For many, a great meal just isn't complete without a perfectly paired wine to compliment it. Most think of France or California when speaking of exquisite wine, but great wine can come from many unexpected places. Take Pennsylvania, for example. The keystone state is definitely not the first place most would start looking for outstanding wine. However, PA's moderate climate and rolling terrain provides some of the best growing conditions on the East Coast.
With approximately 14,000 acres of grapes, Pennsylvania ranks 4th
nationally in the amount of grapes grown (including juice grapes). The
state also ranks 7th in the production of wine.
Pennsylvania's grape varietals include: Cabernet
Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Reisling, Gewurztraminer, Catawba, Cayuga, Chambourcin, Seyval Blanc, Vidal Blanc, Vignoles, and even wine made in the Champagne manner.
