October is Pennsylvania Wine Month, and officials from the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board and Department of Agriculture have joined with the Pennsylvania Winery Association and a number of member wineries to kick off activities celebrating Pennsylvania wines and wineries.
Pennsylvania Winery Association President Jamie Williams says they are excited to have Pennsylvania wines highlighted in stores throughout the state this month.
He adds that there’s no better way to celebrate this year’s harvest than to enjoy locally grown and crafted wines.
In 2014, Fine Wine & Good Spirits stocked 134 different Pennsylvania wines, generating nearly $5.5 million in sales from these stores alone. These figures do not account for Pennsylvania wine sold at local wineries, at festivals, or at restaurants that buy directly from the wineries.
