Thank you to everyone who made July such a memorable month at Grand River Cellars! We had a wonderful turnout for our Christmas in July festivities and our Steel Drum Party featuring my dear friend, Jimmy G.


We have no plans to slow down in August! An exciting lineup of classes and events awaits. Ladies, get your shopping shoes ready for our annual Crafts & Corks Crawl at Grand River Cellars and Debonné Vineyards. Plus, our very own Christine is taking over Music Bingo and has a special Back-to-School edition planned for you.


The vineyards are thriving, and harvest will be here before we know it. So far, Mother Nature has been kind to us, and everything appears to be on track for a successful season.


We’re also excited to participate in the final Vintage Ohio Wine Festival at Lake Farmpark on August 7 and 8. During my time with the Ohio Wine Producers Association, I helped organize the very first Vintage Ohio, so it feels especially meaningful—and fitting—to be part of its final celebration. We hope you’ll make plans to attend the festival and stop by to say hello!


Stay cool, enjoy the season, and, as always, cheers!

Cindy
