Honestly, keeping a blog has not been a priority for us. Although we love our winery visits, and we keep fairly extensive notes, this has not translated into keeping an up-to-date blog. We realized that part of this is that we had no focus for this forum. It has been a bit of a journal, but that in of itself doesn't make it worth reading by others.
We are proud of how our knowledge and tastes have changed over the last three years, but we do not consider ourselves wine experts. We know what we like, and we'll share that with others, but as the saying goes, it's the journey, not the destination. The focus of this blog will be the people and the settings of the wineries we visit. Don't expect us to slam a wine that someone has put their heart and time into, but don't be surprised if we slam someone for not being welcoming or for being snobby.
We've had so many wonderful experiences, and we've met such delightful and generous people. This is what the Virginia wine experience should be, and we'll celebrate it when we see it and wag a finger when we don't. We want everyone who visits a VA winery -- whether it's one that produces tens of thousands of cases of wine a year or just a few hundred -- to leave saying, "Boy, did we have a fun time . . . and that wine was pretty good too."
