Rhode Island, the Ocean State, has a mild climate because of its low altitude and moderating sea breezes—good for raising grapes for wine. "Little Rhody" may not be large, but one doesn't need huge tracts of land for vineyards to make good wine. Several Rhode Island wineries (Sakonnet Vineyards of Little Compton is a prime example) have been doing it for decades—since 1975 in the case of Sakonnet. Newer wineries, such as Newport Vineyards, lost no time in catching up, having planted it s first vines in 1977. Newport Vineyards' Vidal Ice Wine is exquisite!
