Do You Know Where Your Wine Has Been?

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, there’s plenty to tell.

Read the whole story in their book. You might just find a new favorite grape growing in your own backyard.
