Afoot in Connecticut 41 - Garter Snake in a Tree

A Little Inspiration

East Coast Wineries

"It's a great book. If you like wine and live or are visiting New England, you should buy a bottle of Connecticut wine and read this book, either in a Adaronack chair by Long Island Sound or the Atlantic Ocean, or on the porch of some lovely back country summer home or inn. A fun, wonderful read!" - says Carlo Devito, author of East Coast Wineries: A Complete Guide from Maine to Virginia in his post over on his excellent blog. Thanks Carlo! We appreciate it.

Hopkins Barrel Festival
