Ferrante Winery and Ristorante (written Apr 27, 2010)
Wine: 3 stars Winery: 1 stars Ambiance: 3 stars

Favorite Wine: Riesling

I have been to this winery several times. They are one of the largest wineries in Ohio. I have found the service here to be "variable". I have had great service and horrible service. They have an extensive wine list. Some wines are good...some not so good. If your are looking for a restaurant, give it a try. If you are looking for a winery look around at some of the "smaller" ones.

South River Vineyard (written Mar 31, 2010)
Wine: 4 stars Winery: 5 stars Ambiance: 5 stars

Favorite Wine: Pinot Noir

I have traveled all over the US/Canada/Europe and have been to hundreds of wineries. I have never seen anything like what we have here in Ohio. Most wineries that I have been to are all about the wine (just like they are at south river) here in ohio they are more about a huge party. I wont name the bigger wineries that play Jimmy Buffet and encourage spring break like behavior. I am sure that if you go to South River Vineyard and act like an adult -you will get treated like an adult. They have the best wine in ohio, and the best views of an actual vineyard. The Pinot is out of this world. I don't know what to tell the guy who got mad about moving the chairs but I have moved a chair there before and no one said anything to me-so maybe you were doing something else. South River is the only real european type winery around. If you like parties just don't go there -no need to trash it on the internet.
