Ohio winery relieved after near-miss with tornado
I received the following email from Bill Skvarla at Harmony Hill Winery in Bethel, Ohio — a winery about 30 miles east of Cincinnati that we told you all about a couple of years ago :
Hello all. Patti and I are beginning to believe that there is never a dull moment on ‘The Hill’. For those of you who witnessed it, the core of that rotating cloud that we all stared into of as it passed over the winery was indeed a tornado. It touched down minutes later about 3/4 mile northeast of the farm in the baseball fields on Fossyl Drive. That’s as close to a tornado as I ever want to be. Thank you to all of those who helped usher our guests into the wine cave, and helped secure the winery furniture and umbrellas…….. ALWAYS SOMETHING NEW ON THE HILL!
Who knew that wine cave that Bill built would also double as a tornado shelter? Scary stuff …

Troy wine bar closes
TROY — Cork-N-Vine, a wine bar and retail wine shop at 1737 W Main St. in Troy, has closed.
A deli affiliated with the wine shop, Dagwood’s Deli, 1741 W Main St., also closed.
The Troy Cork-N-Vine’s closing has no impact on the Cork & Vine Wine Market & Lounge at 3452 York Commons Blvd. near Miller Lane in northern Montgomery County, according to Shawn Grow, co-owner of the Butler Twp. business who was involved initially with the Troy wine bar.
Angela Crespo, who co-owned the two Troy businesses, said the closing had “a lot to do with the economy.” Of the wine bar, Crespo said, “I tried to hold onto it as long as I could … I love the area, love the people — our regulars were great.”
Crespo said she couldn’t comment in detail about the businesses because of legal issues, but she said there is a “possibility of Cork-N-Vine reopening sometime in the future.”
