Delaware wine refers to wine made from grapes grown in the U.S. state of Delaware.
Delaware has only two wineries that each have limited production, the fewest of any state in the United States. The first and largest winery is Nassau Valley Vineyards, which makes fruit wines in addition to grape wines. The second winery is Pizzadili, a small, family owned and run business, opened in 2007. They offer a large selection of wines grown from Delaware grapes. They too make fruit wines in addition to grape wines.
Historically, the first Swedish settlers planted grapes and made wine in Delaware as early as 1638.
Famous quotes containing the word wine:
“Fair Hope! our earlier Heaven! by thee
Young Time is taster to Eternity.
The generous wine with age grows strong, not sour,
Nor need we kill thy fruit to smell thy flower.
Thy golden head never hangs down
Till in the lap of Love’s full noon
It falls and dies: Oh no, it melts away
As doth the dawn into the day,
As lumps of sugar lose themselves, and twine
Their subtle essence with the soul of wine.”
—Abraham Cowley (1618–1667)
