Aug 31stCatching up with Kentucky Wineries

The farm, therapy, exercises, and catching up with things that had been neglected since my accident has kept us busy this summer, but we were able to get out and visit a few wineries. Now its time to get caught up with writing and organizing some photos. Hard to believe that fall is just a few weeks away; time has certainly flown by. Let’s look at some news that Kentucky wine lovers might be interested in learning.

The Kentucky Wineries Association will be hosting its 5th Annual Wine Fest on September 9 and 10, 4 to 10, on the 9th and Noon to 10, on the 10th. The fest will be at the Bullitt County Fairgrounds. For just $25, visitors will get a wine glass and 12 tastes. Look for information at http://bestkywineries.com Look for the wineries that are on the Best Kentucky Wineries Wine Trail to be there pouring their wines.

The Northern Kentucky Wine Festival and MainStrasse Village will be October 15, from 3 to 10. Kentucky wines, artisans, food, and entertainment will delight visiting wine lovers. I will post more information as it’s available, or you can check the website of the MainStrasse Village at http://www.mainstrasse.org/

Verona Vineyards is now open on Thursdays, as well as the weekend. Wine lovers can taste some of their favorite wines and enjoy some food and events. A Taste of Behle Street by Sheli at Verona Vineyards is available at a food truck at the winery. Special events from a Thursday steak night to Sunday brunch are enjoyed by those visiting. Check their website for reservations and other events at http://www.veronavineyards.com/

Denise and I are still “cooking with wine” and have made some decisions that we think readers will be interested in. Our planned title is Vineyard to Table – Cooking with Kentucky Wines. As more news is available, we’ll let you know.

Hope your summer has been a good one and that you have been enjoying some Kentucky wine.
