Indiana Wines for the holidays

IndianaWines

It’s the holiday season and with 80 wineries around the state, it’s pretty easy to find the perfect wine for your holiday meal.

Indiana Wines marketing director Jeanette Merritt says start by stopping in your local winery.  “Tell the folks behind the counter what kind of food you’re going to be serving for those holiday meals,” she says.  “The winemakers can then help you decide what wines they have that may pair well with it.”

She says pairing isn’t important to everyone.  In that case – simply select wines that you like.

If you’re looking for Indiana wines, Merritt tells Brownfield there are wines produced locally.  “Chambourcin is a great example of a dry, red wine,” she says.  “It’s a red grape that grows well here in Indiana.  If you’re going to look at white – two of my favorites are Chardonel, a grape that is a hybrid of a Seyval blanc and a Chardonnay, and Traminette, which is our signature grape here in Indiana.”
