Mazza Wines, located along the shores of Lake Erie for over 50 years, is excited to continue this project that highlights and celebrates the unique history and wine production of our region – combined into one unique product. A huge thank you goes out to the crew of Osprey Charters and the expert dive crew who were involved with this project for a 2nd year.

The pure darkness, cool temperature, and gentle undulations at the bottom of Lake Erie create uniquely ideal aging conditions for this limited edition sparkling wine. Its proximity to a historical shipwreck make for one heck of a story and help us to highlight the preservation of Lake Erie's history.

A portion of the proceeds from ticket sales for this Wine Release Event will be donated to the Pennsylvania Archaeology & Shipwreck Survey Team.
