Post a CommentVermont has Maple wine, but it's not pure Maple Syrup; it's in combination with grape wine.
Why can't New York State get the Maple Producers together with the many wine producers and come up with 100% Pure Maple Wine?
Where can I purchase NYS Maple Wine from 100% Maple Syrup?
When visiting Nova Scotia we found 3 producers of 100% Maple wine.
Why don't NYS maple syrup producers partner with NYS wineries and produce maple wine?
I certainly learned plenty of new information about the types of products that come from New York state, from maple syrup to fruits and vegetables. Thanks :)
