Georgia
With
a long history of winemaking dating back to the 19th century,
Georgia was once a major grape growing state until local prohibition
laws (enacted a full decade before national prohibition in 1920)
all but destroyed the wine industry in Georgia.
Today, the
grape is back in full production thanks to a farm bill passed
in the 1980's when the state's two oldest wineries, Chateau
Elan (pictured above) and Habersham
once again reclaimed their heritage.
In recent
years, acreage devoted to vineyards has more than tripled in the
state and more wineries and vineyards are planned to open in the
years ahead.
