Buck Creek Winery, Indianapolis Indiana

We are not wine aficionados, but we do enjoy a nice glass of wine every now and then, mostly during cooler weather. During the summer we tend to accumulate bottles of wine from Indiana wineries for enjoyment in the cooler seasons.

I believe it's important to support Indiana's wineries. We're slowly learning the lingo and how the wines are made, and getting to know the people at the various wineries. We're also learning more about what we like, and how the different grapes affect the wines. It's an interesting science.

This last weekend we stopped by Buck Creek Winery on the way back from Metamora. They have a nice place right off I-74 just as you're entering Indianapolis.

We like the drier, less sweet wines. Buck Creek has several. After sampling a few, we decided on their Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio. Again. I think the last time we stopped there (in early spring) we also ended up with a few bottles. And then some.

It's always nice to spend a little time tasting and talking with the folks at the winery. They are always helpful and eager to answer any questions you have. Stop by if you're in the area, you won't be disappointed.
