Congratulations to the winners.
Fauquier County’s Third Annual Wine Tasting & Competition attracted 500 wine connoisseurs and 14 local wineries to Airlie on Saturday, February 25th. Attendees tasted wine & food pairings and voted for their favorite wines in the "People's Choice" Competition. During the public event, three certified wine judges tasted those same wines, and voted for their own favorites.
