Here's an interesting take on New York State's iconic Concord grapes that were integral to a Wisconsin winery winning major praise this week at the Wisconsin State Fair Professional Wine Competition.What particularly caught my attention was this passage in the heart of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel story:
" ... River Bend’s Sunset ... topped all the other wines in this year’s competition, which included just over 125 submissions from just over 20 different wineries. What’s surprising here is that this sweet red is made with Concord grapes purchased from New York State. Yes, the kind of grapes that go into the jelly you put on your peanut butter sandwich."
