TalkingTree  Looking for a local vineyard and winery in the Northeast US? Try Nimble Hill.

 

Nimble Hill Vineyard and WineryThis past weekend the website and blog for Nimble Hill Vineyard and Winery went live -- a site I constructed with a template from OSWD for the skin, SlideShow Pro for the photo albums, Google Maps API, and BlogCFC for the Journal.

Currently there is one photo album, taken during the first winemaking ever at Nimble Hill, in October 2006. All photos were taken myself. Soon, Nimble Hill will hold the grand opening of the Tasting Room, and I hope to be present to photograph the event for another album.

Nimble Hill is my cousin Gary's winery in the northeast of Pennsylvania. He operates it as a family winery with help from his wife and children. If you're in the vicinity of New York City, New Jersey, or Connecticut then consider taking a country drive for a couple hours to this beautiful part of the state.

This the first time Gary has ever used a blog, and he's just gotten started with his first post. Please stop by to welcome Gary to the blogosphere by posting a comment so that he can see what blogging is all about.

Gary and Ellie opened the winery to have a business where they can work with and alongside their family, whether it be tending vines, crushing grapes, making wine, or minding the tasting room in Tunkhannock.

wine in NE PA? wow. i'm originally from peckville (a bit SE of their vineyards) & we used to have grape vines all over the place but the only thing we ever made was beer & pretty awful rhubarb wine.

have to get somebody to send me a few bottles.

wine in NE PA, who'd have thought ;-)


You'd be surprised. There's a large list of winemakers in Pennsylvania...

oh i *am* surprised, especially the two wineries near my home town. i would have thought the climate would kibosh anything serious. thanks for the info.

though i guess i shouldn't be *that* surprised, thailand has 3 very good wineries, 2 within a day trip of bangkok. i guess if they can make good wine here, it can be made pretty much anywhere ;-)
