Excellent Virginia wine tasting should be your next adventure! Fans of Virginia wineries are happy to know that Virginia wines made the cut in USA Today's article
"10 Great Places for Local Wines". Charlottesville, VA, in particular, was mentioned as one of the 10 Great Places in light of the fact that Thomas Jefferson was one of the first in America to try winemaking and his legacy still influences local winemakers. In honor of Regional Wine Week (Oct. 10-16) Blogger Jeff Siegel and Dave McIntyre, wine critic for the Washington Post, shared their favorite areas in the U.S. for wine tasting. Of our Charlottesville area local wines they specifically mentioned our excellent Viognier, Petit Manseng and Petit Verdot.
