Flint Ridge Vineyard & Winery

Welcome to the web home of Flint Ridge Vineyard & Winery here in the Flint Ridge region of Southeastern Ohio.  We are the Jahnes Family and our vineyard and winery is our attempt to draw out the beauty in a played out hill farm, breathing new life into it by first being attentive to it and then working in concert with it. When my Dad moved to West Virginia, he thought it would be simpler for folks to pronounce if he hardened the 'J' sound.  All our friends know us by the Americanized 'JAW-ness' pronunciation, and we are pleased by either pronunciation!  My seventh grade geography teacher pronounced my name Jo-HAN (like the 'a' in 'hand') - sen.  I'll never forget her and my repeated efforts to correct her.
