Stream Cliff Farm Winery News
A very popular destination for your visit is to stop in the Farm's Winery. The atmosphere is old-fashioned and friendly as it was once the blacksmith shop.
Kentucky Stud (black currant), is now back after an absence which was due to some production delays. The wine is one of our most popular and we are happy to report it is again available. Last season we introduced the Grandpa's Blackberry wine and it quickly became a number one seller. Many people tell us it is the best blackberry wine they have had. We are always glad to hear those kind of compliments. For those preferring Cabernet Sauvignon, the Iron Hand wine named after a beautiful stallion we owned, is smooth with a bold, deep flavor. It pairs nicely with foods cooked with rosemary. For the serious dry wine lover this is a popular choice. The wine list offers about eighteen varieties. Our Golden Gallop, a Pinot Grigio style wine, is ever popular and pairs beautifully with chicken and fish, it is complimented by the herbs basil and dill.
One of the reasons the winery was started here at the Farm was because of our interest in gourmet food, especially when enhanced by using culinary herbs. Combining foods with herbs and pairing with wines makes the food experience more appreciated. For cooking with wines, it is recommended to use Old Bo wine with beef meals and Horsefeathers wine to cook sauces for chicken and fish. From years of experience in cooking with wine, without reservation, these two wines are just the best.
Two special group events are offered in the Winery. A glass of wine with hors d'oeuvres, being a fruit and cheese tray, spinach and artichoke dip, herb barbecue balls, and focaccia bread with a rosemary olive oil. Fee is $13.00 per person plus tax and gratuity. A new event is a Chocolate and Wine Pairing, featuring four wines paired with four chocolates. The fee for the Chocolate and Wine Pairing is $7.00 per person. The minimum number required for either of these events is fifteen people.
Stream Cliff Farm Winery is on the Indiana Wine Trail (Southeast). A passport program for visiting all the six wineries on the trail is offered with a gift given to those completing the journey. The website is www.indianawinetrail.com .
