https://oevenezolano.org/2024/08/qipvz5c6tmn Last weekend we went to the Virginia Wine Showcase held at the Dulles Expo Center. There were many wineries in attendance and we visited many of them. We tried to focus on those we had not visited before or were too far away to travel to in a weekend.

At the Valhalla booth we were able to do a reserve tasting. They had a separate area set up just for the reserve tasting. We walked up to the booth and saw our friend Susan. She was already tasting the reserve wines. We joined her and thoroughly enjoyed the wines Valhalla had on their reserve list for the day. It’s always fun to run into an old friend and enjoy some wine and conversation.

We tasted wines at the Vino Curioso and noticed a basket full of M&Ms, Skittles, lollipops, and goldfish crackers. We talked with one of the owners, Mike Matthews. We asked what this was about and he explained that they feel wines should be paired with fun things to eat as well as nice meals. Of course we spent a little time enjoying the wines with the pairings. It certainly made the tasting more fun.

One of the last booths we visited was New Kent Winery. We had heard of them before but have not had the chance to visit. We talked with Pete Johns about the concept and their wines. We heard previously that Tom Payette was working on a White Norton. We were pleased that we could taste this wine. The New Kent website describes the White Norton as follows and we couldn’t agree more. This is one that shouldn’t be missed.

Cool fermentation in stainless steel and blending finesse has made this light Virginia rose wine extraordinarily complex and sought after.”

Here are some pictures from the day.
