Happenings at Oak Hill

Oak Hill Winery, in Converse, Indiana, has several new releases in this year's vintage. Oak Hill has rapidly expanded its offerings and now has over 20 varieties. Some recent additions include:

Windfall ($9.99)-a Rhine style semi-dry Seyval Blanc. A touch of residual sugar is left in to allow the slight fruitiness to come forth.

Whitewater ($9.99)-a Riesling style wine fruitier than Windfall. Production is limited to 50 cases.

Sweetser ($9.99)-Catawba, spicy, semi-sweet.

Swayzee ($9.99)-made from Chancellor grapes, food friendly, semi-sweet red.


Bordermen ($9.99)-semi-sweet cranberry grape blend. Delayed due to the cranberries taking their time fermenting.

Mead Marion ($12.99)-limited release, smooth and sweet. Limited release.

The wine club is also growing by leaps and bounds. Membership in the wine club is $149 a year and comes with two bottle of wine up front, your choice. Every month after that, bring your card back and pick up two more wines. If you miss a month, you can catch up three months at a time. Membership also allows you to buy bottles at the lowest price of $7.49 each, as well as a 10% discount on most of your non-wine purchases. You also get first chance at limited releases and special productions, and invitations to special events throughout the year.

Promotions such as this wine club are what's setting apart some Indiana Wineries. Let's hope other wineries follow suit.
