View from Floyds Knobs
New Albany, Indiana is located in a valley between the Ohio River and some small hills known as Floyds Knobs. This photo was taken from the Knobs, and in it you can see the river, with the Louisville skyline behind it. As far as I know, these are the only hills called "knobs" but I have done exactly NO research, so I can't confirm that info. The highest elevation in the Knobs is 1006 ft at Hickman's Hill. Other peaks include Bald Knob (874 ft), Lost Knob (905 ft.), and Pickle Pear Knob (860 ft.). No one I have asked knows who Floyd is or why they are called Knobs, but I think it's funny.
In the Knobs, there is a farm, orchard, and winery called Hubers. You can go to Hubers and pick whatever fruits or vegetables are in season. You can tour the winery and do tastings just like in Sideways, only you are in Indiana instead of California. Hubers also has a restaurant and a petting zoo with goats, llamas, cows, rabbits, etc. The restaurant is famous for its fried chicken and fried biscuits. We went to Hubers last Saturday and it was great. The temperature was about 72 degrees and everything was green and peaceful. The strawberries were peaking, and were probably the best strawberries I have ever tasted. We took some to my aunt's house and she made delicious strawberry shortcake. Indiana is good.

Not exactly like California...a Californian would get hung up on what wine to pair with fried chicken and biscuits. A Kentuckianan would simply ask for more gravy.
-K.
Actually, gravy requests are more likely in Texas. In Kentuckiana, we put apple butter on our fried biscuits.
