Harpersfield Township, Ohio -- (November 3, 2008) -- The Ohio Grapes Industries has released the first episode of its new production, Ohio Wine TV, featuring Ferrante Winery & Ristorante in Ashtabula County.

The 7-minute segment includes an interview with winemaker Nicholas Ferrante in which he discusses four award-winning Ferrante wines: 2006 Golden Bunches Dry Riesling , 2006 Riesling GRV Signature Series , 2006 GRV Chardonnay Signature Series, and 2006 Vidal Blanc Ice Wine.  Ferrante provides an interesting overview and explanation of Ice Wines.  For example, by law the grapes must be frozen on the vine, not harvested and frozen artificially.  Ferrante's frozen grapes are hand picked at 2 am, and yield a smaller amount of juice with a concentrated honey-like flavor.  Ice Wine is usually bottled in smaller 375 ml. bottles (Ferrante uses a special Italian bottle).

Ferrante's Italian Ristorante is also profiled in the segment.  Links to the dinner and lunch menus are featured on the Ohio Wine TV screen, as well as a list of area attractions.
