Market Wines to Feature Burnet Ridge Wines for Father's Day Weekend Tasting
Bring Dad down to Market Wines at Findlay Market to taste a locally
produced wine! On Saturday, June 20, Cincinnati wine maker Chip Emmerich will sample his Burnet Ridge wines from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Cost is $5 per person; no reservation is necessary. Four Burnet Ridge wines will be featured and Emmerich will be on hand to answer questions about his hand-crafted wine.
Burnet Ridge is a small, Old-World style of winery that produces high quality fine wines in North College Hill. Although Emmerich imports many of his grapes from California, two of the wines in this tasting feature Ohio-grown fruit.
Market Wines is located at 128 W. Elder St., directly across from the main Market building. For more information, call 513-744-9888.
