What does matter though is that the Norton grape is a true American grape that enjoys more and more popularity with wine lovers. Since Mr. Bauer's comments (he is a devout Norton lover)more wineries have opted to make a Norton wine. One such winery is the Paradise Springs Winery in Clifton, Virginia. The grapes though came from Chrysalis which, by the way, has the largest Norton planting in world. The quality of those grapes every year have been phenominal. Go visit.

Admitedly it is more fun to read with a decanted bottle of Norton which has been let to breathe for at least 30 minutes. There are now 184 Norton vineyards in 22 states. After tasting over 84 Norton (Cynthiana) wines, some of my favorites come from: Three Sister (GA); White Oaks (AL); Century Farms (TN); Elk Creek (KY); Cooper (VA); Stone Mountain Cellars (PA), Blumenhof, Heinrichshaus, Stone Hill's Cross J, Adam Puchta & Robller (MO).B.
