Awesome Saturday in Charlottesville. What more needs to be written?
The plan was to visit four or maybe five vineyards for a mid-winter respite.
We actually visited six and passed a seventh without stopping.
The day was beautiful and warmer--still not above freezing for most of the day, but warmer without the biting wind.
The vineyards?
King Family - I highly recommend a visit
White Hall - I highly recommend
Stinson - Limited selection but a nice in between stop
Veritas - Great tasting room, but I didn't really think the wines were drinking that well
Flying Fox - Nice stop--especially for reds. This was a a first time visit for me.
Trump - This was my first visit. The sparkling wines are good, the non-sparkling wines are average at best.
Today we are off to Keswick for the Consensus Blending to see if we can create a winning wine.
