More information on of Rhode Island flavors
Rhode Island is the smallest state in the United States, with an area of 3,140 square miles in the far Northeast of the country. Cool Climate vinifera and Hybrid grapes are grown in this sea-influenced state, including Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling and Vidal.
Rhode Island has only one AVA (not surprising, given that nearly 30 AVAs are larger than the entire state) - the fairly general southeastern NewEngland region, which it shares with Massachusetts and Connecticut. There are approximately 11 wineries located throughout the state.
Rhode Island is located between Connecticut and Massachusetts on the north shore of Long Island Sound. Despite its name, the state is far from an island; it is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean on only one side of its slightly irregular rectangular shape. The origins of the name go back to the time of the first migrants and the merger of the two colonies called Providence Plantations and Rhode Island. At that time, the name referred only to the island now called Aquidneck, on which Newport is located.
