So one of the main problems I've had with writing this blog is the fact that I'm writing it as if I were still in NH and I'm not trying to be a promoter of New Hampshire in the sense that I want people to go there. I do want to raise the awareness of New Hampshire but do it in a passive kind of way. With that said here's another cool monthly piece that will focus on a travel aspect of NH.
This Month it's all about the wines! NH has some hidden gems and wine is always one of those products that people hold in high regard and only buy quote 'the good stuff'. Well let me throw this at you...
Jewell Towne Vineyards. Check it out and check out it's medal list here. That is just the first of the wineries that was featured but if you venture to the State's VisitNH.gov site you'll see there are three distinct regions in New Hampshire for wine.
The Seacoast Region (top suggested wineries by visitnh.gov) - Flaghill Winery in Lee, Jewell Towne which is in South Hampton and Zorvino in Sandown which actually has locally grown and imported grapes to make their wines.
The Merrimack Valley - Candia Vineyards, which specializes in fine wine and was "...NH’s only Diamond, Frontenac, LaCrosse, Noiret and LaCrescent wines, they were N.E.’s #1 most awarded vineyard at the Eastern States wine competition".
The Monadnock Valley - LaBelle Winery, this winery uses assorted fruits to present it's variations of wine.
None of these are distinctly close to eachother it's not a set up like the Finger Lakes Region or the Napa Valley Region but you could certainly complete a New Hampshire wine tour in one weekend. For more detailed info and maps check out the wineries websites.
