Friday Favorites - Wine

Happy Friday!!! It is one of the happiest days of the week for me! I am joining up with Andrea and Erika again for Friday Favorites!


I decided I would talk about one of my favorite beverages, wine!! My husband and I spent one of our anniversary weekends travel the northern part of the state visiting wineries! It was a great weekend! So here are some of my favorite Indiana Wineries and the wine I like from each.

Oliver Winery
Reason: One of the first wines I ever had. Ok maybe not the first wine but definitely the first real wine. Boones doesn't count! It is a winery that is close to Indiana University where I went to school and it is beautiful!! The wine is great and inexpensive!

Favorite wine - Soft Red  I am not a red wine drinker but this one is sweet and I love it.
Want to try - Beanblossom Hard Cider   I love hard cider so I am excited to try this one.

Country Heritage Winery
Reason: There are so many, but one of the main reasons is because it is only miles from my house. They are fairly new winery but love their wine. At Christmas time they have a special Jolly Juice that is great! Again it is beautiful!


Favorite - Blueberry Semi-Sweet  I just happened to have a glass tonight! It is not so sweet that you can only have a little bit, but still sweet enough for me to love it!!!!!
Want to try - Cherry

Butler Winery
Reason: Good wine. We went to the tasting room that they have in Chesterton. They were so nice and we were able to try many wines. The guy behind the counter really seemed to care if we liked the wine or not. He even had two different tastings going on because my hubby and I do not like the same wine! I would like to actually visit the vineyard one day. Doesn't it look relaxing?


Favorite - Blackberry, we both liked it which never happens. It was so good we bought two bottles.
Want to try - Apple  Can you tell I like fruity and sweet?

Anderson Winery
Reason: Very pretty grounds and interior. They also allowed us to taste as many as we wanted!!! It was great and the people were so nice!


Favorite - Ravat 51
Want to try - Raspberry Kiss This might be a good bottle for Valentine's Day!

Our goal is to try all the Indiana wineries on this map. We have just a few to go!!!


I hope you all enjoyed this! We love to try new wines! Share your favorite wine/winery no matter what state you are in! We try to make this part of our anniversary each year!
