Ohio’s wine industry was built on sweet wines from varietals like Niagara, Concord and Catawba and although winemakers are introducing more European-style dry wines, Ohioans still love their sweet wines. This sugary little white wine is 100 percent Niagara and labeled and named after Edith, the last of 130 dairy cows to be sold from Maize Valley’s dairy herd. Sips of sweet red wines are wonderful with chocolate desserts.

Buttery Shortbreads

One of the best ways to showcase the taste of naturally sweet pure butter is in a shortbread cookie. Simple to make, they require only four ingredients and a light touch. Minimal handling of the dough will reward you with a finely pored cookie that has a tender, crumbly texture.

Affogato

An Italian dessert, affogato is a coffee float for grownups that’s equally decadent and simple. Use the best ice cream you can find as well as a premium brew like Crimson Cup, roasted and ground in Columbus.
