NYC psychiatrist launches second career in Ohio vineyards

Dr. David Kraus in his vineyards near Sandusky

I’ve written just a smidge about Dr. David Kraus of Hermes Estate Vineyards/Sand Hill Winery near Sandusky in north-central Ohio. He’s the New York City psychiatrist who on many weekends returns to his boyhood home in north-central Ohio to grow grapes and make wine. Surprisingly good wine, actually, from some rather surprising grape varieties.

Well, there’s more on Dr. Dave in this Wine Enthusiast Online story entitled “Sandusky Surprise” written by — of all the crazy things — me. Later in the summer or early fall there will another very different piece on Kraus in Wines & Vines magazine, which, as you’ll recall, is edited by Miami County native Jim Gordon, who, in turn, writes the Unreserved wine blog for Wine Enthusiast Online.

Are you as confused as I am? Maybe we need a psychiatrist.

We can find one in some vineyards up in Sandusky.

Cheers!
