Nothing else in MA is worth the visit if you're looking for decent wines. For a nice weekend trip, take the ferry from New London to the North Fork of Long Island. There are about 20 wineries there now and they're starting to make some good wines. You're fortunate to live where you do because almost all the wine shops in MA have in store tastings on Saturdays. Visit your local shops and find out their schedules. It's a great way to taste a variety of good wines (for free) and learn more about them. Also, sign up for all the shops newletters. They give tasting schedules and the wines that are on sale each month. Wine shops in MA also discount full case purchases (straight or mixed) from 10% to 25%. If you hear of a wine you want and your favorite store doesn't have it, ask the manager to look it up in the Mass.
