Like you mentioned, I think Oliver has been moving away from purchased fruit. Creekbend wines are all locally grown by Oliver on their properties as I understand it.

I've heard some very decent things about Oliver wines (e.g., that they're the best in IN) from several semi-credible sources, yourself of course notwithstanding. If I ever find myself down in that neck of the woods, I'll give them a shot, but I can't say that I'm motivated enough to go to Marsh to buy their wines off the shelf.

I got some wonderful Riesling juice from them that they had brought in from Washington. But I seem to recall that they were planting more vinifera with the hopes of getting away from that practice.
