When it came to Virginia wines, it boiled down to three things:
Surprise, both about the quality and the diversity of the offerings. Petit Manseng, anyone?
An earnest pursuit to find and purchase the wines after the tasting. (Despite Virginia's proximity to Atlanta, Georgia -- where the tasting was held and where we all live -- the availability of Virginia wines here is very limited. This is due, my taster friend Jonathan was told in his research, to limited quantities and distributor bottlenecks.)
Pride.

BUTTER.” That’s what we said too (in not so many words) when we learned we were going to Charlottesville, Virginia, for the Monticello Wine Trail. Virginia is all Southern charm to a couple of New Yorkers like us, but we were about to learn otherwise in four days, five wineries, and glass upon glass upon… Well, you know how this goes.
