Wine country

We tried a few wine tastings in Long Island last weekend - a first for me (despite my pipedream of opening a winery someday). I had no idea that this area of New York had so many vineyards. There must have been over a dozen different wineries on the way into Southold, all on the same road, and many of them right next to each other. For about $5 you could try 5 different wines -- small glasses, of course, but not a bad deal at all, considering that you feel pretty damn good by that fifth glass (Who says you really have to spit it out?) So now of course my mind is racing with ideas on how this same setup could become popular in this area. There are several vineyards and wineries in the Central Pa region, but I wouldn't say the popularity is quite RAGING. I do hope to check out some of these places this spring/summer, just to get a feel for them, and maybe even take a few tours to see what they're production looks like. Just curious, you know?
