Dear Reader,
With Co-Editor Ken Lyon out of town, Your Faithful
Correspondent has been overwhelmed by Easter. Not in a good,
spiritual sense, but in a Charlie Brown "ARRRRRRRGH!" sort of
sense.
So while there is a great deal of news, this is
a short and late newsletter with only the most timely of
stories for your reading pleasure.
Expect a longer one
next week. And in the meantime, check out the free weekly
CityBeat newspaper.
This week is a "best of" issue and College Hill is mentioned
prominently.
But more on that next week...
Gail Finke,
Co-Editor

College Hill Wine Honored at Krohn
Conservatory
A local wine will be one of
several showcased at Krohn Conservatory Friday.
 Ohio
Wine Tasting: A Tribute to Nicholas Longworth is one of
several special events celebrating the conservatory's 75th
birthday. Cincinnati luminary Nicholas Longworth grew grapes
here for wine, and the tradition has never completely
vanished.
North College Hill resident Chip Emmerich's
award-winning Purple Trillium wine will be featured along with
wines from Ripley, Bethel, Westwood, Morrow, Madisonville,
Colerain Township, and Silverton. (We know he lives in NCH,
but the Enquirer gave him to us in their story so we'll claim
him just this once.)

Winery here.
See all the featured wines, and

The eNewsletter is published every week or two by
the volunteers listed below. Our purpose is to help make
College Hill an even better place to live, play and do
business by publishing a broad spectrum of news for and about
College Hill, with an emphasis on stories of College Hill
people working together to improve our community.
The eNewsletter is
independently prepared and published by neighborhood
volunteers. It is not affiliated with the College Hill
Forum Community Council.
Opinions expressed here are not necessarily those of any
College Hill or other organization--or even of the editor. The
inclusion of an article is not necessarily an endorsement. The
fact that something isn't in the eNewsletter is not
necessarily a lack of endorsement--it's most likely because no
one told us about it.
eNewsletter photos are often edited to remove
extraneous material.
Send us news that you think would be interesting to your
College Hill neighbors--and we'll very likely publish it.
