Can you help: Where does one find a list of Kentucky Wineries?

Charles Marshburn has disclosed an ambitious bucket list goal: He wants to visit every winery in Kentucky.

Haven't asked permission, but I plan to put that on my bucket list, copycat or know.

The revelation probably piques and stimulates curiosity, wondering what unusual bucket list items others may have, that they would share, and we can post. - EW

Sen. Max Wise Legislative Update: Fri 24 Jun 2016

A MESSAGE for the FOURTH of JULY: 'While we celebrate independence on the Fourth, we also celebrate our country's unity. After the recent terror attack in Orlando, the citizens of the United States stood together to show the world that we cannot be beaten down. Our nation--and our great state--was founded on a simple principle: "united we stand, divided we fall.' - SEN MAX WISE

By State Senator Max Wise, (R-Campbellsville)
16th District: Adair, Clinton, Cumberland, McCreary, Russell, Taylor, and Wayne Counties

FRANKFORT, KY (24 Jun 2015) The Fourth of July gives us all a chance to reflect on our country and to take pride in our nation's enduring principles. It is the day on which the Declaration of Independence was ratified by exemplary visionaries who dared to create a new form of government and new laws for a new people. For the first time it was decided that every person is born with certain God-given rights and that government should have no powers of its own other than those granted to it by the people.
