ROTARY WEEK VOL 3 NO 35

PAUL TABOR, OWNER OF "TABOR HOME WINERY" AT BALDWIN, SPOKE TO
THE ROTARY TODAY.    THIS IS THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE WINERY.
THE FIRST YEAR, IT PRODUCED 3,000 GALLONS OF WINE  AND THIS PAST YEAR, 11,500.    THERE WERE AROUND 20 WINERIES IN IOWA 20 YEARS AGO, AND NOW AROUND 100.    TABOR'S IS ONE OF THE 5 LARGEST.
GRAPES GROW WELL IN IOWA BUT THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH ACRES OF
GRAPES TO MEET THE NEEDS OF ALL THE WINERIES.     WINE HAS ABOUT
TWICE THE AMOUNT OF ALCOHOL AS BEER DOES.     DRINK SLOWLY,
MODERATELY.      AND YES..IT IS GOOD FOR YOUR HEART.     MOST WINE
IN IOWA IS SOLD LOCALLY TO CUSTOMERS IN THE  AREA.
