About Northern Kentucky

Northern Kentucky, across the Ohio River from Cincinnati, carries a winemaking heritage that dates to the 19th century when the Ohio River Valley was one of America's premier wine regions. Today's producers honor that legacy with Norton and other heritage varieties on the river's rolling southern banks.
