Stonington Vineyards

Huh-Huh, STONE-ington, Huh-Huh Stonington Vineyards, Stonington October 24, 2009 I’ve come to love Stonington. I really like its sea-faring (and therefore, seafood) roots. It’s not all snobby like some of the shore towns to the west, but it certainly could be, because it’s just as pretty as any other town along … [Read more...]

Maugle Sierra Vineyards

I Straugle with the Name Maugle Maugle Sierra Vineyards, Ledyard July 11, 2009 "Maugle." I've tried and tried to find the derivation of the word and have come up with nothing.
