Eat It Up #71: Jonathan Oakes

This week on the podcast we are talking to Jonathan Oakes, winemaker at Leonard Oakes Estate Winery. Tommy and I took the drive up to Medina and recorded this podcast in Leonard Oakes tasting room, we had a really fun talk while sampling a couple of wines. We talked about how Jonathan found himself back on the farm, starting a winery from scratch, the Niagara wine region, the rise in popularity of their Steampunk Cider and what it’s like being one of Buffalo’s “Most Beautiful People”.
