50 States. 50 Wineries. @ LENNDEVOURS

It is with mixed emotions that I announce that I've decided to leave Wine Sediments -- the wine wing of the WellFed blog network. 

There are some extremely talented people involved and I was proud to be a part of it. But, real life (and other writing projects) has forced me to step down as a contributor. I wish the rest of the team and the entire network good luck in the future. Hopefully they'll hit it big, get rich and I'll be left feeling like the fifth Beetle.

But fear not, my 50 States 50 Wineries 50 Weeks project will live on here at LENNDEVOURS.

And, just in case you missed them, here's where we've tasted and visited so far:

• #1: Massachusetts -- Westport Rivers
• #2: Oklahoma -- Nuyaka Creek Winery
• #3: Arizona -- Callaghan Vineyards
• #4: Arkansas -- Chateau Aux Arc
• #5: New Mexico -- Gruet Winery
• #6: Hawaii -- Tedeschi Vineyards
• #7: Minnesota -- WineHaven Winery
• #8: North Dakota -- Pointe of View Winery
• #9: Utah -- Spanish Valley Vineyards

There is a one-week hiatus for the project today (the 50 weeks part of the project is proving difficult) but the 50 train will roll on next week with a visit to one of the East Coast's best wine areas -- Virginia.

Can't wait for your Virginia report. I was in Richmond for a couple of days family business, and I have to tell you that it was HARD to find Virginia wines in the wine shops, especially ones that I hadn't had before. (Forget the supermarkets and so forth.)

But I presume you're going to the wineries, which should solve the problem...enjoy!

And BTW, congratulations on the little nipper, or wee tippler, as the case may be.

Lenn, I love your blog, and I'm only a beginner with wine, but, let me just tell you (if you don't know already), Michigan will be great (and my native Indiana has some suprises, too). I love the 50 states thing--I'm addicted. Thanks!

For your Colorado selection I would recommend DeBeque Canyon or Colorado Cellars.
