MAHONING VALLEY

Arby's founder discusses legacy of chain that began in Youngstown BY MARK C. PEYKO METRO MONTHLY EDITOR

hen you think of fast food in the 1960s, a few names come to mind – McDonald’s, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Arby’s. McDonald’s, led by the innovative Ray Kroc, became a standard-bearer for developing products aimed at a youthful, increasingly mobile America. Colonel Sanders, whose face emblazoned buckets of fried chicken, represented a product inextricably associated with its founder. But Arby’s was different. The chain’s original stores were upscale and understated. Although its founders, brothers Forrest and Leroy Raffel, were present in the day-to-day operations, they were not widely known. They didn’t use clowns or cartoon characters to attract station wagons full of kids. The company slogan, “Arby’s Roast Beef Sandwich is Delicious,” seemed simple, but when stated on a massive, blinking, 40-foot neon sign, it became an unquestioned marketplace fact. Surprisingly, a lot of Mahoning Valley residents don’t know that Arby’s was created 50 years ago in suburban Youngstown. The Raffel brothers, owners of a local restaurant supply company, opened the first Arby’s on Boardman-Poland Road in 1964. Arby’s, derived from the initials of Raffel Brothers, was headquartered on Colonial Drive in Liberty. Although the Raffels sold the company to beverage giant Royal Crown Cola in the 1970s, many early offerings were developed locally, including iconic roast beef sandwich and Jamocha Shake. And local companies, like Schwebel’s and the Peskin Sign Company, factored in the company’s early development. Now, 50 years later, it’s surprising how much of the brothers’ imprint remains on the restaurant chain. Even today, dining at Arby’s remains an adult experience. A recent program, hosted by the Mahoning Valley Historical Society last July, brought surviving founder Leroy Raffel to Ohio for a special anniversary celebration. Accompanied by his wife, Shirley “Shankey” Raffel, Leroy marked the chain’s golden anniversary, which brought together former employees, franchise owners and current corporate brass. That night, Raffel spoke candidly – sometimes with great emotion – about the company he created with his late brother, Forrest. The following interview was conducted prior to the event by Mark C. Peyko, Metro Monthly Editor and Publisher. Metro Monthly: Thank you, Mr. Raffel and welcome. Thanks for talking to Metro Monthly and "Homeplate." We’re going to

start with a few basic questions that I have. McDonald’s had a burger menu. Kentucky Fried Chicken had poultry. But what made you do roast beef with Arby’s? Leroy Raffel: Well, we wanted to do something different. Nobody was doing roast beef and that’s what we did. Metro Monthly: Arby’s was different than its peers in the marketplace. For one, it seemed like it was aimed at an adult market. Was that intentional? Raffel: Absolutely. It was always aimed at adults. Metro Monthly: When Arby’s was started, westerns were pretty big on TV and you also

had Bonanza and Ponderosa as restaurants. How did the popularity of westerns help you in your marketing of the restaurant? Raffel: We never considered that. I don’t think it had any bearing at all. We did have somewhat of a western theme in our original store, and, of course, the western hat was a western hat. Metro Monthly: What did your family and friends think when you came with this idea that you wanted to this restaurant? Raffel: They thought we were nuts because we were in the restaurant-equipment business and supporting our families and educating our children and in order to develop

Arby’s, we had to drop the equipment business and go into Arby’s, which was a new start-up. So by the time we opened the first store, we had already destroyed our previous business and our families didn’t think too much of it, but that’s what we did. Metro Monthly: Describe what the world was like when you and your brother started Arby’s. What was the whole landscape of restaurants and fast food like then? Raffel: Well, fast foods, although they had been around for quite some time, were not as important in the economy as they are today. McDonald’s was a strictly carry-out operation; you stepped up into the store, but there were no seats and they sold a hamburger for 15 cents. And Kentucky Fried Chicken was a menu item in restaurants. And they had not yet started their independent stores. Burger King was around – they weren’t around here very much – so I can’t tell you about them. But it was quite revolutionary to be starting with a 69-cent sandwich against McDonald’s at 15 cents. Metro Monthly: The price was so much higher. What did you do to sell that? Raffel: Obviously, we determined that people liked a thinly sliced roast beef sandwich on a nice bun and we felt that they would pay the price for it. We priced it according to the cost, so we had to get 69 cents. We couldn’t get 15 cents for a roast beef sandwich. But people really were enthusiastic about it and we did a very good business. Metro Monthly: What did each brother bring to the business in skill and temperament? Raffel: My brother was a graduate of the Cornell Hotel School. I was a graduate of Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, which is business. So he was the food man and I was more on the business end and we always complemented each other – with an e, complemented – and he took care of his end of the business and I took care of mine. We never had a hostile disagreement in all the many years. Metro Monthly: Who designed your first restaurants? Was that local or did you have a national company? Raffel: We had been in the restaurantequipment business. We designed restaurants – that’s what we did. So we did the basic design. However, we hired an architect to design a building around our concept. Metro Monthly: Your goals for image and branding – was that all from the beginning stated in what you wanted to do? Raffel: Absolutely. We felt that if you were going to get a higher price for a higherquality product, the building had to be in

ARBY’S, From Page 7 accordance with that concept. So the building itself was really upscale. It had a natural sandstone wall in the back, a curved ceiling with recessed lights. There was piped-in music. There was a glass-enclosed rotisserie with a beautiful roast revolving. Our counter attendants were attired in chef’s uniforms. And you walked into this place and there was sound, music and beauty. Metro Monthly: Another element of the restaurant is the iconic Arby’s sign. It’s my understanding that a local sign company designed that for you. Did they design it or did they just make it for you? Raffel: We designed the logo and they made a sign using the logo. The logo was the hat that said “Arby’s.” Metro Monthly: The sign was so much bigger than a lot of other things out there. Raffel: It was 40 foot high. Metro Monthly: Forty-feet high. And how long was it before ... Raffel: Approximately. Metro Monthly: Approximately 40-feet high. Raffel: It was exactly 40-feet high. Metro Monthly: How long was it before sign ordinances and a change in company direction changed how the 40-foot sign was designed? Raffel: Well, in those years there weren’t too many sign ordinances. That came later. So if you were to build a store today, you could not have a 40-foot sign. Metro Monthly: I was talking to Lee Schwebel from Schwebel’s and he said they developed the bun for you at Schwebel’s. Raffel: They did. And my brother worked with them, but they did design the bun. It was an egg bun with sesame seeds. And we buttered it and toasted it and it was very good and it complemented the sandwich. Metro Monthly: Did that (the company) take very long to develop? Was that something you went back and forth on? Raffel: We got this idea to start this concept on October 31, 1963 and we opened the first store on July 23, 1964. So, however many months that is - less than 10 months - that’s how long it took. Large chains, when they want to develop a new concept like Olive Garden would spend five years and a lot of money. Metro Monthly: That’s one thing I was wondering, too. Today focus groups determine menus and everything is so segmented now and everyone is reaching a smaller group of people, but what did you do in 1964 to do market research and determine what you were going to serve? Raffel: We did no market research. We ran across a place in Revere Beach, Massachusetts, which is on the ocean. We went there on October 31, 1963 at midnight and, being a summer resort and a cold and rainy night, the only lights on in that entire area were from a place called Kelly’s and people were standing outside in the rain at a window and buying roast beef sandwiches, which was thinly sliced on a nice bun. So we didn’t invent the idea of a

roast beef sandwich, just as McDonald’s didn’t invent the idea of a hamburger on a bun. But that’s where we got the idea. They’re still there and they’re probably the highest-volume fast food outlet in the country. Metro Monthly: One thing that’s a quirky element at Arby’s is the Horsey Sauce. It’s kind of spicy and people weren’t really used to spicy things, I don’t think, in restaurants at the time. Was there a lot of discussion in the company whether or not to use that? Do you remember how that was developed? Raffel: Well, it wasn’t unusual for restaurants to serve horseradish on the side as a condiment with roast beef. So Horsey Sauce is horseradish. So it wasn’t so revolutionary. Metro Monthly: ... As far as food goes – were there things that maybe didn’t work out? That you pulled from the restaurant as far as food items go? Raffel: The original Arby’s only had one sandwich. And no French fries. So there wasn’t much to pull. Metro Monthly: Last question I have for you: You owned Arby’s during a time when American tastes were starting to change and things got bigger and more competitive. I’m wondering, your decision to sell Arby’s at the time that you did, was that spurred more by R.C. Cola approaching you or did you think things were changing and you wanted to ... Raffel: We had gotten into financial trouble, not because our stores weren’t profitable, but we had a public issue that never came out on Wall Street and we were in financial trouble. My brother and I were ousted from the company and new management was brought in by the banks and the company was in Chapter 11. I was invited to come back and run the company when the company was going down the drain and we were able to turn it around very quickly. And I really don’t remember the original question, but I know the answer. What was the question? Metro Monthly: The question was What made you sell the company? Raffel: That was the question. What made us sell the company is we were really chastened by such a traumatic experience and once the company was profitable, then we didn’t want to take the chance of getting into financial trouble again. We felt that we needed a large company with large financial resources behind us and that’s why we sold the company. Metro Monthly: I lied. I have one more question. When you see Arby’s out in the world, what do you think about when you just see how many there are and that you created it? Raffel: Well, the principal pleasure that I get and my brother, who’s not with us anymore, always got was that there were just ordinary people that had these franchises and not only made a good living, but created wealth on into subsequent generations and that was the biggest reward that we had.

Old-school barbecue warms Valley’s heart BY SEAN POSEY METRO MONTHLY CONTRIBUTING WRITER

alking local barbecue is a sure-fire way to stimulate taste buds and memories in equal measure. Long known for diverse ethnic cuisine, the Youngstown-Warren area also holds a special place in the hearts of discriminating barbecue lovers young and old. Though the scene has changed over the years, quality ribs, perfectly smoked meats and delectable sauces are still found in a variety of Valley establishments. The list of classic local barbecue spots is filled with storied names: Garland’s, Foy’s, which had locations on Wilson, Hillman and Market; Jackson’s Grove, which served the Sharon Line-McGuffey Heights area; Young’s in Lincoln Knoll’s Plaza, Eli’s in Warren, and the widely-known Charlie Staple’s. Al Robinson has lived all over Youngstown, and he’s been eating barbecue for over 50 years: “The best barbecue was always Garland’s; the meat just melted off of the bone.” “Next would be Foy’s, especially the Foy’s on Wilson Avenue, and then C. Staples; you always know what you’re going to get.” Charles Currey no longer lives in the area, but he spent decades on the East Side of Youngstown. He retains an almost encyclopedic knowledge of the city, that includes barbecue. “High C’s on High Street had some amazingly rich barbecue sauce.” But the spot was the Pit on Fifth Avenue.” “After going out dancing at the Carousel or some place like that on the North Side, you’d go there and get some ribs with the homemade bis-

Oh, man! They were the best things you ever tasted!” The aroma of barbecue permeated much of Joyce Jones’ early life. A lifelong resident of the South Side, her mother and father operated Dial’s Barbecue and Frozen Custard, located at the corner of Hillman and Woodland during the 1960s and 1970s. “We were open seven days a week and late on Sundays,” said Jones. “The kids leaving Reed’s Arena after skating would come in and eat ribs and play the juke box—four records for a quarter. Dial’s had ribs, rib sandwiches and homemade collard greens that were slow-cooked every day.” A place like Dial’s represented the kind of neighborhood barbecue restaurant that you could find both in Youngstown and Warren at the time. Even though the physical layouts have changed, quality barbecue is alive and well in both cities today. An unimposing storefront on Belmont Avenue’s commercial corridor is home to one of the more recent faces on the local bar-

Rise Pies grand opening Rise Pies. 439 Boardman-Poland Road, Boardman; 330- Rise Pies, an assembly-line style pizzeria franchise had its grand opening in early September. Eddie Muransky of the Muransky Companies is president. The Boardman restaurant, sited in the former locations of Peet’s Coffee and Cold Stone Creamery, is the first in a planned national chain of quick, casual pizza restaurants. “The pizza found in Youngstown is some of the best in the country. It’s what we’re known for locally and can be nationally. So we wanted to create a dining experience that combined the pace of a fast casual restaurant with the taste of Youngstown — and bring it to a national audience,” said Muransky, company president. He enlisted the culinary expertise of Vernon Cesta, of Vernon’s Café and V2, and Cesta’s business partner, Ed Moses of V2. Patrons create their own pizza, which can be ready in less than three minutes. Rise Pies is set to open a second location this month at the new University Town Center in Sarasota, Fla. Representatives say the company has additional lease contracts scheduled around the country.

CLASSIC BARBECUE, From Page 23 becue scene. In business for almost a decade, the Chicken and Rib Cage is prospering under the ownership of Joseph A. Eaton. A former employee at GM Lordstown, Eaton has brought to Youngstown a mastery of barbecue that he picked up during his years in Detroit. Asked what the secret is, Eaton will quickly tell you what makes his product stand out: “We don’t pre-boil, we don’t bake it to death in the oven . ... Our sauce is really the final touch, but you can even eat it without the sauce because it’s smoked properly.” The Chicken and Rib Cage is located at 1504 Belmont Ave., and they are open Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and from 11 a.m. to 11p.m. on Friday and Saturday. Not all of the best barbecue can be found at a permanent location. After spreading through major cities across the country, the food truck craze recently arrived in the Mahoning Valley. Now you can find barbecue on wheels. Blanche Silva started out operating a hot dog stand in downtown Youngstown. After running into vending issues, she bought a used food truck and changed her offerings to soul food and barbecue. “It took me a year to fix it up,” said Silva, who originally offered her barbecue in the kitchen at First Calvary Baptist Church. Now you can find her truck, Willie’s Soul Food on Wheels, at the Glenwood Farmers’ Market, during season, and every Friday from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Oak Hill Collaborative at 507 Oak Hill Ave. Willie’s offers barbecue ribs and chicken along with numerous traditional soul food sides. Few local establishments have been around as long as Eli’s Famous Bar-B-Que located at 1407 Niles Road in Warren. The genesis of Eli’s dates back to the days when owner Thelma Holman’s husband, a pastor, began making ribs to support his church during a difficult transition. However, when times improved the local community still wanted what were quickly becoming famous ribs. Eli’s officially opened to the public in 1975. Thelma Holman has been running the store since her husband passed away in 1989. Holman attributes Eli’s success to “a Godgiven secret” in the sauce. “We also know through years of experience just how to properly grill it, “ she explained. Aside from ribs, fish and wingdings, Eli’s also offers southern-style sweet potato pie and coconut cake, both made from scratch. They are open Wednesday (10 a.m. to 7 p.m.) and Thursday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Over the decades, southern migrants and entrepreneurs helped establish a rich tradition of barbecue that’s made the Valley a center for rib lovers throughout Northeast Ohio. That historical trend continues today as a new generation comes to appreciate the savory sauces and mouth-watering slabs that represent the best in local barbecue.

DINING GUIDE: THE WINE GUY Seasonal beers, whiskeys on tap at Rust Belt Brewery

eptember was filled with many fine events featuring great wines, tasty beers and handcrafted whiskeys. Jeff Brayn of Rust Belt Brewery invited me to the Tap House on Commerce Street in Youngstown to sample some of their seasonal beers and to meet Stefan Stojanovic of The Cleveland Whiskey. Wine The Cleveland Whiskey Guy distillery is unique in John Webster that they don’t age their bourbon whiskey for years in charred barrels. Rather, they have developed a high-pressure infusion system with oxygen that cuts the aging process to almost nothing. My first sample was their Christmas Bourbon (86 proof). Because it was very smooth with a sweet nose, I was amazing that it hadn’t spent years in a charred barrel developing its fine taste and textured finish. Next up was their 87 bottling (87 proof). Having many of the same qualities as the Christmas bourbon it was even smoother in its finish. My last sample was their flagship Black Reserve Batch No. 5 (100 proof). Noticeably darker in color with deeper, fuller flavors, this whiskey was simply outstanding. Most of these whiskeys are available throughout Ohio and should make a fine gift for the holidays. After Brayn and I finished tasting the whiskeys, we moved on to Rust Belt’s stable of seasonal beers. Their Octoberfest seasonal beer (5 percent alcohol) exhibits crisp fruit and nut flavors leading to a full, clean, refreshing finish that should work well with many of autumn’s favorite dishes. A glass of Old Man Hopper IPA (5.5 percent) was served next. Golden in color with pronounced hoppy fruit flavors, it was very engaging. Old Man Hopper would be an ideal refreshment after a day of fall yard cleanup. Rust Belt’s Brown Ale, available year-round, is dark amber in color, offering lush, full-bodied flavors leading to a taut finish. Late-season burgers hot off the grill would be a great partner for this delicious brown ale. I intend to visit the Tap House again and try some offerings from the kitchen paired to other Rust Belt beers, and will report my findings in a future column. On Sept. 13, I visited Mike Lapmardo

at Charlie’s Premier Wines in Howland for his Saturday wine

fruity, off-dry Riesling. Citrus fruit flavors complemented the rich pate and had me asking for another splash of wine. The next pairing started with a glass of

taste, and I found a couple of California wines that deserve attention. The Acacia 2012 California Chardonnay at $10.99 a bottle is an outstanding buy for upcoming holiday dining and parties. Green apple and peach fruit flavors with a hint of hazelnut on the finish make this undervalued Chardonnay a fine choice for the budget-minded wine buyer. Another fine value at this taste was the Treasure Hunt-

2011 Chehalem Chemistry White Blend

er 2012 Elephant and Castle Napa Proprietary Red Blend

($24.99). Deep red fruit flavors tinged with a hint of spicy oak lead to a clean finish that goes on forever. This red blend could easily sell for twice the asking price, so I wouldn’t wait too long to pick up a bottle or two for your table or cellar. METRO MONTHLY PHOTO | JOHN WEBSTER Later that day I visited Mi- Bob Sanata is the new wine director at Springfield Grille chael Charles Premier Wines in Boardman. on Elm Road in Warren for

their second Saturday taste, and found several wines to be very appealing. My first choice was the 2012 Picket Fence Sauvignon Blanc from Alexander Valley, California (normally $17.99, now available for $14.99). Classic Sauvignon Blanc fruit flavors and a clear, clean finish should make this wine a great choice for pan-fried perch fresh from the lake. The 2009 Eos Zinfandel from the Paso Robles region of California (normally $19.99, on sale for $15.99) was my next wine pick. Lush, brambly red fruit flavors proceed to a spicy long finish that should work very nicely with barbecued chicken. On Saturday, Sept. 20, I attended the Vintage Estate third Saturday tasting in Boardman. The 2012 Dancing Coyote ($12.99) Pinot Grigio from California’s Clarksburg region is a great wine for everyday enjoyment. Rivaling its Italian cousins, it exudes ripe apple and pear flavors and finishes crisp and clean. Oven-baked chicken and acorn squash would be a fine partner for this tasty white wine. If you’re looking for an inexpensive California Pinot Noir, give the 2012 Sea Glass from Santa Barbara County a try. Light bodied with ripe cherry and strawberry flavors, it finishes

Jeff Brayn of Rust Belt Brewery invited me to the Tap House on Commerce Street in Youngstown to sample some of their seasonal beers and to meet Stefan Stojanovic of Cleveland Whiskey. with a spice-tinged note that is very appealing. Boardman’s Springfield Grille held a lovely Farm-to-Table wine dinner on Sept. 24, featuring food prepared by Adam Lee of The Sprouted Table paired to wines from Cutting Edge distributors. Martin Whitley of Cutting Edge and new Springfield Grille wine director Bob Sanata were on hand to lead the diners through each course of food and wine. Sanata had seven years’ experience at the Hickory Grille in Hermitage, Pa., before being appointed to his new position in Boardman. Our first entrée of charcouterie (prepared meats and accompaniments) with chicken pate from Lamppost Farm in Columbiana, housemade plum preserves, curried grilled carrots and housemade crackers, was served with a glass of 2012 Seven Hills Dry Riesling from the Columbia Valley of Washington. Hands down, the chicken pate was a match made in heaven with the

from the Willamette Valley of Oregon. This delicious blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Riesling and Gewurztraminer was paired to a gazpacho pepper shooter (made of blended cucumber, Honeycrisp apple, Cubanelle pepper and creme fraiche served in a pepper). The flavorful Chemistry was right at home with the delicious gazpacho. This multidimensional pairing was unique and tasty. A tomato and peach salad was our next offering. It consisted of heirloom tomatoes, tree-ripened peaches and charred red onion drizzled with “holy basil” (an herb related to the basil we know) pesto vinaigrette. The wine chosen for this scrumptious dish was a 2013 Underwood Pinot Noir from Oregon’s Willamette Valley. Sweet berry fruit flavors and a spice-tinged clean finish worked very nicely with the tasty tomato and peach salad. Our dinner entrée was family-style taquitos (rolled tacos). Ohio’s Miller’s lamb barbacoa (a method of slow-cooking meat), sliced butcher steak, and stewed black turtle beans were piled upon individual flatbreads. A glass of Columbia Valley’s famed Andrew Will 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon was poured to go with the tasty taquitos. This spicy dish needed a bold red, and the Andrew Will Cab was up to the task. Ripe dark fruit flavors and a textured chewy finish worked nicely with this bold entrée. Local artisanal cheeses with raw honeycomb, brandied pears, toasted walnuts and Gasper’s grapes made a wonderful dessert course. A rare bottling of 2006 Trentadue Viognier Port was chosen to go with the delicious selection of cheese and fruit, and this unique Russian River port was simply fantastic. Not as heavy as traditional ports, the Trentadue offers sweet apricot and creamy vanilla flavors that were a perfect ending to a great dinner. One of the highlights of autumn is the Bacchanalia celebration at Pat and Amico Mariani’s home in Austintown. This year’s wine contest featured seven different homemade wines made from grapes crushed at last year’s event, and the entries were better than ever. The winner was Joe Majovsky, whose wine featured bright, crisp red fruit flavors and a nice clean finish. When I told

SEE WINE GUY, From Page 25

WINE GUY, From Page 24 him his wine should age well, he joked that he would have to hide the last bottle. Thanks to the Marianis for their generous hospitality in hosting this annual fun-filled event. I hope to see wine lovers at Michael Alberini’s Restaurant for their First Crush Diamond Wine taste at 4 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 19. He’ll be featuring domestic reds, some white wines, and music by the Sensations. Call 330965-2524 for reservations or more details. Other upcoming events include Thursday, Nov. 6, Springfield Grille pairing dinner featuring Dawson Orchards of Enon Valley, Pa.; the Upstairs Restaurant’s Wine Down, third Thursday tasting; Charlie’s Premier Wines of Howland, every Saturday; Wine Styles, every other week on Thursday, Friday and Saturday; Vintage Estate, third Saturday tasting; and Michael Charles Premier Wines (Elm Road), second Saturday tasting. If your restaurant, shop or charity event is having an upcoming wine tasting, please email me a month in advance at wineguy@metromonthly.net.

Survey: Most of Ohio’s 2014 wine grape crop lost due to Polar Vortex FROM THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY

his was not the type of cold that helps make your favorite ice wine. The prolonged and extremely frigid temperatures experienced in Ohio earlier this year have destroyed a majority of the crop of popular wine grape varieties grown in the state, according to a survey recently conducted by Ohio State University’s Grape Team. “Following the extreme minimum low temperatures experienced in January and February across Ohio, many vineyards were affected, and vines sustained extensive bud damage and likely trunk damage depending on the location and the variety grown,” said Imed Dami, associate professor and state viticulturist with the university’s College of Food, Agriculture and Environmental Sciences. “This is probably the worst grape damage on record in Ohio, even worse than the last bad one that took place in 1994.” The survey was completed by 62 grape producers statewide representing 838 acres, 720 of which are occupied by wine grape varieties. The average coldest temperature recorded at these

vineyards was -14 degrees F, with an unofficial low of -27 degrees F. Growers reported 97 percent losses of vinifera (European) grape varieties such as Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc and Riesling, which are the most popular and profitable for wine production but also the most susceptible to cold weather, Dami said. Hybrid grape varieties such as Vidal Blanc, Chambourcin and Traminette, which are more cold resistant than vinifera, experienced an average crop loss of 57 percent. Finally, cold-hardy American grape varieties such as Concord and Catawba fared better, with reported losses estimated at 29 percent. These losses amount to nearly $4 million, according to the survey. Total losses to Ohio grape producers (who also grow juice and table grapes) are much larger, considering that there are some 1,900 acres growing this crop in the state. While these losses are substantial, Dami said potential damage to grapevine trunks and vine death is more worrisome, as it would impact growers over a longer period of time. “When you lose the buds to cold, you lose one

season’s production,” Dami explained.“With trunk damage, it takes one year to retrain new trunks and another year to resume full production. However, if the whole vine dies, you have to start from scratch, and it will take four years from replanting to have a full crop again.” Dami said grape crop loss to cold is not uncommon in Ohio and grape growers understand the risks of farming this crop – especially those producers who grow vinifera varieties, which have become more popular in the past 20 years as the wine industry has substantially expanded in the Buckeye state. “If you lose a vinifera crop once every 10 years, that’s normal in this industry anywhere in the eastern U.S.,” he said. “Our industry has been fortunate to avoid a catastrophic loss in the past 20 years and has been producing high-quality wines from these varieties. Therefore, the cold events in 2014 should be seen as an exception rather than the rule because the impact of this winter’s polar vortex was more extreme and very different from past cold weather events.”
