Nassau Valley Vineyards
Nassau Valley Vineyards was the first winery in the state of Delaware in the United States, and is currently the largest in the state.〔 When jazz singer Peggy Raley decided to open a winery in Delaware, she first had to get the local state legislature to pass a law allowing wineries in the state.〔Beth Rubin, ''Delaware Curiosities: Quirky Characters, Roadside Oddities & Other Offbeat Stuff'' (2007) (ISBN 978-0762743353)〕〔Carlo DeVito, ''East Coast wineries: a complete guide from Maine to Virginia'' (2004) (ISBN 978-0813533124)〕 By 1991 she drafted the necessary legislation, and she obtained a license and opened the vineyard in 1993. Until October 2007, when Pizzadili Winery opened, it was the first and only winery in the state.〔T. Stevenson, ''De meest complete wijnencyclopedie'' (in Dutch) p.519 (2006)〕 There are eight acres of property at the site, and it caters to the beach-bound tourist traffic in the area.〔Kevin Zraly, ''Kevin Zraly's American Wine Guide'', p.9 (2007)〕
==History==
Nassau Valley Vineyards is a pioneer in the modern Delaware wine industry, helping to resurrect the industry in the late 20th century. Prior to the winery's foundation, the history of viticulture in Delaware was sporadic. In the 1630s, the Swedes encouraged their New Sweden settlers in the Delaware River valley to plant grapevines and produce wine that could possibly be exported back to Sweden, a country with little native viticulture of its own. When the Dutch took over the area in the mid 17th century and renamed it New Netherland, they similarly promoted viticulture in the area but found the area more suited for apple orchards. From then on, viticulture and winemaking in Delaware was mostly confined to home winemaking until the late 20th century when Nassau Valley Vineyards opened up the first commercial winery in the state.〔T. Stevenson ''"The Sotheby's Wine Encyclopedia"'' pg 519 Dorling Kindersley 2005 ISBN 0-7566-1324-8〕
In the 1980s, Peggy Raley was working for ''Les Amis du Vin International'' (a wine appreciation organization). Throughout her travels in wine regions across the globe, she became convinced of the viticultural potential in her native state of Delaware. Between 1987 and 1988, she planted 7 acres (2.83 hectares) of grapes. At the time Delaware state laws leftover from the Prohibition in the United States prevented the possibility of Raley opening a winery from which she could sell wines to consumers. Raley began a campaign to change these laws, lobbying the state legislature and even drafting the 1991 legislation, herself, that was ultimately passed and signed into law. In 1993, Nassau Valley Vineyards was finally permitted to sell Delaware wine as the state's first commercial winery.〔M. Lambert-Gocs ''"(Delmarva dreamin' )"'' Wines and Vines, September 2005 issue〕
