So many local wineries...so little time. It's hard to believe that summer is already winding down and we haven't made a single trip to the Lake Anna Winery yet.
But it's not too late. This article in the Richmond Times Dispatch inspired me to hit the road before the summer's over and stop by a number of our local vineyards. Reporter Jack Berninger talked to a number of local winemakers about their favorite wines, including Lake Anna's Graham Bell.
Graham Bell has been the winemaker at Lake Anna since 2001 after staining his fingers first at Montdomaine Cellars, then at Horton Vineyards, both in Virginia."Seyval Blanc [$12]. It's a nice, fruity wine [with aromas of] pear, a little apple. It's fermented and aged six months in stainless-steel tanks and is off-dry, light and refreshing."
A little bit of research also led me to the Heart of Virginia Wine Trail (have you noticed the signs alongside the roads?).
Their last event was a few weeks ago but the season isn't over yet and they've got at least one more event planned for 2007.
