Ah, another weekend has arrived. We are having beautiful weather out here in Northern Virginia lately and today is no exception. It's in the high seventies / low eighties with minimal humidity, so you can be sure everyone is out and about. We decided to head up to Reston VA and do a wine tasting at The Wine Cabinet. We do like this wine shop... Read More

Today just keeps getting better and better. It's 65 F outside right ... a beautiful day out here in Northern Virginia. So I got home with the Medlock Ames shipment and had it all taken downstairs to our basement wine cellar when the phone rings and it's UPS - there was another package for me. What? I had the full case from this shipment, p... Read More

We've considered helping out with the harvest at Grey Ghost Vineyards here in Northern Virginia before, but the schedules never worked out for us. What sort of training do they give someone new to harvesting the grapes, such as where to cut the bunches, how to handle them to avoid damage, etc.?I don't see any 'help with the harvest' information...

V V - Reston is a place where Sandra & I both worked for several years - ... ... we had moved out here to Northern Virginia in 1991. The Wine Cabinet has been in business for eleven years but this was our first visit. We've only been serious about wine for maybe 5 or 6 years now, so that's why. Our wine adventure started with a glass in fan... Read More

We are members of the Duckhorn wine club (red wines only though) and at this tasting we sampled a few of their whites, specifically Decoy the Sauvig... Read More

A quiet evening out here in Northern Virginia. It's cold again (25 F plus a wind chill making it feel like 14 F) following a slight and brief warm up yesterday. We still have lots of snow on the ground but since I finished shoveling yesterday, I was able to devote some quality time to cleaning tile in our master bathroom. I did that for two h... Read More

Sandra and I were fortunate yesterday to attend a quickly sold out (57 minutes ... ... class at our favorite Northern Virginia winery, RdV. Getting our two slots in this class was tough, as we didn't call them until 5 or 6 hours after their e-mail was released and we therefore ended up on a waiting list - along with about 100 other wine love...

Ok, I've decided to open the Caymus 40th anniversary Cabernet Sauvignon ... on this beautiful Sunday in Northern Virginia (it's almost 60 F right now) and I didn't give her a chance to say no to me opening the bottle. I poured it into the decanter and took a quick reference sip (for quality assessment mind you). It has a strong vanilla taste... Read More

Sandra and I did a little wine tasting yesterday, going to first Glen Manor out ... in the Front Royal area of Northern Virginia and then to RdV in Delaplane VA for a special wine class (I'll make a new topic for that one). Several well known wine makers have learned their trade at Linden Vineyards which is nearby, and that would be Jeff White... Read More
