Hoosier Wine Update: Butler Winery

I opened a bottle of Indiana Red from Butler Winery near Bloomington this week.

I'd say it's much better than my experience with the too-sweet Reggae Red.

Indiana Red, on the other hand, is a nice, smooth table wine. Still a bit on the sweet side, but just about right for me.

Butler Winery bills itself as the fourth oldest winery in Indiana...having been established in 1983. Not exactly old-world Italy, which I just learned -- from Alpana Singh on Check Please -- has more than 900,000 registered wineries. That's a lot of grapes.

Hi, I work with your sister-in-law, Maria, and she just showed me your blog. Just wanted to let you know that my in-laws are the Butlers and my husband and I are opening a tasting room for the winery in Chesterton, Indiana in the near future. Glad you enjoyed the wine, and please come visit us when we get started!!
