QOTD: Best thing about Virginia is the diversity of the state. To the west you’ve got the mountains. To the east there is the beach.

Lucky for me I live right in between those. Everybody should visit Richmond, VA great town just to walk through and see the sites.

GV!! I visited Virginia a few years ago when my best friend lived there…been a couple times actually. QOTD: Favorite thing in VA, well when I was still a single guy, the lovely girls from Martha Washington College in Fredricksburg. Now, some of the wine, I had a bunch of really good things, but the one that really stood out for me was some stuff from Keswick Vineyards, they made a blend, seems like it was cab, cab franc, Touriga National, and a couple others too, called it Trevillian. Rocked my face off.

Great to see you in VA. QOTD: Close call between the Shenandoah Valley and the ham.

LaGrange and Pearmund are well known to me. Chris makes great wine. Hopefully you visited another well known winery nearby; Mediterreanean Cellars. They have the Cab Franc and it’s “peppery” finish you are so fond of. They also have 11 other great wines to choose from. Visit Mediterreanean Cellars next time your visit VA.
To bad the Jets got rid of Pennington for Favre.

charlotteville. Monticello UVA the mountains… Magical

Love to hear about wines from the other states.

QOTD: Buzz and Ned’s BBQ in Richmond – THE BEST!

Fun show – wish I knew you’d be out in VA, would have driven out from DC for the show 🙁

My children who all grew up in Virginia. Thanks for the review of my state’s wines. Gives me renewed hope that VA can produce good wines if the use the right varietals. I am working with a good friend in Franklin VA to produce a vineyard with really good grapes. This will be the first harvest of Grenache, Viognier, rrousanne, and Syrah. I still live in VA and have had really mixed feelings about the wines until I tasted some of the great Viognier’s here. I’m hoping that Grenache will catch on as well.

best thing about virginia is DCA.

That Pearmund Viognier is now at the top of my shortlist to try… I would have been at the taping if it hadn’t been 75 bones to attend.

QOTD: Robert E Lee

QOTD: Never been, cause it’s on the other side of the continent.

Had a Breaux viognier recently – really, really good stuff. Winemaker, David Collins, is a family friend, but it’s still really good stuff. Gary – give it a shot the next time you do Virginia wines.

QOTD – your University of Virginia men’s lacrosse team – next year’s NCAA champs. Go Wahoos!

Just got back from a vacation in Virginia so I’d say the Lake Anna area is my favorite thing about VA.

QOTD: It’s for lovers

Great show. Liked the low seat! 6 wines! GREAT! Virginia? GREAT!
Good politician words on the La Grange! haha. Gary O-ba-ma!

Great verbage, good humor. love it!

QOTD: Virginia Creeper Trail, Virginia local theatre, Virginia horseback riding, and a couple of the wineries. smile.

It’s great that you did a show in Virgina! Great show!

QOTD: The Virgina beach is great, along with all the historical sights like Williamsburg, and the fact that many parts of it are so close to DC. Just went to Arlington, VA this summer for vacation with the family, and it was wonderful an relaxing.

My favorite thing about Virginia is that my Rhone Ranger friend who got me into wine lives there.

QOTD: The beautiful mountains

To anyone in the Vaynernation, if you wanna see VA let me know. I will show you the best spots.

QOTD: By far the mountains and Blue Ridge Parkway. Last time there the kids were too young so we didn’t visit the wineries. It is now high on my list to get back to visit them. Great Show.

SO FUN to meet you, Mott and Lizzy! I hope to see you guys again soon here in VA.

QOTD: There are lots of faves for me since I live here, but I love the fall season here especially if we are staying at a B&B in the western part of the state. Also the history! It all started here in VA!

Nice to see some familiar bottles on the show, too bad I can’t really say I enjoyed any of them.

As a life long resident of the domininon there are many things I love about my state, family, friendly people (south of NOVA), history, and the VPI. My favorite part has to be the AT (Appalachian Trail), which is the greatest hiking trail of all and the most miles happen to run through this great state. Of course the thing I like the least is VA wines, been to the majority of the wineries tasted at various va tasting festival and am always walk away unimpressed.

Great show!
