Virginia Trip
We were able to return to one of our favorite places to visit at the end of July and visit the Charlottesville area of Virginia for the first time since 2019. We spent four nights in a cabin at Afton Mountain Vineyards. While there we visited wineries: DelFosse Vineyards, Gabriele Rausse Winery, Flying Fox Winery, Ox-Eye Vineyards , Barren Ridge Vineyards, Chestnut Oak Vineyard, Afton Mountain Vineyards, Well Hung Vineyards and Barboursville Vineyards. Virginia has many cideries now and we visited two excellent ones: Bold Rock Hard Cider and Ciders from Mars. Check out Favorite photos for a selection of some great views from these Virginia sites.

Vineyard to Table Cooking with Kentucky Wine is here! Be one of the first to get your copy. I will be at the Kentucky Wine and Vine Festival tomorrow, from 1 to 9, at Wilmore, in Jessamine County. Look for me sharing space with Chrisman Mill Vineyards.
Book Signing at Brianza
Vineyard to Table Cooking with Kentucky Wine will be released in August. My first local book signing will be at Brianza Gardens and Winery in Boone County on August 21, from 2 to 4 PM. If you’ve ever thought about cooking with wine and would like to give it a try, this might be the book for you. It would be great to meet and discuss my book with you. Hope to see you there!
Join me at Brianza, one of the top wineries in the State of Kentucky. Wine lovers will find an excellent wine there that will make you smile, no matter what wines your love.
Kentucky Wine Lover blog has had a face lift.
Releasing a new book seemed like a good time to make some changes to the blog. Not only are the color schemes different, but so is some of the content. For those of you who are used to my site, you’ll notice that the background photo and the color logos have changed. I’ve been at this long enough that the archives have grown. The old posts are still there, just stored by year. The Wine Lover reintroduced herself, the favorite photos and links have been up-dated. Faye’s books will soon have both books linked to the publisher where they can be purchased directly.
Hope you enjoy this new facelift. Now that the changes have been made, I have some new blogs that I’ll be posting. Come back, visit, and follow http://kentuckywinelover.com

COMING SOON: Vineyard to Table Cooking with Kentucky Wine. The cookbook I’ve been working on, with help from Lee Ann Rose, is in it’s final stage – printing. I’m really pleased with the final results. 69 original recipes, informative chapters on the history of wine and food, tips for cooking and choosing wines, health benefits, cooking healthy and lots of photos.
Farmer and Frenchman Winery
While staying in Kentucky, we wanted to get away for a couple of days to celebrate our anniversary. As wine lovers we decided to visit a winery and looked for a place to go. Their website says eat, taste, and stay. and Farmer and Frenchman Winery lives up to that billing. We spent two nights in a cabin at Farmer and Frenchman Winery, had a pizza from room service one evening and an exceptional meal at the restaurant the other evening as well as an appetizer and glass of wine on our arrival.
This is a relatively new winery in the state, but is a really good addition to our state’s wineries. While everything was nice, the best part of the trip was the excellent and friendly service. Everyone there went out of the way to make our visit a good one. Just outside of Henderson, Farmer and Frenchman is a great place to visit.

Rucca outdoors at Brianza
A couple of weeks ago, on a Saturday evening, we saw Rucca performing at Brianza Gardens and Winery. Their performances are always a lot of fun, but the outdoor venue at Brianza adds an extra enjoyment to their concert. Brianza provides an excellent outdoor stage. There’s music every weekend.
Water’s Edge Winery and Bistro
Elizabethtown offers a lovely site for a lunch with a little bit of wine. At Water’s Edge Winery and Bistro, enjoy a tasting of some wines made there from juice from a variety of places and have an exceptional bistro style lunch.
Water’s Edge Wineries are located in a number of states. They are a franchise that offers visitors the chance to try wines from many sources. Try a dry red or white or a fruit wine made there from imported juices while enjoying an excellent lunch.

Huber’s Orchard, Winery and Vineyards
Huber’s Orchard and Winery is an excellent place to visit. They offer restaurants, a cheese shop, an ice cream shop, a farmer’s market, a bakery, a winery, a distillery, and a you-pick farm. We love stopping there anytime, but especially at the end of May. This is the time for fresh strawberries. You can pick your own or buy them at the farmer’s market.
Strawberries are also to be found in the tasting room, with tastes of strawberry wine or strawberry infusion. Both are excellent. Tastes are also available of their wines and spirits.
There is definitely something for everyone. They even have a Family Farm Park so there’s fun for your kids as well. Located just north of Louisville in southern Indiana, Huber’s is a great day trip.

While exploring Owensboro, we left the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame and found a wine bar named Sip. It was an interesting experience. Wines were available to taste, have a half glass, or a whole glass. You could also choose wine from a bar and relax in a tasteful setting.
The tasting was different from any I’ve ever encountered. I have to say that a franchise of this wine bar would be a success.
