After two days of traveling and sightseeing in Washington DC, today was laundry, shopping, cleaning and wine tasting. Virginia is 5th in terms of wineries and wine production and there are a lot of wineries in this area. Of the few I visited, Rappahannock Cellars had the best selection of wine, and they were pretty good. They had a great Norton, which is a grape developed in Virginia in the early 1800's and it does extremely well here. Rappahannock Cellars is family owned, in fact the owners have 12 children, so lots of family presence there. Their oldest son Allan was my server and we had a great time and he poured wines that are not on the regular tasting menu. A great way to end the day.
