Ocoee Winery, Tennessee

~ Steven J. Scheinin

Day 1342

     A long time desire of Steve Hunt to have a winery was realized in March 2006 when he opened “The Ocoee Winery” in Cleveland, Tennessee.

     We spoke with Steve Hunt who told us he does not grow his own grapes, but  purchases locally-grown grapes to make his wine.The wine is made on the premises and sold only in the winery. 

     We went there with friends to taste the wine of this local winery.

     Steve gave us a tour of his bottling plant including a demonstration of this label maker.

     He explained to us how this machine corks his bottles while holding up a finger to show us a missing digit when he did not heed the warning not to put your hand in the corker.

     I bet the person who bought that bottle of wine was surprised.

  1. Yeah, a winery. Disappointing I can’t buy a bottle to try. Surprised to not see any aging barrels. What did Barbara think of the whites? Needs a digit to add flavor? I see you got boring at the end.
