Indiana Uplands Announces Addition of Best Vineyards Winery

FRENCH LICK, IN-Indiana Uplands Wine Trail expands with addition of Best Vineyards Winery of Elizabeth, IN. As of June 8, 2009, Best Vineyards Winery has participated in the 2009-2010 Uplands passport program and in the upcoming events, Winter in the Uplands, Chocolate Lover's Weekends, March Gladness and Toast to Spring.

"Best Vineyards Winery is extremely honored to be accepted into the Indiana Uplands Wine Trail (IUWT) and Grape Growers COOP", said Wilbert Best, owner and vintner.

"The IUWT mission is to produce high quality wines from grapes grown in this area and I am extremely pleased that our wines express the unique characteristics of the Uplands."

The IUWT is the first wine trail and grape growers coop in Indiana and is presently comprised of Butler, Brown County, Carousel, French Lick, Huber, Oliver, Turtle Run and Winzerwald wineries. The Indiana Uplands are located in south central Indiana, running from the Monroe County/Morgan County line north of Bloomington, south to the Ohio River, a distance of roughly 110 miles. The Uplands are the remnants of an unglaciated plateau. This is reflected today in the topography, soil types and natural plant communities found in the area. Climatic data also illustrates that the Uplands are unique from surrounding areas resulting in wines of distinctly different character.

"We are proud to include Best Vineyards Winery in the Uplands Trail. Wilbert Best, owner of the winery, has worked very hard to produce quality wines from his vineyard and offers a cozy relaxed atmosphere to enjoy his winery. Best Vineyards is a welcome addition to the trail." said Kim Doty, French Lick Winery, and President of the Indiana Uplands Wine Trail.
