Virginia Wineries





On our drive back from Maine, we stopped in Virginia to have dinner with our good friend (met all the way back in Junior High School). We had a great time talking, catching up on our very busy lives at a local Greek restaurant then said our farewell for the evening - just wish we had taken some pictures!! Vicki, remember to send us the cucumber-garlic dip!! Yummy!

We planned to tour some wineries the next day so we drove on a few more hours to The Holladay House B&B in Orange (near Charlottesville). Our hosts and breakfast were excellent. And our bedroom had a wireless connection!

The two wineries we visited had wonderful wines (we love reds) and had made considerable improvement from our stop many years ago (mid-1990's). It was a good day and we enjoyed mingling with others gallivanting about the countryside as well. Of course, how can it possibly be a bad day when your task at hand is "sampling" wines :)

I still haven't acquired a taste for reds! You'd be horrified to know, I need to have some lemonade in it!!! Don't mind a nice white and I'm loving champagne (yes, I'm a cheap drunk - glass and a half does me!!!)
