(Wines&Vines) - The upper Midwest encompasses a large area, and growing regions in Ohio, for example, often do not experience the same weather events as the cold climate region in Minnesota. The main factor impacting this year’s harvest was the rain that many vineyards across the region experienced, especially during harvest. Mike Williams, owner and winemaker at the Winery at Versailles located northwest of Dayton in western Ohio, told Wines & Vines, “It was not a dry summer. We got some rain, more than usual. Sometimes it seemed like constant rain all the time.”
