I've been fortunate in recent years to have written about some of my travels, especially those around Ohio. Many of my travel pieces have appeared in AAA's Home & Away Magazine, Journeys Magazine, Discover Ohio and a few other publications.
One of the surprises discovered perhaps five years ago was that Ohio does in fact have its own wine region. Really? Yes, in fact the Ohio Department of Agriculture and Ohio's travel and tourism industry have worked hard in the past decade to help increase awareness and foster appreciation for Ohio's wine industry. You can learn a lot more by looking at the information online developed by Ohio Grape Industries at http://www.ohiograpes.org/
When you see the diversity and location of some of our wineries across Ohio, you might consider something from Ohio's wineries as a good holiday gift opportunity. The web site also has some information on selecting wine to enjoy with certain meals. Ohio's wine heritage runs deep as the greater Cincinnati area, at one time, was the nation's wine capital.
Another good gift idea, and certainly a sobering one at that, is to consider giving a AAA gift membership as a new or renewal membership. Many of us can reflect on our lifetime of driving experience and well remember how thankful we were to have a AAA roadside assistance membership or how much we wished at the time we did have such a membership.
Lastly, an item in my Sunday paper stated that if a person were to buy all the gifts contained in the "Twelve Days of Christmas", the entire pricetag now would top $100,000. For most of us, that would be money well spent on something other than gold rings, French hens and a partridge in a pear tree.
