Indiana wineries, vineyards, wine, tastings?
 
I find myself in Indiana for a couple of weeks. I found a nice brochure of Indiana wineries, did a little research and have an itinerary for the weekend, but am looking for any recommendations of wineries for tastings around and south of Indianapolis or elsewhere nearby.

Some of my choices include: Easley Winery, Mallow Run Winery, Butler Winery, Brown County Winery, Chateau Thomas Tasting Room, Oliver Winery (recommended).

Thanks ahead of time for opinions and advice!

Oliver! We loved this place. You can buy a bottle of wine and lunch and sit outside at picnic tables in a beautiful area. You will love it!!

I'm sorry t'tiger.
I didn't see the "private post" box checked. :-[

I'm interested in all sorts of wine from all sorts of places.

I found some very good wines in Va., Tx and some people had rec'd some Long Island, NY wines.

Wineries in Indy? <i>Who knew</i>?

Now, what was the purpose of your question to me? /:)

I would be interested as to what types of grapes they are using up there. There are some wineries in Ohio as well, but they rely on Concord, Niagara, Vidal Blanc &amp; the like. Most too sweet for my palate. Kal, you'll need to come visit us in NC. It is my feeling that some of the wineries here have surpassed Va. wines, where as 10 years ago there was nothing in NC that was even drinkable (we visited Va.). We still suffer w/the Muscadine &amp; Scuppernong that some folks like though.

Almost moved to NC once.

Nice wine growing region just down from Va's yah?
