    Six Great American Wine Country Harvest Getaways | Travel News from Fodor's Travel ... Page 1 of 7 Six Great American Wine Country Harvest Getaways Posted by Fodor's Guest Blogger on August 21, 2012 at 11:05:55 AM EDT Posted in Wine & Cocktails Tagged: Wine, Winery, California, Washington, New York, Virginia, Texas, Michigan By Jordan Simon There are few more glorious times of year than autumn in wine country: Pickers combing the gold-and-green fields, warm weather with a hint of chill, the scent of both ripe and fermenting grapes the air. Harvest features fall-focused fairs, food, music, and activities to suit all tastes, budgets, and even ages (wineries increasingly feature kid-friendly activities). Plus wine regions often occupy historic areas, with burgeoning arts scenes and activities aplenty for adrenaline junkies from hot-air ballooning to dirt biking. Yet the best time to visit, mid-September to late October, is also the busiest for winemakers; Napa and Sonoma are swarmed with visitors on fall weekends. Fortunately, all 50 states now produce wine (pineapple sparkler from Hawaii?) in such prime real estate as Virginia's Shenandoah Valley, the Texas Hill Country, and New York's trendy Long Island East End. We're toasting six wine regions—with tips on lodging, dining, and even the best bottles—heating up the grapevine. Remember that some wineries offer tastings or tours by appointment only. California: Mendocino For many, Mendocino County conjures images of rugged coast and vaulting redwoods, not neatly trellised vines. But nearly 100 wineries craft an astonishing range of wines over 10 appellations.

  • Aglianico from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Aglianico From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Aglianico (pronounced [aʎˈʎaːniko], roughly "ahl-YAH-nee- koe") is a black grape grown in the Basilicata and Campania Aglianico regions of Italy. The vine originated in Greece and was Grape (Vitis) brought to the south of Italy by Greek settlers. The name may be a corruption of vitis hellenica, Latin for "Greek vine."[1] Another etymology posits a corruption of Apulianicum, the Latin name for the whole of southern Italy in the time of ancient Rome. During this period, it was the principal grape of the famous Falernian wine, the Roman equivalent of a first-growth wine today. Contents Aglianico from Taurasi prior to veraison Color of Black 1 History berry skin 2 Relationship to other grapes Also called Gnanico, Agliatica, Ellenico, 3 Wine regions Ellanico and Uva Nera 3.1 Other regions Origin Greece 4 Viticulture Notable Taurasi, Aglianico del Vulture 5 Wine styles wines 6 Synonyms Hazards Peronospera 7 References History The vine is believed to have first been cultivated in Greece by the Phoceans from an ancestral vine that ampelographers have not yet identified. From Greece it was brought to Italy by settlers to Cumae near modern-day Pozzuoli, and from there spread to various points in the regions of Campania and Basilicata. While still grown in Italy, the original Greek plantings seem to have disappeared.[2] In ancient Rome, the grape was the principal component of the world's earliest first-growth wine, Falernian.[1] Ruins from the Greek Along with a white grape known as Greco (today grown as Greco di Tufo), the grape settlement of Cumae.

    14 ————————————————————— The Peconic Bay Shopper • Preserving Local History • June 2012 ————————————————————— Continued from page 9... Dogfish were pestiferous bait stealers, and also the horrid-looking sea robins.” In late summer there were “gamey fighting bluefish.” In later years Mrs. Newell recalled that the Bay became a “Mecca for hundreds of ardent fishermen from western Long Island and the city.” She even went on to say that those who visited that did their fishing would say, “Oh, I’ve been out fishing from New Suffolk!” In A Rose of the Nineties, Rosalind Case Newell wrote that the Peconic Bay pounding seas actually piled rows of seaweed along the beach. The windrows would include hundreds of escallops. She continued saying that the New Suffolk shore was lined with little grey-shingled escallop houses. The dredging, opening and shipping of escallops was an industry that was employed by many of the locals. Here’s a recipe for success with good ingredients as taken from the pages of Rose Remembers by Rosalind Case Newell: Dry escallops well in a cloth. You’ll have to change it once or twice. “A piece of old cotton sheet or whatever is much better than paper towels.” Crush 12 or more saltines to a coarse powder with a rolling pin. Saltines are tastier than bread crumbs. Beat one egg in a soup dish with a fork (not a beater). Cut small slices as thin as you can from a strip of fat back with a very sharp knife with enough pieces to cover the bottom of the pan. The fat back will slice easier when frozen.
