The Indiana State Fair Wine Competition began in 1973 as an Indiana-only event. The competition began admitting entries from across the world in 1992 …
I am not as familiar with Indiana wines as I should be. Do any of my fellow Ohioans have any Indiana favorites?
And as for Gallo: They have always known how to make great zinfandel, haven’t they? I can recall enjoying their zins in the mid-1980s … great bargains.
