. . . but we're going to keep trying. The PoLo wine club just completed another 2-day tour of some of the wineries in Northern VA. We can check off #64-73. We started off with a private tasting at Zephaniah -- excellent wine, impressive location (antiques galore), and a warm and welcoming hostess. We also visited Casanel, Willowcroft, Bluemont, Twin Oaks (another spectacular private tasting), and Veramar, where we saw our new old friends, Chatham Street. And that was just day one.
Day 2 started off with a bang. We spent more than an hour enjoying the wine, food, and views at Fox Meadow. The day continued on an upward trajectory with visits to Naked Mountain, Aspen Dale, and Three Fox. Knowing that Chatham Street would be performing at Barrel Oak, we adjusted our plans, and went there for the last visit of the weekend. Great wine. Great music. Great people.
We contemplated spending another night up there but then thought better of it. Best to leave on a high note. The Postmans headed south. The Loquastos headed north. We're now in the warmth and safety of our own homes.
There's much more to say about these visits, but I'm tired and my fingers just want to take the rest of me to bed. Our next trip will probably be to hit a few that we've missed closer to home. Stay tuned.
