The DELMARVA (Delaware, Maryland, Virginia) Peninsula is an east coast strip running from the Chesapeake Bay Bridge/Tunnel north for 170 miles. The ecological haven is rich with farming and sea life. We spent a week exploring this visually interesting area with stays on a Harvest Host and Boondockers Welcome property. This fairly narrow land mass had lots of great seafood restaurants, quaint historic towns and plenty of places for provisioning. The laid-back culture made for a relaxing time. Newfound friends, Theresa and Ken, live in the area we called home and it was great to have the opportunity to meet up and spend some quality time. We hope to have the chance to get together in the future. Our Boondockers Welcome host was very engaging as well and we enjoyed the time spent with him and on his rural property. Being on the road gives us a chance to meet so many interesting folks. Sharing stories and information makes the experience very rewarding. Two of the highlights of our stay in DELMARVA were a wonderful seafood dinner, on the water, for Janet’s birthday and a visit to a quality winery in Lewes. Our shellfish dinner and bottle of white along with the perfect waterfront setting was memorable. We spent several hours enjoying the food, drink and moment. Wine is literally everywhere, and first reaction is generally based on area. Well, truth be told, you don’t need to be in Napa or Virginia to experience a solid product. You need several things to produce the fruit of the vine. The proper terroir, the environmental factors necessary for vitis vinifiera grape growth, mature vines, careful viticulture and a winemaker who is knowledgeable and trained in winemaking. If you have all of that there is a chance that balanced wine can be produced. Proof in the pudding is amount of quality wine being produced in many unsuspecting parts of the planet. We love wine and have years of experience and education that help us to know what we don’t like. It has taken many more years to develop a sense of what we do like and why we like it. A fun hobby that goes with us wherever we travel. Wine snobs, no, just lovers of the all aspects of the grape. Our journey will continue as we take the Lewes Ferry to Cape May, NJ. No matter where we travel, or live Jersey is our home. The Garden State, once in your blood, never leaves. The state gets a bad rap, but it truly is a diverse land mass and a beautiful one at that.
