@vawinetime @swirlsipsnark Absolutely. That would be great. Enjoyed #vawinechat immensely

[Emily Pelton @VeritasVintner]

@swirlsipsnark Can't wait for 2013 thats for sure #vawinechat @vawinetime

[Emily Pelton @VeritasVintner]

@GrapeEnvyGuy I think that we have good variability in Mont AVA. Fun for blending though. #vawinechat

[Emily Pelton @VeritasVintner]

@vawinetime @swirlsipsnark mineral nots from Linden are terroir in a nutshell #vawinechat

[Emily Pelton @VeritasVintner]

@GrapeEnvyGuy Shenandoah is much more acid in nature for sure #vawinechat

[Emily Pelton @VeritasVintner]

@DrinkWhatULike @CellarBlog ignoring that comment. Seriously? :)

[Emily Pelton @VeritasVintner]

@GrapeEnvyGuy @vawinetime the heat eats up our acid in central virginia. #vawinechat

[Emily Pelton @VeritasVintner]

@vawinetime @GrapeEnvyGuy not so stylistic, it is what they are given. I would give my right arm for more acid down here #vawinechat

[Emily Pelton @VeritasVintner]

@GrapeEnvyGuy Not emphasize, but showcase. Pretty much try not to get in the way. Nature speaks. #vawinechat @swirlsipsnark

[Emily Pelton @VeritasVintner]

@GrapeEnvyGuy @WineAboutVa as the winemkrs focus their style in specific vineyard lots, we should be able to id wout a doubt #vawinechat

[Emily Pelton @VeritasVintner]

@GrapeEnvyGuy we pull out vineyard lots that catch our attention, that are different. Pinpoint.. maybe not, notice.. definately #vawinechat

[Emily Pelton @VeritasVintner]

@GrapeEnvyGuy I think it at least focuses the conversation. #vawinechat

[Emily Pelton @VeritasVintner]

@swirlsipsnark @CuveeCommunique #vawinechat and as I said bf they are often the same person. Magic.

[Emily Pelton @VeritasVintner]

@swirlsipsnark @CuveeCommunique #vawinechat There is not a winemaker that doesnt need the grower nor a grower that doesnt need the winemaker

[Emily Pelton @VeritasVintner]

@CellarBlog @CuveeCommunique @vawinetime #vawinechat unless they are one in the same.

[Emily Pelton @VeritasVintner]

@vawinetime #vawinechat In a vineyard you have specific blocks. Single vineyard has to be a specific block. you can't blend blocks.

[Emily Pelton @VeritasVintner]

@CuveeCommunique @vawinetime #vawinechat It is the highest level of attention to detail.

[Emily Pelton @VeritasVintner]

@WineAboutVa @vawinetime @DelaplaneCellrs #vawinechat vineyard designates take a lot of time to find. They are the gems. truly.

[Emily Pelton @VeritasVintner]

@vawinetime #vawinechat @sipswirlsnark yes and no. I have Merlot in 3 sites on property. Only my SB is consistantly single vineyard
