And, particularly unique to New Jersey wineries are an array of fruit wines such as raspberry, cherry and blueberry, which are exported by some New Jersey wineries all over the world. Because of the climate and conditions of the state, New Jersey wines are most often compared by viticulturists and enologists to the wines of France and Italy.

People have been asking me why I'm looking at homes for sale in New Jersey . They don't understand why I'd want to move to Jersey with all of the "Snooki's." I think I am going to begin to refer them to this post. I grew up in New Jersey before I moved to Tennessee, and this is what I remember about it. Thank you for showing people the good things New Jersey has to offer.
