Wine Season has started!

Gone are the cold and wintery days at the Vineyard. We are no longer sitting around watching the wines in the barrels. We are busy, busy, busy.

We attended the first festival of the season... Reston's "Great Grapes" Wine Festival! We broke a record that day for the hottest day yet on April 25th. A whopping 92 degrees! Although seriously it felt like 120! The Sangria was flowing rapidly all day long. We took our Red Table wine and added a few ingredients and "ta da" LVV's Sangria was born. We sold the wine and included the "Secret Recipe", it was the best seller of the day by far.

Meanwhile back at the Vineyard.... We continued filtering the wines, preparing them for the long awaited bottling. The new wines that are being bottled this weekend will be released in the tasting room either the last week of May or first week of June. Be sure to check them out... you won't be disappointed.

I also just finished planning some events at the Vineyard for May and June (The are listed on our website as we speak). The Vineyard will be hosting many music and food events for the summer season. I for one can't wait for Chef Rick to start the Pit Barbeque up. He makes a mean brisket!

Last but not least Bree was awarded this past week with 4 international awards. Three bronze (Chamborcin, Dynasty & Vinifera Red) and one silver (Vinifera White). I couldn't be more proud of Bree!

Well, that's it for now... I will keep you updated as things keep happening at the Vineyard!
Salud!
