On August 17, 1967, Cowie Wine Cellars was established as a federal- and state-bonded winery in Paris (Logan County), fulfilling the lifelong passion of founder Robert Cowie, who had begun making wine as a hobby at age fifteen. Cowie Wine Cellars remains, by choice of its founder, the smallest winery in the state, though it has won a number of state and national awards, in particular for its Cynthiana and Robert’s Port. The Cowie family practices a “hands on” approach to the art of winemaking, bottling and labeling the wine by hand.
