From the Fun with Carbs blog: "I took advantage of a perfect Sunday to visit some shoreline stops on the Connecticut Wine Trail: Gouveia, Chamard and Bishop’s Orchards."
Dalice Elizabeth Winery, Connecticut’s newest producer, will open this weekend. The first wine releases include chardonnay, pinot grigio, merlot, cabernet sauvignon, sangiovese, cabernet franc, syrah, and zinfandel.
This is actually a big deal in all regional wine states –- the need for state-approved road signs that tell tourists where the winery is. Legislation approved Monday in a Connecticut House committee would create new signs on state highways, but lawmakers aren’t sure how to pay for $20,000 a sign cost.
