What gets me is how incomplete info gets copied and re-used, and re-used in various places - basically because it's easier that way. Too often the bottom line might mean that things aren't researched thoroughly before they are printed. Just as an example, I've seen the wine qualities of certain grape descriptions copied word for word on completely independent grapevine distributors' or nurseries' websites - notwithstanding the fact that these vines can produce very diverse wines depending on the terroir they happen to be planted in!

You should see the two email I got from Ontario wine people about my article. Some don't want certain information to get out to the public and they will feed what they want to feed to an unknowing reporter.

Not sure if Eric Miller owns property in the Lake Erie AVA or he out sources these grapes. You might be interested in trying Niagara wines made from other PA wineries located in the Lake Erie AVA- Arrowhead Wine Cellars; Heritage Wine Cellars; Mazza Vineyards; Penn Shore Vineyards; and Presque Isle Wine Cellars. A few years ago I attended a PA Wine and Food Festival at Split Rock Resorts and even then these wineries were showing great promise with the Niagara grape.
