New York has a network of wine trails but it isn't the only eastern state to have wineries. Connecticut now has a a wine trail, actually two trails, an Eastern Trail along the Connecticut shoreline and a Western Trail along the Connecticut highlands. Wines grown in Connecticut include Chardonnays, Cabernet Francs, dry Rieslings and Seval Blanc as well as late harvest Vidal and Vignoles and sparkling wines and cider. All of the wineries on the trail have tasting rooms where reservations are not needed. A brochure on the wineries can be downloaded from the Connecticut Wine Trail website.
