Summary
Arnie Esterer and Tim Hubbard were taking a big gamble back in 1968 when they started their vineyard and
winery. With guidance from Dr. Konstantin Frank, Arnie and Tim built a winery that has led the way for the next
generation of European-style vinifera growers and winemakers in Ohio. Markko Vineyard did not happen
overnight. It was years of trials and errors, successes and failures and much collaboration and learning. This is
the story of one remarkable man, Arnie Esterer, and his passion to produce only the best vinifera wines in the
Conneaut Creek region of the Lake Erie appellation where the critics said it could not be done. Clifford Annis
captures the untold story of Arnie Esterer, the “father of vinifera in Ohio” and Markko Vineyard in Arnie’s own
words.
