I didn't know either until I did the post. I have been to a few tastings and not always wine. Sometimes Mead, sometimes Cider... but, this was wine as I was pretty interested in seeing a small Virginia vineyard.
I love that he was able to purchase this all-but abandoned estate less than 12 years ago and made it into a success, using the Battle of Bull Run to his advantage. To be fair, the family are huge history buffs and have ties to the first British to land here. They are a super nice family and I am happy to see their success. They kept all the history, and fences and rebuilt the barns in the exact likeness of what was there.
Kept the foundation of the estate and use it as a platform for weddings, and is hugely popular.
Thank you so much for reading the post and for supporting the challenge!
