@DrinkWhatULike @DrewWilderTV @nbcwashington Wtf.... we grow our own grapes.... in VA!
I am sad to see CA burning, but this not impacting us here.
If we want to talk about climate change, we are more impacted by the relentless hurricane season.... not by fires

@WineTravelerCom @ParadiseSprings @walshfamilywine yes, we are very close to Charlottesville, and the country side is gorgeous around here.... if you stop by on sunday during summer you might have a chance to assist at a polo game.... but also the wines are good! i make them 😉

@WineTravelerCom @ParadiseSprings @walshfamilywine @VisitLoudoun Most of the wineries are open for curbside pick up, or online purchase, and most of them have a wine club... this is a good way to get your wine to your house to go with your meal!
also lot of them are shipping at no cost.... time to fill up your wine cellar! #VAWineNight.

@WineTravelerCom @ParadiseSprings @walshfamilywine @VisitLoudoun you don't need friend to open a bottle of wine!
cook a good meal , pick up a good bottle wine... have fun!

@Virginia_Made @walshfamilywine @ParadiseSprings I am personnaly working more and more with wine with whole cluster fermentation, natural yeast fermentation and with low level of SO2... i am not talking about natural wine.... #VAWineNight.

[Matthieu Finot @FinotMatthieu]

@WineTravelerCom @ParadiseSprings @walshfamilywine @VisitLoudoun i think most people might think about viognier and cab franc....
but more and more BDX blend are showing great potential... While Petit Maseng and Petit Verdot are starting to be noticed! #VAWineNight.

[Matthieu Finot @FinotMatthieu]

@Virginia_Made @walshfamilywine @ParadiseSprings Cabernet franc is my favorite grapes for VA...
if we talk about vineyard or winery i might have different answer!
but cab franc vineyard and winery perform great

@WineTravelerCom @ParadiseSprings @kingfamily , when David and Ellen founded, the winery in the 1998, they wanted to produce premium wine. and quality has always been the driving force behind what we do in the vineyard or in the winery.... winning award is just the icing one the cake! not the goal! #VAwinenight
