I enjoy a good glass of wine on occasion, and I enjoy visiting good wineries. Unfortunately, I live in Virginia! Until last weekend, I would have told you that I have yet to find a Virginia wine that I enjoy. I was visiting a winery because it was a beautiful day and it was equal distance between my house and my friend’s.
