’Tis the season to take in the autumn foliage. Why not combine this with tours of Connecticut vineyards? The authors tell of the early history of wine making in Connecticut and how important it was—so much so that, in 1639, Saybrook Settlement took George Fenwick’s grapevine as its seal. Five years later the grapevine became the seal of the Connecticut Colony. This book explores the intricacies of the regions local blends, the vintners who craft them, and the people who taste them. Enjoy stopping along the Connecticut Wine Trail this fall!
