Chaddsford's Eric Miller checks in


Eric Miller of Chaddsford Winery describes the business of making wine in Pennsylvania as evolving, comparing some parts of the state to how he remembers New York 35 years ago when he and his father were just starting out. No doubt, he agrees, it's encouraging that each year brings the opening of new wineries. As for national respect? "We're not ready for national recognition," he says in an interview that touches on several subjects. "The American consumer just learned how to say Pinot Noir and Pinot Grigio. They cannot say Pennsylvania yet."
