ERIC & LEE MILLER

Eric Miller developed his interest in wine naturally when, as a child, he lived near many of the famous vineyards of Europe. In the mid 1960s, after spending a year in the tiny village of Saint Romaine, Burgundy, his family moved back to New York's Hudson Valley where they founded the state's first farm winery, Benmarl Vineyards, and built it to national prominence in the 1970s. In 1981, Eric left New York to start Chaddsford Winery with his wife Lee, a wine journalist who had published "Wine East of the Rockies" and co-founded Wine East magazine.

For the Millers, the first step in founding Chaddsford Winery was to scour the east coast to find what they believed was the best grape growing region for their new venture. This journey brought them to the beautiful and historic Brandywine Valley in southeast Pennsylvania, and ultimately to the 17th century colonial barn that is still the winery's home. Today, the Millers still believe they have found the best grape growing region on the east coast, and continue to work toward establishing the Atlantic Uplands as a significant American wine district.
