What restaurants have you visited and discovered local wines? Eat and drink local is very popular especially at this time of year with fresh produce becoming available around the country. Kudos to all restaurants who focus on local fresh produce. In addition, praise to all restaurants who offer visitors a choice of local wines. Restaurant owners should realize that they benefit by people who visit their area wineries and need a place to eat. Restaurants and wineries can support each other in this endeavor. Whenever you visit a restaurant, be sure to ask what local wines they have on their wine list. Local means different things to different people. Is local within a state, 100 miles away or 25 miles?  What does local mean to you?

Support your local wineries! They are your neighbors!
