USA Wines Tasting Party

[wondersofwine]

Welcome to the board.
USA Today (I think from July 12, 2002) ran an article on wines from the 50 states. A licensed North Dakota winery completed the 50 states. (However, some mentioned in the article make fermented fruit juices from other than grapes--strawberries, elderberry, etc. which some say cannot be called wine since wine starts with grapes).
See if the article is available online--if not, you could probably photocopy info at a public library or perhaps get a reprint from the USA Today library or "morgue" for a small fee. I believe it gives contacts for each winery mentioned. The other problem might be
locating or having wines shipped to you--state laws really hamper direct shipment unless your state has reciprocal agreements with other wine-producing states (and then probably not all of them).
