π·π Celebrate the Harvest with Lake Erie W**e Country!
Fall is a wonderful time to explore Lake Erie W**e Country, and the Harvest Celebration Weekends are the perfect excuse to gather your friends, hit the w**e trail, and discover something delicious along the way!
Across two special weekends, 20 participating w**eries will feature unique w**e and food pairings inspired by the flavors of the harvest. Each stop offers a chance to sample thoughtfully paired local food and w**e, discover new favorites, and experience the variety that makes our w**e region so special.
π· Our Pairing at Johnson Estate W**ery
Weβll be featuring our 2022 Torpedo Red paired with smoked pulled pork sliders!
Torpedo Red is a limited-edition bottling of our Foundersβ Red, crafted primarily from estate-grown Chancellor grapes (90%) with Pinot Noir (10%). This fruit-forward, lightly oaked red offers a medium body and fine tannins that complement the smoky, savory flavors of pulled pork.
A W**e with a Meaningful Story
Created in honor of Veterans Day, Torpedo Red pays tribute to w**ery founder Frederick Spencer Johnson, a World War II Navy torpedo bomber pilot. Its label was designed by his grandson, Spencer Johnson, an active-duty U.S. Navy officer.
