Any Vinophiles?

I've not been to Napa, but my wife has and she enjoyed it. Two recent vacations were to Languedoc/Provence and Tuscany, respectively. Needless to say, there was plenty of wine touring involved. A trip to Bordeaux is also on the books eventually for the same reason.

So you are well ahead of the game. I suggested Cali since it's easier to retrieve the wine yourself, not having to deal with importing it. I'm a fan of Italian style wines, I would love to go to Tuscany some day. you lucky .....

I actually got married at the Williamsburg Winery. Beautiful place. Pretty awful wine; there was only one bottle I liked. I've been to a Virginia Wine tasting event before and was unimpressed. It's just too humid around here for great wines, I think. Williamsburg regularly hits 100% humidity in the summer! I do have friends who swear there are some decent wineries out around Charlottesville, but I haven't tried any of them. With prices so low on wines from Chile, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand, there's a lot of competition for local budget bottles.

Yeah, I wasn't impressed with the Williamsburg stuff either. The better stuff will be to the west in the hills, from Charlottesville up to Leesburg. It's hit or miss, but there are a few decent ones around. Three Fox Vineyards has some nice Italian varieties.

@Ser Clegane - Rieslings, also a good choice. Lightweight, great for summer. I prefer the drier style though.
