Exotic Yet Local By Roger Morris
Beyond chardonnay and sauvignon blanc, there’s a whole world of exciting white wines.
Many foodies around the Brandywine Valley region have bought into the idea of eating local, shopping
at the area’s many farmers markets and opting for menu items that use ingredients raised or grown on regional farms. Fewer, however, have warmed to the idea of drinking local.
And that’s a shame, as there are several fine local wineries producing enjoyable and affordable bottles. The summer months are perfect for exploring cool whites—not just chardonnay and sauvignon blanc but also more unique varieties made from exotic grapes from around the world.
