Mario Andretti Winery

This location was my absolute favorite- for 2 reasons. 1. Growing up in Indy the 500 race is always a big event. I went to time trials every year when I was in high school and to the race, once. The year was 1969, the year I graduated from high school and the winner was Mario Andretti in his sleek black car.
Mario bought the winery in 1996- the only building was this 4 car garage- he took it as an omen. The house was built around 1997 to look like an "Old" villa in Tuscany. The setting was peaceful and quaint.
