Nebraska’s climate, with its long, hot summers, cold winters, and wide seasonal variations in precipitation and humidity limits the ability to grow European grape varietals.  Most Nebraska grapes are French-American hybrids and American varietals; varieties commonly grown include Edelweiss, St. Croix, and Vignoles.  Even so, many Nebraska wines are undeniably drinkable and pair well with meals or make for great sipping.  Visit Big Dog’s Beverage in Elkhorn for a good selection of Nebraska wine in the Omaha area.
