The flavor of plum sauce in wine of Delaware

More information on of Delaware flavors

Delaware is a state on the east coast of the United States, bordered by New Jersey, Maryland and the Atlantic Ocean. Vinifera and Hybrid grapes thrive in the state's cool maritime Climate and Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Chambourcin are all planted in small quantities. However, while the neighboring states of New Jersey, Maryland and Virginia have well-established wine industries, Delaware has very little wine-making activity and only a handful of wineries produce Delaware wines. Currently, there are no American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) in Delaware, other than the Generic state appellation, and Delaware wines are not well known outside the state.

The Central Delaware Valley AVA is located along the Delaware River in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, which can be confusing, at least to the uninitiated. Delaware has a thriving craft beer industry. The famous Dogfish Head Brewery is located in Rehoboth Beach, in southern Delaware. Their beers are much more likely to be found in other states than wines are.
