According to the calendar, spring has sprung; however, this past weekend challenged this wisdom. It was rainy and very cool with sweaters and umbrellas very much the fashion order of the day. However, Chrysalis Vineyards‘ Smooth Jazz Festival warmed things up a bit with music, food and wine. We attended this event and experienced newer releases, grilled fare, and hot jazz!

We were greeted by Chef Hump Astorga who had remembered us from a previous visit with Jennifer McCloud. Hump invited us to visit the tasting table before indulging in lunch, and we took his advice. The outdoor tasting tables offered nine wines to sample including the newly released 2005 Chardonnay Reserve. Also on the list was the highly acclaimed 2005 Viognier as well as the popular 2006 Sarah’s Patio Red and the seductive 2003 Norton Locksley Reserve.

As we settled at a table for lunch, the Matthew Grason band transitioned to a jazz/funk improvisation that had Paul dancing in his seat! The rain continued, but we enjoyed our lunch with the 2003 Norton Estate. Of course, we will return to Chrysalis Vineyards, but we know that our readers will be visiting even sooner—be sure to tell Jennifer McCloud and the helpful staff at Chrysalis Vineyards that Virginia Wine Time sent you!
