The Hoosier State is Home to Wines and Tradition

September 29, 2011

When I think of popular American wines, I think of Napa Valley and northern California. Recently, I’ve learned that Indiana offers many homegrown wines that are quite popular in the Hoosier state. Indiana Artisans are Hoosiers who are in the business of using Indiana raw products to create works of art. Steve Thomas, the owner [...]

Becoming a Serious Swirler at Bloomington’s Butler Winery

September 26, 2011

Even before I became the sophisticated 21-year-old that I am today, I always had a fascination with wine, and I made it my personal goal to one day be referred to as a “wine connoisseur” or even better, a “wino.” Now, here I was, a 21.1 year old, and still no closer to my goal. While [...]

Indiana Artisan: Sue Wilson, Carousel Winery

September 25, 2011

The Indiana Artisan program is not just about art, it’s about creation and being able to build and make things with your hands that other people enjoy — so it’s about food and drink just as much as it is about art. And the Indiana Artisan makes things that are for — and about — [...]

What You’ll Eat at Dig-IN on August 28

August 17, 2011

I hate food blogs. I hate food books. I hate food magazine articles. It’s not because they’re boring or awful or the people who write them are mean to their mothers. It’s because I want to eat the thing the writer is describing, and I can’t, because it’s just words on a page or computer [...]
