Thanks to University of Bridgeport English professors Amy Nawrocki and Eric D. Lehman, now you do. Their new book, "A History of Connecticut Wine: A Vineyard in Your Backyard," published last month by The History Press, illuminates the past and present of Connecticut winemaking.
With more than 30 vineyards in our state and a longstanding history of wine-producing vineyards dating back to the colonial days, theres plenty to tell.
Read the whole story in their book. You might just find a new favorite grape growing in your own backyard.
