Fine Lake Erie Wines of Distinction
Today, Joseph's son Robert, his wife, Kathie, and their son, Mario carry on the family tradition at Mazza Vineyards in North East, Pennsylvania, one of the premiere wineries in the Lake Erie Wine Region. The winery, built by Bob and his brother, Frank, in 1973, resembles a Mediterranean structure nestled among acres of rolling vineyards. Step inside the spacious tasting room, and you'll experience an Old-World ambience. The Mazzas chose the Lake Erie Region for it's cool offshore breezes, sandy soil and the plateau-like topography, which creates an ideal growing condition for classic wine grapes and European hybrids. While 'lake effect' is sometimes associated with harsh winter snows, the same effect produces a moderating climate in the spring and fall. You would expect the winery to offer an Italian vintage, but the region is more suited to Germanic varieties. So, from the very beginning, Mazza Vineyards set out to make exceptional wines in the Germanic style. Once at the winery, guided tours of the wine cellars show the great care they exercise in making their wines-from grape selection at harvest time through crushing, pressing, fermenting, aging and bottling. You will learn of the entire winemaking process and the delicate decisions of the winemaker as he blends modern science with this ancient art. Mazza Vidal Blanc, Niagara, Country Blush and County Red are now available statewide through 650 wine and spirit stores. Place your order for these and other varieties by calling, toll free, 1-800-796-WINE or visit the Mazza Wine Shop at 2006 West 8th Street in Erie. Also visit Mazza Vineyards' sister wineries, the South Shore Wine Company in North East, PA, and Mazza Chautauqua Cellars in Mayville, NY. |
