A tough question this week! The answer is…
A!
The nation's first commercial grapevine nursery was located in Montgomery County (in southeastern Pennsylvania – my neck of the woods!). PA now farms approximately 14,000 acres of grapes, making it the 4th largest area nationally in terms of the amount of grapes grown. The state also ranks 7th overall in the U.S. in wine production.
Cheers!
