Some years ago we attended the annual Indy Wine Festival in Indianapolis and happened upon the Winzerwald Winery--a southern Indiana business that impressed us with their German-style wines and unique tastes . . . especially among the other Hoosier labels. That year, one of the wines we tasted was the Winzerwald cabernet sauvignon--a cab that, unlike the California cabs we had tasted on trips to Napa, Russian River valley, and the Clear Lake region, possessed hints of spice and pepper, with a strong cinnamon overtone.
Today, Winzerwald makes some spectacular old-world wines and they have certainly created a leadership niche among the wineries in the south-western region of the state.
The Winzerwald tasting room, located on the west side of Evansville in the area where the annual West-Side Nutclub hosts the fall festival, is a beautiful room that were patrons can both enjoy tastings and conversation without feeling rushed or claustrophobic.
The German-style wines that Winzerwald produces are also expertly bottled, some in beautifully presented labels that would make fine holiday gifts.
The next time you travel through Evansville, make plans to drop by Winzerwald and enjoy these fine wines.
