Other Connecticut Wines We Sell!

Chamard Vineyards ~ Clinton, CT
Chamard benefits from a unique micro-climate influenced greatly by Long Island Sound. Located two miles from the sound and six miles from the mouth of the Connecticut River, this maritime climate produces mild winter temperatures and a long, warm growing season. Bishop's features Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot from Chamard Vineyards.

Hopkins Vineyards ~ New Preston, CT
The unique location of Hopkins Vineyard makes it the only vineyard in Connecticut influenced by an inland lake; this extends their growing season and allows them to grow grape varieties which ordinarily would not thrive in our climate. Bishop's features Hopkin's Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc, Sachem's Picnic and Vineyard Reserve. Those of you who appreciate a true dessert wine will be pleased with Hopkin's late-harvest Vidal Blanc.

Jones Family Farm Winery ~ Shelton, CT
For over one hundred and fifty years, six generations of the Jones family have farmed their land in the White Hills of Shelton, Connecticut. The Jones Winery continues the family tradition of growing high quality crops that celebrate the great bounty of local farmlands. The farm's vineyard and famous berry harvests allow the winery to create a wonderful selection of traditional grape wines and specialty fruit wines. Bishop's features Jonses' Raspberry Rhapsody, Black Curreant Bouquet and Blueberry Bliss dessert wines and their Ripton Red Wine.
