When it comes to w**e regions, you can’t get more local than the w**es of Northern Virginia. We consider ourselves incredibly lucky to have such a premium w**e region so close to home! But with so many w**eries to choose from, such as Linden, Glen Manor, and Crimson Lane, a little guidance on the who’s who of Northern Virginia w**es may be necessary. That’s where we come in.

The Shenandoah Valley is one of the most prominent American Viticultural Areas in Virginia. These grapes often end up in blends made by w**eries in monticello, charlottesville, & nova. But there is a reason these grapes are so sought after by the w**emakers to the south! Let’s look closer at the region and taste w**es made entirely of grapes grown in the shenandoah valley to see what this rugged region has to offer!

Since the first European settlers landed in the state, there have been dreamers keen on creating an internationally acclaimed w**e industry in Virginia. Perhaps the most famous of these dreamers was Thomas Jefferson, who saw the potential of the land to support an agricultural industry that could fund a revolution and legitimize the United States as a key member in the global economy. While Jefferson was able to inspire the beginnings of Virginia W**e production, the development of the industry he dreamed of was not accomplished in his lifetime. In fact, the history of Virginia w**es has been a tumultuous series of ups and downs, but in the past fifty years, we’ve seen the growth of a truly remarkable w**e region, right in our own backyard!

Drinking w**e at the right temperature can be tricky. Red w**e service is more complex than simply pouring straight out of a room temperature bottle. Not all red w**es are meant to be served at the same temperature at all! Some reds can benefit from a chill, making them the perfect w**e for these hot end-of-summer days!

Every w**e you’ve ever had started as a grape on a farm, yet like any many industries, the exploitation of workers to fill manual labor positions is common in w**e. We’ll discuss ethics in the vineyard/w**ery & highlight w**emakers & growers who prioritize labor rights while still producing world-class products.Let’s show them some support this Labor Day weekend!
