if they make the kits for individuals. Weddings, anniversaries, etc.

I am heading past them again in 3 weeks and hope to taste a few kits and
then purchase them there. (tax is cheaper in Ohio also for me)

DAve
p.s. When I retire in 3-4 years, I may even attempt one of these in the
Raleigh, NC area.
