There is great news for Virginia wine lovers and anyone wanting to explore Virginia wines. In April the DrinkLocalWine organization is sponsoring the 2^nd Drink Local Wine Conference. This year, the conference will be held in Loudoun County, Virginia from April 24-26.

This conference is open to the public so be sure to make plans to attend and discover what all the excitement is about. Events to be included in the conference are panel discussions as well as the Twitter Taste-Off of Virginia wines.

We had the opportunity in 2009 to participate in the 1^st DrinkLocalWine.com Conference held in Texas. It was a delightful experience for any wine enthusiast. So be sure to consider attending this year’s DrinkLocalWine.com conference. For more information, visit the DrinkLocalWine.com website at http://www.drinklocalwine.com.

While visiting Virginia, schedule a few extra days and visit some of the local wineries. For suggestions, you may want to use one of the Itineraries suggested on the Wine Trail Traveler website. If you want to limit the amount of driving, consider http://winetrailtraveler.com/itineraries/i66va.php. This itinerary includes wineries such as Pearmund Cellars and The Winery at La Grange.

Come to the east coast and enjoy springtime in Virginia.

Cheers!
