Lots of wine grown in Nebraska. My favorite brand is James Arhtur, and grown in Raymond.

Proposed to my wife over a bottle.

As Nebraska wines go, James Arthur is an excellent. Of the wineries in this state, those within the eastern half grow the best grape varietals, and produce respectable vintages. Not so much for the western growers.

IMO, one of the biggest problems I see, here in Nebraska, is that many wine makers “cheat” with their wine aging process - by using bags of oak “chips,” suspended in polyethylene drums - rather than aging the wine in oak barrels. It makes for a boring pallet, a loss of distinction between varietals, and usually a peculiar aftertaste in the finished product.
