Default Re: Inexpensive wines and champagne

For those of you in Indiana, or anywhere close to southern Indiana, have you tried Huber's Winery? They are near Corydon, and are ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS! Whenever we go, (always in the fall, and then a few other times of the year), we always get the Catawba Rose, Starlight White, and Blueberry Port (great with dessert). We will split a case with one or two friends, and pick out what we want in the case, often a mix of wines and ciders. (You can mix and match your own cases.) Since the new passage of the federal law that allows wineries to ship outside of their own states, Hubers is currently fighting the constitutionality of Indiana's law against interstate traffic of wine. I know they have a website, www.huberwinery.com, but currently, shipments of wine are sent at the discretion of the receiver. Not only do they have wine, but Hubers is also a family farm and restaurant, and they offer many delicious fruits, veggies, cheeses, breads, jams/jellies, and candy. As you can tell, I LOVE THIS PLACE! Most wine and cider prices range from approximately $7 to $25-30, all very affordable when you think how much a good bottle of wine is. When I want a really good wine, its either Hubers, or a nice Reisling from any local liquor store.

Also, the winery has daily tastings, and you can get a tray of 6-8 small tasters, try all the wines, and choose your favorites. Be careful, though, make sure you write down your favs. Otherwise, you could end up too buzzed to remember them! (Its happened to many of us on a wine-tasting weekend! )

So, who's ready for a wine-tasting? I am! facelick
