What to do in a small town
Sep. 1st, 2007 02:22 pmActually, quite a bit, at least around Labor Day. I went shooting at the Illiana Gun Club this morning. It's an ancient building in Cayuga, IN, just over the state line.
This afternoon, I went with my Mom to Sleepy Creek Vineyards in Fairmont, about a 10 mile drive. They've been working on the place since 2002, but just opened the tasting room this year. It's a small place, which grows their own grapes, mostly hybridized (read "hardy") types. However, they make four very nice wines, namely:
* Bull Headed - a dry red blend
* Sour Puss - a white Riesling style ETA: I had some of this at home - sweetish, but with a definite hint of lemon. "Kinda" Riesling.
* Hen Pecked - a semi-sweet red from Frontenac grapes (grown on site)
* Three Amigos - a sweet red blend from three grapes.
I bought two Bulls, a Hen and an Amigo. (They were out of the Sour). The Illini football opener is in a few minutes, and after that, the local church is having a festival.
