[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]RdV is overpriced IMO (and also has been bought out) but if you want to feel like you are getting the fanciest experience, that is the one.  Otherwise, there are many nice options within one hour of DC.  I like the wineries in the Middleburg area and then dinner at Tremolo, which also has an excellent international list of wines by the glass.[/quote]

For the close-in places:

RDV is probably the bet quality you'll find anywhere that is not from the west coast.  It's pricey and reservations are hard to get - and are an absolute must otherwise they will not admit you on the property.

A second very solid option would be Crimson Lane.  Perhaps the most beautiful tasting room, great views and they are making some pretty damn good wine - not quite Napa/Sonoma, yet, but really quite good.  Food is outstanding too.

Third recommendation would be Linden.  Beautiful setting but without the "wow" views.  Very good wine.

These are great suggestions!

FWIW Virginia has some great wines, but as stated above its all about what you enjoy. If it's a fabulous petit verdot but that style doesn't float your boat, why does it matter?[/quote]
