You think maybe the Vikings were making wine in Vineland? And of
course there was Sir Walter Raleigh's colony at Roanoke Island where
Virginia Dare was born. The first wine I ever drank was Virginia Dare,
made in Norfolk, VA. I wonder if it was the same winery. 1597 was long
before the Jamestown Colony.

I used to see bottles of their wine, maybe 20-25 years ago? Only seen the
flavorings these days, and not frequently...

It was my mother's favorite, too!
