Says â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Moving Ohio Forwardâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC; reduces abandoned houses DEAR EDITOR: he mortgage foreclosure crisis has affected many Ohio cities and towns, leaving behind the blight from desolate and deteriorating houses, which hinder their economic growth and recovery. To help affected communities, my office created a $75 million grant program to help pay for the demolition of run down and abandoned properties that are bringing down neighborhoods. The Moving Ohio Forward Demolition Program is funded through a state and federal settlement with the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s five largest mortgage services over foreclosure abuses, fraud, and unacceptable mortgage practices. The grant program has already helped hard-hit neighborhoods begin to heal: Empty and ignored for eight years, a two-story eyesore in Newark â&#x20AC;&#x201C; dubbed by neighbors as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the bird houseâ&#x20AC;? because it was so overrun by pigeons â&#x20AC;&#x201C; was finally torn down. A Richland County fair housing official expressed confidence that demolishing some of his areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blighted structures will help curb the rash of recent arson fires among Mansfieldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vacant properties. And, commissioners in Fayette County expect the clearing out of some dilapidated dwellings in New Hope will, like the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current sewer system renovations, improve the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quality of life. No exact figure is available, but the number of vacant and abandoned properties in need of immediate demolition throughout Ohio is conservatively estimated to be around 100,000. We encouraged lead entities such as land banks or local governments to apply for the grants on behalf of all Ohio counties. Total funding available to each county is based on the percentage of foreclosure filings in each county between 2008 and 2011 (the period of the settlement agreement) divided by the settlement amount of $75 million. Last week I traveled to Youngstown to see the demolition program in action. It was great to watch an eyesore being torn down. As I have said across the state, the real victims of the mortgage crisis are the people who live in these neighborhoods, who paid their mortgage and paid their taxes, but yet the house next door is abandoned and rundown. These neighbors see the value of their house decline and their kids have to grow up in that environment. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s get rid of the cancer, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s get these houses out, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s knock them down to rebuild our neighborhoods.

MAHONING VALLEY

WKTL may no longer be fixture of FM dial in Valley BY EMMALEE C. TORISK METRO MONTHLY STAFF WRITER

arid Watson, a graduate of the Struthers High School Class of ’99, hasn’t lived in his hometown for nearly seven years. Instead, he’s lived in places like South Korea, Italy and Afghanistan, working as a U.S. Air Force broadcast journalist — much like Robin Williams’ character in the 1987 movie “Good Morning, Vietnam.” And now, stationed in Las Vegas, Watson is a video production specialist for the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, which he refers to as “the most awesome military jet demonstration team on the planet.” None of this, Watson said, could’ve happened without WKTL, or without “two simple years at SHS in that radio classroom and D.J. booth.” It was the best experience he had in high school. So, when he received a text message from his mom on July 17, relaying news of a meeting that evening to discuss “the possible all-out sale” of the radio station owned by the Struthers Board of Education, Watson knew he had to take action from 1,800 miles away. He started the “Save WKTL” Facebook page that day. Two weeks later, the page boasted close to 300 “likes.” “I wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for that radio station. I wouldn’t,” Watson said. “The entire genesis of where I am today starts with WKTL. Flat out. Bottom line.” Watson said the news about WKTL’s uncertain future didn’t surprise him, though; he’s noticed the dismantling of the high school’s vocational radio program and the station itself, particularly in the past year. For more than four decades, WKTL (whose call letters stand for “Key To Learning”) served as “a unique laboratory to put classroom techniques to use” — and also held the designation of being the first high school all studentstaffed radio station in the U.S., according to the Struthers City Schools’ website. But the 2010-2011 academic year marked the last hurrah for the school’s radio classes and, as a result, student-run programming on WKTL 90.7 FM. The program’s downfalls included increased course credit requirements for high school graduation (which, coupled with declining student interest, led to diminished enrollment in the program) and the retirement of its sole instructor, said Struthers Superintendent Robert Rostan. Now, for essentially “six and a half days a week,” WKTL simulcasts programming from WAPS 91.3 FM, or “The Summit,” which is owned by the Akron Public Schools system, Rostan said. But The Summit’s programming, he said, is just “a placeholder.” Saturdays on WKTL, however, still be-

gin at 8 a.m. with big band music and end at 11 p.m. with Slovak music — and they feature, in the intervening hours, 90-minute blocks devoted to volunteer-driven ethnic programming. Rostan estimated that the vast majority of the 40-some people who attended July 17’s board meeting did so out of concern for Saturday’s ethnic programming. He’s also received feedback through phone calls and letters. Although he appreciates “their interest and desire to keep it going,” he explained that “neither one of our current programming formats really meet the needs of the Struthers City Schools and Struthers High School.” “There is no benefit to Struthers High School, which is where it all started,” Rostan said. Rostan said that he and board members had discussed “in one form or another” what to do with WKTL, even prior to discontinuing radio classes. However, he explained that “it’s time to start having these discussions publicly.” That’s why, despite being in “the infant stages” of discussion, the July 17 meeting featured an informational presentation by a representative from Patrick Communications, a Maryland-based brokerage firm that is, according to its website, “the nation’s top broker of noncommercial stations.” Rostan said the purpose of this presentation was “just to discuss the procedures and

The 2010-2011 academic year marked the last hurrah for the school’s radio classes and, as a result, student-run programming on WKTL 90.7 FM. what we might look to do” with WKTL’s license. If Rostan recommends to board members that they agree to a contract with Patrick Communications, they’d then put the license out for bid, he said. “The brokerage firm would handle the bid,” he said. “They’d advertise. They’d handle the bidding process. They’d come back to us and say, ‘Here’s what we have. We could agree to sell the license or not.” The board didn’t decide whether or not to sell WKTL during its next meeting on Aug. 21. The only decision regarding WKTL that board members have made so far is to wait until early November to hear anywhere from one to three proposals from interested parties, Rostan said. These potential parties are The Summit, Youngstown State University and WKTL’s ethnic programming hosts. “We’re waiting till then,” Rostan said. [There will be] no discussion or anything regarding the license before November.” Rostan acknowledged that WKTL is a valuable asset, but made clear that one thing is definite: “We can no longer offer

high school classes in radio.” “We have to look at what does the station do for the school district? I’m not sure that I’m able to answer that question,” Rostan said. “If there’s a source of revenue [from the sale of WKTL’s license], whether it be long term or short term, is it something that would benefit the district better?” Dennis Spisak — board member, host of WKTL’s “Slovak Show” and alumnus of the high school’s vocational radio program — said revenue from WKTL’s sale would go into the school district’s general fund and “basically help pay for operational expenses.” He explained that WKTL’s license, if put up for bid, could sell for anywhere from $350,000 to $900,000, according to figures provided by Patrick Communications. This estimate, he said, is based upon WKTL’s potential listening audience of between 350,000 and 450,000 people. “You can get anywhere from $1 to $2.50 per person,” Spisak said. “But it all depends on whatever [the] potential buyer thinks it’s worth.” Spisak said his appraisal of the station’s financial worth is on the lower end of the estimate. He doubts that WKTL, a noncommercial station, would sell for $500,000, primarily because a local comSEE WKTL, PAGE 9

National Institutes of Health expands safe infant sleep effort

adult bed, without any soft bedding such as blankets or quilts. Safe to Sleep also emphasizes breast feeding infants when possible, which has been associated with reduced SIDS risk, and eliminating such risks to infant health as overheating, exposure to tobacco smoke, and a mother’s use of alcohol and illicit drugs. “In recent years, we’ve learned that many of the risk factors for SIDS are similar to those for other sleep-related causes of infant death,” said Alan E. Guttmacher, M.D., Director of the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD),

the NIH institute which sponsors Safe to Sleep. “Placing infants on their backs to sleep and providing them with a safe sleep environment for every sleep time reduces the risk for SIDS as well as death from other causes, such as suffocation.” A new one-page fact sheet, “What does a safe sleep environment look like,” shows how to provide a safe sleep environment, and lists ways that parents and caregivers can reduce the risk for SIDS. The fact sheet is available at http://nichd.nih.gov/publications/pubs_ details.cfm?from=&pubs_id=5795. The NICHD's new brochure, Safe Sleep for Your Baby, provides more detailed in-

formation on ways that parents and caregivers can reduce the risk of SIDS and other sleep-related causes of infant death. The Safe Sleep for Your Baby brochure, as well as the one-page fact sheet, are available for order at 1-800-505-CRIB (2742) or at http://www.nichd.nih.gov/SIDS. In the next month, new Safe to Sleep materials will be available in Spanish. Additional materials will be available for the African-American and American Indian/ Alaska Native communities, which have had higher SIDS rates. Also, a Safe Sleep for Your Baby DVD will be available for order and the new Safe to Sleep campaign website will be launched in October. Since the 1970s, the NICHD has conducted and supported research to understand SIDS and identify ways to reduce its occurrence. The original Back to Sleep Campaign was based on the American Academy of Pediatrics'(AAP) original recommendation for back sleeping. The new Safe to Sleep Campaign seeks to inform parents and caregivers of the AAP's revised recommendations for reducing SIDS as well as other sleep-related causes of infant death. The NICHD also has enlisted the aid of spokespersons around the country for its Safe to Sleep Champions Initiative. Safe to Sleep Champions include infant and family health advocates, community leaders, and pediatricians. They will work with media in their areas to draw attention to the problem of SIDS and other sleep-related causes of infant death. NICHD Safe to Sleep Champions will target outreach in areas with higher rates of SIDS and other sleep-related causes of infant death.

As long as they have a breath, they still listen. … They turn the station on first thing Saturday morning, and, basically, they keep it on all day and listen to a variety of different ethnic programs.” Despite receiving a flood of letters, phone calls, emails and Facebook messages, not one has urged the board to sell WKTL, Spisak said, adding that the station is “basically the last oasis” of ethnic programming. It’s something that just isn’t commercially viable. No station is going to get rich off playing polkas, he said. But that’s why it’s so necessary. Plus, the station — at least in terms of the Federal Communications Commission’s purpose of noncommercial educational licenses — is “still doing what it was intended to do way back in 1965,” Spisak said. “[They’re] public trusts that belong to the American people and are leased out to meet the informational needs of the community,” he said. “So, in that aspect, we’re still doing that. We’re meeting the informational needs of our ethnic community; we still have listeners.” WKTL is the only station in the area that provides that particular service to the

public, said Terry Check, host of WKTL’s “Souvenirs of Hungary” program. His program, which begins at noon on Saturdays, has been a staple of the station’s lineup since Mother’s Day 1979. “If they cut that off, we’re done. There’s nothing,” Check said. “This is the only music and only news that thousands of people [have]. This is their only link to their music and events that their groups have. Their only advertising that they can do is through the station. This is their only way. … There’s no organization here that has the money to go to commercial radio and buy a slot to do their music.” But Check said he understands the school district’s dilemma, in the sense that WKTL without student-run programming is “a liability” and “an expense that’s not serving any students at all.” All he wants is time — and the “chance to maybe be able to do something” to preserve WKTL and its programs. “There could possibly be some other solutions out there that could make it a lot better and make … everybody happy,” Check said. “Once the station’s gone, it’s

gone. It isn’t going to come back. … We do this because it’s necessary.” As a result, determining WKTL’s fate is a tough call, Spisak said. “I understand the financial aspect of the money, and I understand that we no longer teach students per se in classes. I also understand the other part about the listenership, and the station still means a lot to a lot of people,” he said. “Is it still serving an interest of the general public, or do you just want to get rid of it because it’s no longer used as a classroom facility?” But to Watson, the loss of WKTL would, unequivocally, “be an absolute shame.” “If it made this much of an impact on my life, I know it will do the same for others. I feel like the people who are making the decisions … are the people who don’t realize what a valuable asset it is. It’s a powerful tool. … It’s to be respected,” he said. “And that’s the point of having this Facebook page. If I can get some folks to see it, to recognize it, to take heed to the fact that there are a lot of people who care about this station, then great.”

FROM THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH

he U.S. national campaign to reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome has entered a new phase and will now encompass all sleep-related, sudden unexpected infant deaths, officials of the National Institutes of Health recently announced. The campaign, which has been known as the Back to Sleep Campaign, has been renamed the Safe to Sleep Campaign. The NIH-led Back to Sleep Campaign began in 1994, to educate parents, caregivers, and health care providers about ways to reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). The campaign name was derived from the recommendation to place healthy infants on their backs to sleep, a practice proven to reduce SIDS risk. SIDS is the sudden death of an infant under 1 year of age that cannot be explained, even after a complete death scene investigation, autopsy, and review of the infant's health history. Sudden unexpected infant death (SUID) includes all unexpected infant deaths: those due to SIDS, and as well as those from other causes. Many SUID cases are due to such causes as accidental suffocation and entrapment, such as when an infant gets trapped between a mattress and a wall, or when bedding material presses on or wraps around an infant’s neck. In addition to stressing the placement of infants on their backs for all sleep times, the Safe to Sleep Campaign emphasizes other ways to provide a safe sleep environment for infants. This includes placing infants to sleep in their own safe sleep environment and not on an

WKTL, FROM PAGE 9 mercial station with a greater coverage area recently sold for that amount. In addition, if WKTL’s license is sold outright, Spisak said, “there’s no guarantee to the public in terms of what programming will be … [and] technically whoever buys the license can do any kind of programming they want.” “We can’t put any stipulation about keeping ethnic music on the air on Saturdays,” he said. “Once we sell it and they hand over the check, … it’s theirs, and we’re out of the picture 100 percent.” That’s why Spisak said he “would hate to see the school system sell the station.” Instead, he favors a local marketing agreement, which would involve the board’s leasing of WKTL to groups or organizations. This agreement, too, could permit the stipulation that ethnic programming could remain on Saturdays, he said. “A lot of people still like us, still listen to us. They don’t want to see it go,” Spisak said. “We’ve had people that have been basically listening now for over 40 years. …

Tröegs Brewery of Hershey, Pa. announces fall seasonal beer Tröegs Brewery last month announced the release of their seasonal brew, Dead Reckoning Porter. The autumn brew will be available throughout Tröegs’ eight-state distribution network. Dead Reckoning Porter will be available in 12-ounce bottles and 1/2-barrel kegs. “We feel that Dead Reckoning is a perfect fall seasonal for us, and we’re glad it has become a regular addition to our portfolio,” said Chris Trogner, co-owner of Tröegs Brewery. “It makes for a great segue between Sunshine Pils and The Mad Elf. It’s a beer to savor and enjoy during the colder months of fall.” Dead Reckoning has since been included in the Tröegs Anthology No. 2 variety packages as the seasonal offering for the months of August through October. “The coffee and cocoa characteristics typical of the style are definitely apparent,” said John Trogner, co-owner of Tröegs Brewery. “However, it’s quite a robust porter. The hop bitterness is pretty assertive, which gives the flavor plenty of sharp, earthy tones.” Founded by brothers Chris and John Trogner in 1996, Tröegs Brewery is a small, family-owned specialty brewery that started selling beer in 1997. Located in Central Pennsylvania, Tröegs beers are distributed in Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey, Delaware, Virginia, New York, Ohio, Massachusetts and Washington, DC.

Wine Guy provides roundup of recent tastings in Valley O

ur sizzling summer provided a number of hot wine events for eager wine drinkers looking for suitable wines to go with the unseasonably warm temperatures. Springfield Grille held a unique tasting featuring the wines of Cutting Edge Selections distributor and seafood selections from Curtze Food Service of Erie, Pa. Curtze’s Liam Kelly attended and led the diners through a delicious five-course dinner featuring outstanding seafood selections paired to delicious wines from Cutting Edge. Charred summer corn broth and clams were paired to a 2011 Ponga Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough, New Zealand. Bright fresh citrus and melon flavors paired deliciously with the savory corn broth and clams. Our next wine sampling was a 2010 Gustav Adolf Schmitt Riesling Spatelese from Rheinhessen, Germany. Ripe pear and apple flavors and a clean off-dry finish made this a fine choice for the pan-seared scallops wrapped in phyllo dough perched atop candied pineapple slices. Refreshingly light yet filling, this pairing is what summer dining is all about. Our salad course was grilled marinated calamari primavera with onion, squash, carrots and greens. This textbook summer dish was partnered with a glass of 2011 Hermanos Torrentes from Cafayate, Argentina. Lush tropical fruit flavors followed by a clean textured finish were just the answer for the crunchy calamari-laden salad. If you’re a regular reader of this column, you know I’m a big fan of salmon, so it won’t come as a surprise that I was in heaven when our main course of Scottish salmon papillote (baked in a pouch) was served. The Springfield staff chose a 2010 Alchemist Pinot Noir from the Willamette Valley of Oregon to go with this delicious entrée. Lush aromas of dark cherry-tinged with leather followed by a long seamless finish made this a memorable food and wine pairing. Our finishing wine was the 2007 Marques de Gelida Brut Exclusive from the Penedes region of Spain. It was served with a piece of “chocolate decadence cake” set upon vanilla crème sauce and fresh berries. The Gelida Cava is a unique blend of indigenous Macabeo (35 percent), Xarel-lo (30 percent), Parellada (20 percent) and international Chardonnay (15 percent). This exquisite estate-grown Cava displayed a floral yeasty nose with gobs of citrus fruit flavors. It was a fine finishing touch to a great food and wine event. I want to thank Springfield Grille for an opportunity to talk with the knowledgeable Liam Kelly and learn fore about fine seafood and how it comes to our kitchen. In late June, Rachel’s Westchester Restaurant hosted a Wine and Dine Ohio event featuring Ashtabula County’s outstanding Ferrante Winery. On hand for this tasting was Ferrante’s Jim Arbaczewski, who gave a knowledgeable talk on all the wines poured, and answered questions table-side for the entire evening. I’ve sampled this winery’s offerings for many years, and they just get better every vintage. They work with estate-grown cool-climate grapes that provide fragrant, juicy wines that age amazingly well but are ready to drink immediately. Our first wine was the award-winning 2011 Golden Bunches Dry Riesling GRV (Grand River Valley). Peachy citrus flavors lead to a long off-dry finish that worked nicely with Rachel’s delicious stuffed mushrooms for an opening treat. Our next wine was Ferrante’s 2011 Signature Series GRV Pinot Grigio. This wine was awarded the “Best White Wine” at the American Fine Wine Competition in Boca Raton, Fla. Creamy pear and citrus flavors follow to a melon-tinged finish that worked wonderfully with Chef Steveo’s delicious Maryland crab cakes. Our next wine was the 2010 GRV Signature Series Chardonnay. This cool-climate beauty reminds me of great white Burgundy at a fraction of the cost. Coming in a 13 percent alcohol with crisp acidity, this tankfermented Chardonnay (partially barrel aged) displays textbook Chardonnay fruit flavors with just a whisper of oak on the finish. The people that ordered Rachel’s signature shrimp Alfredo

Jim Arbaczewski of Ferrante Winery at the Wine and Dine Ohio tasting at Rachel's Westchester in Austintown were very happy with this pairing. Our only red wine at this summer event was Ferrante’s outstanding 2009 GRV Signature Series Cabernet Franc. Juicy berry and red fruit flavors tinged with spice made this Chinon (Loire Valley, France) –style red a favorite with the people ordering the New York strip steak hot off Rachel’s grill. Our last wine was Ferrante’s 2010 GRV Vidal Blanc. Lush peach and apricot fruit flavors led to a crisp off-dry finish that made this hybrid a real hit with the honey pistachio crusted salmon. This was a great event featuring wines from Ashtabula, served in a Mahoning County restaurant with diners from all over our Valley able to enjoy them so close to home. Wine and Dine Ohio is going to feature more local wineries at future tastings. On July 26, Wine and Dine Ohio hosted a dinner tasting at Café Cimmento in downtown Youngstown. We featured six Italian wines from Nannicola Imports paired to Cimmento’s exquisite menu selections. Our first wine sampling was the Italo Cescon Prosecco Extra Dry DOC from northern Italy. Lively floral notes and yeasty citrus flavors went hand in hand with Cimmento’s classic Caprese salad (one of the nicest ones I’ve sampled this summer). Our next wine was Cescon’s delicious 2009 Riesling IGT. Intense fresh fruit flavors led to a crisp off-dry finish that worked very well with the colossal lump crabmeat salad on the appetizer menu. The Cescon Riesling would be a fine choice for upcoming end-of-summer and holiday meals. The 2006 Cescon Pinot Grigio IGT from the

Rachel’s Westchester recently featured Ashtabula County’s outstanding Ferrante Winery. On hand for this tasting was Ferrante’s Jim Arbaczewski, who gave a knowledgeable talk on all the wines poured. Veneto region of northern Italy was our next summer-style wine. Straw colored with citrus and peach flavors, it finishes crisp with a hint of spice and orange peel. Cimmento’s signature Tuscan salad topped with blackened chicken was a fine choice for this tasty Pinot Grigio. Our final white wine choice is a real favorite of mine. Smooth and clean-tasting, the 2006 Cescon Chardonnay had diners raving about the Farfalle (bowtie pasta) Primavera in Romano-basil cream sauce. Easy drinking with citrus and apple flavors, it finishes long with a hint of butter and hazelnut. The first red of the evening was the 2008 Cescon Pinot Nero IGT. Medium red in color with elegant spice-tinged red fruit flavors, it was a real favorite for those who ordered the capellini al fresco. Grilled chicken or veal would work well with this charming medium-bodied red. The last pouring of the evening was the 2008 Cescon Cabernet Sauvignon DOC. Deep ruby in color with vibrant red fruit flavors tinged with spice and pepper, it was just the answer for Cimmento’s fine selection of grilled steaks and chicken. On Tuesday, September 18, Wine and Dine Ohio

will be at Roberto’s in downtown Youngstown for a limited seating event featuring great food and wine, and on Thursday, October 4 we’ll be at Salvatore’s Italian Grill. At local store tastings, I found a number of unique and tasty wines for summer enjoyment. My first pick hails from the Cotes de Gascogne region of France. The 2011 Montgravet ($9.99 – Michael Charles Premier Wines, Elm Road) is produced from 100 percent Columbard grapes. Bright lemon and citrus flavors and a very refreshing finish will keep you coming back for more. This is one of the finest summer wines that I have tried this year, so stock up soon (try it with Thanksgiving turkey for a real change of pace). If you’re looking for a tasty inexpensive Zinfandel for barbecues and grilling, give the Ivan Tamas Estate Zinfandel ($10.99 – Wine Styles of Howland) a try. Rich and jammy fruit flavors followed by a clean spice-tinged finish make this a great choice for barbecued ribs or chicken. Dessert wines are a tough pick for summer drinking, but I found the Tomasello Winery Blueberry Dessert Red a real treat ($9.99 - Vintage Estate in Boardman). Off dry with blueberry flavors spilling out everywhere, this wine would be a real hit with vanilla ice cream. If you’re looking for an inexpensive sparkling rose for summer toasting that won’t burn a hole in your wallet, give the Francois Montand Sparkling Brut Rose a try ($19.99- Michael Charles Premier Wine in Howland). Bursting with cherry and raspberry flavors, this crisp and dry bubbly finishes your favorite veal dish. Charlie’s Fine Wines of Howland’s Mike Lapmardo will be teaching a wine class (“Enjoying Wine Intelligently”) through the Kent State University Trumbull branch. Classes will be held at the wine shop from 6-9 p.m. on the following Tuesdays: Sept. 18, 25, Oct. 2 and 9. Call the shop at 330-856-9463 or watch this column for more details to follow. On Aug. 4, Edwin Olivieri, co-owner of New Zealand’s Jules Taylor Winery, made a personal appearance at Lapmardo’s shop. Jules Taylor has a very nice stable of affordable wines that will appeal even to the most finicky buyer. I was really impressed with their new 2011 Gruner Veltliner from Marlborough, New Zealand. Peach and nectarine flavors with a hint of spice on the finish make this a great choice for summer salads topped with chicken or salmon. Also, next month I will report on Station Square Ristorante’s earning the acclaimed Wine Spectator’s Award Selection. Wine and Dine Ohio’s upcoming tastings will be Tuesday, Sept. 18 at Roberto’s in downtown Youngstown; and Thursday, Oct. 4 at Salvatore’s Italian Grill in Howland. To make a reservation or get on the email list for Wine and Dine Ohio event information, call 330-651-8676 and leave a message, or contact us through the Wine and Dine Ohio website (www. wineanddineohio.com). Alberini’s in Niles will hold their Splendor in the Glass tasting on Sunday, Sept. 30. Second Harvest Food Bank will have a benefit tasting 5-8 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 7 at Stambaugh Auditorium. Other upcoming tastings include the Springfield Grille monthly wine dinner (call restaurant for date); Charlie’s Premier Wines of Howland, every Saturday; Wine Styles, every other week on Thursday, Friday and Saturday; Vintage Estate, third Saturday tasting; and Michael Charles Premier Wines on Elm Road, second Saturday tasting. If your restaurant, shop or charity event is having an upcoming wine tasting, please email me a month in advance at jmwineguy@gmail.com. I look forward to seeing you at events around the Valley.
