New Hampshire
New
Hampshire is the relative new kid on the block, joining the list
of states that began pioneering winemaking in the early 90's.
There are now twelve commercial wineries and
vineyards in the state according to Bob Dabrowski, Treasurer of the New Hampshire Winery Association
and also the owner of Candia Vineyards. He reports the good news that "our industry is growing rapidy."
Jewell Towne Vineyards in South Hampton and Flag Hill Winery in Lee both
bottled their first vintage in 1994. Piscassic Pond Winery in Newfields produces Honey Wine (or
Honey Mead) and released their first wines in 2004.
French hybrids
are found to grow best in the cool New England climate, including
Seyval, Vignoles, and Vidal, as well as Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
