More information on of Pennsylvania flavors
Pennsylvania is a state in the northeastern United States. It covers 119,000 km² (46,000 square miles) between Lake Erie and the Atlantic coast. Pennsylvania wines are produced from a variety of native Grape varieties such as Delaware, French-American hybrids such as Chambourcin and Seyval Blanc, and well-known vinifera varieties including Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. With about 14,000 acres (5665ha) of vineyards, Pennsylvania is one of the most prolific wine-growing states in the country, along with New York, Washington and Oregon (none of these states match California's production, which accounts for about 90 percent of U.
S. wine production). ) Much of Pennsylvania's vineyards produce raisins and table grapes. As a result, the state ranks only seventh in terms of wine production.
However, the wine industry is growing rapidly; there were fewer than 30 wineries in 1980.
