Found a great new spot that's a definite highlight for local flavor. The Jean Farris Winery located out Old Richmond Road.
If you are new to Kentucky, or just been sleeping the last few years, one of the biggest changes in the local landscape is the absence of tobacco fields. Several years ago, the state started an initiative subsidizing replacement crops for tobacco. One of the funded crops has been vineyards and a number of lovely vineyards and wineries have popped in place of tobacco. One of the newest additions is the Jean Farris Winery which includes a remarkable bistro. The short five mile drive out Old Richmond Road is a reminder of what a treasure the Fayette County landscape is -- rolling hills, horses (and babies this time of year!) and beautiful Antebellum homes. Once your at the winery, the atmosphere and food is fantastic. The wine's quite good too! Their website is www.JeanFarris.com and you'll want a reservation!
