A Legacy of Wine in Cincinnati | Gastro Obscura

Kate MacDonald is on a mission to make wine that connects to its place, and that’s just what she’s done with Skeleton Root. This winery was created to resurrect American heritage grape varieties that filled her hometown of Cincinnati in the mid-1800s, starting with the wines that put America on the map: dry still white Catawba and Catawba bubbly.

Will we ever get the real Atlas Obscura back, or did you already cover every other obscure thing?
