While Massachusetts is well known for its beer industry (Samuel Adams, anyone?), there is a small wine industry starting to develop. Today, there are about 30 wineries in the state and two AVAs: Martha's Vineyard and the Southeastern New England AVA, which is shared with Connecticut and Rhode Island). The majority of the state is rather cold, but vineyards near the various bodied of water, such as Long Island Sound or Cape Cod, are suited for viticulture, thanks to moderating breezes. The most widely planted varieties include Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Riesling, Vidal Blanc and Cayuga. A good percentage of wines from the state, however, are made from fruit, berries and honey.
