https://foster2forever.com/2024/08/93xm4ni3.html On this Father’s Day weekend we decided to continue our quest for stickers in the Passport To Virginia Wineries book by going to two other wineries we that had not visited. Therefore, we paid visits to Old House and Prince Michel. In addition to collecting two more stickers, we got to taste some very nice wines!

As we drove in on Corky’s Lane we noticed the vines looked very healthy, and the property looked as Victorian as it did when we last visited. Two other visitors were also there, and we were able to compare our notes with them; we also had some nice conversation with them during our tasting.

https://udaan.org/4kre0ab1c.php We continued to taste the other reds with our eye on what to have with lunch. Warren brought along a roasted pork tenderloin that he had prepared the night before, and he could not resist the fresh raspberries and strawberries now available at the market; so, those came along too! With this in mind, we were eager to sample the 2003 Cabernet Franc, and that is what we ultimately decided to buy to accomany our lunch. Of course, 2003 was a tricky year for wine makers in Virginia due to heavy rains; wet years particularly effect red wine grapes. However, the 2003 Old House Cabernet Franc exhibited characters associated with a nice Cabernet Franc. It had a clear ruby color that suggested a medium-bodied wine; aromas of raspberry with slight hints of pepper were noticeable. In the mouth, raspberry, cherry, and pepper also prevailed; in fact, the fresh raspberries that we brought along seemed to so me alive when paired with this Cabernet Franc. We savored our Cabernet Franc with lunch, and then we bid adieu to our tasting partners as they made their way to another winery. And guess what we did next? We, too, went off to another winery—Prince Michel.

In fact, we even bought a bottle to enjoy with some chocolates on their enclosed patio. Paul brought the rest of the Shiraz home but also bought a bottle of their Merlot and the 2005 Rose. Another noteworthy red is the Symbius—a Bourdeaux-style blend that is more full-bodied. Warren bought a bottle of this one during his last visit to Prince Michel.

The afternoon tastings secured two more stickers for our books and revealed several new Virginia wines that tasted wonderful!
