An Evening with Dave McIntyre: A Wine Writer's Perspective on Virginia's Past and Future

Join us on Friday, November 13, 6-8pm for an evening of conversation with Wine Journalist Dave McIntyre, whose writing has helped bring attention to the people and places shaping wine near and far.

After more than 16 years as the wine columnist for The Washington Post, McIntyre is now the author of Dave McIntyre's WineLine on Substack, and Associate Wine Editor and columnist at The SOMM Journal, where he continues to explore the people, places and stories behind the wines we drink.

With his firsthand perspective on the evolution of Virginia wine, Dave will share his thoughts on how far the industry has come, the challenges it continues to face, and the opportunities that lie ahead. From the people building Virginia wine's identity to the qualities that make this region distinctive, it's a chance to hear from someone who has watched the story unfold behind-the-scenes and who continues to follow where it's going.

We look forward to welcoming you to the vineyard for an evening of conversation, fresh perspective, and a closer look at the past, present, and future of the region's wine.

The evening also includes a curated flight of 4 wines, and a boxed dinner from Greenwood Grocery. Preference for your meal's sandwich option must be submitted by 5pm on Tuesday, November 10 by email to <info@pollakvineyards.com>
