A friend who worked at Ashland's Catlettsberg, KY refinery retired early and is growing wine in the E. KY/W. VA area.

VIRGINIA IS FOR WINE - NAPA IS FOR AUTO PARTS

(Not even close to being true, but a funny slogan)

Sorry, but Missouri Wine beats them all.

For you east and west coast wine aficionados, I'd highly suggest that you try the Midwest wineries some day. Since the varietal grapes don't do well in our climate you're not going to find a Pinot or Cabernet or Chardonnay. But the Norton is an excellent alternative to Cabernet, the Chardonel is similar to the Chardonnay and the Vignole makes a very interesting semi-sweet white, similar to some German Rhine wines.
