They’ll all stack up well against wine from more prestigious regions.  Some wine snobs claim to not like it but it’s because they don’t like the Virginia part.

Others to look at with nice wine:
Crimson Lane
Capstone
Rappahannock

Plus a few further south that some people have already mentioned:
Walsh
Barboursville
Pippin Hill

A lot of people tend to prefer Virginia white wine, but many of the above spots have good red too.  And Rappahannock has a good sparkling program.

Virginia red wine is closer to old world than California, so comparing it to California is pointless.

If the only red you like is when you’re getting smacked in the face, then stick with Napa.

The problem with Virginia wine is that it’s expensive.  But that’s the cost of making a high quality product in small amounts and with challenging weather (some years).

Disregard any opinion that excludes Virginia wine out of hand.  They’re either inexperienced, have an ax to grind, or think that making such sweeping statements makes them appear refined and picky.  It’s a chore to listen to these people.[/quote]
