Some people feel that the USA is a bit behind on the wine scene. Although we are still a major player in the production and, of course consumption of wine, we still get a bad rap from some ” connoisseurs”. This is entirely not true. When leif Erikson first landed on what is now North America, he and his crew were so impressed at finding grapes growing on the new land that he named it Vinland – or Wine Land. So, take that you snobby “connoisseurs”, we have a rich heritage too.
