Wine Time

As I sit here nursing a glass of wine, I am inspired to write about our latest wine escapade.

One of the largely unknown benefits to living in NE Ohio is the Ohio Wine Trail.  Yes, I said "benefit" and "NE Ohio" in the same sentence.  If you like wine, its definitely worth the jaunt to check some of these local wineries out.

We discovered the "West End" wine trail during an excursion in July--an anniversary trip.  While we weren't sure what was in store for our palettes, we were positive that we had chosen the best bed & breakfast we had ever stayed in.  We have stayed in a number of B&B's over nearly 12 years of our marriage--both locally and internationally.  This by far is the best.

Peggy & Walt Pleban are the innkeepers at the Cabin in the Woods B&B.  They truly open their home and hearts to their guests.  We have come to think of them as family--which if you know our family that could be scary for them!  The home is a beautiful four bedroom log cabin which boasts many fine details and extraordinary craftsmanship.

The home is beautiful, yes.  But the hospitality is second to none.

Incredible.

The Plebans have thought of everything!  From the nicely appointed guest rooms to the delectable breakfast and everything in between they have it covered.

We were fortunate enough to return to their home over New Years for a wonderfully relaxing escape.  How lucky we are to have met them and to be considered their"special guests." 

But, this post is about the wine, right?

I assure you the wine was good.  So good in fact we came home with two cases.  But, the time we spent at the Cabin in the Woods was far more memorable than our tour of Ohio's West Side Wine Trail.
