So much so that the children typically were given glasses of water with a little wine in it, and the wine ration was increased with Joe Sabino ’63 their ages. Some of his most pleasant memories, Sabino said, are of his grandfather bringing homemade wine to holiday dinners. Sabino, who has been for a number of years a pharmacist in Hudson, Ohio, near Cleveland, opened an institutional pharmacy last July for a group of investors, which provides pharmacy services to long term care facilities in Ohio. Following in his grandfather’s footsteps, like many Italians, Sabino has taken up the tradition of making wine at home. He starts with 500 pounds of California grapes, which when grinds and presses. When finished, he has about 45 gallons – or nearly 200 bottles — of wine. Sabino credits his foray into winemaking directly to his grandfather, Leonida Vellani, who’s also the grandfather of John Vellani ’59 and great grandfather of Paul Vellani ’92. Leonida came to the United States in 1913 from northern Italy and was followed two years later by his wife and their four children, ages 2 through 7. The family lived in the South End of Columbus and worked for nearby Buckeye Steel Casting. “Grandpa acquired oak barrels and made a wooden crusher and a wine press with a 6-8” steel beam at the foundry. Sabino said his grandfather used Zinfandel grapes, a dark purple tightly packed grape with good sugar content. When he died in 1970, his wine-making equipment was sold or given away by Sabino’s aunts. Several years ago some family members who made wine themselves in government and politics from Fr. O’Brien’s election night party our senior year,” he wrote. Joseph M. McAndrews designs commercial kitchen equipment. He has four daughters and four grandchildren.

Vino Di Sabino 2004 The label that graces every bottle of the home-produced wine of Joe Sabino ’63 pictures his grandfather, Leonida Vellani. The label reads: Prodotto di Leonida Tranquillo Vellani (product of Leonida T. Vellani) since the wine is made from his grandfather’s recipe. encouraged Sabino to give it a try. He borrowed their equipment, located a crusher and press on eBay, and started making wine in his garage. “Like Grandpa, I blend Zinfandel with a touch of Moscato,” Sabino says proudly. He crushes the grapes together and lets them ferment with skins (the source of the red color) stems and seeds (the source of tannins which impart dryness to the wine). After a week of fermenting, Sabino presses the grapes and lets the juice ferment for another week or so in 15 gallon containers. When the fermentation slows, the containers are sealed with a water lock, which allows gas to escape and keeps out air. Sabino decants the clear wine four to six times the next six months to clarify it, and bottles it. Sabino says the wine generally should peak at about 3-4 years. The result is what he describes as a dry red wine with a ruby color which he enjoys with just about any food, particularly meat dishes, risotto, and pasta. “People speak of comfort food,” Sabino said. “This is comfort wine. When I drink it, it reminds me of enjoyable family times at my grandparents and of our immigrant roots.” 35
