State Representative Casey Kozlowski (R-Pierpont) honored two wineries from within the 99th Ohio House District with resolutions on the House floor, highlighting their selection as winners of the Director’s Choice Award.

Old Firehouse Winery and Ferrante Winery were presented with the award from the Ohio Grape Industries Committee of the Ohio Department of Agriculture. A resolution was also made for Laurello Vineyard winning the award. Four winners were chosen in total from across the state, and three of the four are from within Representative Kozlowski’s district.

“I’m very proud to present House resolutions in honor of these wineries,” Kozlowski said. “Not only is our area of the state represented well in the high quality of their wines, but also in the wonderful contribution that these wineries make to our local economy.”

The winning wineries were chosen by a tasting panel on behalf of Ohio Department of Agriculture Director Jim Zehringer.
