NC Wine Industry When it comes to domestic wine production we often think of Northern California or the rugged coastal region of Oregon, but North Carolina was once the nation's largest wine producer and its working it's way back as a major player. North Carolina is now the country's 7th largest wine making region and the Yadkin Valley has received the state's first federal designation as an American Viticultural Area. We'll meet two vineyard owners from Yadkin Valley as well as long time wine writer and educator, Catherine Rabb. Guests Catherine Rabb - Associate Professor, Johnson & Wales Amy Helton - President, NC Wine Growers Assoc. & Co-Owner, Hanover Park Vineyard Michael Helton - Board Member, NC Wine and Grape Council, Co-Owner, Hanover Park Vineyard NC Wine Council NC Wine Growers Visit NC Wine Click here to add and read comments
