Vintage Virginia – The day the wine washed away

Category: Out and about – treojohnny 7:39 pm

Today I am wet. And in wet, I mean soaked to the bone. I am also sunburned on my face and was more than a little bit tipsy. But believe it or not, today over all was a good day.

I met several of my friends out at Bull Run Park for the Vintage Virginia wine festival. With over 50 different local vineyards, lots of food, music and crafts I figured it would be a great day. I was right, even if the rain was going sideways for awhile and we kept waiting for the funnel cloud to form over us. And frankly I knew that it would rain today, though I was a tad surprised at the tanasity of mother nature. She must have be a beer drinker.

Dave, Rob and I rode out the 2 big storms that came through inside some of the tasting tents. Thank you Veritas and Loudoun County winery’s by the way, I am a lot less wet due to your generosity. Of course while we were there we bought a couple of bottles and drank them during the wait. I do not think that Scott and Erci fared as well since they left after the first round of storms.

If you get the chance, I do recommend the festival. Its held around the first of June each year at Bull Run Park.
