Nashville's hidden 'wine country' provides taste of Tennessee in whiskey barrels

Nashville's Arrington Vineyards is carving out a niche in Tennessee's wine industry by utilizing Chambourcin grapes and whiskey barrels, reflecting the local terroir and winemaking expertise. This development comes amid a politically charged atmosphere in Tennessee, where external influences, such as the MAGA super PAC's involvement in local elections, are shaping the landscape. As Tennessee navigates these political dynamics, the emergence of local businesses like Arrington Vineyards underscores a growing appreciation for regional products, contributing to the state's cultural identity and economic diversification.
