Meet the Ohio Wine Explorers

What started as a few nights hanging out at the North Coast Wine Club, led to a lot of Saturdays exploring Ohio, one (or ten) winery at a time. We have vastly different tastes in wine, and varying levels of knowledge of it. We all enjoy getting out and discovering new places and wines!

Jennifer & Scott Darpel

We came into this adventure with very little knowledge of wines, occasionally finding some things we liked, but not really understanding what it was that drove that. I, Scott, am a self-professed beer snob, leaning towards moderately hopped beers, especially hazy IPAs. Makes sense that I lean towards dry reds, where Jen leans a little sweeter.

Favorite Wine Varieties:
Jen: Cabernet Francs,
Scott: Sangiovese, Cab Sauvignon, Tuscans, Chambourcins, Appassimentos
