What makes Ohio wines so special?
"Ohio is on the same latitude as southern France and northern Italy and has a longer growing season. Many of the wines we stock at Heini's Gourmet Market are from boutique Ohio wineries, and rarely found outside the wineries themselves," says Heini's Gourmet Market wine specialist Craig Morris. "We now stock more than 30 of Ohio's top wineries and more than 100 types of Ohio wine, all available to sample before you buy."
Heini's Gourmet Market showcases local artisan foods and wine with more than 1,000 Ohio specialty foods from more than 200 Ohio-based companies.
