How Much Are You Willing to Pay?

June 21, 2008 – 12:48 am

I just received an ad from a wine store about 10 miles from my home. Out of curiosity, I flipped through looking at some of the prices. How is it that French wines, Australian wines and wines from across the country are less expensive than wines in our own “backyard.”  Of course, startup costs are […]

Pomegranate wine

April 29, 2008 – 5:22 pm

Just the other night, I enjoyed a pomegranate wine with dinner. This is a bottle of wine I bought in 2007 while visiting Hinnant Family Vineyards. This 100% pomegranate wine is bottled in a clear bottle with a lovely label accented with gold and an artistic view of a pomegranate tree. Rather than having a red […]

Local Wines at Front Royal Applebee’s

April 20, 2008 – 2:02 pm

On a recent visit to wineries along Route 66 in Virginia, we stopped for a late lunch at Applebee’s in Front Royal.

Glass […]

Wineries in the Northwest

April 8, 2008 – 7:55 pm

At last, back from an exciting trip to 19 wineries in Oregon and Washington, we have finished writing the articles about each winery we visited. As we discovered Oregon and Washington are beautiful despite the vineyards not leafed out yet. The buds are swelling so it won’t be long. The views of Willamette Valley AVA, […]

Winter Winery Visits

February 8, 2008 – 6:24 pm

Occasionally, we are asked, “Why visit wineries in the winter?” On a very cold day, January 2007, we visited a winery that had originally been a barn. The heating system had a difficult time, heating the building and the floor was cement. Dressed warmly, the cold seeped into our bones. On the positive side, I […]
