Now, I know I am no expert in this world of wine. My specialty is more along the lines of being able to sniff out who has the good food stashed in their coolers, but I have done a lot of research and a lot of listening around the tasting room. One term that seems […]
If you’ve stopped by the vineyard and met me, I don’t think there is any denying that I am the sweetest thing all around, but after me, there are a few other sweet items in our tasting room. Our name itself gives you a hint of the sweetness that can be found in some of […]
I may be an old fellow and slowing down a bit, but there is one thing I will never get tired of: springtime! Sure, I let those bunnies hop through my yard without barking at them as much, and I haven’t chased too many skunks this year (Mom is really appreciative of this change), but […]
It’s that time of year again for lazy sunny days spent cruising the countryside, driving from one vineyard to another, drinking delicious wine, and petting incredibly handsome dogs (ahem!). Sometimes people are visiting a winery for their first time and don’t know all the steps of the tasting process, and sometimes they just forget to […]
Oh boy, oh boy! Spring is my favorite time of year. The country air is always full of good smells: flowers, freshly cut grass, manure being spread over the fields, and burger being grilled for dinner. I could tell you which one of those is my favorite, but you probably already know! What more could […]
Last week I heard someone asking Mom why there were sulfites in our wine. They were lamenting that the European wine they had recently enjoyed on vacation said nothing about sulfites on that label, but all American wines list “contains sulfites” on their labels. Now, I know I’m just a dog, and there may be […]
Last month my mom left me for over 2 weeks! Can you imagine that? 14 long days without her to follow around and wait for her to give me the best ear rubs anyone can give? I was morose. I did nothing but mope while my dad tried to love me back to my normal […]
In the Virginia wine world, February means something very exciting. No, it is not my birthday month. That is August, just in case you are wondering, and I wear a size yummy in treats. What February is known for is that it is the month when the Virginia Governor’s Cup announces all of the award […]
It’s hard to believe that our vineyard finally has something on the menu that is as sweet as I am. When we released our dessert style Petit Manseng, Lil Em, last week, I have to admit that I didn’t know a lot about dessert style wines. Over the past week, I have undergone an investigation, […]
Boy, oh boy- I have missed this keyboard. Before I talk to you about the importance of using a wine glass when drinking wine, I wanted to catch you up on my last month. Several weeks ago, I had a sore toe. I licked it until it felt better, but all of a sudden my […]
