Virginia Wine Festival

I grew up in the Black Hills and a tunnel took one "through" a mountain. This tunnel took us "under" the James River. I find going under the water like this amazing!

It was the fourth day of sitting indoors due to cold, rainy, sunless weather and we needed a change. So we headed off to Norfolk, VA for the 22nd annual Virginia Wine Festival. Heck, we figured we could get all the wineries in one spot rather than spending a day driving around to hit six.



The weather was still cold and the sun didn't shine, but it didn't rain. There were about 30 Virginia vintners represented and thousands of people. I guess ucky weather doesn't keep wine lovers away from the wine! We didn't sample them all, but found some good wines that we'll enjoy a little later.
