I just realized that I haven’t posted any of the photos I took from the Virginia Wine Expo. Here are just a couple.
Veritas Vineyards tasting booth
I’m a big fan of this vineyard if for no other reason than because my brother-in-law got married here. Anybody looking to get married at a Virginia vineyard should really consider them.
Stone Mountain Vineyards tasting booth
You may take your life in your hand to get to the tasting room, but Stone Mountain offers one of the best places to enjoy a bottle of wine with their deck overlooking the Shenandoah mountains.
Jefferson Vineyards tasting booth
Amazing Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot are reasons enough to visit this vineyard.
Potomac Point Winery tasting booth
Potomac Point is quickly becoming one of my favorite places to visit. With their amazing patio, great wines, and welcoming nature, whether you enjoy their wine or not (and I think you will), you’ll enjoy spending an afternoon at their tasting room.
Tarara Winery tasting booth
I’d never heard of Tarara before the Virginia Wine Expo, but they’ve quickly made their way onto my list of places to visit in the coming year.
Vino Curioso tasting booth
These guys just clearly enjoy making wine. With wines like Franc the Tank and Snake’s Den, there’s nothing pretentious or snooty about their wine, but it’s great quality wine that you’re sure to enjoy time and again.
Varietal: Pinot Grigio
Region: Virginia – USA
Cost: $16
A dryer pinot grigio, this white is more in the Italian style, with a very golden color and light flavors of melon. Pairs well with chicken, pork, or with light appetizers.
Recommendations: As I’ve moved more into dryer wines, I’ve moved away from pinot grigios as a general rule, preferring Sauvignon Blanc and Reserve Chardonnay for my whites. That being said, I’m actually a big fan of the Stone Mountain Pinot Grigio. A fairly dry pinot grigio, this white is great for enjoying with food, light appetizers, or just by itself, and will please dry wine drinkers that are looking for a lighter white. Perfect for a Spring day on the deck.
