This trip was sans kids....poor Sam. Whenever we take a trip and there are wineries he has to put up with our stop. This time, knowing we wouldn't be making him b-o-r-e-d, we planned to stop quite a bit, and we brought an empty wine box with room for 12 bottles. Well, we have 2 days left in our vacation and are not planning any more stops. I need to report that the box is full and we have about 3 others. We had one more, but it has been.....savored. *G*
We are wine snobs...or winos, as Sam puts it. We enjoy finding small wineries whose output means they do not have a large distribution. It is a pleasure to discover that there are many capable winemakers in this country.
Boordy Winery northwest of Baltimore, Maryland
On other trips we have purchased wine in wineries in California (of course, but only small places), Oregon (the biggest and best-we actually joined the wine club-is the King Estate outside of Eugene), Washington state, New Mexico, Colorado, West Virginia of course, Maryland and Virginia. Although we were very close to the Barboursville winery while in Charlottesville, we chose not to go there as it is fairly large with distribution at least regional if not national.
