Kentucky wine
Kentucky used to be known for horses, Bourbon Whiskey, and tobacco farming - now they have dropped tobacco and are going for grapes. Not just any grapes but viticulture of the wine-making sort! Sampling some of the wines at this small and relatively recently established winery, I came across some very pleasant wines.
The tasting room at a small vinyard near Richmond, Kentucky. The owner provides a good selection of his wines and certainly knows their characteristics.
Thinking on American wines, most people would identify those from California, some would speak of wines from South America, but not many I know, would have identified any from Kentucky. I will confess that I have not found them in any emporium of matters liquid that I frequent, but I suspect that we will soon begin to see some filling spaces on our shelves.
I look forward to the day!
