It was a beautiful day along the Blue Ridge Parkway! The sky was blue, Hokies were dominating the road, and we were going to the Chateau to enjoy some Hokie Bird Wine with friends. Jordie didn't tell us that she got car sick until after she was in the fetal position in the backseat, but despite that, the trip went well.
We had never been to a wine festival before, so we had no idea what to expect, but we were pleasantly surprised. Hokies were everywhere drinking out of wine glasses with a VT on them, listening to some good old mountain bluegrass played by a local Floyd group.
We spent the day talking with co-workers and friends, and enjoying some good Virginia Wine. I am very partial to white wines, and had never enjoyed the Hokie Bird white before, but I think they may have finally gotten it right this year.
Our Dog Blue was another fine choice, as was Independence, a wine whose proceeds go towards rescuing dogs. But, the best part about the festival was definitely our private tour. It's great having connections!! I'm excited about the fall, as I plan to go and pick grapes with the Stanleys!!
