Our deepest sympathies to the Pampel family and Whyte Horse Winery.  Dr. Larry Pampel served as a judge at the INDY International Wine Competition for five years and was a treasured member of the Indiana wine family.  In 2006, Larry and his wife, Connie, opened Whyte Horse Winery in Monticello with his brother, Don, and sister-in-law, Denise. 

 

Thank you Larry, for your humble contributions to the Indiana Wine Grape industry.  Your impact will continue to influence us for many years.  We will miss you greatly.

 

 

Cheers,

Jill
