Collecting wine is a hobby of many wine club members.
When initially thinking of wine hotbeds, the city of Indianapolis, Ind., does not immediately come to mind. However, Indianapolis is the capital of a booming wine industry throughout the state of Indiana. Vintage Indiana, a wine & food festival, that celebrated its 11th year in 2010 is a good place for wine enthusiasts to meet, interact, and sample many delicious vintages from local wineries. Those who enjoy partaking in wine collecting and tasting all year can join one of the many local wine clubs that Indianapolis has to offer. From small gatherings to large events, wine clubs in Indianapolis are available for anyone seeking to learn more about the delicious alcoholic beverage. Add this to my Recipe Box.
