How much do cases run at wineries? Any good websites to help find a good one?

I think I might start a small collection.

Many of the ones in Indiana won't ship out of state. Most bottles run between $9 and $20, with most being in the $13-$17 range.

how did you go from being an EE to doing IT work?

I was a hardware designer in our research lab while doing my master's degree. I was getting burned out and wanted to take time away from EE, so I jumped to IT. IT jobs, in general, are more plentiful than EE jobs. Infrastructure jobs are my favorite and I wouldn't mind doing those, but those are getting harder to find unless you go to consulting and I'm not sure I want to do that. The money is better but the benefits suck and they work you like a dog.

We've done all but 1 of the wineries in the SE Indiana wine trail:

This is probably our favorite and it is not terribly far from us:

This one is just down the road from us:

They're a little pricier than the others and we like the others better.

Ah. Still a bit too expensive. Hopefully once I graduate and have a job

Yeah, it isn't cheap -- if we do a weekend trip in southern Indiana, we usually drop around $200 on wine and cider. Locally, we go more often but only get 5 or 6 bottles at a time for $80-$100.

The plus is that you can get some really unique wines locally. I like sweeter wines and Mallow Run has a rhubarb wine that is fabulous. Their Traminette is another good one.

 

[IndyColtsFan]

Most also have free tastings. We always do the tastings first, especially if we've never been to the winery before.

 

[IndyColtsFan]

We usually stock 20 to 30 bottles of wine at home at any given time and I'd like to maybe add more capacity to our bar -- maybe another good-size wine rack.

I'm reading the football threads, but I'm categorically not replying.

Surprisingly, Georgia doesn't produce much wine:

Indiana produces 6x or 7x the wine.

I need to move out and get a real job. D:

Pro tip: Stay single. You can have a modest job and still be rolling in money even if you buy a house, etc.

My man, I love wine, and live in a great place to take advantage. There is a load of Wineries in Temecula, which is pretty close to me. Always some cheap delicious wine to be had around here.

Yeah I was surprised. I'll have to check out the Château Élan. It's 20 mins from my parent's place.

I like being able to taste wine before buying.
