“When we were in Downtown Bangor, we would be told over and over again that if we could just pick our store up and put it in a town with better foot traffic that we’d find success,” says Don Andreas of Clever Girl Winery. So that’s what he did, moving the winery’s tasting room to The Commodore in Downtown Easton. Now Clever Girl has doubled the number of their sangria flavors, increased their beer selection to include various Pennsylvania breweries like Saucony Creek and Tröegs, and added a selection of cocktails, mocktails and martinis to their menu. While not a full-on restaurant, Clever Girl does carry a selection of cold sharable items that pair perfectly with their beverage offerings, and activities like charcuterie classes and paint and sips are also on offer. But the heart of this venture is still Andreas’ wine, born out of a desire for a home winemaker to create a side-hustle that eventually became something much bigger. His wines, made in Pennsylvania from grapes grown around the world, remain the star of the show. Treat yourself to one of Clever Girl’s more popular pours, the merlot, syrah or pinot grigio.
