Description
Wine has been meticulously crafted in Connecticut ever since colonists came upon wild grapes growing on their land. In the beginning glance the New England climate appears inhospitable for this fastidious fruit but plenty of varieties thrive here, including pinot gris, chardonnay, cabernet franc, cayuga white and st. croix. These carefully cultivated grapes have produced wines of unique characteristics and surprising quality. Sign up for local wine enthusiasts Eric D. Lehman and Amy Nawrocki as they explore the intricacies of the region’s local blends, the vintners that craft them, and the individuals who taste them.
