The Bluegrass may be world-famous for bourbon, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have other spirituous tricks up our sleeve. In fact, Kentucky is home to its very own California Wine Country… and it’s in the most unexpected of places, too. When you’re in the mood for imbibing in the Bluegrass State’s finest wines, visit California… Kentucky.
Did you know there was a California, Kentucky? It’s a beautiful little locale in the northern region of the state. And in lovely California, Kentucky, there’s a charming yellow building that feels a bit like stepping into NorCal’s Wine Country… or even a small Tuscan vineyard.

If you’re hungry for something a bit more substantial (you have to balance out the wine, after all), the PHIL Flatbread is absolutely delicious, and features tomatoes bacon, chicken, cheese, spinach, and artichokes. It’s actually named after a customer who requested this very combination, and it was such a hit, they added it to the menu!
