The Indy International Wine Competition begins today at Purdue University in West Lafayette, runs until Thursday, and is one of the big events of our calendar year. We have again submitted wines for judgment, to one of the most scientifically organized competitions in the country, and the Indy draws entries from a number of countries and even more states, making a medal win there well worth the effort. Stay tuned for any updates, likely on Friday the 5th.

 This Friday, the Junior Achievement Wine & Beer Fest returns, this time at Parkview Field in downtown Fort Wayne. This a large assembly of wineries and breweries, with your ticket serving as a pass to sample and purchase among a number of established and new business, all in the confines of a pretty cool ballpark.

Our second and final Art Show of the year happens the 3rd Saturday of this month, August 20th. Running from 10am to 5pm, our lawn promenade will be the spot where over 30 local artists will exhibit their work, for display and purchase. Many artistic mediums will be represented, all within close proximity to each other, making for a pleasant stroll on the grass. Shig's in Pit will be on hand as well, with barbeque available to purchase, and as always, we'll be doing free wine tasting (with proper ID). The Satek Art Show is family friendly, and free and open to the public.

Wine and art = pair excellence 

 For the 3rd year in a row, Satek Winery will be on exhibition at the Indiana State Fair in Indianapolis. We are grateful to be invited again after the 67 year ban on alcohol was lifted a few years ago. Satek wines will be available from Saturday August 13th until Tuesday August 16th, though the Fair will begin on the 5th and end on the 21st, if you need a donut burger in the meantime. It's a great time, and if you haven't gone but can, it's a celebration of things grown, raised or made in this state. For more information on the Fair, you can click here.

 The Satek Winery Run N Wine, our 5th collaboration with Shape Up Steuben, a 5K walk/run and a 10K run (featuring chip timing) is coming next month, September 3rd (the Labor Day Weekend Saturday). More information can be found here and if you are ready to sign up, an application can be found here. Last year, we debuted Manzana the day of the race, and while we are in the habit of promising little to nothing, we are aiming to have it released on that date.

Rum N Wine, anyone?
