The trial will involve 500 to 600 patients, split about evenly between angioplasty and bypass, with tests at one and three years to evaluate chest pain, exercise capacity, blood flow, heart attacks, and costs.

Larry Lockskin notes the challenge amid a $500,000 annual ad effort, while Donniella Winchell cites growing variety and improved quality. Local experts point to Lake Erie islands and cooler temps for acidity and distinct flavors, with Ohio ranking high in grape diversity and fourth in winery numbers nationally despite perception gaps.
