The flavors and textures we just couldn't stop raving about. Definitely not something I could even begin to figure out how to cook at home. On top of this, the whole atmosphere is cozy, friendly, and clean. We had a wonderful time. Also special thanks to Joshua for being the first friendly face we saw. Could not recommend this winery enough!

Bill, a member of their friendly & knowledgeable staff offered interesting information, answered all my questions and provided delicious pours to taste. They source their grapes from all over the country and create many lovely wines locally in Brown County. My favorite was their Port. At 20% the Port is the perfect sipper to end the day. It is top notch. Do not miss trying it. Fun spot with a great local vibe. They also have gifts and food items to go with their wines.

So while we were in town to drink cocktails at Cardinal Spirits and have some wine at Oliver Winery, we also decided to stop at Upland for some beer. Cover all our alcohol bases, you know? :-P Anywho, the Wood Shop is the tap room and brewing facility right next door to Upland Brewing Co. We got there just a liiiiittle too late for a tour. But it is never too late for a flight! I love sours. LOVE them. So the menu excited me! Our server, Adam I believe, was friendly and patient with us (most of us being a tidbit tipsy since this was our fourth stop of the day!) I really enjoyed all the beers I tried. I honestly couldn't tell you a favorite! We were also able to call in an order for food from next door, pick it up and eat it at the Wood Shop. The space is big and it is fun to drink among the barrels, it is clean and looks brand-spanking new. I only wish Bloomington was closer to Louisville, so I could visit more often.

We have enjoyed time at Cardinal Spirits twice recently. The first visit was fantastic (and…read moreprompted us to make reservations for Mother's Day for the second visit). The second visit was okay. First, the best parts: the cocktails were delicious and I loved trying a few of the different spirits when our server brought us samples to try. Also, the patio atmosphere was lovely as the weather was perfect for both visits. The bingo was also a lot of fun! Overall, the food was good, but on our second visit the service was incredibly slow. Our server told us that the kitchen was running behind, but our friends were at the table next to us (with a different server) and they ordered when we did and had finished eating before our food even arrived - and I had to go find someone to inquire about it as our server never returned after dropping off drinks. She did apologize and take an item off the bill and hand us a few drink coupons which was appreciated, but the experience had put a damper on our enthusiasm (especially after we told the rest of our party how awesome the place was). Will I go back? Yes, but maybe with tempered expectations.

We stopped into Hoosier Buddy Liquors while in the area, just to see if we could find any local…read morewine or beer to take home. This spot is a pretty typical small-town liquor store, but we were disappointed with the local selection. We only saw a few bottles of one local wine, and some Quaff ON! beer, but that was it. We were hoping for a larger selection, but they didn't have much beyond the standard fare. Prices will run you a bit higher than at a larger liquor store, but that's expected given that this is a smaller town and this is the only liquor store we saw in the area. So, if you're in the need for a liquor/beer run, it may be this or a gas station, unless you want to stop by an actual winery, brewery, or distillery in the area. We did end up purchasing a koozie though, because B loves them and we liked the cutesy name of this spot.

I feel as if I can accomplish more sampling given the size of the festival and the number of breweries that participate. Yes, there are lines, but at most you're waiting five minutes for a pour.

I've read past reviews saying there were awfully long lines for the bathroom, but there were so many portable bathrooms this year. I saw people waiting around but never a "long" line. The porta potties weren't that bad. They aren't the cleanest things with drunk people peeing all over them, but they weren't bad. I do wish that were more options for non-drinker DDs like me. I enjoyed the food. How about making food free for the red banded non-drinkers? Hmmm. Great event on a really nice day. Aaaand in my boyfriend's eyes it was "THE BEST DAY EVER" haha.
