A passionate advocate for PA Wines, Jennifer Eckinger is the executive director for the  Pennsylvania Winery Association. In her role, she is an educator and industry spokesperson on behalf of Pennsylvania’s $2 billion wine industry. Eckinger is excited about the continued growth of the industry in the state, which now has more than 14,000 acres of grapes and growing conditions that are unique from other parts of the country — and the world. In fact, PA is home to vineyards growing nearly 60 different varietals, and she has made it her mission to educate people about the interesting wines made as a result.
