My weekend in Indianapolis, summed up in wine:

Friday night started at Bazbeaux's with an Italian Sausage, Spinach, and Fresh Basil pizza served with a bottle of Pinot noir from Francis Ford Coppola. A fruity wine with hints of plum and cherry. A good start to the evening.

Next we went to Nicky Blaine's where we split a cheese and fruit tray and shared a bottle of Cosentino's Cigarzin. A fruity, aromatic wine with a taste of cream and cherries. The Cigarzin was followed up with a bottle of Billi Billi Shiraz. This wine was spicy, with a hint of blackberry and very smooth. A good way to the end the evening.

I was a little disappointed my friend and I tried two wine bars, Scholar's Inn on Friday and The Corner Wine Bar on Saturday and both were closed by 10:30.

Saturday details to follow...
