Abstract:
Sandon Dennis made wine as a hobby in 1997. When the local Lutheran Church in Albemarle began using it for communion, parishioners started to meet Dennis in the parking lot after the service to buy bottles. In 1998, Cornell University researchers discovered the wine had the fourth highest levels of the antioxidant resveratrol that they had ever tested. Dennis soon left his job in computer consulting to become a full-time winemaker. Dennis Vineyards produces 26,000 gallons of wine a year, all produced from the sweet Muscadine grape native to North Carolina.

This special NORTH CAROLINA magazine community profile supplement features Stanly County. Although the county is generally rural, with farms, mountains, streams, and small towns, urban amenities are less than an hour away in Charlotte. The county has nine incorporated towns, with Albemarle as the county seat. Textiles brought prosperity to the county in the late 1890s, and today the textile industry remains the third largest private employer. Retail sale increased over the last five years, and the county is developing as a regional shopping area. The county school system had the state's highest K-12 test scores in 2005. The county has boundless tourism opportunities, including Morrow Mountain State Park.
