Brooks Hill Winery - Local Business Profiles in Bullitt County KY

Erik Hitzelberger, --Louisville-Bullitt County Real Estate (RE/MAX Alliance) — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 08:37:23 -0500

When most people think of Bullitt County Kentucky and alcohol, they think of bourbon (or possibly moonshine). Certainly, the Beam family has made a lasting impression on the area. But Mike Hatzell is trying to prove that Bullitt County can produce a drink for the for refined palette as well. Based on his recent successes, Mike is well on his way to accomplishing that task.

A former attorney and long-time amateur wine-maker, Hatzell turned pro when he and his wife purchased 30 acres in Brooks a few years ago. The Hatzell's and winemaker Butch Meyer combined vision with hard-work and dedication and now have a working winery. Brooks Hill Winery, aka The Little Winery on the Hill, is already building a strong reputation. During an international competition in Florida, a Cabernet-Sauvignon entry took the bronze medal. This same offering also won the silver medal at Derby Festival.

The setup at Brooks Hill Winery is friendly and inviting. They have a tasting area where you can sample wines while Mike himself explains the intricacies of the selection. The covered patio behind the winery provides an excellent location to drink, converse, and admire the vineyards.

You are welcome to bring lunch or dinner, sit on the patio, and enjoy one of their great selections with your meal. If you in the mood for something light, Brooks Hill Winery also has a selection of cheeses and Mike will certainly recommend something to compliment your choice of wine.

To get to Brooks Hill Winery, take the Brooks Road exit off of I-65 and head west at the top of the ramp. The winery is 2 miles ahead on the right.

Hours of Operation: M-F 1p-7p; Sat 10:30a-7p; Sun-Closed

Lowes Opens in Shepherdsville Kentucky (KY)

Erik Hitzelberger, --Louisville-Bullitt County Real Estate (RE/MAX Alliance) — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 23:35:05 -0500

In case you are not aware (and judging from the parking lot this evening, you aren't) Lowes has opened in Shepherdsville. The new location is on the Adam Shephard bypass. I for one am particularly excited as getting to this new location requires driving about 5 miles less and avoiding at least 10 less redlights on Preston Highway.

In general, the new location is setup the same as almost any other Lowes. However, the tool department is more streamlined. Also, I noticed a virtual color system in the paint department. This allows you to select a room and then see what it would look as you vary the shades of paint. Of course, it will look different on your walls, but it was still a nice tool to play with.

If you need building, remodeling or gardening materials, make sure that you check out the flyers right inside the front door. They are offering 10% off this week. Note that the coupon is only good for the Shepherdsville store.

On a side note, the employees were very friendly. No less than 8 people asked me if I needed assistance.

If Lowes doesn't carry what you need, don't forget about Stout's Ace Hardware across from Paroquet Springs or 84 Lumber on Preston.

Spend a day in Bernheim Forest - Bullitt County Kentucky (KY)

Erik Hitzelberger, --Louisville-Bullitt County Real Estate (RE/MAX Alliance) — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 11:53:32 -0500

If you are looking for Things to Do in Bullitt County, I strongly suggest that you spend a day in Bernheim Forest. Actually, there is so much to do and see in Bernheim Forest that one day isn't sufficient. You could spend weeks enjoying the scenary, cycling, hiking, fishing, picnicing, and learning. At $5 per car on the weekends it is a great place to take your family and spend quality time together. (It is FREE during the week).

When is the last time that your children got to see deer, rabbits, geese, and hundreds of other animals in the wild. For that matter, when was the last time YOU saw animals in the wild. With over 14,000 acres of protected lands to explore, you have to try very hard to not see animals in their native habitats.

If you are feeling adventurous, Berheim has over a dozen hiking trails ranging from 0.5 miles to 14 miles. Additionally, the 34 miles of cycling trails will challenge even the most ardent riders. If you are looking for a little less rigorous activity, throw a line in at Nevin Lake and see what you can reel in.

Just want to sit and relax? No problem. There are benches located throughout where you can watch children play, enjoy nature, or simply lose yourself in your own thoughts. The picnic areas (with grills) spread around the park offer a great place for family reunions, cookouts with friends, or even Sunday afternoon lunch. Regardless of who are are with, you will be able to sit and enjoy fellowship without the distractions of everyday life.

Berheim Forest also offers activities such as the ECO Kids program and Forest Flicks. The Education Gallery hosts art exhibits. Truly, there is something for everyone. For more information about this Bullitt County treasure, visit www.berheim.org.

Directions: Take I-65 to Exit 112 (Clermont / Lebanon Junction). Head East at the top of the ramp. Bernheim is less than 1 mile ahead on the right.
