conditions to make outstanding wines. South Jersey9s Outer Coastal Plain has the same climate and soil as the Bordeaux region in
France, producing world-class wines that are quite affordable. There are over 50 wineries and vineyards 3 some use old-school
winemaking techniques or modern technology, while some pick grapes by hand, but all produce award-winning vino.
State of New York: Enticing wine lovers with its cool-climate grapes and family-run wineries. As the fourth-largest wine-producing state in
the country, with seven AVAs and several sub-AVAs, there9s a lot to explore in New York Wine Country. Our course takes a closer look at

revitalization of Ohio9s wine industry, with more than 130 Ohio wineries located within five American Viticultural Areas (AVA).

AVA), these regions are set apart for their climate, soil and elevation, which make grapes grown there distinctly different from grapes
grown in any other state.
