The Underdog

America loves the underdog ever since the colonists fought the greatest military force in the world at the time; remember JFK vs. Nixon, Clay vs. Liston, the New York Jets with Joe Namath, Rocky Balboa, the Red Sox of a few years back, or the NY Giants vs. the New England Patriots.

Well folks, meet the J. Maki Winery at French Creek Ridge Vineyards near little ‘ole Elverson, 50 miles west of Philadelphia.

Yes, we…

• are in Pennsylvania, a state not noted for premium wine.
• have a female winemaker, a rarity in the wine business.
• are small, but growing.
• create some of the best champagne in the world, year after year, from our grapes.
• are the underdog.

But, as we have learned, underdogs frequently surprise… taste and you shall know.
