Why Did Pennsylvania Become a Liquor Control State?

PAVC Takes an In-Depth Look at the Founding of the PA Liquor Control Board (PLCB) Perusing the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board Wikipedia page recently — as the dedicated wine history lover and commonwealth citizen is wont to do — I noticed a quote I’d surely seen before, but for whatever reason gave me pause that… [...]

Tasting Session: Bella Terra Vineyards

With the purchase of Briar Valley Winery in 2020, Bella Terra — who had opened in 2015 as an event-focused winery — solidified their place as the leading dry vinifera producer in PA’s southwest. Funnily enough, being on the western side of PA, they tend to align more to a west-coast style of winemaking, highlighting… [...]

Tasting Session: Armstrong Valley Winery

Tasting Session: Armstrong Valley Winery

Though many PA wineries strive to emulate other cool climate regions — such as the Loire or Mosel valleys in Europe — Armstrong Valley take the opposite approach. These wines are all about the ripe, rich fruit and high alcohol that one finds in places like Napa and Australia. To be honest, I find myself… [...]

PAVC Update, October 2020

Whelp, the world has changed quite a bit since we restarted this little project at the beginning of the year. I don’t think any of us could’ve predicted what was about to happen back then! At any rate, local wineries need our support more than ever. How about writing a review of your favorite? Or… [...]

Tasting Session: Karamoor Estate Whites & Rosé

I recently tasted through several white and rosé wines from Karamoor Estate in Fort Washington, PA (that I purchased from their website and had shipped to my home). Here are some quick thoughts: Karamoor Estate Rosé 2018 ($24) Nicely balanced. Fully watermelon Jolly Rancher up front, but enough acid and just a touch of tannin… [...]

PAVC Update, Coronavirus Edition

PAVC Update, Coronavirus Edition

It’s mid-March, and most of us are now living with work-from-home quarantines, school closures, Philly Wine Week postponements, and, of course, “social distancing.” I have little interest in getting into the nuances of the Coronavirus spread and response, but I do want to wish every one of you good health during this crazy time, as… [...]
