We’re like the Wild West, the California Gold Rush of wine, and most of us in Pennsylvania don’t even know it.
Courtyard Winery in North East, Pennsylvania, features a list of dry wines, from Chardonel and Chardonnay to Chambourcin and Cabernet Franc.For a long time after prohibition and up until very recently, state restrictions discouraged any real growth in our industry, and the wine we did make was simple and sweet.
We’re a cool, but humid region with four seasons situated between Virginia and New York, two states with excellent offerings. Our climate is more similar to northern Italy, northern France, and Germany than the warmer parts of California, and many of the same grape varietals also thrive here. We’re a big state with a spectrum of growing conditions, from the warmer Southeast to the colder Northwest.
What I’m saying goes along with the “buy local” movement, but also goes well beyond it. It’s true that wineries and vineyards are extremely good for local economies, creating well-paying jobs and centers for gathering and community. However, in our case, buying local possibly means buying something world-class. You shouldn’t just buy it because it’s near where you live. You should buy it because a lot of it is amazing and competes on a global level.
