Wine Region in the Brandywine Valley.
Pennsylvania
wines? Are you crazy? When Eric and Lee Miller moved to Chadds Ford
in 1982 to start the Chaddsford Winery this was the question they heard most
often. Today, 30 years later, they are referred to as pioneers of the
Pennsylvania wine industry, architects of the Brandywine Valley Wine Trail, and
nationally recognized winemakers. Come hear the story of their 30 year
struggle to grow grapes, make premium wines and create a popular wine
region where none existed before. The Miller’s lecture will be followed by a
book signing for Eric’s new book, The
Vintner's Apprentice.
