Don't ask how, but I came across a great article from the San Jose Mercury News about an AP writer's experience on Kentucky's Bourbon Trail. It seems to be a slow news day and it's an easy read for any of you wanting to feel proud about living in Kentucky. I cannot imagine a better way or time of year to showcase the state of Kentucky more than spring time around horses and whiskey:Spring is a popular time for tours, with visitors treated to Kentucky landscapes bursting in color from budding trees and flowers. Bourbon tours mix well with another signature Kentucky industry for a day of bluegrass bliss. Some people combine bourbon tours with visits to area thoroughbred farms or spend an afternoon at horse races. Keeneland race track at Lexington has live racing for most of April, followed by the spring meet at Churchill Downs in Louisville, home of the Kentucky Derby.
Bourbon and horses mature near one another at the Woodford Reserve Distillery, nestled in Kentucky's Bluegrass region. Visitors heading to the distillery on country back roads drive past picturesque horse farms bounded by miles of black wood fence snaking along the countryside.
Enjoy.
