Wine & Cheese Class - Pacific Northwest - Sunday June 6

Since opening, I have had the opportunity to pour some pretty amazing wines from the Pacific Northwest, remember the Technicolor Bat Tempranillo, and The Pines Old Vine Zin?

But, I have only begun to scratch the surface on amazing wines from this region which stretches from Oregon into Canada. This area is so much more to offer than phenomenal Pinot Noir!

We’ll taste through 6 wines and six regional cheeses that pair oh so perfectly with those wines. Call 703-888-0845 or come in the shop to reserve your spot today.

Class size is limited to 34 people. $59.99 Per Person, Pre Paid, Plus Tax
Sunday, June 6th from 6:30-8pm.

April 25th Class - Livin La Vida Local

Many of you don't know that I grew up in a farming family in Texas, (we used to grow 150 acres of Watermelons and Cantaloupe, and Hay) so I know first hand what it's like to watch the weather and pray for rain...without hail! ;-) Even when the crops turn out perfect, you have to struggle to get it all sold in time, and you more than likely have to use a distributor as well who in turn gets a large piece of the profit pie. Farming is hard work, whether it's melons or grapevines.

There is a lot of "talk" these days about supporting local farmers. Just about every menu says local this and local that (hopefully it's true). I never understood how you could get a local melon on a D.C. menu in November? LOL - oh well...city-folk.

What I am getting to is that Virginia wine makers and cheese makers are farmers who deserve our support year round. There those of you who are skeptics when it comes to drinking Virginia wine. You know who you are: (ahem my husband David) . But our plan is to change your mind with our next class. We are going to feature six - really good Virginia wines, and six delicious local cheeses to pair with those wines.

I do hope you'll join us in celebrating wine and cheese makers from our own state.
