Montco Winery Serves Jalapeño Wine At Farm Show

From fried zucchini to a tortilla crusted tilapia sandwich,  at the 2012 Pennsylvania Farm Show is in good company.

The event features a variety of wines from across the state to complement just about any farm show fare.

For wineries, the Farm Show offers a great marketing opportunity, said Christopher Boyd, of Boyd's Cardinal Hollow Winery in Montgomery County.

Boyd's has locations in North Wales, Warminster, Skippack and Coopersburg.

This is Boyd's second year to bring his wine to the Farm Show, he said. 

"It's excellent," he said while serving samples of his wine to folks waiting in line. "There's lots of traffic. It's nonstop."

Boyd on Tuesday featured several wines at the show including a non-grape variety made from 100 percent jalapeños.

"It won't burn your eyes or your lips but it is warm," Boyd writes on the winery's website. "The aroma is just like the pepper and then once you sip it, it fills your mouth with the jalapeño flavor and warmth. As you swallow, you will feel the warmth all the way down."
