Huber’s Orchard, Winery and Vineyards is hosting the fifth annual Un-cork the Uplands, a wine and food tasting event, Saturday, July 25. The event will feature nine wineries. | SUBMITTED PHOTO

Get ready to rock at this year's Forecastle Festival.

What was it Don Corleone said about wine? “I like to drink wine more than I used to.”

I’m not one to argue with The Godfather. Uncork the Uplands would be right up his alley.

On July 25 wine fans will have the opportu-nity to sip the best vino Southern Indiana has to offer at Huber’s Orchard, Winery and Vineyards with Uncork the Uplands.

The event is more about vino, though.International food stations will pair victuals

with vino; live music will be played inside and outside; and tours will be offered of Huber’s various vineyards, orchards and brambles, as well as a intimate view of the winemaking process and Starlight Distillery’s stillhouse.

The fifth annual event highlights wineries associated with Indiana Uplands, a federally recognized grape-grow-ing region — known as an American Viticultural Area — in southcentral Indiana.

That’s SoIn. And so important.

Wine and spirits are an important part of the region’s economic and tourism engine. It’s a quality product, too. Jim Pfeiffer, owner of Turtle Run Winery in Corydon and president of Indiana Uplands, can attest to that. His winery’s Serendip-ity — a semi-sweet white blend — recently won a best in class honor at the Consumer Choice Wine Awards in Sacramento, Calif.

Of course, Huber wine has accolades aplenty.• A little sooner on the calendar is Jefferson-

ville’s Wine Walk & Shop to benefit Main Street, Inc. Wine tastings, live music and shopping highlight that event, Friday, July 10.

Either one will allow participants to sample nectar vital to our region.

The Jeffersonville Public Art Com-mission is seeking submissions for its latest project to create a mural on a floodwall in the Rose Hill Neighbor-hood.

The mural will be installed at the top of the Mulberry Street floodgate storage unit, according to the com-mission’s website.

The chosen design will be painted by the artist on a weather resistant substrate with appropriate outdoor paints that will be provided by the commission.

This structure “holds within its cur-rently vacant aerial canvas the ability to set the feel for our community and guests coming or going,” the website stated, adding that the commission is looking for designs that are unique yet visually flow with the area.

The project allows for the opportu-nity to highlight the community and its connection to Big Four Bridge and Big Four Station, the park at the foot of the bridge.

Dimensions of the mural are 8-feet tall by 16-feet wide; it can be painted

in the artist’s studio and transported to the site. The chosen artist is respon-sible for the design as well as the completed painted mural.

The artist whose concept is selected will receive an honorarium of $1,000

for the design of the piece.Entries are due the Jeffersonville

City Hall Planning and Zoning office no later than 4 p.m. Friday, July 10. Winning entries will be notified July 15.

BORDEN — Wine enthusi-asts can sip the best South-ern Indiana has to offer with

the Uncork the Uplands event at Huber’s Orchard, Winery and

Vineyards on Saturday, July 25.The fifth annual wine

tasting and food noshing highlights wineries associated

with Indiana Uplands, a feder-ally recognized grape-growing region — known as an American Viticultural Area — in southcen-tral Indiana.

Plenty of culture — and wine — will be had at Uncork the

Uplands with nine wineries each sup-plying six different samples. Interna-tional food stations will pair victuals with vino; live music will be played inside

and outside; and tours will be offered of Huber’s various vineyards, orchards and

brambles, as well as a intimate view of the winemaking process and Starlight Distillery’s

stillhouse.Eight of the nine wineries are members of the

Indiana Uplands Wine Trail, so Uncork attendees can expect quality tastes, said Jim Pfeiffer, president of Indiana Uplands and owner of Turtle Run Winery in Corydon.“You’ve got close to 200 years of winemaking expe-

rience between us,” Pfeiffer said. “The other thing people will get from this event is the wide depth and complexity of wines. They’ll be able to taste so many styles and things like that.”

Wine fans also can get up close and personal with the grapes that will one day be turned into magic juice.

“They’re going to be going out into the vineyards and orchards and having discussions on what exactly is going on with those plants at that particular time and how we’re working with those plants to make very tasty beverages later

on,” Pfeiffer said. “It will be very hands-on, educational and done up right.”

Huber’s, with more than 150 years of contributing to Indiana’s agritourism industry, offers a pastoral setting to sip samples of Southern Indiana’s wine.

“Obviously this is an ideal location to showcase every-thing that is wonderful about wine in Indiana,” said Lise Kruer, wine club manager at Huber’s, which is hosting the

event for the third time.Individual tasting tables will be set up for each winery;

also, attendees will have the opportunity to purchase wine by the glass to “kick back and relax” and enjoy the live music. The food stations will offer recommended food pairings from the wineries to match the spirits. Got a sweet tooth? Peacetree Mountain Truffles chocolate company will offer samples of a special Indiana Uplands wine truffle assortment.

“Of course truffles go great with wine,” Kruer said.Uncorked, though, is about more than just grape juice

with a kick. Participants can take a tour of the recently opened

20,000-square-foot Starlight Distillery stillhouse to get a glimpse of the spirit-making process.

“While not wine-related, that sort of shows the future of wine and spirits in Indiana,” Kruer said. “Several winer-ies and new distilleries are opening all across Indiana that represent the changing face of agritourism as it relates to entertainment. We feel very strongly not just about making wine or spirits but it’s about growing the products we sell to our customers.”

Also, wagon tours will trek visitors out to various destinations on Huber’s’ property to see not just grapes but different kinds of fruit that go into its wines. Guests can also stroll through the production facility at Huber’s to see how wine makes its way to the shelf, from harvest to bottling — all done at the winery.

“Attendees will get a chance to see all aspects of agritour-ism and agribusiness that way,” Kruer said.

Wine, food, chocolate: Pfeiffer anticipates a high-class affair.

“I think what people will find is a very classy event,” he said. “It’s going to be a very nice event.”

JEFFERSONVILLE — The seventh annual Wine Walk & Shop will be held Friday, July 10, in Historic Downtown Jefferson-ville.

The event is hosted by Jef-fersonville Main Street Inc., a nonprofit downtown revitalization organization, and the merchants of downtown Jeffersonville. The stroll features many wine tasting stations and a variety of hors d’oeuvres located within 19 downtown shops.

There will be five live music acts on the sidewalks, and special sales at locally-owned shops. Several area wineries will be on hand to offer wine tastings and sell wine by the bottle. A trolly hop also will take place.

Jay Ellis, executive director of Main Street, expects up to 600 people to attend.

“Downtown Jeffersonville is an amazing place and this event of-fers people a great opportunity to sample foods and regional wines while exploring all the area of-fers,” Ellis said in an email. “From

the many locally owned shops and historic architecture to the new photo murals and welcome arch, downtown Jeffersonville presents a genuine sense of place.”

Tickets are $20 the night of the event. For more information visit jeffmainstreet.org.

More details:• Cost is $15 per ticket, includes

one wine glass per person.• Each participant must show

identification before receiving a glass and tasting tickets and be at least 21 years of age. (You will be asked to show ID when you pick-up your wine glass. One person cannot pick up glasses for others.)

A fundraiser will be held Saturday, July 11, to benefit research into neuro-blastoma and other childhood cancers.

Zac and Kelly Brooks are organiz-ing the family-friendly event after their son, Walker, was diagnosed with cancer as a 3-month old.

The benefit will be from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday, July 11, at The Rusty Bucket and Venro, 934 Main St., Charlestown.

Creekside will give a life concert and there will be a cornhole tourna-ment ($40/team); a raffle for over 30 items that include HomeFit package ($300 value), Mega Cavern package ($198 value), event tickets (Holiday World, Newport Aquarium, Science Center), event tickets and more.

All proceeds will benefit Cure-Search to help find a cure for child-hood cancer.

“Without the CureSearch the doc-tors wouldn’t have had the protocol to treat my son and he would have suf-fered,” Brooks said in a news release. “We also learned that the CureSearch is grossly underfunded. That is why my wife and I started Walker Brooks’ CureSearch team, Team Walker’s War-riors, to help raise money for Cure-Search so that they may find a cure for neuroblastomas and other childhood cancers. My wife has been the heart of

the team working vigorously on events and fundraisers for this cause.”

After six months of chemo and many surgeries, Walker started down the path to remission at 9 months old.

We just celebrated his second birth-day at the end of May where he was

running around with his older brother as if he was never involved in such a battle,” Brooks said. “Unknowing to him that he was also celebrating being just over a year cancer free.”

JEFFERSONVILLE — An em-ployee of Red Carpet Liquors inJeffersonville was shot during an at-tempted robbery Saturday night.

Jeffersonville police reported Pa-tel Kamleshkumar, 41, of Jefferson-ville, was shot multiple times about8 p.m.

Kamleshkumar was shot by the

masked gunman, said another em-ployee, Loretta Banister, ofClarksville, who witnessed the inci-dent.

Banister said she and Kamleshku-mar were both working when thegunman entered the business onCrestview Court and 8th Street.

She said she was in the back ofthe business retrieving several bot-tles to stock when she heard thedoorbell that rings when the front

door is opened.As she came from the storage
