We'd like to say thank you to everyone who has taken the time to read our first blog posts for Taste of the Trail. While we've been on Facebook for quite awhile with a fan page of our own, we've recently expanded our social media involvement to LinkedIn, Twitter and Flickr too.
If you have a profile or account with these web sites, we'd love to connect with you there too. So please check us out. These sites are yet another way to stay connected to the Wine Trail and its member wineries. They're a great way to find out about upcoming special events, promotions, news and more!

Mark your calendars for our next event - A.V.A. Weekend
An AVA is a federal designation that enables vintners to better describe the origin of their wines and to allow consumers to identify wines they purchase. The Lehigh Valley AVA is distinguished in part by rolling hillsides, an agricultural climate and soil composed mainly of shale, sandstone and siltstone.
It means that when you drink wine from a Lehigh Valley Wine Trail winery, you know that you are drinking something that is locally produced, unique, and specifically crafted to best showcase the Lehigh Valley!
This event will feature educational components at each winery as we teach you about what the French call "terroir" or the soil. We'll explain how the soil in our region effects the growing of the grapes and the wine's resulting taste. Some wineries will offer vineyard tours and talks, while others will feature tastings and food pairings.
Event hours are Saturday from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. and Sunday from noon - 5 p.m. We hope you will join us! Stay tuned for more information!

Pinnacle Ridge Winery graces the cover of a leading trade magazine
This is a high profile placement for the winery in a key trade publication. Owners Brad Knapp and Christy Allen were interviewed for the article which also features several great photos of the winery.
Our blogger friend Paul Vigna with The Wine Classroom picked up on it and added his own input in his blog post.
Have you visited Pinnacle Ridge? What wines did you try? Which one was your favorite?
We'd like to hear from you. Give us your feedback!
